My Name is Russell!

Name that movie.........
My Bubba is almost eight years and that means he will be joining Cub Scouts this month. He is very excited....can you tell? Here he is giving me the Cub Scout salute.
Monday was a holiday from school so Luke took the boys down to the Boy Scouts of America office to get Bubba everything he'll need...plus more. He bought some badge sticky stuff and even got all of his stuff on his shirt before I got home from work! Amazing! He was very sweet and took care of Bubba and I. He made a second trip down Monday afternoon to pick up a Cub Leader manual I need. Yes---I am the Cub Master for Bubba's "pack." I know NOTHING about Cub Scouts...and since my husband was kicked out of Cubs-- we got nuthin'! :)
But I am trying my best. Hopefully once Bubba gets into the swing of things it will start to come more natural to me.
Here's Russell....from the movie "Up."

I can't believe he's so old! The time goes quickly. My oldest was baptized last month - get ready!

That Stop Wasn't On My Itinerary....

So the Hogue's made it to Florida for our first official family vacation. It was Sawyer's first plane ride....and Simon's first plane ride that he can remember. We were excited....the boys were stoked. We had everything we needed! But it seems that Sawyer packed something with him that wasn't on our checklist: a big case of pneumonia. Yes, the little fella made it almost one whole day in Florida before he started heading downhill fast. Our 2nd day in Orlando we were in the Urgent Care south of Cocoa Beach. (By the way, to see a doctor more quickly, it helps if you vomit all over the waiting room in front of the receptionist. Little tip for ya) After chest x-rays they advised us to head to the ER in Melbourne, where they eventually admitted him to the hospital. So, we had 3 night deluxe accommadations at the Holmes Regional Medical Center. The little whipper snapper was a trooper though! The nurses loved him, thankfully, and made us all feel right at home. We were going to send postcards out with pictures of the hospital since we spent 40% of our trip there...but they didn't have any. Imagine that!Hmmm.....maybe its something they should consider.
