Special Day

Saturday was a special day for my family!
Bubba was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints on March 6th.
He is such a blessing to his family and the day was so special to all of us.
We had family and friends there to support him.... Thank you! We felt so loved!
He was fortunate enough to be joined by two of his two classmates in primary, who were also baptized. I think that made it even a little more special for him. After the baptism we had lunch and dessert with family and friends. Luke even took the boys and their friends out in his Jeep and let them drive around in an empty field.
He also received his first set of scriptures with his name engraved on the front. We can't get him to stop reading them and/or carrying them around.
A very memorable day!
Bubba I am so very proud of you and the decision you made. I know your Heavenly Father is also very happy!
XOXOXO

Can I just say that Audrey aspires to dress like Petunia? I love all her hats, headbands, flowers. Super cute!

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.
