2nd Birthday for Petunia

Everyone watch out...I have a crazy two year old in the house!
And yes...I do mean crazy. My deal, quiet little Petunia is now two...and not so quiet...or little.
In fact....Miss Petunia now weighs in at a whopping 40 pounds and is approximately 36 inches tall. She has grown 1.5 inches since June! No wonder all of her summer clothes are getting a little snug! SHe is rolling in mostly 5T now...but has a few 4T she is hanging on to.
This year her birthday fell on a Friday...and it was the last Friday of summer break. So--she is celebrating with her brothers, but daddy had to go to work. We started with a trip to Jamba Juice with the gift card Grandma and Grandpa Baer gave her. She even shared and bought some for her big bothers....I mean brothers. What a nice girl! :)


Petunia's birthday party was Saturday evening and she was ready to get the party started. We were so blessed to have family and friends with us to share all the sugar with!! Red velvet cake balls, PB Chocolate chip cookies, cupcakes and strawberry cake! Oh my!


Grandma Hogue made her this special dress and included some Yo Gabba Gabba decals on the bottom. It was a big hit.

Happy Birth Wiggy girl! I cannot believe you are two. Next thing I know you'll be asking me to shave your legs and wear mascara.
We love you!

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.
