Tubbs is Nine

Tubby Tubbs is nine and we just can't believe it. He is growing up into a big, little dude. He is 54.5 inches and 93 pounds. He definitely has girth on his side. I don't think he is a kid others will be messing with on the playground. Tubbs is also the type of boy who doesn't take gruff from others. It's probably because he has a big brother and has been in trained in the art of harassment. Watching him scrap with his older brother is a mixture of emotions. Its comical and entertaining, while at the same time you want them to stop. He can definitely hold his own. He has grown almost two inches since last birthday, but I am waiting for him to really sprout.

We thought Tubbs might be expecting some birthday balloons above his bed, like we did for Bubba....so we had to get a little creative. Grandma and Grandpa sent him birthday money so we put it in balloons, but we hung the nine balloons in the shower....hoping he was the first one awake like usual. I think when he woke up he was kind of mopey...until Luke told him to get in the shower and get ready for school.
Breakfast was daddy's chocolate chip croissants and eggs. He received a Target gift card from Bubba and Wiggy and an Ipod Touch from mom and dad. He was very, very happy!! :)

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.
