Wiggy's 4th Birthday

The princess turns four.
Yep. She's four and she knows it.
Four...going on twenty one I think. 
I never had this "problem" with my boys. In fact, they seem to age in reverse. Not Wiggy.
An early morning pic of the birthday girl sleeping....before we wake the Kracken. It's also the first day of school. 
Today is going to be a doozy!

New Princess Sofia backpack for school. Perfect!

Birthday breakfast...pancakes with mini M&M's.

Happy to be back at school with her little amigos!

Her pick for birthday dinner...Red Robin. No doubt..she has been asking to eat here everyday for a week. She loves the macaroni and cheese, with chocolate shake.

She loved her Princess Sofia shirt, Amulet, and puzzle.


Wiggy wanted a Princess Sofia birthday party with her little friends. We invited six girlfriends from school and church and they were all able to make it. 
Yay! 
Since it was a pajama party she was able to open a gift before the party, from Grandma and Grandpa Baer, of Princess Sofia jammies.
We started with some pizza...and it was wild watching a table full of three and four year olds, socializing (and not eating).

Then we rotated girls between different stations : painting nails, princess hair, making bracelets, and face painting.

 I made Wiggy's birthday cake. It was four layers and it was deeee-lish. I highly recommend Duff's confetti cake mix...and I found the buttercream frosting recipe on Pinterest, thanks to my MIL. I found the Sofia cutouts online and printed them on photo paper.

Within 30 minutes of the guests leaving...this was Princess Wiggy. Good thing it was a princess pajama party! Happy Birthday lil' Wiggy. I love you big girl!

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.
