Tubbs is Ten!

Double digits for  my little big man. 
His birthday fell on the day before Easter this year...which meant it was also over the Easter break. I highly do not recommend birthdays to fall over long breaks from school because it gets rather pricey. This boy decided to party hard this year...with four actual days of celebrating.
Celebration Day #1 took place at our house, with five of his friends. We had a birthday breakfast, a water balook fight at the park and some swimming at the house.











Celebration Day #2 - He took two of his best friends to a movie
Celebration Day #3 - His actual BIRTH DAY. His choice for breakfast...egg and cheese croissants from Jack in the Box. I have to admit I was hoping for something I would really enjoy. Haha. His choice for dinner....are  you ready for this?
A Wendy's cheeseburger.
Really Tubbs? Have you no sympathy for your mom at all?!  I thought for sure he would pick Red Robin or BJ's. Nope. He is a simple dude who like his burgers.

 After breakfast Tubbs went with me on a 3 mile run, while he rode his scooter.


Celebration Day #4 - Easter. Grandma and Grandpa Hogue and Aunt Jenny came over for dinner and gifts.
Tubbs was a little pig in mud from all of the attention. He received many Lego sets and with his birthday money be bought...more Lego sets. 
SPOILED...SPOILED...SPOILED. We told this ten year old that next year this party thing is going to be low-key.

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.
