Father's Day 2014

This year's Father's Day was very different for us because we headed up to Tehachapi in the morning to drop off the boys. The boys go camping with them for a week every summer, but they normally leave on a Monday morning--while I am at work--so this year I got to say goodbye in person.

I know of three wonderful fathers.....
 The day my Boo became a dad....
 My Pops....and me. You can tell by the crazy hair.
 Grandpa Baer sent us a picture before church....
 So we sent him a photo back......

Daddy wanted a simple Father's Day. Wasn't really too much different from any other day EXCEPT...he got a few extra kisses. Add yeah, I did make dinner. He requested a chicken salad with avocado, goat cheese, pine nuts and a lime dressing. What a wild and crazy guy! Watch out. 
He said he didn't want any dessert but Wiggy and I insisted on making him some brownies with butterscotch chips!
Happy Father's Day!

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.
