Wiggy's 5th Birthday Party

Wiggy has been talking about having her birthday party ever since having her 4th birthday party. August is honestly a sucky, busy month...so I wasn't really in a mood to throw a party...but it's Wiggy. We do anything for little Wiggy-Biscuit.
We decided to do a donut themed party this year and we had it on a Saturday morning. I thought that would make it pretty simple, along with the fact that we only invited over a few friends from church/school.
Grandpa Hogue made some vanilla ice cream and everyone ate a variety of donuts. It was sugar heaven at our house for two hours.

Her birthday "cake."
 The kids put on mustaches and then tried to eat donuts hanging from a string, with no hands.


 The water slide activity quickly turned into everyone jump into the pool instead.

 The Crayola chalk paint was a hit in the backyard patio.

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.
