The year finally came. Now that Wiggy is in elementary school she gets to participate in the school's annual Daddy/Daughter Dance. It's $20 for each child and it includes a small bought of flowers. Wiggy LOVES to dance, so she anticipated the dance for weeks. I bought her a dress from Gap and an adorable pea coat to match. I should know better. She likes to do her own thing and I really think we have two different senses of style. Anyways, Grandma and Grandpa Hogue came for Superbowl and brought a dress with them they found at Costco. She fell in love with that dress and decided she wanted to wear that. (Good thing Grandpa Hogue has better style than mom) I ordered a corsage and boutonniere that morning and picked them up before I got the kids from school.
Crazy-eyes
Luke and Wiggy left the house around 4:30 so they could go to dinner at Red Robin. The dance went from 6-8. Luke sent me photos and videos throughout the evening. That girl loves to dance. Luke claims he danced WITH her but I didn't get that on video.
Daddy took her to Tutti Frutti for yogurt after the dance.
Bubba went camping with the Boy Scouts, so I dropped him off at the church at 4pm, then raced back to get Wiggy out of the bath and do her hair.
After Luke and Wiggy left, that left me and Tubby-Tubbs. He gave me his itinerary for the night so he was my date! First up was Barnes and Nobles, where he picked out two books for Accelerated Reader.
Then we went to BJ's for dinner. While waiting for our food we played the app "Heads Up," where one person has to act out whatever pops up on the phone screen and the person holding the phone has to try and guess what it is. Tubbs really liked it and it was a lot of fun.
After dinner we went to Sports Authority where Tubbs picked out some football gloves and a mouthpiece. Tubbs' new thing is football. :)
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.
Established October 9, 1999, we met in March of 1998 when Katie was "hanging out" with Luke's loser roommate. Although Luke didn't let Katie in on this fact until much later....Katie eventually kicked the loser to the curb the summer of 1998. We started dating later that year in December and were engaged in May 1999 when Katie could no longer resist the Hogue charm! What a whirlwind!
Our first "bug," as born in 2002 and was joined by his partner in crime in 2004. Often referred to as the "Hogue Tag Team" these boys are mischievious, snuggly and always up for a good time! Our third bug shook the tag team up with her pink bows and frills. She was born in August 2009 and has turned our tag team into a trio!
