Tubbs Turns 11

Tubbs' birthday fell on a Sunday this year. It was Stake conference at church and we ended up not going because Bubba was sick. He came home on Friday with a fever and sore throat. Saturday he had a fever and he was up through the night, not able to swallow. I was so tired from being up with him that we all played hooky. I felt bad for Tubbs because not only was it Sunday, but we were tending to Bubba on his special day.
Tubbs had requested mama's cinnamon rolls for his birthday breakfast. After breakfast Tubbs showered and got cleaned up. I took him for a bike ride around the neighborhood for about an hour. After we got home I took him to Sweet Surrender to pick up cupcakes that Grandma Hogue had ordered for him. After we got back from that pick up, I took Bubba to Urgent Care. We had an "appointment," but we still waited FOR-EVERRRRRRRRR. We didn't get home for three hours by the time I had dropped off the prescription. The good thing was I able to catch up on my scripture reading. (Gotta look at the bright side sometimes.)
Tubbs requested a birthday dinner, with French Toast. Tubbs doesn't like bacon or sausage, so he kept it simple with a side of eggs. Tubbs also doesn't like pepperoni...which I think should be a sin. Who doesn't like bacon and pepperoni?! For birthday dessert he requested a pazookie from BJ's. Bubba was still not able to eat and had a fever, so he stayed home. We brought him home a vanilla shake which aside from a breakfast cinnamon roll, was the only items he consumed all day.
All in all I think Tubbs had a very quiet, low key birthday. I enjoyed riding around with him for a bit and talking with him. He received his birthday gift two weeks before his birthday, so I think having it before his actual birthday took a little bit of the fun away.

Popping birthday balloons with a whopping $11 cash inside.

His birthday gift....a "fixi bike." He used his birthday cash to buy new blue pedals, handlebars wrapped with yellow tape and a red chain. It's like a rainbow bike. Hahaha.

A few days after his birthday Luke picked up Tubbs from school and took him to a birthday lunch at Wendy's. Tubbs swears they have the best burgers.

For his birthday party Tubbs invited a few friends to go watch Paul Blart - Mall Cop 2.

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.
