Father's Day 2016

From LAX we got to the house after 2am on Sunday morning, Father's Day, so the day was off to an unusual start. After sleeping a few hours we did some laundry, packed our bags back up and headed north to Roseville. 
We did ask big daddy what he wanted for breakfast and after much contemplation he came back with his usual answer...cinnamon crumb cake. I can do that! A side of scrambled eggs and milk. 
Breakfast is served! :)

Daddy opened his super-duper special Pug card that Wiggy picked out. 
We got dad a new BBQ for Father's Day....which he still needs to pick out. Haha.
 Luke gave Bubba a buzz-cut before we left. 
This boy has the thickest head of hair!
The drive up was pretty easy and quick. 
Driving 300 miles is nothing after our first week of traveling.
Because it was Father's Day, we let dad play DJ and listen to all of his crappy music from the 80's. Who knew this guy could play all of the air instruments, including the tambourine!? :)
We got to Grandma and Grandpa Baer's house before dinner time. Grandpa opened up a few gifts we brought.
Grandma Baer made Grandpa's favorite stuffed pork chops with stuffing, as well as some baked chicken. We also had green beans from Grandpa's garden.

After dinner they watched the Golden State Warriors lose game seven of the NBA finals to the Cavaliers. Tubbs was not very happy.
When it started to get dark we headed to the back porch and the kids made some smores for dessert. They are so spoiled now! They have had them three times now in the month of June. Every time we come to visit, they get Smores. 

The three dogs like to get marshmallows thrown their way.

 Rufus thinks he can beg his little pal for some of her Smores. 
It almost worked Rufus. Almost. :)

Found this picture of Grandpa Baer when we was 10 years old, so I put it side by side with Bubba when he was 11 years old. 

Happy Father's day to my favorite fathers---Luke, Seven Bears (Grandpa Baer) and Grandpa Hogue! I love you very much. XOXOX

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.
