Last Day of School - 2016

Bubba's 8th Grade Graduation was the morning of June 2nd. The ceremony was at 9:30 in the school gymnasium. Because of the number of graduates each student could only get two tickets. Worked out fine for us since all of the family is out of town and the kids were still in school. 

That same morning Tubbs had his 6th grade awards assembly at BV. Luke and I divided and conquered. He dropped all the kids off at school and I drove over to Warren at 8:15 to get a decent seat in the gym for the graduation.  Luke was able to get back in time for the graduation, so everything worked out perfect!





That morning Wiggy was able to dress up as anything she wanted, so she chose Rapunzel. Her teacher took a picture of the two of them together and sent it to me.

My dad had a replacement stent put into his heart on June 1st, so he sent me this picture of my mom on the morning of graduation. She came to the hospital to see grandpa and do her crossword puzzle next to his bed.
Luke stayed behind to work and the rest of us drove up north to see Grandpa in Roseville. He was released from the hospital that afternoon, so he was home when we arrived. Grandpa is such a trooper. You can see all of his bandages from the hospital, but he went out and made Smores for all of the kids. We love you Grandpa!

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.
