September 2016 Fun

September has flown by and now it's October. It's always a blur to look back on this month because we are all so busy. School is in full swing and the kids are busy with sports and school activities. Wiggy began piano lessons again and Tubbs  had to pass. Wiggy loves playing, so I am glad she is sticking with it. She takes lessons on Monday afternoons with a friend from church.
 Labor Day weekend yard work.
The kids were using this large drill to aerate the lawn.
 We put out flags early Labor Day morning and I took the boys to pick them up around 7pm. We were in the rental car, so the long tube slid through from the trunk of the car up to the dash. The boys collected six of the flags and on our last yard they struggled with getting the last flag into the tube. I wasn't paying attention and was supposed to be holding the end of the tube, which was resting on the dash. The boys shoved the flag in real hard and next thing I knew, the tube hit the window and cracked it----real good. Not a good moment.
 Tubbs and his friends after school, checking out the new IPhone 7 online.

 He likes to play on his phone when brushing his teeth before seminary. :)

 Friday morning before school. 
I picked up Bubba from seminary at 7am and he came back to the house for a few minutes before heading to school. He had an away game that afternoon in Atascadero and Tubbs thought he was going to get to go watch. I told him he wasn't able to go and had to stay at school, since the game starts at 3pm.
 Luke took both the boys out to the shooting range near the BV Lake to shoot clay birds. Bubba loved it! Tubbs...not so much. He isn't a fan of going anywhere dirty.
 Wiggy somehow talks dad into money for shaved ice every football game.
 Before and After....

 Football season has started and this is what Sunday afternoons look like.....

 Lunches I pack for Bubba. He says he "needs" two turkey sandwiches.

 Helped in Wiggy's classroom and then sat with her and friends for lunch.

 Saturday movie date for Luke and Wiggy. They went to see the Storks movie.
 Cut and highlighted my hair. This little girl didn't even notice until I said something to her about it.
 Wiggy went to the KC Fair with her friend Maya. She was so excited---this girl loves the fair. Me...not soo much.

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.
