Bees, Bees, Bees!

Have you ever seen the Bee Movie? Well bees in real life aren't nearly as sweet as the ones in the movie. :) Alex was at work, which requires him to spend the majority of his time outside. As he was approaching one side of the house, a bee-obviously in a panic-came flying out of the side and stung him, right on top of his hand. Now Alex has been stung before, and sometimes it would swell up for a bit, but never anything serious. This time is was different. That night when he got home, his arm was huge!! (See pics).

He went to the doctor and he has a pretty bad infection. Poor baby :(. Thanks for working hard for our family!

Thanking my lucky Stars & Stripes...

Family, fairs, and food= 4th of July for the Hubbards! Each year, I look forward to this weekend. We love to go to breakfast with family, pick up some phenomenal BBQ at the local fair, (sneak in some Cotton Candy), and watch the fireworks show. My favorite kind of firework is the glittery, golden, poinsetta that sparkles like a hundred cameras are flashing at the same time. It's always a bit stressful finding parking, as usual, but once we set up the lawn chairs, grabbed our sunflower seeds and diet cokes, we love to sit back and watch the sky light up.
Our two nieces are such a blast to watch and be around. We love to take them swimming and cook out in the backyard. Our oldest neice has just learned to swim on her own and it's so exciting to see her growing up so fast.
We just want to say thank-you to all of the men & women who are fighting for our country each and every day. Thank you for making our country a safe place to live.

We love you all & happy 4th of July!
