Whirlwind Weekend!

What a great weekend! First of all, the weather was amazing...I'm officially ready for the snow to go away, and the warmer spring air to make it's official arrival, and stay. I have a feeling though, there's more snow to come before we get to keep the warmer weather!
Friday night, we went up to Grandpa & Grandma Stockment's for a visit - we got carryout fish dinners from the Church Fish Fry and had a nice visit, and meal. The fish was great. Saturday Jason vowed to give us the whole weekend...I made him promise to not talk about hunting, but of course that lasted until maybe 9:30am on Saturday! HA We worked around the house cleaning up, then loaded up Colton and headed  to Lafayette to run a few errands. We decided to get some 1 month pictures taken at Penney's. Although it took all afternoon, Colton did great, and we got some neat shots! I was happy with the way they turned out. Jason was disappointed, because he said his eyes are closed in all of them...but I had to remind him he's an infant, and he sleeps alot. We should be thankful that he wasn't screaming through the whole shoot. Saturday night, Blair & Mario and Randy & Karen came for a visit. We had a great time catching up...it'd been way to long since we'd seen them! Colton was kind of cranky, I think we'd wore him out during the day, but once we finally got him down for bed, we had a nice visit!
Sunday, we went to church. This always tends to make Jason nervous -- he doesn't want him screaming in mass. I understand, but on the other hand...he's a baby, they cry...it's normal. He did real well, and when he got fussy, we got him his bottle, and that hit the spot. Our only flaw, and it turned out to be a pretty funny one, was that he completely filled his pants late in the service. Now, when Colton fills his pants, it's not a dainty little poop...it sounds like an exploding fart, that you're not sure how it stays contained in his diaper. We both had to just smile, and try to keep ourselves from laughing. The funny part...we were sitting with Stacy, and she happened to be holding him during the blowout. I think people 3 pews either way heard it, but luckily, they thought it was cute. After church, we headed to Indy to get a few last registry items picked up from Babies'R'Us, then to John and Jessica's for a visit. Jessica had gotten Colton and Meredith matching pj's...and we wanted to do a photoshoot with them. The pictures below are what we came up with, and if you'll note, the progression of "pissed-offedness" that Colton gets when Meredith, the playful/funloving cousin, goes one step too far! She means well...afterall, she's 8 months, and he's 1 month -- she was just checking him out. This is the series in which they occured too...

I think the best picture out of all of these...is the last one -- Meredith totally has that "WHATEVER KID...you are no fun!" look on her face! More captions to come later..Jason had some great ones.
Well...lunch calls, so I better get things around while he's content!

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Two + Two + One more = FIVE

Yup, you read that right, by the end of July, the Stockment's will officially be a family of five. Jason and I learned in mid-November that we were expecting our third child and we were both overjoyed with the news. (More so than I thought Jason would be -- he wasn't convinced on having another (or should I say, not as convinced as I was), but once he saw that baby's heartbeating on the monitor at the docs office, he couldn't keep it a secret anymore!!) I convinced Jason to keep our news to immediate family, however, failed to remember that we have a VERY chatty 4 year old, and a 2 year old who repeats everything her big bro says! :) So, we told our families on a Tuesday evening (after our doc appointment that afternoon) and by Thursday, I think half of White County knew. If you attend or drop children off to attend Pam's daycare or Bright Beginnings Preschool, you were amongst the first to know! I had hoped for some elaborate scheme to tell both of our parents ...

Life's Beachy

What a whirlwind month March has been! From the baby reveal to birthday parties (Madi turning 3, Sawyer turning 2 and soon Brad & Debbie!), to Jason working weekend after weekend at his side job, to moving Matt & Sarah into their new home, to Jason getting a new job, to kindergarten round up, to preparing for Florida....whew! Yup, you read that right -- after 14 years with Bouma Betten, Jason is making a jump. He applied for a job with Monsanto in Remington, and was lucky enough to be offered the job just last week. I am so beyond proud of him -- he's not a resume/interview kind of guy, but he put his best foot forward and proved what a hard worker he is. He'll start there as a Seed Tech in mid-April and although it will mean big changes for him (and US!), it will be worth it. The benefits cannot be topped...vacation time, paid time off for sick leave, 401K, health -- all things he didn't have (or did have, but not great) in his current job. It will certainly be a...
