Awesome Website

So, Lindsay, who I share an office with, recently shared a website with me. Remember, I love to be creative. I think scrapbooking is awesome. However, I do not have the time, not the resources to buy everything it takes to make an awesome scrapbook. Hence, this is my new favorite website. WWW.SCRAPBLOG.COM -- check it out. If you are a Mom, if you have friends (haha...of course you do...that sounded bad), if you love pictures, if you have traveled, whatever....this site is awesome. You can totally create awesome scrapbook pages, all online. And, you can print them off at Wal-Mart, for cheap, and they look great, because we tested it out!  (And you really don't even have to share it publicly. You can set the settings to keep it private, and oh yeah, ITS FREE!!). Lindsay and I have been doing about one a day, over our lunches, and then saving them as jpegs and setting them as our screensaver-- aren't we smart? Okay, Lindsay's the smart one, but she's a good teacher. It could possibly be my newest addiction. Just think, in no time, I could have an awesome scrapbook of my babies first year!!

In other news -- Luke & Karlie Mansfield had their baby. Baby Boy Isaac Todd arrived on Friday. He's precious. Now Colton will have another cousin (2nd cousin) to beat up on Meredith with him. After all, he's going to owe her a few poundings! HA :) At the very least, a few "head pats". We had a great weekend - Friday night we went to see Great Grandma Hall, with Grandpa & Grandma Hall. They even took us out for supper, which I figure was the least they could, after walking in to see Great Grandma with a greeting of "boy, he's a little fatty!". She meant well...that's what I'm telling myself! HA Saturday I helped work at the White County Fashion Revue, I joined the committee. I figure its my way of giving back, and I always enjoy seeing what the girls make. Aunt Stacy babysat Colton while Dad worked all day. She loved every minute of it, and spoiled him rotten! Saturday night was a Stockment get together at our place. It rained some, but we toughed it out, and enjoyed a nice evening by the fire. Sunday, we were pretty lazy all day, then a Hancock Family get together that evening. All in all, a fun/busy weekend.

Barack Obama was at Purdue today. Right next door actually. That was kind of cool. Secret Security were all over the place. I didn't get to brush elbows with him, but it was pretty cool to know he was right next door. You know, someone famous. We're getting ready to head out into the heat & humidity (not like it'd be much different outside than it is in our office today...HOT!), for an ice cream social celebrating the new Purdue President's 1 year anniversary. Hard to believe that's been a year ago already. Guess alot has happened in a year's time. This time last year, I was just starting to pack on the pounds. This year, I'm trying my hardest to drop those remaining pounds. That's why we're going outside for ice cream. Calories don't count when it's this hot out!!

Okay...better run. So, stop reading my blog, and go to scrapblog.com, and create something really awesome. Have a great day!

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...
