Funny? Or Cruel?


Thursday, 28 August 2008

Okay, this might classify me as a bad parent, but I couldn't resist. While freezing peaches last night, I could hear Colton wimpering from the sunroom....so when I went in to peak in on him....this is what I found.



Which, immediately made me think of this...


Okay, I know he looks like he is in pain, but honestly, he was fine -- he was just really cranky last night because he's got a bad constantly runny nose, a hoarse voice, and I'd say just all over doesn't feel good. Normally, I think I could have gotten a smile for this photo. Maybe there will be a repeat performance...who knows.

Did I mention too that he's trying to crawl? It's scary...I have to watch him that much more now. No more putting him in front of his barnyard to play, and getting things accomplished. The kid needs a pen to keep him in one location! He's ON THE MOVE!...I love a couple of things about how he's learning to crawl --First, the kid thinks his big toes are like the biggest levers he's got to propel him forward. When he scoots, he bury's his big toes down into the carpet, and propels himself forward....those big toes are amazing. Secondly, and I adore this -- in the first video, you'll see that he almost "hops" into his crawling stance. It's hilarious. We both laugh every time he does it, because well, it's just cute. He still knows that it's quicker to roll over to get somewhere, but he knows how to get himself into the crawling position, and is only a few short days away from truly being on the move. Right now, he's at that frustrating point where he knows he can do it, but just can't put two and two together.  Now he knows how his mother feels almost daily...haha   And the video to prove it -- remember, this was late at night, so sorry it's dark...


Happy Thursday!

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...
