Long overdue post...

This one is mostly pictures folks. I've got a lot of updating to do -- we have had Easter, a weekend full of cookouts and a playdate with some long lost friends since my last post. Here are the pictures to prove what we've been up to -- and to say the least, it's been a ball. Colton is at such a fun stage right now -- constantly saying more and more, and he totally gets it, which I think is awesome. He knows how to help Mommy put the bath toys away, and if I tell him in the living room to put something "in the trash", he knows to go to the kitchen and finds the trash can. My kids smart...but hey, did you expect anything less? HA :) Enjoy!
Easter Sunday 2009-  okay, I indulged while in Indy for a few days...and bought this hat. I thought it'd be cute....I think I was right, Jason thinks I am way wrong...

His new Cubbies gear from Grandma & Grandpa Hall

Colton rocked the Easter Egg hunt at Aunt Dee & Uncle Dan's....even amongst the sea of Demerly Grandchildren, we still managed a few good eggs...

Quentin gets all photo props for this one...this is at the Robinson Easter - seriously, how precious is that? Didn't Picasso wear a hat like that?

Trent, Lisa & Grant Stinson came to visit while they were home Easter weekend and brought Trevor & Gracie Stinson with them... Grant was born in July, Colton in January...so they are about 6 months apart....

Colton has many girlfriends at this age....you know, most ever girl he is around....he was lovin' on Gracie....and yes, he hugs on demand now, it's awesome!
Cookout weekend was this past weekend....welcome to Indiana. The weather goes from 38 one evening to 70's and EVERYONE wants to get outside and get together! Friday night, we hung out with Jay & Heather, Jason's cousin & fiance who will marry in early June...the Biehl's happened to drop by, and Kara wanted a picture with the kids. I don't think they were as interested in a photo shoot as she was!

Saturday night was a cookout at Segals with Buschmans, Dahlenburgs, Wieses, Holderlys & Hendress's. It was a great time! Although, all Colton wanted to do was play in the car...ALL NIGHT LONG.
 
He even tried to take Mya on their first date....but she wasn't into it...you know, past her bedtime and well, after a guy shuts your leg in a car door, you're usually not interesed anymore...at least he had the manners to get the door for her! HA


In other great news -- STACY GOT ENGAGED!!!! Hooray! My best friend is going to chapel ladies & gentleman, and I couldn't be happier for her. The easter bunny was very, very generous because he also brought Nat a ring from her boyfriend! Two engagements of two great friends in 24 hours. God is Good, right girls? On top of all that excitement, Blair & Mario had their first baby last evening. HOORAY for them! Can't wait to meet baby Sophie! Last but not least, I found out today that my cousin Neil is expecting, well, not Neil, but he and his wife Andrea -- so CONGRATS to them! Isn't life great?

So, life for the Stockment's is hanging in there...keeping busy, and loving this weather. Anxious to get out and enjoy it. They're saying 80 by the weekend....I sure hope so, this pale skin needs some sunshine love! Hope you have a great week, and hopefully I'll post more soon! Keep praying for Joe, and his continued good health - he's got a beautiful daughter to walk down the aisle in a few months!

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...
