Update. Since it's been...a month!

Wednesday, 16 September 2009

Well, I'm gonna keep this short & sweet in the verbiage department, and probably quite long and obnoxious with the pictures. I think my jaw his the floor when I realized that State Fair was the last time I blogged, and honestly, that was some time ago! I apologize. Key points since State Fair --
  • We are loving this weather. 70's/80's during the days, 50/60 at night! It's perfect weather...a wonderful way to end the summer.
  • The last weekend of August we headed to Illinois with Seth & Jen, Jacob, Silas & John for the 1/2 Century of Progress Farm Show. Lots of tractors -- Colton was lovin' it! That, and the fact that we basically spent the whole day on a ranger ride....he didn't want to get out of it to come home!  We also got to see my cousin Kenzie from DC, and Uncle Marc and Aunt Denise. That was a long overdue visit!
  • September 2nd was a huge day -- Mom's Birthday celebration as well as Farm Progress Show. Jason, Dad, Jeff and Uncle Dave went together, and because I was working it, I got to crash there man day for a bit. It was fun, I am glad to be back in the Ag Industry for that reason.
  • Labor Day weekend was fairly low key. We traveled down to Trent & Lisa's, a trip we hadn't made since well before Grant was born, and he's 2 years old now! We had a cookout with Jason's family on Sunday evening, lunch with my brothers on Monday, and dinner with my parents Monday night. I also snuck in and took Tuesday off to clean up my house and enjoy myself!
  • This past weekend was Jason's 10 year Class reunion. What a great time --thankfully, his classmates are kind of cool, so it worked out. ha :) We had a blast, and got to return the favor of house crashing to Trent & Lisa, as they were our guests this weekend!
  • This coming weekend is a camping weekend. I'm sure we'll have stories to tell and pictures to share.
I love this time of year. If the weather never changed from this...I'd probably be okay with it. (That's a warning Mr. Winter.....I'm not a fan of you, but don't let my husband hear that, you're his favorite!)

We took a wade in Moots Creek back behind our house one evening. Colton, Regan & Mya stopped for a snack!

Big Bud -- the reason we drove 2 hours to Illinois to a farm show...
 
Dinner with Kenzie, Aunt Denise & Uncle Marc....Colton LOVED Kenzie....he kept crawling into her lap!
 
Colton & Grant Stinson at a park in Huntingburg.

We also took the boys to a splash park that afternoon --- they loved that!
 
Class of 99 Reunion -- Tailgate on Friday night at the Frontier vs. Tri-County Football game, and then cruise on the Madam Carroll on Saturday night.


A few fun weekends....now to camping, and harvest! My favorite time of year!

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...
