Purdue Game Drama & Cuteness.


As a recent (okay, well, not so recent, but I tell myself that) Purdue Alum, I really enjoy going to Purdue sporting events. And, given the fact that Purdue Men's Basketball is ACTUALLY doing well again (unlike the football team who can win the clutch games but not the easy ones), I really enjoy heading to Mackey to enjoy a nice night of basketball. My favorite trips are daddy date nights, where Dad and I enjoy the game and then usually a quick sandwich and drink afterwards. Nothing beats those nights. My second favorite date would be my husband, although, getting him to go to these games is like pulling teeth. He's pretty good at coming up with an excuse.

Take this last Friday for example. Mom called, and offered us their tickets, as they were going to see Gram. Knowing it was the night before "opening day", I figured I was pushing my luck, but Jason agreed to go, and said he'd be in to clean up AFTER he went out and cut down a few branches. One frantic phone call, and a trip to the ER later.....we didn't make it to the Purdue game.

Jason fell while cutting branches, and was afraid he'd done some good damage to his eye. Luckily, there was no damage (Thank GOD) and it just ended up looking worse than it was. So, we swapped out a night of Purdue Hoops for a visit with Gram Hall and my parents, which ended up being 100% worth it. But the next time they offer us tickets.....I might be asking this guy to be my date.....at least I know we'd both be cheering for the same team.... 


And, because he's so darn cute (we think so anyway....) - here are a few more recent pictures!
Not only does he talk alot -- but he sweeps for Mommy....with only one sock on.

AND....he's a poser. This is the look I get when he knows he's in trouble.....NOW I know why parenting and being strict can be so hard....


Lastly....I don't think I've blogged in so long, that I've probably not announced that we're expecting Baby Number 2 in June. You know.....the month where we already have 3 family birthdays and the month chosen by my youngest brother and his girlfriend to GET MARRIED. It's okay though, we're due June 6, and they don't get married until the 19th, and since all babies come on time or early, it shouldn't be a problem.....right? Beyond that, I'm sure I'll be back down to a beautiful weight in those two weeks to knock out a killer bridesmaid dress. THANK GOD it's all about the BRIDE that day.....yikes! Can't wait for next June....will be such an exciting month.

In the mean time -- send up those prayers for Joe & Gram Hall. Things have been very up and down lately with both of them, and God couldn't have put two more amazing people into my life. I'm thankful for both of them, all the memories we've shared, and the smiles we still can. Joe, thanks for the best best friend a girl could ask for. And three sisters to borrow anytime I want a break from my brothers. Gram, thanks for teaching me what true love is, and what a caring heart can do to change the lives of those around you. Oh, and the recipes & cooking lessons too...I give you all the credit for that part of my life! ;) Love you!

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...
