My little Punkin's

I absolutely love this time of year...fall colors changing, the smell of harvest, tractor/combine rides with Dad and Trent...really, nothing tops this time of year. I love all the color, wearing hoodies, drinking hot apple cider and watching football on the weekends. Unfortunately, so far, it's been almost 80 degrees....which typically would be great, except, I'm READY for fall weather. 60/70's please!!!!

We took advantage of Jason's birthday and the great weather and had a fun family outing to Millennium Farms in Benton County. They've got all kinds of fun things for the kids to do, and for $5 per person, you get to take a hayride out to the pumpkin patch and pick any one you'd like. Colton LOVED it. Emmalyn, she was probably less than thrilled, but mostly because she was so sweaty and hot. It was probably 85 degrees while we were there -- but that didn't stop my camera from working. We got some great pictures.
Colton kept asking Jason, "How do we get out Daddy?"
You could imagine, he was tickled to see the end of the maze!

He loved this part...

Back to Brookston to get more Pumpkins with Mamps

Cutest Punkin's there!

"Here, Mamps, it's heavy..."

Love this one...Mamps & Colton

Poor thing...it was a long day in the heat...

He wanted to sit on this huge pumpkin!

Thank God he didn't drop her.... :)

What a great way to wrap up a fun weekend! Hope you had a memorable 30th Birthday Jason -- we love you!! (Don't worry, the adults only 30th birthday celebration comes later in the month....Dress Up Halloween Party anyone?? :) )

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...
