Heck Ya...

Life at our house is certainly not boring right now...
  • Colton fought me on Saturday night about getting off a toy and eating his supper, so I lifted him off the toy, and put him back at the dinner table. (Right before we left on our really, really, fun double date) and was crying as I left saying, "Mommy hurted me"...........but I assumed he was just being tired/dramatic, and off we went. Grandma Jacki reported when we got home, that his arm really must hurt, because he favored it/didn't use it all night. Yeah, Mom of the year. I felt AWFUL. After a Urgent Care visit on Sunday morning (where THANKFULLY he didn't tell the doctor that "mommy hurted me"...) we found out he had nursemaid's elbow. The doc twisted him right back into shape (and Colton didn't even cry!!) and off we went. Thank goodness it wasn't something more serious. 
  • Emmalyn is still fighting her cold, and I'm pretty sure she's getting teeth too. Let me tell you how that combination is working out for us............NOT WELL!!! Little stink is pretty particular that Momma holds her........................................all the time. This is not good for the shape of our house, nor for the laundry getting done...however, the snuggle time is nice...especially when she flashes one of those huge grins after a giant crying fit. 
  • Colton is totally repeating and listening more than we realize. A few examples:
    • He called his dad on the way to Pam's this morning:  "Hi Dad", "Hi Colton, what are you doing?" "Going at Pam's, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" (Perfect amount of sarcasm). "Gotta go Dad, bye"..............and he hung up. 
    • I've been enjoying the fact that Colton request "stuck like glue" when we get in the car, and that he sings along, "You me babe stuck ike goo"...
    • His Dad retaliated that by teaching him "Rockstar" by Nickelback. He can't sing it, but he now requests it in the car. 
    • Randomly, yesterday, he pipes up from the back seat..."smoke and drink dad....turn on smoke and drink"............................................which after some consideration, we decided is the new Eric Church (I think) song, "Smoke a little smoke, drink a little drink".................................................
    • At breakfast yesterday, she asked if he wanted sprite in his cup, and Colton replied, without a blink "heck ya..."...and he uses this phrase A LOT!!!
    • When Colton gets in trouble at Pam's, she said he almost ALWAYS will throw his hands out to the side, and say, "But, I'm just a guy"....
We have our hands full right now folks, but boy is it fun....

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...
