Happy Easter

We had a weekend full of family, fun and rejoicing! I took Friday/Monday off to enjoy some time with my kids....and of course, it rains! Friday Em went to Pam's for the day (she was up at 4:45am, or I would have tried taking her with us), but Colton and I went to Story Hour at the library for the first time. He did so well. Thankfully, a few kids he knows from Pam's were there, so he felt right at home. They read a couple of stories, then colored Easter eggs. From there, we went to Wolcott where Colton got to spend some time with Paps, Uncle Trent and Jeff, while Mom, Sarah and I met Grandma Hancock for lunch at the Homestead. It was wonderful. I'd not been there before and we had a nice visit.

Saturday we cleaned all day, then celebrated Easter with the Stockment side at Grandma Pat's. Here are a few pictures of that.


Emmalyn's First Easter Egg hunt...in a mini skirt! :)

She loved the glo necklaces.

Finding Eggs!

Sunday, we got up and went to church, where we met up with my parents and Trent. We all came back to our house to hang out before the Hall Gathering at Aunt Dee's. I absolutely LOVE Hall get together's. Everytime we leave those holiday's, I come home with a renewed vision of having a BIG family. Jason....not so much! :) He usually just ends up with a sore muscle or two, and we both get rewarded wtih two exhausted children. Colton and Em both fell asleep on teh way home about 5:30 (neither napped at all...all day) and Colton I woke up for a brief moment at 7:45pm to change into his jammies....and off to bed he went. He didn't wake up until 6:45am. That's over 12 hours of sleep!!! Em didn't fare quite as well, but she's taking a nice big nap today! Here are the pictures to show what a great time we had.





Checking out her eggs at Aunt Dee's!

You know you have a big family when you have enough kids present at Easter to play "Heads Up, 7-Up"

Egg hunt time! How I got a picture of him alone with no other kids around, is beyond me!

Hall GREAT Grandkids...post egg hunt. They are spoiled rotten by their Great Aunt Dee and Uncle Dan!

Not only do they get eggs filled with loot, they get huge goody bags too....no, this isn't a Christmas picture!

Em chillin in her stroller!

Uncle Dan took the kids on a hayride...they loved it!

Then of course, we had to DRIVE the tractor!

Em's new shades!

Three going on 20, 30 or 40....all of which are represented here... :)

Emmalyn's new favorite place to chill out...
All in all, it was a BLESSED Easter.

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...
