Pinterest Fail.

If you've heard of Pinterest, you know that it can be addicting. My favorite pin so far is the one that says, I wish I had the time and energy to actually do all of the things I pin. (If you haven't checked it out, and you have time to read this blog...then you should check it out. There really are some cool craft ideas/recipes/design styles, etc on there...) ANYWAY....it consistently inspires me to do something crafty.

Tonight was a crafty fail. I had the bright idea (at 7pm on my way home from getting groceries, last minute Valentine's day goodies), to have the kids use finger paint to make Jason a homemade valentine. Good idea, right? WRONG. Actually, half wrong. I suppose with a 4 year old and a 1 1/2 year old...my odds will always be 50/50 for something being successful. And honestly, they were doing so great with this craft. They really were.

Anyway...I left the room for literally 10 seconds....TEN SECONDS and this is what I returned to find.



And now, perhaps, you know why, our dear, dear beloved Emmalyn, is often referred to as...the Tazmanian Devil! ;)

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...
