Meet our newest additions!

Saturday we got to welcome home four beautiful black calves. Colton and I stayed up late Friday night in his bed arguing over names -- but I think we've come to a nice compromise. I wanted to name them after Purdue-ish things. He wanted to name them after the Falcons. When he quickly realized he only knows two Falcons, Jacob and Silas, the argument didn't last long. Meet Mackey, Pete, Silas & Jacob -- our newest additions!

Not only do I love having animals as part of our landscape, but I love the lessons that they teach my kids and the responsibility to care for them. I loved watching their curiosity this morning as Grandpa, Jason & Rossco helped to put them in the barn.

Grandpa is so excited to share his love of farm animals with the kids! We are so blessed to have these opportunities, and even more blessed to have parents who share in our love for farming and agriculture!


Colton has been so excited, and we are both excited to watch Colton take an active part in taking care of the calves this summer!

Loving all the action!

She was so curious!

Shout out to my hard working, dedicated husband. He gave up an entire Saturday in the rain to work to ensure that the calves would be well cared for, and safe within our pasture. Although, I have to say -- I question his decision to install an electric fence in the rain....

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...
