Emmalyn's TWO!

As with everything Emmalyn, her second birthday was truly an adventure! We kicked off her birthday weekend by going to the doctor because I was just SURE she had an ear infection. She, of course, checked out fine and we were sent on our way. Grandma & Grandpa Stockment came down to help Dad in the barn, so Em and I grabbed Take and Bake pizzas for a 2nd birthday pre-celebration!

Windbags thought he could help better! :))
 Em played fine all evening, but woke up Saturday to some vomit in her bed and a grouchy, runny diaper little girl. We got her cleaned up and she feel back to sleep. After a little rest, she was running around playing, which is the hard part about toddlers....are they really sick, or did something just strike them? Do we keep the party going or cancel the party? After two good naps, and some time playing outside, and none of the rest of us feeling badly, we decided to proceed to party. Everyone was to arrive at 5:30pm. At promptly 5:28pm, Emmalyn puked all over me as we waited for her guests to arrive! PARTY OVER. Unfortunately (for us) we sent my parents back home. Fortunately (for them) Dad bought Top Notch for my Mom, brothers and Grandma! :) Being the sweetheart that he is, Jason bought Taco Bell for Colton and I! :) We put Em down for a nap (again) and Colton, Jason and I ate Taco Bell and watched some redbox movies.
Sick little birthday girl.

Snuggle time is perfectly fine with this Momma!

By Sunday, Em was a whole new girl. We went to church, ran errands, at lunch out (and yes, she actually ate) so we rescheduled the party for 4pm Sunday.  Grandparents, Aunts & Uncles joined us for a hot dog bar, cake & ice cream as well as a beautiful evening out on the patio!

Happy 2nd Birthday, sweet Emmalyn. You're a beautiful little girl with a bright shining personality!
We love you, Em!

PS. None of the rest of us ever ended up getting sick. We have no idea what caused that little bout, but are sure glad she didn't share it! :)

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...
