Interview with Colton

So, I spent an ample amount of time on pinterest last week and stumbled upon this cute idea to interview your kids every 6 months or so, to see how their answers change. It's a great way to log a moment in time and capture what's important to them at the time. I borrowed the idea from this cute little blog, which I stumbled upon via pinterest: Kid Interviews. So...here's my go at my first interview with Colton. I'll be chatting with Em tonight, and hoping to have a few answers from her tomorrow! :)

My name is: "Colton"

I am "4" years old.

The yummiest food to eat is: "Oranges. And eggs & sausage...that's what we had for breakfast, right Mom?"

My favorite show to watch is: "Oso. And Hunting with my Dad"

I love when I get to read: "The Balloon Farm" Harvey Potter's Balloon Farm

The best thing about school is: "Playing with my friends"

The worst thing about school is: "Coloring."

The coolest person on earth is: "Aiden Owens"

I am really super good at: "Hunting. Did you know I was going to say that, Mom?"

My favorite color is: "Green. And Orange"

The best place in the world to be is: "Alavama" *yes, he pronounces it with a V*

When I grow up, I want to: "work with my dad"

If I could do one thing all day long it would be: "Hunting".

I really, really do not like to eat: "Green beans. Only the beans, not the green"

My best friend is: "Kendall. And Aiden Owens"

Jesus is: "My favorite"

When I was little I used to: "My mom used to hold me, but mom still holds me but I break her back"

3 words that tell about me: "Funny, mean, sassy" (note that used sassy as a word to help him learn what adjectives were...I'm not sure he would have used sassy otherwise!)

This year I hope to learn: "how to go deer hunting"

Some other things we've heard lately:

"Aunt Marsha -- my Mom is getting mad at you because you won't let us pay for anything"...

"um, my dad, um he comes home and takes off his boots and puts them away and then takes off his clothes and goes in on the couch and turns it to hunting" -- he told Stacy this while they stayed with her and Clay on Jason's birthday. 


“I don’t even ask, I just get up there and do his job.” (referring to helping grandpa Brad at the Elevator) - again, to Stacy...he's just full of information.

Our little gymnasts...don't mind sissy -- we're still working on her "lady-like-ness"...HAHA

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...
