Pre-Christmas Fun!

Let the games begin! What a fun weekend of Christmas celebrations with extended family! Friday night we lazed around home -- we needed to stock up energy for the days to follow. Saturday was a whirlwind trip to Lafayette for last minute supplies, baby formula and haircuts for the big kids. Jason was working and it was cold and rainy, so Keaton got some cuddle time with Aunt Jess and the girls. That evening, we kicked off the Christmas season with the Stockment Christmas at Grandma Pat's. I didn't get a lot of good pictures -- I tossed my camera to Jason and asked him to take some pictures...but when the kids started opening gifts, he handed me my phone back. So I was handling three kids, gifts, and picture duty. Well done, honey, well done. Here's what we did capture.

Em opening her new jammies!


Colton was excited to find new snowbibs -- "I needed these Mom, will these go down over my boots?"
Keaton got a new outfit along with an Elmer Fud/Cousin Eddie hat! :)

She couldn't wait to put on her new jammies...and hasn't taken them off since!

Sawyer and Em crashed to "pickle me" (Despicable Me) by the end of the evening!
Sunday was church, then off to the Robinson side. Another fun afternoon with family, and of course, a "cousins" photo to capture this stage of life.

When we got home, we could have all very easily crashed. Instead, we dove into a project to take "desserts" to Grandma Jacki & Grandpa Brad's on Christmas Day. The kids had a ball making them. I had a heck of a mess afterwards, but was a great time!



Finally, we tried to "de-chocolate-buzz" the kids...snuggle time with Daddy.
Three kids + a good picture = Impossible.

At least Daddy's got a great smile! :)

More fun to come -- hoping Santa finds you and yours...I know our gang is pretty excited to see him! :)

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...
