Some mornings are just....Epic.



Some days, are just epic. Like today. We should be all sunshine & smiles today, as its the last day of school and Colton's graduating Kindergarten and let's just hold hands and frolic through the soft summer grass.....right? WRONG.

So. Apparently, I’m the worst Mom in the world, because I wouldn’t let Colton wear tall black socks 
today with his kahki shorts & polo shirt for Kindergarten Graduation. In fact, I was quite ridiculous thinking he should wear his cute summer church shoes (the canvas like ones), because…

1.)    They are too big. "When I run, they don’t even stay on … see?!" (While showing me and sobbing, simultaneously….insert BIG dramatics here, to make sure that the shoe not only comes off, but flies across the room while running)

2.)    "They give me rashes, right here. They are way too big mom. You don’t even care!!"

3.)    I never, NEVER let him do anything he wants. I don’t care about him and I never let him do anything fun. (News to me, I thought he had a good time when we went bowling, hiking, skating, to the park, on vacation, on a walk in the woods, to the creek, etc, etc, etc….)

4.)    "Mom, if I wear these shoes, I won’t even be able to play kickball at my last recess."
  I replied - "So take them off."

 "I can’t. I can’t take my shoes off. What if we have an emergency fire drill and I don’t have shoes on?!?!"

THESE ARE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES……

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...
