Weekend of Fun

We wrapped up the first week of school with flying colors. Both kids are LOVING their teachers, loving their classrooms and I'm thrilled with their enthusiasm for school!! I am so proud of them both for what they are learning, what they are doing, and how quickly they are growing and changing. Okay, I'm not thrilled with them growing and changing...time could slow down a bit, but it is so fun watching their little minds grow!
Successful first day of Pre-K!

So excited to greet Colton off the bus!

I forgot to get a "group" picture on the first day! So, a first week group picture will do!


We ended the first week of school with an on-the-go weekend. I helped man a 7 family garage sale at my Aunt Nina's all day Friday & Saturday. We spent Thursday evening at Aunt Nina's setting up, and on the drive home, Em & I got caught up in the rain. Like, a LOT of rain.

We had to come inside, during this monsoon!
Thankfully, all the garage sale stuff we had set out, stayed covered and was unharmed.


We had a great crowd and sold a ton!! And of course, I loved sitting chatting with Aunt Nina for two days straight. Nothing is better for your heart than a good laugh and visit with Aunt Nina!!

Saturday evening we left the kids with Aunt Debbie (and actually, most of the Stockment Great Grandkids, Grandma Pat, Grandma Margie and Grandma & Grandpa Stockment) while we went out to Top Notch for Seth's birthday! We had a great evening!

Sunday is family day in our house, and we really enjoyed this past Sunday. Church, Sunday School, brunch at Camille's, naps, and then FINALLY it was blazing hot enough to head down the road to Prophetstown State Park to the new water park they have. The kids LOVED IT and it was the perfect remedy to a warm afternoon!
Life is good.

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

Covid ... the end. (Hopefully. Maybe. I really don't know....)

 Almost two years ago, exactly, our world drastically changed. Everyone holed up at home, scared to enter the world and catch Covid 19/Corona Virus. (Except Jason, once he got to feeling better from most likely having Covid before it was a known thing, he just went to work everyday like nothing had changed). The world basically shut down  -- special hours, curbside pick up encouraged, no dining room service only drive through or carryout. If someone coughed or sneezed anywhere near you, you were instantly suspicious. Our parents lived on complete edge and worry, taking in every ounce of information the news was constantly throwing in their faces. It was a time of great uncertainty, lots of information being thrown at us from trusted news sources, social media, and hearsay from those in the medical profession.  We spent March to May just trying to figure out our new life. No baseball. No softball. Lots of time with our animals. Lots of crafts. School from home. Porch drop ...

Central Indiana Winter Spectacular

 We kicked off show season with this set of calves in mid-January at the Central Indiana Winter Spectacular, a first time show down in Cloverdale, Indiana. I'm not sure what was more fun - being with our kids and friends at a cattle show, or listening to our kids meddle over the thought of staying in a Motel 6.  (Backstory on this one -- when I worked at Purdue/in the Conference division, I held a few conference at The Hyatt in downtown Indianapolis. When I had events there, I'd earn points. We then would use those points for free night stays....I think I had maybe 15 or so over the years. So, the only hotel my kids know, is a Hyatt, because unbeknownst to them, it was FREE.....which is the ONLY reason we stayed in such a nice place with young kids. So, imagine their dismay when the Motel 6 in Cloverdale didn't have an Eagles Nest rotating up top, or an indoor pool and hot tub/workout area. We have officially raised hotel snobs.....because when we finally took them to the k...
