Fall Fun

Fall is our favorite season, and though I like to fill all of our time with fun things to do, Fall is my most favorite!! We've been keeping busy too...

What would end of summer be without a Hall Family Fish Fry? Especially after the Wisconsin fishing trip, and other random trips to the pond? 
Frying anything they can get their hands on...

Group effort, all Cubs fans!


We spent Apple Popcorn Festival weekend camping at the Maxwell's....which, although we had GORGEOUS weather on Saturday, and a great festival, it poured all night Saturday night into Sunday morning. It was a sloppy mess, so Jenna got the bright idea to compound the sloppiness...the kids loved her idea! I'm not sure she still loved the idea the next morning, after taking her turn down the hill...

Colton & Wyatt...early in the afternoon...

Muddy Colton.

Thankfully, we survived Camp Maxwell without any facial bumps or bruises, so that we could look completely adorable for school picture day. You dressed yourself, and did your own hair, as well. I'd say, you're as handsome as your Dad!

Since it's been such a cool/wet late summer/fall....the farmers are getting into the fields a bit later. (Grandpa officially started yesterday....and the kids are beside themselves excited to go ride in the combine!!! Okay.....me too!!) So, since we had a nice afternoon, Grandma Mandy came down and we picked out pumpkins at Kent's Cucurbits! Always a fall favorite activity!
Our three cuties!

He did not stop moving the entire time we were there!

Almost had a super cute incognito picture...but they caught me.
Fall is just getting started. I'm anxious to try to take some cute pics of the kids with the fall colors, in the fields, and in giant leaf piles!! Bring on the sweatshirts & bonfires!!

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...
