Christmas Post 2

Christmas morning at our house was only a start to a fun-filled day!! We cleaned up, cranked up the Kenny & Dolly, and headed to Chalmers for Christmas with the Stockment family!! So much fun watching all the cousins play together, talk about what Santa brought them, and just enjoy the general excitement of the holiday!!
Little girls all ready for Christmas Brunch!

Crazy Santa's!

Big Kid Santas!
There are kids in there. Somewhere. Amongst the gifts!

Madi is so expressive! Elsa doll delight!

Colton is all ready for baseball season!

Jason checking out what hunting Jacob got that he could possible steal...I mean borrow.

What kid doesn't try on (immediately) everything they get for Christmas?
We surprised Grandma & Grandpa with a photshoot of all the grands. I think they liked it...

I love these "so in love" pictures....
You know we did well when they both tear up! SUCCESS!
Snuggles from Grandpa!

I got a new lens for my camera, and we had a good time playing with it's incredible close up features...



Love this sweet little bugger!

Sweet Madi (age 4)

Meredith Ann (Age 7)

Blue eyes!
After a full fun day with the Stockment's, we loaded up for one last stop to see Great Grandma Hancock and the rest of the Hancock Clan!! Always a fun way to wind down on Christmas day....and further wear the kids out!
New Jammies from Great Grandma!

Harry was about over Christmas by this point....tired kiddo!

Grandma Hancock!

Surprise Tim!!

He's learning to wear the Black & Gold....with his candystrip pants!

Dad got Grandma hearing adds from the "as seen on TV" section. And they worked better than her real ones.

Lovin's for Great Grandma!

Trying to get these two to sit still/smile is next to impossible.

Grandma's trying REALLY hard ...
Harry wasn't buying it....
We spent Friday evening with the Robinson Side of the family, though I don't have any good pictures from that evening! Another house full of kids, counter tops covered with food, and fun with family!  We rounded out the Christmas adventure on Saturday evening with the Stockment side of the family. More kids. More food. More gifts. More fun. I did catch a few pics with my big camera here...
Sawyer loves Colton. The feeling is pretty mutual.

And by love I mean, love to wrestle....

1st grade buddies!

Sleepy, thristy Keaton...

The girls taking advantage of Silas & Brynleigh's lovins!

Babies were hot. They got stripped down. It went redneck Christmas in a hurry...

Boiler Up!!

This was next to impossible, but provided some good laughs!

BOILER UP!!

Such an adorable gift idea!!

Merry Christmas from our sweet family to yours -- we are so grateful to have so many who love us, shower us with love, and with whom we can return the favor!! I love this time of year!!

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...
