Princess for a Day

Typically, Emmalyn is my tom-boy. She loves a good dress, but also loves her carhart overalls, her cowgirl boots and hunting with Dad. The only princesses she knows are Elsa & Anna, and perhaps Cinderella, on a good day...though she's never watched the movie from start to finish.

 Earlier this winter, the photographer who did our family photos this summer, posted about doing a "Princess Day", complete with princess outfits, hair & make up....and of course, photos! Since our niece Madi (3 months older than Emmalyn) is dressed in princess wear pretty much 24/7, I thought it'd be a fun day for our little girls to spend together.

What a day it was. Madi did not stop grinning. Emmalyn loved wearing make up. They both looked ADORABLE as Elsa (of course they both had to be Elsa....IS there another princess right now!?!?). And to our surprise, they got to dress up as not only one princess, but two.  SO. MUCH. FUN. Even for Aunt Jess & I. Though, we didn't get our hair & make up done...or wear princess gear. Still fun to see our baby girls smiling and enjoying themselves.

These are some of our favorites from the day. 

Princess Elsa


Trying to blow stars off her hands into the camera....we for sure thought she'd have enough hot air...

Brown Eyed Girl


Cousins & Friends

My favorite.

Diva Attitude.

Another favorite.


We finally brought of George, and she started grinning that real ornery grin we know!
I'm not one to really promote the princess stuff for a young girl. I'm glad Em's an even mix of tom-boy and girly girl. I'm thankful we're not frilly & fluff all the time....but boy are days like this fun. I'm scared now to know what proms & formal dances will be like....because I'm pretty sure these pics made Daddy & Grandpa's a little weak in the knees!!

Thanks for the fun day Emmalyn. And thanks for completely melting my heart, when we left Aunt Jess's, and you said, "That was a really fun day Mom!"..............Love you sweet girl!

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...
