Easter 2015

What a fun time we had this past weekend!! I took a long weekend from work as Friday/Good Friday was my birthday. Come to find out, the kiddos had Friday/Monday off too-- but they were good sports and played with their friends at Pam's all day Friday while Momma and I took to the mall. It's been a GOOD. LONG. TIME. since she and I spent a solid 8 hours shopping, and it was FABULOUS!! I got several new outfits for myself, as well as attire for the whole family for Easter, and I didn't break the bank! Great sales, great memories, great Mom!! We capped off a perfect Birthday date with dinner at Oakdale with Dad, Jason and the kiddos!

Saturday we piddled around home, then made a few last minute Easter outfit returns in Lafayette (me and the kids, while Jason worked)...then home to prep for the Stockment Easter party!










Sunday was up early to see if the Easter Bunny came by our house, then church, then Hall Easter, then off to Aunt Dee's for the BIG Hall Easter!! It was a GORGEOUS day to be outside....we had a wonderful time!
































You can see our attempt at a pretty Easter morning family picture was ....well....a failure! :( FUN weekend!! Thanks to all who helped make our kiddos day so special! How blessed we are!!

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...
