All Star Baseball

After closing out a successful regular season, Colton was asked to play on the 2015 Frontier Pinto All-Star team! What an honor for him, and what fun to extend his season! It's a great bunch of kids, and he's really enjoying it!

After two weeks of practicing hard and learning all kinds of different positions, the kids kicked off their first tourney last night with a double header. The first game was awesome -- all the kids had great hits, made great defensive plays and just gelled really well together as a team. They beat a West Side team 17-2. Great way to kick off the tourney.

I think the sticky heat & long evening got to them in game two -- as they faced a tough, fresh East Tipp team. Still had some great hits, and played well, but eventually lost to ET.

More than the baseball, I've truly enjoyed watching these boys interact, cheer for one another and become best of friends. These are where memories are made for a lifetime, and I'm beyond thankful God has placed us in a great small town, with wonderful families to help us raise our kids. It's truly a village of wonderful people, and we are loving every minute!

GO FALCONS! (This is getting easier for me....now to find myself some Red & Black gear...)





I can't wait to pull this last one out to use for High School graduation. So proud of these young kids and their kind hearts & great sportsmanship! Play hard, Red!

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...
