2nd Grade Program & K Field Trip

Colton had his 2nd Grade/Grandparents Day Program back in September, and I just realized I never took a minute to sneak pictures onto the blog. He did a GREAT job. He was excited to play a special part, the fisherman, and he knew I'd love it because it was a Dr. Seuss theme. He's right. I loved it. Even if he only half did the motions, because he was being too school for cool. Or maybe he had to go to the bathroom...because not 5 minutes AFTER this program, he was peeing in a Mountain Dew can in my van. In the parking lot of Lickety Split. With his Dad's permission. "I feel his pain", Jason said. "We are two minutes from our driveway"...I responded! Making memories, right?

Regardless, I got a few cute pictures from the program. Our little guy did a great job, and is was Seussically amusing!



Speaking of school events, Miss Em went on her first official Kindergarten field trip this month also.
On October 21st, the Kindergarten classes loaded up on the bus and headed out for Exploration Acres. You could not even believe the wonderful weather (read: Indian Summer) we've been having this year. I can't recall EVER going to a pumpkin patch with Colton, because the weather always ruined our trips. Not this year. Mrs. Layton, Karlie and I met our girls at the front gate, and we took a wagon ride, picked out pumpkins, and played in the play area. We ate our sacked lunches, took a group picture, and then loaded the busses back up for home. It was during the week of fall break, so the kids only had a half day of school. It was the perfect amount of fun (and whiny 5 year olds...). I was fairly lucky though -- 2 out of my 3 girls were blood relation, and oh so sweet!


I love that I'm able to be a part of the kids classrooms at different times. I love meeting their friends and watching them interact. Special times these are....they are growing way too fast!

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...
