Fall break 2015

We seem to have started a new Fall Break tradition of heading down to Velpen and Stinson's. It's a great opportunity for Jason to hunt with his BFF from high school, I get to hang with said BFF's AMAZING wife, and the kids play well together. It's a great little retreat, but always goes WAY too fast! Here are a few photo highlights of the fun we had....

Oh, first of all...I've been trying to figure out this rash I've had. Remember I mentioned Jason and I starting a new high fat/low carb diet. Ya....I think we found out I'm allergic to coconut oil (or that my body doesn't like to ingest too much of it at once)...so I'd break out. Well, when it wouldn't go away, I went to urgent care. They first told me I had impitigo and I felt dirty. Then the test results came back, and apparently I had MRSA. EVEN. DIRTIER. Ugh....alas. So I was on an antibiotic and prednisone and I finally started to clear up and was feeling LESS like a leper............until we arrived in Stinsonville.
They're lucky I have a good sense of humor! HA :)
Keaton got some shooting lessons from the local game warden.


 The kids had a ball playing together...it was gorgeous Indian Summer weather!
 I got to see this chick....in her new "neck of the woods"...that made my heart happy.
 This made my heart MELT. Dad of the year! :)
 Then he got weird on the car ride home. What? Doesn't everyone lay on the "bench" while pumping gas and make a phone call?
 When we got home, Jason went hunting, and the kids hunted in the yard.....I'm afraid they've all been bit by the camo bug!
 And this one...ya, we're still mid-potty training that little tooshy! :) I know someday you'll hate me for this Keaton, but seriously...how do you NOT take a picture of that cuteness?

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...
