Thankful November

You know life is getting rough to keep up with one you have one post a month. Sorry. #notsorry. I want to keep this blog up, because I treasure it and I pray someday my children will to. But right now, life is moving at a pace faster than I can blog so bear with me. I'm trying....

November in a nutshell was basically some random outings, basketball, Thanksgiving, Keaton's first Thanksgiving Feast at Prek, and the preparation for Christmas....at the end of November.

So here we go.... November in pictures...

Keaton's first Prek Feast


Colton's team played at halftime of the Varsity Boys Basketball game in early January. While he was fun to watch on the varsity courts....Keaton was obsessed with Freddie Falcon! We topped the night with a quick drive through Lowery's Christmas lights in Reynolds.
Thanksgiving break was also packed with fun -- we got to see Wonder, which was a book the 4th graders had been reading. We of course took all the siblings, and had a great time. This movie is a wonderful message for the kids, and they all love it too! We added in some hunting (lots for daddy, some one on one for each of the kiddos), some tractors and videos about tractors, and of course, decorating for Christmas and it was a great break. Oh, and of course, LOTS of turkey. We visited the Hall's this year at Aunt Dee & Uncle Dan's, and my kiddos were the only great grands there -- so naturally, they were spoiled rotten! We also visited with Grandma Jacki and Grandpa Brad, as well as the Robinson's!




This bunch is a wild gang, but a fun group of siblings and friends. With Wings, Etc being so close to Faith, it was a quick spot for lunch between many basketball games!

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...
