Keaton

I'm WAY behind in posting...and there's a REALLY good reason why. I'll get to that fun in another post. However, while some things are fresh on my mind, I jump on here to jot them down.

Keaton has been a spitfire from day one. Our smallest baby. Our loviest baby. Our wild one. Pure joy mixed with a whole lot of frustration.

Everytime I see Miss Charlene, the prek teacher who drives Keaton's bus, she always tells me how funny he is and that he tells her the most hilarious stories. This simultaneously makes me smile and cringe...........lord knows what comes out of that kids mouth.

On Tuesday, Pam said she helped load the kids on the bus, as she always does....and after all were buckled and she was stepping down off hte bus, she hears Keaton - frantically and loudly yelling, "PAM! Pammy! PAM!!!!!"....she climbs back on, "What Keaton?"...."I love you!"  HEART EXPLOSION. (For both of us!)

Wednesday, the story was definite 4 year old perspective. Jason's been working a lot of overtime lately, as several McDonald's in the area are getting renno's and new ceilings. What kid doesn't think their dad is a rockstar for working at McDonalds. Well, this proud little guy told his teachers that his Dad works at McDonald.s Miss Charlene, knowing our family well enough to know that probably wasn't Dad's real job, questioned him, but he was insistent. He was quite proud of his Dad working those McDonald's jobs....and at night no less!

Thursday evening, I had BINGO with the Mom, Stef, Sarah, Ashley and Stef's Mom Gena. The kids stayed home with Dad, though, I didn't realize Dad had made plans for someone to come AI Rosie, our Momma cow. Fresh Momma cow, no doubt, to Baby Bella Blue. I get a text just as I arrive at Bingo from Jason. It read: "Oh my God. Keaton. "Dad, Bella Blue was licking on Rosie's Wiener".....a.) those are udders and she's drinking milk and b.) please don't laugh to encourage him! HA We were actually both shocked that he didn't already realize those are udders....but whatever. He knows now!!

Friday morning -- I got this picture from Pam. I guess our little ham is quite studious too! 💘💘

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...
