Keaton - 5 is Fun

Keaton is cracking us up lately ...there are so many "isms" I could share, but here are a few off the top of my head....

Over Christmas break, you spent some time chilling watching TV, and I didn't think it was that much or too much screen time. Either I need to rethink that thought, or you just paid SUPER close attention, but you couldn't stop talking about SC Johnson -- and there were several times a commercial would come on and you couldn't wait to catch me and prove to me that SC Johnson was a thing.

There was the night we were reading books and you stopped me, "Hey, Mom, um, who's the author?"....hmm....I didn't teach you that, but cute....so I answered who the author was. And started to read again. You interrupted again ... "Mom, wait, who's the draw...the illustrator?"....my jaw dropped. You just grinned so proud of yourself for remembering these things from school.

Last night, you were to be in bed, and you came back down with excuse galore as to why you didn't want to go to bed...."First of all, I don't like my bed, second, I don't like bedtime and......................................and third, I have bad dreams"..............we were too busy laughing at your grown up reasoning that we didn't really even hear your reasons. And FYI -- you still got put to bed at your bedtime.

The last thing -- the one I cannot stop giggling at. We know in school you're learning about 911, safety, your address, etc. So yesterday, on our way to Pam's....you proclaimed that you were watching the news getting ready (hi, 5 year old, how about some cartoons) and "Mom, did you know, that if you're in an wreck with a semi, you're suppose to call 1-888............." and I piped up, "The Hammer? No, The Hammer will not save you. You call 911 ... no matter what you wreck into. The Hammer just wants to help you as a lawyer to get the other person in trouble"............you were as serious as they come and it was adorable. Hammer, great ads....he's listening.

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...
