Valentines Day 2019

Valentines day isn't usually a holiday we celebrate too heavily. A fun little family dinner, maybe some cards and candy....nothing too exciting or over the top, but a small sign of our love for each other. This year I wanted to make it a true family night, and just have fun as a family. We get to caught up in the go, go, go of life and I wanted to slow things down.

So, I looked on pinterest for some fun minute to win it games for my little competitors, made a quick stop at the Dollar Tree for supplies and prizes and home we went. Jason promised to cook a steak dinner, and I'd manage games.

We started off with a scavenger hunt!
Then sat down to dinner -- complete with grape juice in wine glasses for the kiddos. (Real wine for Mom. Beer for Dad. Deserved).



Finally, it was time to compete! Required supplies: candy hearts, plastic spoons, solo cups. The end.

First we stacked.



Then we raced with spoons in our mouths. This is about the time Grandma Jacki and Grandpa Brad stopped by and thought we'd lost our mind....


But, you can't come into the middle of our games and not join in...........so the competition grew! Like Grandma Jacki could pass up a challenge anyway!  HA

Stacking on the table seemed easy....so we upped the anty a bit...



Lastly we worked to "blow" off some steam and did straw races with the candy hearts!
It was a perfect night with the best people. So thankful God blessed us with three healthy, happy, onery kiddos. We enjoyed the night and will love you forever!

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...
