April 2010

We worked very hard in our kitchen at the beginning of April. We put in a beautiful new black sink and stainless faucet, and we painted the counter tops. Now they are a light brown color instead of ORANGE.

Thur, 4/1 Garrett helped Daddy hook up the new sink.

Dress Up Time

(Thur, 4/1)

Fri, 4/2: Good Friday. My office and all the boys' schools were closed.
I was discussing why we have Easter with Garrett. He asked if Jesus lives in church. I said he lives in our hearts. He said, "Yeah, He makes our heart go bump, bump, bump." I said, "That's right, Jesus is our heartbeat."
  

 Sat, 4/3

Easter, 4/4 

Tue, 4/6 As Garrett was getting something out of the refrigerator, I heard "Everybody was fast as lightning." To top it off, he then comes into the living room with his cup and a gallon of milk. I say, "Garrett, you have to ASK to get something out of the fridge." HE says, "I asked my own self."

Fri, 4/9: Sam was one of three students in his class to receive 1st place in the 4-H demonstration contest. The next level was presenting at the county 4-H competition. He came in 2nd in the county.

After the competition we dropped Sam off at a sleepover for one of the boys in his class.

Sat, 4/10: We picked up Sam from the sleepover early and took the boys to the opening ceremony for the soccer season. After the ceremony, we took Sam back for the rest of the sleepover and for the birthday party. While Sam was there, one of Caleb's friends called to see if he could come for a sleepover. Dewayne promised all the boys that he would build a fire pit in the back yard and make s'mores. He got called in to work, however, so I made good on his promise. I built the first fire in the pit.

Sun, 4/11: First Soccer Game of the Season

Mon, 4/12: Caleb & Sam didn't have school, so they got to go to the dentist!

Fri, 4/16: Dewayne's new toy

We also started Garrett's birthday celebration this day. The Selvages and Stricklands came over as usual, but we had dinner and cookie cake and Garrett opened presents. Trey & Luchen stayed the night. It was Garrett's first sleepover.

Sun, 4/19:  Garrett's 4th Birthday!!!

Thur, 4/22: My bosses took me and the rest of the ladies in the office to Olive Garden for Administrative Professionals Day. It was yummy!!

Sat, 4/24: Dewayne & I went to the auction part of Family Fun Fest at church. We won this little dog kennel.

Mon, 4/26: Tonight Dewayne led Garrett in a prayer to ask Jesus into his heart. It was undoubtedly the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

Fri, 4/30: Garrett had a well check. He's right on target with everything.
