johns-junk: First day of school at Rosa Parks

CRAZY things that come out of Kennedy's mouth

**Mom, do you think old people are just cute as a button?
**These snow pants make my panties shrink
**My pinky toe smells weird. In fact, my whole foot smells weird!
**Mom, when I turn 18, will I be an old cripple?
**She was wrestling with Colton and I heard her yell "bring it on, butterball"
**At lunch in Leavenworth, we were talking about the small portions. A few minutes later Kennedy says, "this is a small lunch, indeed!"
**We were at the grocery store and she was riding in the cart. Whitley was trying to get in with her and she was freaking out. Landon asked her why Whit couldn't get in with her and she said "because I have space issues!"
**I told Kennedy to roll up her sleeves so that she didn't get them in her food. She said, "No because then I'll look like an Irish leprechaun"
**"Dad, you don't respect my cultures!" "What does that mean?" "It means you don't respect me as your boss!"
**Kennedy just told me that if she had medium brown skin and a black mole on her upper lip, she'd be the most beautiful girl in the world!
**She was trying to tickle my feet, and I kept moving them and she said "just take it like a man-I want to year you laugh"
**We were driving home from gymnastics, and talking about Whitley's upcomgin meet, and out of nowhere Kennedy yells from the back seat "Hey mom, can babies crush bananas?"
**She was helping Colton pull his boots off, and they wouldn't come off. She was leaning back and pulling as hard as she could and she yelled "I'll never give up on you, buddy"
**At breakfast this morning, after taking a big swig of milk, Kennedy declared "milk is my passion"
**She came to me in the middle of the night, sort of whimpering, and said "mom, I'm almost crying".
**Today she called Whitley a desperate peanut thrower!

First day of school at Rosa Parks

Today was the kids first day of school at their new school Rosa Parks Elementary. We walked to school for the first time ever! Tomorrow they want to ride their bikes. They were all a little nervous, but definitely ready.

Kennedy has Ms. McGuire (1st grade)

Whitley has Mr. Anderson (4th grade)

and Colton has Mr. Brekke. (6th grade)

Once they got home, they were all so happy. They loved their teachers, and had all made some friends. The first thing Colton said to me when they came home was "can we please stay at this school all year long?" It broke my heart. I don't want them to feel unstable! I promised him that we would be here throughout the school year, and that the next time we moved it would be back home to AZ. (Now let's just hope I can make that happen). Anyway, I'm glad we're past that hurdle, and everyone survived. Now all we have left to do is go to church here. Can't wait to see what our new ward is like.

Allison: Cute school pics! Your kids are good sports. I actually wish I would have moved around a bit when I was younger. My husband did, and as a result, he's not the social retard that I am :)
Congrats on 14 years ~ wow!
We will be moving to the Glendale area (I think). That is where the school is at. I don't know much about the area, but am looking forward to the nice weather!!; September 8, 2008 at 10:39 AM
