First day of KINDERGARTEN

Today was Makena's first day of Kindergarten. She was excited all day and couldn't wait until after lunch when she got to go. After lunch came, and we still had 15 more minutes, but she insisted it was time to go because it was after lunch. We left a little early to get to school. She was thrilled to be going. She was all smiles. She stood in line with her little friends from the neighborhood and waited until Mrs. Thayer came out to get them. She gave me a hug and then went with her class. No problems at all going.

When I went to pick her up, I asked her how her day was and she told me, "Mom, I think I'm going to like this class." I was so glad to see her happy and that she had a fantastic day. She also got a ding-dong that said on it, "my first day of Kindergarten was a piece of cake." Makena was excited to show me a DVD that she got to bring home and gets to watch everyday for 3 weeks to help her learn her letter sounds. That won't be hard homework at all :)

It was a great day for her. Can't believe she is 5 and going to school! It will be fun to see her progress throughout the year and to see all the things she is going to learn!


Makena wanted to wear her princess shirt the first day so she could show her teacher that her shirt matches her backpack.

Makena with her friends Jaycee and Kennedy. They got to play on the playground for a short time before school started.

Makena and Katelyn

A good friend of mine, Kristy, moved back to Utah after being gone for a long time. She has her little girl Katelyn that is the same age as Makena and they are good little buddies. Here they are after school was done. It is a bummer we couldn't get them in the same class...but at least they are both in the afternoon session and can see eachother at school and we still get together to play! It is fun having them back in Utah and living so close to us!!


Kali, Makena, Katelyn and Rachael. The sister's didn't want to be left out of the picture!
