First Day of School

Today was Julia's first day of school starting Kindergarten. She was sooo excited. Natalie started 2nd grade today as well. It was a great day. They both got to ride the bus to school. I met the girls up at school & walked them to class.

Julia all ready for her first day of school in Mr Brown's class.

Natalie is ready for her first day of 2nd grade in Mrs Lambert's class.


These sisters are best friends... :)
Waiting for the school bus.... :)
As soon as the bus was pulling up. Julia started running towards it. So basically she almost got hit by the school bus on her first day of school. The poor bus driver almost had a heart attack... So what we learned today.... Never step off the curb until the bus stops & opens its doors... :)

We are ready for school!!!!

Julia Light (the next Nastia Liukin) .... :)

I remember my first day of school in Tucson Arizona at the Carden School. I remember my strawberry shortcake lunchbox. My dad had written me a note on a 3x5 card and wrapped it around a piece of candy. I thought it was a piece of trash and threw it away. :( Dad asked me how my candy was when I got home & I was sooo disappointed!



I made the girls their lunches the night before. Natalie had PB&J and Julia Turkey & Cheese. Julia was very nervous. Ben gave both the girls special Father's Blessings for Family Night on Monday night, the night before school started. It seemed to help. The girls both had a good day. Julia's teacher, Mr Brown, asked a few of the kids how they felt about starting kindergarten. Julia announced to the entire class that she felt sick to her stomach because she was so nervous. She also warned everyone that when she gets nervous, she throws up! Good Times..... Luckily, she didn't throw up today. :)



Then after school, we went to gymnastics. The girls are starting at Auburn Gymnastics with their old coach Natalie Otis. She recently bought her own gym! They had a blast. Natalie has Natalie as her coach again. Julia has Ms Cheryl as her coach. They both did great! It was soo fun to watch them. Julia loves her new leotard. She thinks it makes her look like an Olympic Gymnast. She posed a bit for some pic before we left the house.
