The Walk-a-Thon

AT KD's school, we only have 1 fund raiser for the entire school year. It's our annual walk-a-thon. For an entire hour in the morning, all the kids and all the faculty walk around the school. The entire week before, the kids collect money from family and friends who pledge a certain amount for their walk. And 100% of the proceeds go to the school. Anyway, the walk-a-thon is a pretty major thing and so much fun. We had the Weber State University cheerleaders and mascot there, along with their radio station DJing the entire walk.
The morning of the walk was cold, so I sent KD to school with her coat and a sweater. When I got to the school, however, I noticed that she wasn't wearing eitherm and was freezing. I had to run to her class and grab them for her. After she got walking for a while she got warm enough that she didn't need them.

Here's KD starting her first lap and walking past Waldo the Wildcat, WSU's mascot.

Here's KD and her friend Jaylynne. I think they were on thier 5th lap.

Here's Kd walking past the cheeleaders and getting high 5's from all of them. I walked with Kyla and Kamryn in the stroller, and the cheerleaders all thought Kyla was soo cute. Whenver we would get near them, the cheerleaders would call down the line "Here she comes!" and they would all rush to give her high 5's.

Here's a really cute shot of KD and her best friend Jaylynne with Waldo the wildcat. They had such a good time!!

KD and Kyla do the Macarena!

The last few 15 minutes of their walk-a-thon turned into a big dance party! My and a few of my more childlike adult friends were out on the grass with kids, dancing just as hard if not harder! It was a blast! Iwas reminded of why I love dancing so much!!

KD's first day of 1st Grade!

I can't believe my baby's in 1st grade already! She's getting so big. She's in full day now, and get's out at 3:05pm. She complains that it's too long, but I just think "Oh sweetie, this is only the beginning". She's lovin it though. Her teacher says that she a social butterfly, she get's in trouble sometimes for talking too much!
This is her in her first day outfit. She looked so cute! Oops, sorry KD. She looked way cool, not cute.

This is her and Zoe, a really good friend of hers. Luckily, she and both of her best friends are in the same class this year.

Sorry these next few are blurry. My camera sucks indoors. N-E-way, this KD at her desk. I got so excited when I saw that she had her own desk, with her laminated name tag on it. I'm such a geek!

And this is her in front of her class door. I know you can't see it, but she's pointing at her name. Her teacher, Mrs. Wardleigh, is so nice. And she works really hard with the kids. KD likes her a lot. We got the year off to a good start, I hope we can keep it going!!

Little Mommy

Kyla is such a little mother. She loves to help me with Kamryn, and whenever I'm busy with Kam, she's doing the same thing with her baby. When i'm feeding Kamryn, she feeds her baby. When we go for walks, she has to bring her baby in her little stroller. She's so cute. She's my Sweetheart!

Such a sweetie pie. And yes, her baby has no clothes on. We're still working on that.

KD's Tooth

KD lost her first tooth! It's been loose for awhile, but the other night she was eating fruit snacks, and one of them caught her tooth making it a LOT looser. Then the next morning she comes to me and says "Mom, my tooth is almost out" I said "Oh! Do you want me to get it for you?" "No. I can get it myself." And she reaches in her mouth, and yanks it out, all by herself Personally, i'm a little glad I didn't have to do it. It always made me queasy when I had to pull my own teeth out. I'm even queasy just thinking about it. But not KD. She rocks!
P.S-the little bag she's holding is the tooth bag she made. She decorated it, and then put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy to find. I also have it on good authority that the Tooth Fairy had a hard time deciding how much to give her for her tooth. Ms. Fairy wanted to give her a quarter, but her assistant wanted to be really generous and give her a whole dollar! They decided on $.50. An ok compromise.
