First Day of School 2008!!




The kids were excited but mostly scared to start the new school in Flagstaff! This school they attend requires a uniform! That is okay and all but I wish I would have known BEFORE I went school shopping! They have to wear solid light blue, white or forest green shirts. Crew neck, collared, sweatshirt, or hoodies are fine. They have to wear khaki or jean pants, capris, shorts (to their knee) or skirts.

I was glad to find out that 6th grade is still in Elementary school but, of course, Maddie wasn't! She was ready to start middle school! Oh well--one more year as the oldest could be kind of neat! It will give her a chance to meet some more kids before venturing off to her next milestone!

Taylor starts 4th grade! She got a male teacher so I told her that when I was in 4th and in 6th grade I had male teachers! She felt a little better after that! She didn't act that nervous to start a new school but tells me each day she has butterflies!

Emerie started first grade! They have all day Kindergarten in Arizona but, of course, the one year we live OUT of Arizona is the year she started Kindergarten! In Las Vegas she had half-day. She was so ready to be in school but their full-day program was full and it was tuition based! So this will be her first year of full-day school!

And best of all--they get to ride the bus!! Maddie hates riding the bus but I love it! It drops off and picks up only about a half of a block down the street!! :)

Poor Madi having to go back to Elementary. I like the idea of having uniforms, less competition. Your girls are so darn cute and so big.

Seeing your girls go ogg to school makes me miss them. They look so cute! I can't believe you guys moved to Flagstaff!! I'm glad I got to visit you before you left Vegas. Your Flagstaff house looks beautiful.
