Kimleighel Time

Since Kimleighel had the week off because Trichelle and her family were vacationing we decided to go to lunch.  Kimi has wanted to go to Zupa's for awhile and today we made it happen.  I had plenty I could have been doing but I know that my time with my kids is limited and everything can wait.  It was fun being with Kimi and listening to her talk.  Kimi reminds me of myself with all the talking she does.  I love that she shares so much with her mommy.  Kimi is constantly telling me how beautiful and wonderful I am.  I hope I encourage and compliment her as well.  My kids really are such wonderful examples to me.  They are each such special blessings.  I am thankful for Kimleighel and can't wait to see what's in store for her.  One of my favorite things that she told me today was that she wasn't going to change who she was to satisfy someone else.  She had been talking to a young man on face time and being her silly self.  I guess he made some comments that hurt her a little but also made her realize that she was happy with who she is and wasn't going to change.  I admire her for telling the boy to lose her number because she didn't want to talk to him again.   I admire Kimleighel for loving herself and feeling good with who she is.  I wouldn't want her to change either.  Kimleighel is Happy and Fun just the way she is.  I'm glad we had our little time together.  I love Kimleighel!

 BACK IN TIME

Breakfast ~ What occupation did you want when you were a child? From the time I can remember I always just wanted to be a "Mommy".

Lunch ~ Name a few favorite memories of your elementary school days.  I remember taking naps in kindergarten and one child got to wake everyone up and I never got a turn but always hoped for one. (maybe not a favorite memory but one of my earliest)  I loved playing kick ball and hop scotch and four square.  I was the Hopscotch Champion for the entire school in 6th grade.  I played the flutophone loved playing Little Red Caboose.  I got in trouble with some other kids and had to stand with our arms out...it might have happened more than once.  I loved collecting rocks in 5th grade because of the teacher. 

Dinner ~ What is one smell that brings back memories from your childhood and why? Coffee in the morning. My mom and dad started each day with a cup of coffee and I still enjoy the smell because it reminds me of my childhood home.

Midnight Snack ~ Who was your best friend in elementary school? Kevin Weise was my best friend...I even named my child after him.  Tricia and Carol Larsen, Tami Endow, Julie Hall, Suzanne Trewett, Mindy Peterson, Lynn Halpin, Nancy Webb, Tonya Stockberger. Junior High? Mallory Hyde, Tonya Stockberger, Suzie Hendricks, Teri Cottrel, Lisa Van Natter,   High School?  Tonya Stockberger, Mallory Hyde, Kim Porter, Jeanne Taketta, Carol Larsen, Carol Smith. College? Kim Taylor, Mallory Hyde, Tonya Stockberger, Laurie Henry.
