Johnny, Clay, Caleb & Chandler,
Welcome to TRF! You found a great spot to talk rockets!
For "beginner" kits, you just can't go wrong with the FlisKits Thing-a-ma-jig and Whatchamacallit that gdiscenza was talking about. They have a very creative interlocking fin assembly system that makes them just about perfect for beginners. Another Fliskits design that is a great beginner rocket is the Rhino, because the parts can be lined up all at once on a flat work table, making fin alignment easy.
I would also have to agree with the advice to stay away from the plastic "ready-to-fly" junk. Yes, they would have you out in the yard much faster. No, they don't teach you a thing about building, or how to glue, or really, anything useful except how to waste money. (I don't like them, and if you are going to "get into" this hobby, you probably won't either.)
Estes is the brand you will probably run into if you go into a store (your local hobby shop, your local R/C store, your local Hobby Lobby, etc). Their entire line of "skill level 1" is designed for beginners. Some recommended Estes kits include:
Alpha - A really great performer on A or B or C power. The original Alpha (kit 1225) is a bit more basic, but is easy to build. The Alpha III has a plastic fin unit which simplifies assembly somewhat, but ask the hobby shop guys what glues to really use on styrene parts (Estes recommends Testor's-type "tube" glues, but they don't work very well)
Big Bertha - Relatively bigger, stays lower and slower, still a LOT of fun and another classic design. You can use B or C power; later, when you have more experience, you can pull out the motor mount and install a 24mm D or E motor mount for SPECTACULAR performance.
Cosmic Explorer - Falls into pretty much the same category as Big Bertha, but with a little more jazzy design.
Space Eagle, Vector Force, Super Alpha, Monarch, Stratocruiser, Der Red Max, Baby Bertha are all the kind of designs that would work well for you.
And pretty much anything else in the Estes catalog in skill level 1 or 2.

If you need the launch gear to get started, watch for a "Starter Special" (also by Estes). This includes a launcher, an electrical ignition system, and a model rocket or two, enough goodies to get you started in the hobby and keep you going for a while. If you can find an older Starter Special (on a dusty back shelf?) they used to include a couple motors to get you started.
You can sometimes find a Starter Special at Wal-Mart, but at Hobby Lobby you can use a 40%-off coupon every other week.
If you need help understanding the motor identification codes, and how to select motors for your rockets, bring your questions here. And when you are looking for a few "upgrades" we'll tell you how to find a better launch rod, how to rework your electrical launch controller to work better, and how to build more rockets!
