I still cannot believe that Kynzley is seven! Seven years ago I was told "it's a girl!", seven years ago I laid in a padded bed with a room full of strangers observing my every minute, seven years ago I didn't have the full privilege of bonding with my brand new baby girl, seven years ago I was told I could die, seven years ago I fought (hard) for my life, seven years ago Kynzley and I were told we were miracles. Seven years ago!
Over the last seven years Kynzley has become such a remarkable young lady!!! She is so fun, loves to laugh and have a great time! She has a heart of gold for everyone and everything. She is our animal lover!!!! When she grows up she wants to be a veterinarian. She hates getting in trouble and never wants to disappoint. Kynzley is a perfectionist!!! We have struggled with this since the day she started preschool when she was three. She doesn't want to get things wrong and she wants to accomplish them exactly how the teacher wants it done. Because of this she can easily stress herself out. We've worked greatly on this this year and she seems to be doing well with understanding when she needs to take a moment and breathe. She loves school and does very well academically!
When it comes to style and personality, Kynzley has one of her own!! This year I completely let her decide what she wants to look like when heading out the door. Some days she creates some pretty off the wall looks, but we go with it! I love how comfortable and confident she is and I'm hoping that never changes!!
Kynzley is a great friend and a great big sister! She lets Benton have his way ALL the time. She hates confrontation and Benton knows this. He eats it up! If he wants something his way all he has to do is raise his voice and sissy gives in right away! Someday we are hoping she finds her voice and stands up to him! Ha!
We stay busy with all of Kynzley's activities, that's for sure!! She wants to be involved in everything - she thrives off of being busy and always on the go. After wrapping up Nutcracker this year we thought things would calm down, nope! She found even more things to take up our time. Our weeks consist of horse riding lessons, gymnastics, tumbling class, school activities, play dates and birthday parties, weekend camps and dance. She already has our whole summer booked!
Kynzley's an amazing little girl and I feel so blessed to be her mom!
The traditional birthday room decorations!
Her favorite for breakfast - donuts from the bakery!!
Feels so good to be 7
For her birthday treat at school, Kynzley asked if I could bring in stuff for her classmates to make their own ice cream sundaes.
Kynzley requested pizza from our local pizza parlor for her birthday dinner. The plan was to pick the pizzas up and eat at home, we surprised her with a couple friends and family members at the restaurant to celebrate!

A typical outfit choice for Kynz :-)
Off to riding lessons. On this day, Kynzley's horse got spooked from snow falling off the barn roof and she was thrown off his back. She was tough and got back on and finished her lesson! She was sore for a couple days and needed an adjustment to put some things back in position, but overall no major issues and she's been on a couple times since!
This was Wacky Wednesday and school for Dr. Seuss week. She didn't feel like she looked wacky enough - since she likes to dress like this on a regular basis!
First grade music concert - Ei Ei Oops!
I am beyond blessed that these two call me mom! Kynzley is such a great big sister and sets a great example for Benton!
Kynzley is a great artist! She has a crazy talent that I wish I had! I had the privileged of watching her draw the panther. Her technique is crazy!! She finds a picture that she would like to duplicate, places her pencil on the paper and starts drawing, never looking away from the original picture and never picking up her pencil. Her eyes and hand work together creating awesome master pieces!
Another day in the ring
Ready to take on the world!
