Kinsley's first ballet recital

Kinsley had her first ballet recital on May 31st, 2014. We were beyond proud of her. Knowing how Kinsley is a shy and reserved little girl, I was worried about how she would do. She proved me wrong and then some. She did amazing. It honestly brought tears to my eyes. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. She is growing up so quickly. 

Here is my beautiful ballerina on her special day:

Look at that pose. Talk about someone coming out of their shell:

Here are the girls coming out onto the stage. Kinsley is the third girl from the left:

(the pictures are that good)

The song they danced to was called the Airplane Song. Kinsley is still third from the left:

And they are off and flying:

Look closely at those ballerina toes:

After the show:

5 year anniversary

Keith and I just celebrated our 5 year anniversary on May 30th, 2014. I can honestly say it has been the best 5 years of my life. So much has happened in the last 5 years. I got a career vs a job. I got my health back thanks to Keith. Keith has become a paramedic. He placed high on his promotional exam and is next in line to be promoted within the fire department. He has also gone back to school and is still there and on his way to becoming a nurse. We had Kinsley, the greatest milestone of all. We brought our first home together. We lost a member of our family, Bacchus. We have traveled to places we have never seen. Tried things we have never tried. We have done so much in 5 years and we have done it all together. I am looking forward to the next 5 years and many more!

Kinsley's Spring Concert

She sang "This little light of mine"

You are my sunshine!

Writing:

Kinsley wrote all our names on a piece of paper with no help. The only thing she asked us to do was to tell her how to spell daddy's name. Not bad for a 3 year old, not bad at all. 

One Spark at Downtown Jacksonville

This is the second year Jacksonville has hosted One Spark. Its a unique 4 day festival that promotes new business and ideas. These are some pictures of one of the days we went:

  

Good music makes people dance in the street. Kinsley made me dance with her a couple times:

After some tired legs, Kinsley hitch a ride on daddy's shoulders:

We stopped for some dinner at Chomp Chomp and Kinsley and I were being silly while waiting on our food:

This was one of the dancers preforming in the street. My elbow hurts just looking at it:

Award Ceromony

Kinsley got an award for "Outstanding Christian Citizenship" and we are beyond proud of her. This is a picture of her accepting the award from Mrs. Repper and Father Sal. We are also proud that Kinsley walked up there all by herself and accepted the award. She usually clings to me. 

GOOD JOB KINSLEY!!

Rockin' Ever After Disney on Ice

Keith and I took Kinsley to Disney on Ice and she LOVED it! She got all dressed up in her Belle dress and her Aurora purse.

This was a part from Tangled:

Kinsley showing off her wallet where she kept her "ticket". She is also showing off a toy she got:

It was so cool to watch Kinsley's face light up when all her favorite characters came out. 

Three Amigos

A rare picture of all three of us:

This was the day we went to the Blues Festival at the beach!

St Patty's Day

I know it's a little late to be posting this, but these were my St. Patrick Day treats I made for Kinsley's class. 

80's PROM

Keith and I went to a Gala to raise money for Kinsley's school. The theme was 80's Prom.
