Kenzie had a 3rd grade biography fair. All the students were to pick a famous person living or dead to do their report on. Mackenzie picked a very famous gymnast named Nadia Comaneci. Nadia is most famous for her performance at the Summer Olympics of 1976 held in Montreal. At the young age of 14, Nadia's performance on the UN-Even Bars led to the first perfect 10 score in summer gymnastics history.
The scoreboard wasn't even equipped to flash a 10 so it read 1.00. It took the spectators a few seconds to realize they were seeing history being made with the first perfect 10. Nadia went on to earn 6 additional perfect 10's at these Olympics. She also earned 3 golds and a bronze.
Kenzie was most excited to be able to wear her gymnastics leotard and warm-ups to school. She proudly displayed her poster and some of her own medals she earned.
Parents were invited to come walk around the classrooms and see all the different characters. Dawson and I just happened to show up at Kenzie's class the same time Xander's class was walking through. So I was able to get a pic of all my kids together at the school. It was pretty cool to be able to go and support Mackenzie and her efforts she put into her report.

Her chioce for a person was perfect. She did an excellent job on the picture report. Nadia was fantastic in her performance that year. I remember watching her compete as girl in her early teens. Mackenzie chose a good role model.
Awesome, Kenz!
Happy birthday to your girl!
Way to go, Kenz! What an awesome report. So fun to go see those cute things at school. Love it!
I remember watching her on TV, too. Her accomplishments were amazing. Neat Kenz could learn about her and even get to wear her leotard to school.
Love Xan's lost tooth smile.
Mom, Xander is now missing his other front tooth. He lost that one at school that day. I showed up and Xan was toothless. Dan, Kenz's birthday blog is coming.
Very nice. Good thing this came before baby! Hard to do a poster post baby. Hope you get the birthday blog done before baby too.
