Sweet Mackenzie Rose

Sweet Mackenzie Rose…it sounds like the title of a book, but as far as I know, it isn’t, at least not yet. Who knows what the future may hold. Nevertheless, the title fits my grandniece, Mackenzie Rose Moore quite well. Her aunt, Jessi Sawdon says it so well, “Mackenzie is so kindhearted and sweet, and so fun!” Her grandma, Allyn Hadlock says, “Mackenzie is a sweet little girl who loves the Lord! She loves to sing along to Christian music, and she’s a witness to others at school who are having problems or just need cheering up.” Her mom, Lindsay Moore agrees, adding, “My baby!! She’s 8! We are so blessed! God has a special call and purpose for Mackenzie’s life and has made her unique. She is kind, sweet, loving, smart, talented and FUNNY! She is a delight.”

Mackenzie is, nevertheless, her parents’ daughter, and like her dad, Shannon Moore and her mom, Lindsay, Mackenzie also has a competitive streak which makes her talent in any sport really shine through. She is good at everything she does…a natural at learning new things. She loves gymnastics and has been attending classes for a few years now. She likes to jump and do tricks on the trampoline, and frequently, you will find her daddy out there jumping and doing tricks right along with her!

Her athletic prowess aside, she is, nevertheless, a very girly girl who likes to be pretty and do pretty things, dressing just so and doing her hair just so! She has a style all her own and loves to get ready from fixing her hair, to choosing her jewelry, all the way to shoes and accessories. While Mackenzie is girly, she doesn’t like to be super fancy, and often as not, athletic gear works just fine, and she can always dress them up too. She is graceful and humble and always takes time to include others and make sure they are comfortable. The reality is that pretty is, as pretty does, and Mackenzie is pretty, inside and out.

Mackenzie’s Aunt Jessi says, “We love that we get so much time with her and I’m so thankful for her friendship with Addie (Jessi and her husband Jason’s daughter). What a fun childhood they have together!” Mackenzie excels in school and has gotten many awards for different things. She also loves doing things with our family and gets together with her cousins every chance she gets. Her cousins, Ethan and Aurora Hadlock are quite a bit older than the younger cousins, but they play with the “little girls” as much as they can. The “little girls” includes Addie Sawdon, Mackenzie, and Jolene Thompson, and they are best friends. All close in age, they have like interests and play very well together.

Mackenzie’s mom, Lindsay says, “Shannon and I get such a kick out of the funny things she says and does! We are so thankful for her!” As are we all!! Today is Mackenzie’s 8th birthday. Happy birthday Mackenzie!! Have a great day!! We love you!!
