Birth of Macy
I was born on November 5, 1996 at Butterworth Hospital at night. Many doctors were concerned due to the fact that I was born one month early; making me premature. I was hooked up to multiple machines the first few days but I ended up being okay and my parents took me home within a normal time period. -
Baby's First Christmas
I was only about one month old. The annual Christmas parties occured. On my dad's side, I was the first born grandchild so having a kid at the party was different. On my mom's side, I was the third born grandchild so they were more used to having the baby around. Everyone adored me and I was spoiled with gifts I didn't even realize. -
Macy's First Reactions
I was not a good baby at night time. I constantly would wake up and scream. My parents told me I was the worst at sleeping at night. I also would laugh and giggle alot during the day though, which was a complete polar opposite to what I was at night. -
Brother was Born
Noah Scott Krupiczewicz was born at Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids, MI. He was a baby when I was two years old. My mom had her hands full. -
Singing and Music Passion Began
At two years old, my parents already saw the connection with music I had. They would attempt to put me to bed, but at two years old, would have to come and get me to be quiet because I would be humming in my bed to bed-time tunes. I always had some sort of music playing and I was always attempting to sing alot with it no matter what time of day. -
Trip to Chicago with Grandparents and Family
For the weekend, my grandparents and parents took me to Chicago. I really enjoyed Rainforest Cafe and all the animals/noises in the restaurant. We took many pictures and enjoyed the weather for the summer month. -
PreSchool and Pacifier
I began Preschool. I was the first child of my parents in school at this point. It was a big event as well due to the fact that I was still very young because I was born in November. I still made the final cut to be old enough to make it into the class. The doctors were positive they could not hold me back another year since I was a fast learner. It took me awhile to also get rid of my pacifier but this was the year it was finally eased away from me. -
Little Sister is Born!
Hallie Noelle Krupiczewicz was born into the family as the third born child (and the youngest) on April 4, 2001. My mom was trying to hard to wait, as she wanted Hallie to have her own birthday instead of share a day with my dad's sister. Hallie was born very premature and sick with many complications and my parents were told they should not have any more kids because of how sick she was. -
Kindergarten Begins!
I began Kindergarten once again as the youngest of my class. I went to Grand View Elementary in Grandville, MI. -
9/11
This was a series of terrorist attacks that involved airplanes flying into the twin towers in New York. Thousands of people were killed and injured, while millions were effected. Safety and security especially cracked down after this incident. -
School Issues with Sass
The spunk and sass my parents had noticed in me came alive at school during the first grade. There were some girls in class that had the same type of 'sass' and we did not get along. We were constantly then forced to write notes to each other apologizing, as well as talk to the whale "tattle tale" stuffed animal in the teacher's room. -
First Airplane and Trip to Florida
On my 7th Birthday in November, my family and grandparents all went on a surprise trip to Florida. It was all of the kid's first times being on an airplane. We celebrated and stayed down there for a week, with many pictures, visits to the beach, and Disney World. -
Craft Phase
I was in third grade at the time. I went through a "crafty" phase this year, making tons of projects and art pieces. I really got into going to craft fairs during this time as well. Ever since, I have always been a creative crafy person. -
Close Friend almost Drowned
One of my best friends growing up, Dylan, was on a camping trip in the summer in Ludington. His foot was caught on a rope and he was pulled under water for quite some time. His little brother found him and he was rushed to the hospital by Aero Med. He was all on the news and Tv, as the miracle case that he survied. He lost alot of his memory but to this day, he is still going strong. -
Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina was the deadliest and most destructive Atlantic tropical cyclone of the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season. It was the costliest natural disaster, as well as one of the five deadliest hurricanes, in the history of the United States. -
Moved to Byron Center
This year was a big year for my family. My dad had always wanted to build a house so this was the year we decided to move. We had grown up in Grandville all of our lives, but my parents wanted to move before we got any older. It was a very tough transition and this was the event that had one of the biggiest impacts on our life. -
Joined a Travel Soccer and Bball Time
I joined a a travel soccer and basketball team. I had pink jerseys and the nicest coach for soccer. Basketball was mostly Upward but the coach was not nice. Both sports were good experiences overall and many pictures were taken! My height came in handy. -
Grandpa Barkley Passed Away
Our family rock, my superman, gained his guardian angel wings on this day. He had an ongoing battle for years with cancer and in my book, he won. He was a perfect inspiration and man to everyone. Thousands of people loved and adored him. He will forever be my superman guardian angel. <3 -
First Black President
Barack Obama was inaugurated as President of the United States on this date. He became the first black president of the country. Many debates and discussions were had over his election. -
First Musical and a LEAD!
It was my second year in middle school. I never had any guts to sing in front of anyone until now. I worked up the nerve to audition for the middle school musical and I got a LEAD!! My family was ecstatic and it was an amazing experience. I played Mrs. Gloop in Willy Wonka. -
High School Begins
I finally move on to the high school. I was a freshman this year and it was a big transition. I started to adjust but classes were definitely harder, especially when taking 3 honors classes. My parents had to make adjustments too, as they weren't used to having a "high schooler." -
American Idol and Cruise
I went on a cruise for spring break. I made some of the best friends and keep in contact with all of them still to this day. I had the time of life and it will never be forgotten. This year and summer, I also auditioned for American Idol. The experience was unreal. I sang with thousands of people and got taped as well. I keep in contact with everyone still. :) -
Driver's License/Sweet 16/The Voice
I finally turned 16!! I got my driver's license and was ecstatic. I had the best sweet 16 party. I love hockey and iceskating, so my parents rented out a huge indoor iceskating arena. I got to invite all of my friends and whoever I wanted for a fun celebration. I also auditioned for the Voice this year for the first time. Unfortunately, they had already accepted too many people and all of our group of 200 was let go. -
The Voice/Chicago/Graduation
I spent the entire weekend in Chicago to try for the Voice again. My best friend Hannah came along. I nailed my audition song but unfortunately got stuck with a producer who didn't care about her job or anyone. She typed on her computer the entire time and didn't pay attention or let anyone through. In May, I will finally be graduating and moving on to the next chapter in my life.
