If she wasn't so cute....

More First Birthday Baby Photos... We took at least 100. But it was a very BIG day.

Peyton's actual birthday was August 12th. And her party was scheduled for the 14th. But we couldn't resist celebrating twice.

She became a pro after Dad showed her what to do

Honestly, what is better than a big ole sloppy chocolate baby kiss???

Party Day

A pretty cute birthday girl

Grandpa got in the pool for the first time in a very long time.

Here is Raleigh, baby cake decorator extraordinaire

Yummy

Peyton shares a birthday with her second cousin, Boston. So we put towels in their shirts and let them go to town on the cake. As you see, they did not let us down.

She has her dad's bum. Super cute.

We HAD to throw them in the bathtub. Look at Boston being all modest.

Oh man, the clothes and the toys. What a fun day

I just love this picture

Sunday Morning before church. I couldn't resist

Her real present from us is a big girl car seat (or the throne, as the kids call it) In reality, we simply need to get the baby car seat cleaned up and ready for Little Sis, who better stay put for a few more weeks.

Who we are, where we've been and where we are going

We are the Lunds. And some of us are Koenigs. And this is our life. I am Kaci and I am the creator/author/historian of this blog. What I write, I write with two goals in mind... To keep my family totally and completely involved in all of our doings and to keep a record of our life events. That is all it is...

I had four children from a previous marriage as well as a whole lot of baggage. And maybe that might have discouraged a lesser man from pursuing me, but luckily for me the stars aligned and a very good, honest, brave, not to mention super sexy boy took a chance on me. And pursue me he did... to flattering proportions.

In 2008, I married the Love of My Life. I didn't know being married could be this wonderful and happy. I didn't know that being in love feels like THIS. I didn't know that truly being loved and correctly taken care of is the greatest blessing a girl can have in her life. I thank my Heavenly Father a few times a day for guiding my path to the greatest of my treasures. It was a rough and long road but so worth the journey.

In 2009, we had our Sweet Peyton. She is a Lund all the way from her confidence level and mild mannered disposition right on down to her perfectly round and rather large head. What a blessing she is to our home and our life.

In 2010, we had Kaleigh. She is little and darling but don't let her tiny stature fool you. This girl can take care of herself. She climbs on EVERYTHING!!! And is afraid of NOTHING!

What a complete joy she has been, our little elf.

And in 2011, we had Ryker. We weren't really sure what to do with a boy. It's been a long time. But he is the exclamation point on our little family and we love him with all of our hearts.

My "big kids" (I call them), mean the world to me. I could not do this without them. They make me laugh, keep me young, make me feel pretty, lighten my load, make me proud, love me anyway and challenge me too. We've been through a lot,

the five of us, but they are superior kids because they've weathered the storm.

We are a pretty crazy and energetic family. There are constant comings and goings and hysterical happenings. These are our stories. And they are all true. Flowered up maybe, but certainly true.

Enjoy
