Seal the Year with a Kiss

Traditionally, we find ourselves in St. George for New Year's Celebrations.
After saying a prayer of thanks, that we survived the drive down in the Blizzard of 2010...

We began with the opening of presents.
We got so many new things, that we don't know how we are going to get it all home.

This girl is an unwrapping pro now... not to mention, super cute. If she could only grow some hair.

We also celebrate Kami's birthday on New Year's Eve. And we use it as an excuse for the adults to go out to eat without any children.

The bow on my gift got a little smashed when I put it under my arm to take a picture. It was really funny to us at the time... you probably had to be there.

Papa and Kaleigh bonded all weekend. Here he is giving her some Grandfatherly advice and she is listening intently

That evening we went to Kami's for cake and ice cream

And Peyton was so mad that we made her wear this stupid hat

Yum. I love white cake with butter creme frosting.

And this cute boy.

And this cute girl

Happy New Year, Little Sis

2010 was a great year. We have so many happy memories and we were so blessed. We are all healthy, we have good jobs, we laughed a lot, we kept busy, we added a sweet baby and are more in love

What more could a girl ask for?

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
