Keeping up with the Lunds: Bless-ed

Bless-ed

Kaleigh Jane was blessed today. And it was a beautiful day. She was happy and cooperative and super cute. Some of the family arrived on Saturday Night and so we ordered Wingers and laughed and told stories. Mom and I started cooking the meat (which has to cook for 18 hours) and I made Chocolate Chex Mix and mom made fruit salsa and then we were exhausted.

Here is Baby Kaleigh in her blessing dress

It was a very nice day, a super fun evening and Raleigh and Kaci even won the Grid Pot and we needed to. We have 100 children. Who have nothing to eat but Twinkies

URFAVE 5+A Few said...: It looks like it was a beautiful day! Little Kaleigh and Peyton look as darling as ever!

It also looks like it was a great super bowl get together! Lots of great food and the Packers WON!!! WhooHOOO!!!!

The only thing that didn't look quite right in your pictures was Brent and Kami. What in the world are the wearing that Vikings garbage for? I mean good grief, the Vikings sure the heck weren't in the Super Bowl and today wasn't the draft SOOOOO what the heck are they doing dressed like goof balls???

Anyway, enough of that. It looked like a wonderful day. Oh and by the way, you look amazing! No one should look like you after 6 babies! What's your secret, do you eat? Or do you eat very little and run like Kami and Brent? Do tell-please!

Take Care,

Anonymous said...: It really was such a wonderful/perfect day. Of course Kaleigh's blessing was beautiful and she looked darling and didn't make a peep! She is such a sweet baby. It was a challenge to go from the sweetness of the blessing to the rawdiness of the Super Bowl game but somehow we managed to make the transition. I loved Raleigh's twinkie stadium, especially the Slim Jim goal posts, such a mixture of "odd" flavors. All the food was especially good, you both did a great job and were great hosts. Thanks for everything...we had a wonderful weekend. We love you all soooo much!; February 7, 2011 at 6:34 AM
The fly-fisherman's wife said...: It was such a fun weekend. Raleigh did such a good job with Kaleigh's blessing. She looked absolutely beautiful. She is such a good baby, and so darling!!! The superbowl party was a blast a well. I am SO happy that the Steelers didn't win. Congrats on winning the loot!; February 7, 2011 at 6:48 AM

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
