Keeping up with the Lunds: It's my birthday and I'll cry if I want to...

It's my birthday and I'll cry if I want to...

Well.... This was a big one.
And I was not happy about it.
And I tried not to think about it too much
But everyone (and their grandma) kept texting me and reminding me with "hahahahas"

Raleigh is the world's greatest husband

He wrote to everyone I love and had them write a letter
to me and then he bound them into a book that he designed
himself and then I laid on the bed and bawled and bawled as I read them

He also went to Nothing Bundt Cake and got me
the cutest cake and probably the most delicious as well

Kori and Russ and the kids came up for the holiday weekend

And we went to Rodizio Grill
and ate until we nearly popped

And then we came home and ate this scrumptious cake

Then we crawled over to the couch and felt miserable

Allie is looking at my cute book

Then Sis taught the cousins how to work the iPad
because she knows how to navigate it better than anyone in our family

Kori and Kaleigh

Oh my gosh.... I think he is so cute

This is such a funny face

I made so many wishes which I KNOW will all come true
It was really a fabulous day, in reality
but I am glad that it is over and I have 10 years until the next horrible milestone.

Thank you, Lover for making all my dreams come true

So chin up and strut that cute little body that gave birth to those 6 babies, because girlfriend you got it going on! Enjoy your day!; May 27, 2011 at 10:43 PM
Anonymous said...: Please don't cry...this birthday business only gets worse. I hate to be a downer but it's true. So you just have to ignore it and go on with your life and not think about the number and just focus on how you feel (oop's maybe not so much on that) and blessed your life is. It looks like a great birthday to me with lots of cute people around and eating and CAKE...what could be better? I must admit, however, that I'm glad your birthday is over, just imagine how I MUST FEEL!!!; May 28, 2011 at 7:21 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
