Waiting for Santa

The first Saturday of every December, Santa drives through our neighborhood on a fire truck with sirens blaring

And this year it was FREEZING as we stood on the sidewalk waiting for him to get to our house.

He threw us bags and bags of VERY frozen laffy taffy

Then... the next Saturday, we took the girls to see Santa at the mall... and so did all the other parents in Utah County. Here we are waiting in line to see Santa

And waiting....

And waiting.... and posing

And waiting and walking in our boots

Man, it's hard to wait.

The girls look darling for their visit with Santa but it really is so hard to wait. I hope they were still happy when they finally got to sit on his lap. It looks like everyone is getting ready for Christmas at your house, maybe this will motivate me.; December 11, 2011 at 6:41 PM

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
