Keeping up with the Lunds: I am a mother after all...

I am a mother after all...

I spent my 17th Mother's Day with the kiddies. They did their best to clean the house... that was their gift to me... hmmmmmm.

The big kids left at 3:00 to spend Mother's Day with their dad (???)And the rest of us enjoyed the beautiful day by sitting outside on the deck

My sweet husband grilled me the most delicious steak

And helped the little kids make me the most darling gift that I will always treasure

Our strawberry/raspberry patch is thriving!! Yum

Kaleigh and Peyton rolled this huge ball around the yard

Then Raleigh took a nap and I cleaned the basement. Because I am a mother after all... and according to my kids... cleaning is what a mom does. I listened to some really good music and thought that I am truly blessed in so many ways.

Happy Mother's Day to my mom who is the best mom a girl could ask for. She is a great example to me. And a huge support. I'm sorry your gift was lost somewhere, but I will get to the bottom of that and will hopefully score some FREE stuff as a result. I love you very much.

Anonymous said...: Sounds like a wonderful Mother's Day and you sure do deserve it because you REALLY ARE a mother, after all!! I mean...look at ALL of those kids. I love all the pictures, especially the one of you with the "Super Seven".

Thanks for all the sweet words. I don't feel like I was that great of a mom but I sure did get some darling daughters so maybe I did something right after all. I love you and I'm so proud of you.; May 14, 2012 at 1:44 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
