Keeping up with the Lunds: Summer or Bummer?

Summer or Bummer?

I think we are kinda boring. Or we are just exhausted. But we haven't done anything at all this summer. We forced ourselves to put the kids' swim suits on and we took them to a water fountain. And then, we were so tired, we went home and went to bed. We have enjoyed sitting outside on our deck, every single night and the kids run back and forth in the grass, while we sit there and watch them. And we haven't taken a trip or made any plans to do so. And maybe it's okay because essentially that is saying that we are just content to be together no matter what we are doing.... right?

Our big kids got to go on a cruise to Mexico. And they've been to Island Park and Seven Peaks and they are working and earning tons of money and getting tan. I think it's enough for us to live vicariously through them. Oh well, there will be other summers.

I cannot believe how big he is getting. He is almost the same size as Kaleigh.

She is usually so adventurous, but she wasn't sure how she felt about water splashing on her

This girl on the other hand, we couldn't get her out of there.

Fourth of July was a LAZY day for us. The highlight was dinner at Red Robin. And we were all asleep by 10:00

I am not sure they noticed.... or cared.

Besides...when are they going to "improve" fireworks??? It has been the same "show" for 36 years of my life? I dunno...just a thought.
It was fun to get to see you for a bit...I am praying it will be A lOT more soon.
Love you!; July 7, 2012 at 10:12 AM
URFAVE 5+A Few said...: Well outside of our little trip up to your neck of the woods last month our summer has consisted of surgeries. SO yeah, were not real fun either. But were usually not. However, next summer is going to be the bomb! So until then I will just be boring and/or content:); July 7, 2012 at 11:21 PM
Marianne said...: Ha! Most of our summers have been just like yours, playing at home and worn out parents! Strangely, those are some of our best memories, just playing in the backyard and being together at home. Your kids are darling and getting so big!; July 9, 2012 at 10:09 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
