Pictures.......

Yay!!! Christmas Card Photos....

Bring Families Together

So when I woke up this morning, I sent out the memo that we'd be taking photos 1/2 hour after church and the colors were black, white, grey and red.

The murmuring began......

Are you kidding me, with those colors?

Why today?

I hate taking pictures.

Blah blah blah....

I was tuning it out.

We took a grand total of 176 pictures and this is the best we could do

Merry Christmas Everyone

Brayden didn't want to take singles unless Ry was in the picture with him

When all was said and done, we actually had a very nice time. I'll do it again.... next year.... Maybe

Let me give you a great suggestion that worked SO WELL for me this year!!! Find someone that your girls really love and admire (ours was Alex, their old babysitter and our wonderful friend) to come over and help them with their hair and makeup. Then, while she gets ALL your kids ready, disappear into the bathroom, take a long hot shower, and get yourself ready. While you are doing this, all your kids can be going out one by one to have their individuals taken. Then at the very, very end... you emerge in all your beautified glory to join in the family shots. It worked like a charm! We were actually a very efficient photo taking assembly line! And I didn't hear ANY murmuring... I only saw them happy and having fun outside! I mean, you know they only complain when you're around to hear them, right? So the least exposure possible to the mom during an activity like this, the better :-)

Looks like you guys had lots of fun!!! We took "throwing leaves" pictures too!!!; December 2, 2012 at 10:42 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
