School..... Blah!!

Another first day of school came and went in a total blur. On Sunday, Allie made a snap decision to come back and live with me. So I found myself in the office on Monday morning signing her up in a crazed fashion. I've done this registering thing so many times, I didn't even have to think about it. I had all the proper paperwork and documentation ready as fast as they could ask for it. Literally, in 23 minutes I had her signed up, lunches pre-paid, schedule created.

Then on Tuesday night....late, Raleigh and I and the girls were at Walmart along with every other family in St. George getting last minute folders, pencils and Morgan's lunch items. She HATES school lunch, so we had to stock up on Ruffles, Oreos and Ham.

Wednesday morning I went walking and got home in time to take photos and wave bye. Then I ran in like a crazy person and got ready for work.

Morgan

My Freshman

Allie, my 6th grader

Quincey is a big, bad Junior and they didn't have to be to school until noon and she was sleeping during our photo shoot. Her loss. But she did venture over there and then had to be to work right after school. I didn't see her until 7:30 and she had her work clothes on, so I really didn't get a picture of her.

Every one but Morgan had a great day. Even Allie. At a new school, where she changes classes. She did a great job.

That is happy news that Allie is back, but I'm sure it was a bit stressful since you weren't planning on it, well it would have been for me. Didn't it seem weird not having Brayden go to school. It sure did for me with not sending Blake. Oh how time flies. '

You are an amazing lady and I sure love ya!; August 15, 2013 at 7:40 PM

I am glad Allie is home and that she had a good first day and the "Intermediate school".

Anonymous said...: I love the first day of school. I remember when I used to go to school with the kids and see their classrooms and take pictures of their cute new outfits, etc. Now they are all grown up and no one wants their grandmother there...sniff, sniff. Glad you took some pictures so I could pretend like I saw them.

Anyway, Morgan and Allie look cute, as always. I'm so happy that Allie had a good first day and I hope she has a great year. Sorry about Morgan, hopefully things have gotten better by now. Good Luck to ALL as another year begins...here we go!!; August 17, 2013 at 8:06 AM
The fly-fisherman's wife said...: I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Brayden is no longer in school. How can that be?! Anyway, I am glad that Allie will be here this year for school. We like having her around. She and Morgan looked super cute for the first day!; August 17, 2013 at 8:12 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
