1st day at NERKS

The annual 1st-day-of-school pic.  Please notice how Jake is MIA.  He 'had' to go to the gym.  I told him that he would be missing pictures.  He was really disappointed.  KIDDING!  He always gives me such a hard time about having his pics taken...especially the 1st day of school.  It's really stupid, you know, how I like to capture this day.  So here they are...the 3 'little' ones~growing up WAY too fast!!!!!

showing their outfits so they can one day be completely mortified at how they used to dress and ask me how i could ever let them out of the house looking like that...

"C'mon~one more".  After i took it i wanted to take another one~i showed liv and ben how they looked and said we can get a better one.  Livie, the smart-aleck teenager, said, "i like it when i make that face".  Whatever!

 kayt's leaving for school and just popped her head out to say good-bye to them...and to laugh at the girls because she's wearing jeans and they still have to wear skirts.  typical kayt ;)

"Bye, guys, have a good day!  Mommy loves you!"

"Mom~we know!" (not looking back!)
