Moving on.
Check out this smile. It is is the last picture of Caleb with his braces on! That is right-- yesterday he got them off! And though I tried to throw him a goofy little party in the waiting room-- Caleb wasn't too happy about that.
Look at that smile!
Bye bye braces.
It was interesting to watch the tech snip off Caleb's brackets.
After, she sanded off the glue and finally took new impressions.
Paul caved under the peer pressure of his siblings and got his hair cut. He loved it so much, as did his younger brothers that I also went ahead and cut Andrew and Jonny's exactly like it! They looked like the "three musketeers!"
After Adam fed Lizzie he decided to spend some quality time with her. That ended when she gave him a big surprise. It was not pleasant.
The girls kept asking to paint their nails for the first day of school so we had a little nail painting party.
6:00 am came way too soon. Maybe because I stayed up late and made cinnamon rolls for the kids to eat in the morning-- which they loved. And I must admit, I did too.
Everyone was excited and couldn't wait for me to drive them to school. Alex couldn't stop talking about riding the school bus after school!
We could tell Dennis was bummed that he was the only one not going to school today but he quickly got over it when he saw that a warm, gooey cinnamon roll was waiting for him at the table.
Caleb has joined water polo! He has already been practicing this week so the high school campus is already familiar to him! Have a great first day of high school Caleb!
Here is the kids' first day of school photo! Don't they look great!

Love all the pics except for Lizzie. LOL! Your kids look awesome all ready for the first day of school. I don't know how you do it, getting everyone to look at the camera at the same time! You ROCK!

okay for real? Lizzards have diarrhea?!? eeeewww!!!
sorry, can't get past that.
Kids look great. come on what is the news you are leaving us hanging about?!? you know EVERY time you do this we think you are adopting again!
What a fun post. I love how your older kids cooperate with the blogging. I don't have that same luck, unfortunately. They don't like photos taken at all.
The lizard thing IS disturbing.
The children look wonderful. I feel better that you let your girls paint their nails; I've wondered if I was doing something "wrongish" (i.e. too grown up) letting Anastasia do hers.
I think I shall ever want to cuddle with a lizard...
The kids are beautiful as usual. Love all the smiling faces. It is easy to tell they are loved and know it.
I live in Canada, and I'm a teacher. We only go back to school September 8. I still feel like I have a whole month off yet. Must be quiet around the house compared to summer holidays!
Great photos and no kidding, Lizzie did give a BIG surprise, wow!
love it all. Tell Paul I think he looks so handsome with his new haircut. How did Paul and Anastasia do on their 1st day?
Love Caleb's new smile and Paul's handsome haircut. :)
Wow! I can't believe how big Caleb looks!! And high school??? Who let him grow up?
Paul is a cutie.
They look FABULOUS!!!
Very cool about Caleb in water polo... my son plays too. Sometimes we play the "south valley" teams... I'd love it if I saw your family at a game!!
WTGo Caleb!!! I could have done without the lizard poop photo LOL!!! I wonder what big news you have?!?
Wow! It's hard to think about going to school yet. My kids don't go back until September 9. Here in upstate NY we need to enjoy August. Summer is too short here.
I know you all get out sooner too.
How did things go for Paul and Anastasia?
