Finally! A picture of all of my kids together! I haven’t gotten a shot of them together since I did the pics for our xmas cards last year. I’ve been dying to get a shot worthy enough to be printed out HUGE so that I could display it proudly on my living room wall. This is it! And the other two below are hung up right next to this one. I’ve been trying to redo my house, hopefully I can post a few pics of it soon. Figures, I forgot to take “before” shots. 
You would not believe how much work this shot was. And the main culprit giving me the trouble was the littlest monster. Man, I’ve got my hands full with that one. I thought the curly haired cutie was going to make me loose it. But little Lukas has topped them all! I guess his big bros taught him well…and he took it to a whole new level! LOL!
Niko is a total sweetheart and I’m about to loose him to kindergarten…sniff sniff. He is such a lovable kid and my little helper. He’s pretty nervous to go to school so that’s making it harder on me…yeah, I said “me”! The only time I’ve been away from him is when I had his brothers or when he sleeps over at his aunt’s house. Ok, so I’m definitely the one having a harder time with him starting school! You can’t blame me, I haven’t sent one of my kids off to kindergarten in about 9 years…yup that means my daughter is going into 8th grade! High school next year…help!
I love this shot of Julian! It’s his classic pouty face. I’d say he looks like this in 90% of the pics I’ve taken of him. He just likes to be, how should I put this…difficult! Pretty much he wants to do the opposite of what you want him to do (doesn’t sound like me at all! 
. So, I need to remember that if I want him to smile I need to tell him not to!
This is one of my most favorite pics! Niko is such a goof, he was walking around with these goggles on and a blue hose hanging out of his mouth. It must be nice to be entertained so easily. 
Ok, so I know it was getting long…it was past his shoulders. But I really wasn’t ready to let go of it yet. Look at how shiny and luxurious those locks were. He practically had to beg me to cut it off. Yeah, I myself cut it! It took me about an hour because there was no way I could just hack it off. I started slowly and took off about an inch at a time…constantly asking him if that was enough. “No, I want it short like Daddy’s”, he would say every time. When I was just about done he looked at me and said “Don’t cry mom, my hair will grow back long again.” Sooooo cute! He melts my heart!
