What a nice big family you have! Now where are you?
har! har! i love these old photos! you are so chicken to not put one of you up there!!! lol
OH MY... I used to have the monogrammed sweaters like your sister is wearing!!!!
Oh I love it! Usually when you look at a picture and people look nerdy, that's not how they saw themselves at all.
Mr. Man was a skinny Texan nerd and he tried to make me believe it wasn't Nerd but was the Athlete look.
I happen to like nerds better.
Too funny. You could have been posting pictures of my family. Then I turned around a bred 2 more.
It's Revenge of the Nerds. We need to see your picture. Or were you the homecoming queen and head cheerleader? Nerds with headgears unite! I loved mine. I even had the plate in my mouth with the key. Happy WW and take care.

You have a beautiful family!!
I think they are great pictures! But yes, where is yours??
Happy Wednesday
I wouldn't say nerds just different and that is ok because everyone is different.
Where are you???
You poor thing. You must be the only cool one in the whole family!
Oh...I so LOVE these!! What fun to look back, huh?
Happy WW to all of you!
Lol! Great photos!
Great photos! I'm from a nerd family too...
Duh...you're the hot babe with the camera!
btw- LOVE the 70's shots-- lived the station wagon all kid packed in the back seat thing too :)
Happy Wordless Wednesday

Love it! I bet if I look back on our childhood photos we'd be similar.
So? When are you going to post your picture? ;)
Ah man!! NO FAIR!!!! lol.......
Love those old pics. Especially the brother with the car.
Haha - can't wait to see your picture!! I look at a lot of kids today and wonder what happened to the nerd look. It's not as obvious, around here at least. ;-)I was definitely very nerd like as a kid.... Okay, I might still be one.
now that's love! putting your brothers and sisters first. I'm impressed with your level of consideration.
Oh my they are sooo gonna kick your butt!!
Tickets, I got Tickets here.. don't be shy come buy .. a ticket for the butt kicking event!
Right here.. Tickets! LOL
How clever you are to leave yourself out!
I love clothes from the '70s. The movies that try to recreate the look always fall flat on how geeky the outfits were.
You've heard the saying; "Be nice to nerds, you'll probably work for one someday"
That's a teaser! Can't wait to see the uber nerd.
And I bet you are all millionaries too:-)
Large family. Can't wait to see your photo.
Loved the headgear pic on brother C. Haven't seen that stuff in years.
All I have to say is head gear is cool...don't even try to tell me differently! And yes...let's bring on that photo of you! I dare you!
PS - my brother calls me Lyn-nerd. I'm ok with that...
I can't wait to see you...
LOL - I think most of us had lovely photos like that. In fact I believe I had the same sweater outfit as your sister.
LOL... the best part is we know that was fashionable back then.
Can't wait to see your photo's. I have locked all old photos of me away because they are bad.
I come from a family of mullets, I'll have to pull something together
Hmm, yes, I also have a few of those photos hidden in a drawer somewhere!
Great Pictures!! I definitely need a scanner, I could post some beauties.
lol, I got a few I should post.
lol!! It's the sign of the times! Great photos! Happy WW and thanks for stopping by!
OMG LOL! Your brother C will hate you the most LOL!
I cannot wait! I swear, I have some pictures from 4th grade that really make me cringe. :)
Oh yeah, those early years..Awkward teen years.lol.
LOL..great post. I had a pair of plaid pants myself back in the day.
LOL--I had the same hairdo as your sister!!
I heard just the other day that plaid was coming back in for the fall...:) Too fun!
5- FIVE - F-I-V-E siblings???? How did you survive that???
I bet they are so grateful for you putting these on the webz! lol
LOLOLOL!! I bet they are lovin' you so much right now!!
UGH! Those awkward years! NOT FUN!
Aww, How cute is that!
Where's your pic?
Have a ♥Lovely♥ WW!
You had a lot of siblings!
Sometimes nerds make the best friends of all!
Those pictures are priceless!
It looks like your family came right out of the show "The Wonder Years". :) I can't wait to see your picture.
You have a big family. I'm the youngest of five so I know what it is like to have a lot of siblings. Can't wait to see a pic of you!
Dang you got a big family of nerds!
Wow.
LOL! That's funny. I wonder what they think of you posting this.

To be fair I think everyone in the 70s were nerds ;-) hehe great shots.
Remember, those pics WEREN'T nerdy looking back then!
I'll bet plaid pants make a HUGE comeback soon... reaaaaly soon.
I love those old photos. They always crack me up.
It's the plaid...why did we all wear plaid in the old days?
Oh I cannot wait!
Oh this should be good...
Wow! What a big family you have! Those pictures are awesome. I love the clothes. Does your brother's shirt say Spirit Buddiis? What the heck is that? I bet that shirt is still floating around on some cool kid today. Love the vintage tees
LOL great shots! Can't wait to see you.
Oh man, he's rocking the headgear!
Lord, help us...
Your family doesn't look that nerdy. They look dressed for the time you were living in. I am anxious to see what you looked like back then.
I bet they love you sharing these pictures of them! LOL!!
I think nerds are great. They rule the world afterall. I mean, who do you call when your computer breaks?
Oh, your family looks sweet and clever. I love it : ) Nerds are adorable. Didn't you love Erkel? Me too.
Hilarious! I love the plaid pants, the izod shirt, the wood panelling on the walls and the big old station wagon. I remember all of those things :-)
Love those pictures :)
You have a big family!
And I learned to drive on a station wagon very similar to the one in the last picture!
lol. remembering i need to clean out my closet and throw away any pictures...
LOL! I can't wait to see your nerd look. But I have to say.......didn't we all look like nerds back then?
I need to share the picture of my family taken in the 70's. We all look like a bunch of hippies.
At least none of the males in your family had perms ... umm not that I'm speaking from experience or anything. :-P
Those are great photos! I'm sure I have some very similar ones hidden away. I can't wait to see the ones of you!
I love looking at old photos... Although I have to admit I'm scared since you said that you were the worst of all... This is were I hope it means you were like some princess diva before that was the IN thing.. however, I'm sure never going to post my picture of me wearing a blue dress with puffs everywhere, with the blue eyeshadow, bangs, and oh I've said too much
Those pics are priceless!
I <3 the 70s!
Wow....I was always able to hide from camera when I had my headgear on. Sadly, not so for your Brother C...poor guy!
I am laughing so hard at the head gear that I nearly peed my pants!!! I want to see the before and after of you, my dear. By the way, how do your siblings feel about this post??? haha
I LOVE brother L's plaid pants - classic!!
LOL I love the plaid pants...He for sure grew out of it!
Playin' baseball and all.
Did you guys win the carnival so that you could control the Greek council??? LMFAO!!!!!!
I challenge you to find someone who didn't dress like a nerd back then!! We were all nerds! United as one!!
Those were the days :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog, and for the helpful advice. I really appreciate it! She does have her own clothes at our house, so I can control what she wears here, I just want her to learn the same values so at her mom's, she can pick out good clothes, too.
Nice family portraits - so is the stay tuned a hint of a self portrait coming up? Presumably during the peak of the nerd phase!
Oh my! Those were some contenders for my Dork Off--why didn't you enter them??? Poor Kid # 3 with the headgear. Ugh. Can't wait for your photo!
Cool shots! Is that head gear brother C has one? so funny.
Thanks for sharing. Happy WW!
How sweet of you to share their dorkiness with the rest of us..can't wait to see the worst offender!
LOL, I can only imagine!
Classic pics!
Oh, so mean to keep us waiting! I love these pictures, though - how great!
I think they are all great!!!
I can't wait to see yours :)
I'll bet your siblings are hating you right now. Great trip down memory lane. Now I want to see your picture.
I love that you said 'most' of you grew out of it LOL!
I am horrified looking through my old pics - like why didn't someone tell me to cut my hair? LOL!
I love nerds.
Oh.my.good.gravy!!! Thats all I can say!
LOL, I LOVE NERDS!
What a "groovy" flashback sequence!
One can not be held accountable for fashion transgressions of the past. I am sure you were just a *victim* too.
I think they look pretty hip and happening if you ask me. But then again, I just used the terms hip and happening, so what do I know. LOL
Great old pics...at least I hope they're old!
You just received an award. Hop on over to my blog. :)
Haha!
LOL!! Those are great!
you little tease ;)
and I used to think the Brady boys were the only ones who could pull off plaid pants. Cant wait to see more! Is that a nightbrace?
I could add to those with my families old pictures! I really love the old school nerd pictures! Great post!
I totally forgot about headgears. My sis wore one...lol! Not me thought. I was not a nerd.
Oh, I can't wait to see you!! LOL!
No way were you the worst! I simply do NOT believe it.
I want to see you :) And I"m still a nerd ..well is that because I wear glasses? Some people seem to think so
Hey....
I heart nerds!
Love these photos. Boy times have changed. Staying tuned for your photo.
Love it! I'm glad I'm not alone in my nerdiness! I cannot WAIT to see your photo!!!! : )
very very nice photos!
thanks for sharing...
Awe! How sweet:) I actually had your sister's G's look!!! I thought at the time, it was pretty good.
OH WOW - those are great pics!
How did you convince them to let you post these, especially without yet even posting your own?!?!
