Pom Camp, Soccer and Crazy London

So we have had a lot going on with school starting, soccer starting, and dance starting for Olivia. I just keep forgetting my camera when we have things to go to so I keep putting off posting about things. Olivia started soccer two weeks ago and today was her first game. Eric is coaching her team and she is having a really fun time. They were given their color but were able to choose their team name - The Green Tigers. Watch out. I wasn't able to go to her game this weekend so when she walked in the door I said - how did you do? Instead of saying we won or we lost she said - they only scored one more than us. Very good way of looking at it, I thought! The first picture is the before and the next is after the game - notice the face is redder and the hair doesn't look quite as good :). So I will keep you all posted as to how the season goes!

A couple of weeks ago Livy did a Pom camp. Not a Cheer camp - a Pom camp. I was told what the difference is - Cheerleaders do cheers and stunts and Pommies dance and cheer. Don't confuse the two! So, Olivia did a camp and went two different Saturdays each for 3 hours and learned a little dance as well as some cheers. Then she was able to cheer and dance at Corona Del Sol High School's first home game. They cheered on the sideline for the first half and then during half time they did a dance with the Pommies. It was televised so we got a little shot of Livy on the news - so exciting. Actually, she wasn't very impressed. She decided it was kind of boring and I agree with her but she may change her mind once she is in High School?. I of course forgot my camera so my friend took pictures and as soon as she emails them to me I will post the cute pics.

Also about Livy, she made Mini Company at Classic Image Dance again. She is really excited to do it and absolutely loves her friends that are in it. They are already getting ready for a Christmas recital this year and for a November competition - so once again we are thrown back into dance - but it isn't a bad thing :).

Okay so my Crazy London is just that - Crazy. She has started saying so many words and she has such a cute, STRONG personality! I am having so much fun with her. Some of my mia maids that babysit for me took some darling pictures of London and I will post them soon. I always have to get my pics from other people because I just don't take pictures and when I do they aren't any good. London is getting so big and has changed so much lately. Some funny things she does/says lately - She likes to say my name as much as she possibly can in a day and it may just drive me over the edge! When she says no she squats down to say it and starts soft and gets louder by the end of the word just to make sure you understand. She follows Livy everywhere and does exactly what Livy does. She loves to "Meem Up" (clean up) and anytime I start to pick something up or put something in the garbage she starts saying, meem up, meem up. Whenever she sees bugs, crumbs, hair on the floor she says Eewwww ( and she kind of growls when she says it). She walks Livy to school in the morning with Eric and if she doesn't get to, it totally ruins her day. Seriously, it takes hours to recover! She wears flip flops and actually keeps them on and when she walks into the laundry room she has to be just like Livy so she kicks them off. Sometimes trying to kick them off is harder than she thinks and she ends up falling over. It is so funny and she thinks she is so big. She says so many funny things but they are not as funny written down, you have to hear them actually come out of her mouth to get the full effect. Okay, I am going to stop now and hopefully soon I will be able to post a bunch of new pictures of London being crazy and Livy doing her Pom camp :).
