Pomeroy Chaos: December 2010

The Trio Is Back...

The trio of Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach that is! The kids wanted to be the Super Mario Bros characters again this Halloween, and of course, I had no objection to not buying new costumes! Well, Maya got a new costume because there was an actual Princess Peach costume at the stores this year, but I didn't have to buy all three kids new costumes.

Silly kids!

Emma was the CUTEST butterfly!

At one of the festivals we went to, I gave Emma a lollipop and she LOVED it! It's so much fun being the aunt!

Camden turns 8!

Camden celebrated his 8th birthday in October!

The typical morning wake up - I sure wish I was a better singer!

Seems like it was a birthday year of "big"/family gifts. Braeden got the pool and Maya got Bella.

Camden's "big" gift was a kid/family computer

My sweet kiddos

Maya's Bible Presentation

As you may remember from last year our church has a bible presentation every year for 1st graders. It's a really special event where the kids get to walk across the stage in front of the church and are presented with their very own bible. After Camden received his last year, Maya and Braeden couldn't wait to get their very own bible. Braeden will have to wait until next year, but Maya got hers a couple months ago.

Walking across the stage

So proud of you Maya!

Sports. Sports. And More Sports.

I don't consider myself a sports fanatic necessarily, but I did grow up playing many sports. And I loved it. So, it's not unusual to me that my children are involved in many sports. I don't feel like I push them to play (as some might think) but I do encourage them to get involved in activities. We're involved in church, school activities, and many other things as well. We're just a family on the go. Always moving. Almost always doing something. So, it's no real surprise that after spring baseball last year, the kids went into summer swim lessons, fall baseball AND fall soccer (that was a bit much - but that was me not being able to tell Camden no). And now they're all three playing winter basketball. For now, being the family on the go works. Only time will tell if I'm singing that same tune 5 years from now! :)

Baseball... How could I tell this kid no?!

Soccer... This was a really fun season! I moved Braeden up an age group and they all 3 got to play on the same team. Braeden was definitely smaller than all of the other kids, but he played really well and held his own. It'll make him a tougher player right!?! ;-)

I love this picture of all 3 of them!
