Ice Skating

Ice Skating

Dad was clearly the best skater - once he got enough confidence to go on the ice without his zimmer frame.

No serious stacks and by the end of the two hours we were all skating (in one format or another) pretty well.

More Sleepovers

This weekend Courtney is on a young women's camp with her friend. Brooke had a sleep over birthday party on Friday night and then she had a friend sleep over on the Saturday night. They will both be needing the long weekend to get over it all

Best on Court

Today Brooke played the Goal Keeper role for her netball team for the first time. She was not really keen to try a defense position but she did really well.

Although the team did not win, Brooke was deemed best on court by the umpires.

Annabelle

The girls have a brand new 'puppy'. Annabelle is three years old, she did not have enough room to run around at her old house so she has moved in with the girls.

Annabelle is part kelpie and part greyhound.

CJ took her for her first walk - and they both got soaked in the rain.

Rottnest Scout Camp

This weekend Courtney had a scout camp on rottnest island.

Courtney's Braces Go On

Brooke's Cub Camp

This weekend Brooke has been away on a cub camp - for the senior cubs only. Brooke was the only one from her group that went on the camp but she took it in her stride and had a great time making new friends.

Cooking Night

Tonight Brooke made a banquet in an effort to get her 2nd Cub cooking badge. She had to make a 3 course meal so she made quinoa salad, Thai soy chicken rice and vanilla cup cakes.

Out of the three dishes, Brooke ate one - the cup cakes. The other two dishes almost raised tears in getting her to taste them.

Happy 13th (phase one)

No Idea

Happy Easter

Mary Poppins

They've set up camp

We hear it is hot in Sri Lanka but the Scouts are having a good time swapping badges and meeting new people.

Sri Lanka

Courtney is currently in Sri Lanka for a Scout camp. She flew to Malaysia on Friday and then over to Sri Lanka this morning. According to Brooke, Mum is 'stalking' her on the internet because she is constantly checking for updates on Facebook and by other media.

Although CJ has not phoned in as yet - we are able to track her contingent via the internet which is giving Mum and Dad some level of comfort.



We hope Courtney has lots of information to blog about when she gets back.

CJ's Adventure Begins

She's all set, checked in and waiting.

Brooke's 10th Birthday

Brooke has turned ten. She was spoilt rotten and received an Ipod Touch from Mum and Dad as well as some other great gifts from the family.

For her party Brooke chose to have a sleep over party on Friday night, inviting Tara and Louise. The girls ate home made pizza and assorted junk food all night. They all stayed up well past midnight giggling and chatting.



On the Saturday the girls went for a trail ride followed by a horse grooming lesson. It is fair to say Brooke's desire for horses is not fading with 'old age'. That afternoon the girls decorated cup cakes and had a play at home. A really big weekend with some lovely friends for Brooke.

Happy Birthday Brooke

MacKenzie Visits

Mackenize has come to visit Grandma and Pa. This morning she had a great time making craft things and dress ups with Courtney.
