Subject: Yahoo!! you did it.

Darling Courtney, Dad told me last night that you had been elected as a Student Councillor. What a wonderful achievement!! You must be so proud and I know what a lot of effort you put into your application. It is amazing what can happen if you try hard enough and put every effort into achieving that aim. I told you that this year would be very special so have fun and make many special memories. I know the importance of being willing to accept these special challenges and the wonderful opportunities they can create as you go through life. I am so proud of you. Lots of special love Grandma.

The Great Escape

Tonight we went to the Great Escape for another afternoon of water slides, mini golf and lots of different rides. Again, Dad forgot that Brooke will not eat hot dogs with tomato sauce... so he had to eat two.

Christmas 2010

Christmas 2010 was a great day for the girls. Both the girls got a digital safe (to hide their things from each other), lots of lego, and surfboards.





On boxing day, Brooke wanted to hit the real surf to try out her board in the waves. It was a beautiful day at Mullaloo.

Chloe turns 13

Today is Chloe's birthday - she is now a teenager... a slow, old, smelly teenager but still a very important member of the family. The girls love her very much and she has always been there for them.

This weekend

Yesterday Courtney auditioned for the Australian Youth Choir. We all have out fingers and toes crossed - she has done really well to get to the final selection stage.

The girls and their Mum spent the afternoon at the local Mcdonalds, cleaning cars to raise money with their club/scout group. All the money went to Ronald McDonald House.

Brooke is really getting into cooking. Last night she made Dad a chicken stir fry. She gets mad with Dad when he tries to interfere with her.



On Sunday Brooke and Dad went for a bike ride over to Grandma and Pa's house and we all went out for coffee and/or a milkshake. Brooke has taken to pouring salt onto her wedges - just like Grandma. Dad is not happy.

Visiting Mackenzie

It's been another lazy weekend laying around the house, playing DS and whatnot.

The girls went to town on the weekend and opened a bank account. Hopefully it will help them learn how to save money.

Mackenzie is in hospital at the moment after having an operation on her hips. The girls have had fun visiting and helping catch slatters etc for Mackenzie's bug catcher/viewer.

Hanging About

Tonight Courtney went rock climbing with her friends from the scouts. She has had a pretty big week - not that Brooke has been getting early nights.

Dad is leaving to Cambodia tonight. Brooke hopes he finds lots of gifts. The girls are both forgiving that he is going to be away over Fathers Day.

Massed choir

Tonight CJ is singing at the WA Primary School Massed Choir. Dad is not allowed to take photos, so this is the best he can get.

The Desishion

Courtney has two parties to go to on one day. Now that dose not sound bad at all but their at the same time. Courtney is thinking about going to one and then sleeping at the other.

The Dentist.

The girls and Dad went to the dentist for a clean and a check up. Courtney needs a small filling but she is very hesitant to get it done. Brooke apparently has wonderful teeth? Dad thinks the dentist needs to get his eyes checked - as she is the worst at brushing.

Rare

Today Cameron and McKenzie came to town. Unfortunately James had to go home yesterday for school - otherwise all the grand kids would have been at grandma's house at the same time.
