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.

Hey twin :).......AAAAAAAAAAAAA

Today I met my twin!

Turns out my twin has a mental problem and loves cars........... she wanted to take dads car out for a spin.......... I didn't want to........... then she STOLE dads keys!........ and started the car!!!!!!............ we didn't go far because dad found out and drained all the petrol out of the car. Phew I'm soooooo lucky.............. or am I?!

From Courtney ( made at the hospital )

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.

Swan Lake

CJ's Pancakes

Dad has been relieved of his Sunday morning pancake making chore. Courtney has been passed Nana's pancake recipie and she has now taken over the cooking duties. They are really nice pancakes.

School Athletics

Today was the inter school athletics carnival. Brooke was in a number of events and Mum, Dad and Pa had a lovely time watching.

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.

Wet Bums

Who knew the the slides were wet?... Until they went on them

Simmo's Icecream

Broken Thumb

The other night, the girls and dad were having a tickle war when
suddenly CJ lurched backwards in pain.

Long story short - after a couple of doctor visits and an xray,
Courtney officially has a fractured thumb.

It's not all bad as the weather has turned really bad - at the moment
we're in the Margaret River Tavern, sitting next to the fire, doing a
jigsaw.

Before the Broken Thumb

We did have a great week in Yallingyup!

Painting Dad's House

Dad has started painting his house and the girls wanted to help out - for about five minutes...

Brooke's Broken Toe

Somehow Brooke managed to kick the door of her cupboard whilst running around or similar. The doctor says it is broken. Poor Brooke.

happy easter

Its Easter time and I would like to say hi to all my friends and family and the crane girl users.

 

HAPPY EASTER

 

From Courtney.

Big Storm

Today there was a huge storm in Perth. It caused millions of dollars damage. Just about everyone the girls know has had something damaged. Mum's house flooded, Dad's car is dented, Grandma and Pa's windows got smashed and their aircon blew up.

The girls were at Grandma and Pa's house when the storm came - apparently it was pretty scary, even more so when the windows smashed.

Brooke Turns Eight

Today was Brooke's 8th birthday. She had a wonderful day travelling from house to house gathering up her cuddles and presents. She is having a three day celebration with dinner tonight at Grandma and Pa's, a sleep over/movie party on Saturday and then dinner at Nana and Grandad's on Sunday. A big celebration!

Happy birthday little lady!

Courtney is now cub group leader

I'm so happy,

I have my leader badge and I got my entertainers badge!

I got them last night at cub scouts. I'm going to show them at news today at school.

I also got a leadership certificate from last year. the last time I got it it had the wrong spelling on it. 

I have to go to school now. bye. Courtney  

Courtney gets email

Greetings from Courtney,

 

I'm vary glad to say that I have email and I can post thongs on the site.

I will update all the time and tell you all about me and my sister and the rest of the family.

 

By the new reporter Miss Courtney Crane.

So, What's Going On

The girls are always busy.

CJ is "linking" between Cubs and Scouts at the moment, so she goes two nights a week for the next few weeks. Brooke is getting into being a Cub and is heading on her first camp this weekend.

Courtney has started learning how to play the guitar. Brooke wants to learn how to play the ukulele.

Everyone is worn out from Term 1 already.

More if we think of it.

The Muddle Up

On Sunday Dad drove up to Moore River to collect Courtney and some of her friends from a Scout camp. The only problem being that when Dad arrived, he couldn't find the scouts or their leaders.

For some reason - CJ had told everyone that Dad was in Melbourne... or Margaret River, we're not really sure.

Pa's Birthday

Cub March

Dinosaurs Alive

Great Escape

Xavier turns one

Courtney is down south at the moment with a friend from school, so we expect to hear lots of stories about her adventure soon. Brooke has been busy helping everyone to get ready for Xavier's 1st birthday party. Happy Birthday little man!

Adventure World

Today the girls and Cameron went to Adventure World. It was a great day - although it was busy, the kids all got a chance to have lots of water slides and Brooke had four goes in a row on the roller coaster.

Kalbarri

On boxing day, Dad and the girls went for a week long holiday in Kalbarri. The Mundy clan came a stayed with us for a few days and all the kids had a fantastic time. Courtney and Brooke got a chance to sail a boat as well as drive a dinghy.

It was a really big week for the girls, with lots of swimming and playing. We're already looking forward to the next holiday.
