YAY and a new segment

YAY It's my birthday and I'm turning 12. I have been looking at all the crane girls entrees from 2004 and we used to write one nearly everyday!

So now that I'm "the big one two," I will try to write AMAP. (as much as possible.) Also, Brooke asked me what an education was a week ago

I got very upset with her but that's went I decided to make a new segment on the Crane Girls: Rules Of Life.

Courtney(12) 

Whats up:

On Sunday, Dad, Mum, Brooke and I went to Hillary's Boat Harbor for 'Mum's Birthday Lunch.'

We had very good milkshakes but mum is a little bit worried because Brooke seems to be allergic to

something... But she is ok. Oh, and not to mechen, MY BIRTHDAY IS ON THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!!!!

Have a great last week of school.

.Courtney.

Happy Birthday Brooke

Today Brooke turns 9 years old.

She has been shopping with Auntie Kirstie and Nana and received a lot of wonderful presents - spoilt as always.

Tonight she is having a sleep over with a few friends.

Nana took Brooke shopping for a present and she bought two necklaces with one half of a heart charm on each chains. Brooke gave the other have of the "best friends forever" charm to her sister.

An 9.0 magnitude earthquake near Sendai, Japan triggers a 10 meter high tsunami. Together they kill thousands of people. The Fukushima nuclear power plant is severely damaged causing leaks of radiation.

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.

Checkers at the Dome

The girls bought Dad a multi game set for Fathers Day last year. Today we went down the Dome Cafe and played checkers and cards over a milk shake.

Kalbarri

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.

Fashion Twins

Donnybrook

Over the weekend Dad and the girls went down to Donnybrook. We caught up with the Hutchy and Pembo families and went to the Cider Factory.

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.
