Brooke was very impressed with herself, getting all the questions right on her extra homework, just using an atlas!
I'm getting better at spelling this week! Thanks to Mrs Manning and Mrs Broadway!
 
Today, Brooke went to a party at the awesome park. THANKS FOR INVITING BROOKE, TARA! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

(see, i can update on the day something happens!)

New Week, New Friends

Last weekend, Brooke went to a party went to Thomas' party. A slushy maker and DJ all night (untill 6:30) sounded like a great party!
 
Brooke and I have both made new friends. Brooke met, Tara, Louise and many more. (sorry if i spelt somones name wrong.)
Courtney has new friends, Dale and Jian, both massive fans of DW. (Doctor Who.)
 
This week, Courtney has found ot what lots of homework means, and Brooke found out what extra homework means. I guess getting older does that to you.
Anyway, the girl still love school, (lets see how long it take for me to stop writing that.) and are having fun with both, new and old friends!

First Week

THE WEEK HAS BEEN HARD AND PAINFUL. MANY SOLIDERS HAVE FALLEN...
 
NOT!!!!! This week was great! Both Courtney and Brooke have enjoyed themsleves greatly! (I KNOW, the updates are very late! Stop asking ill do it in a second!)
 
Even though the week was two weeks ago, we will always remember it like it was yesterday... i just can't remember it now!
This is the cause of not writing more often!

SCHOOLS BACK: FINALLY!

Yes you read the title right! School is back for twenty twelve! (nothing much happened on New Year so there is no update.) All the sleep overs are...over, with Year 5 for Brooke, and High School for Courtney!   I wonder what happened...
 
What happened:
 
COURTNEY: When I got to school we went to from and lernt about the school rules, no gum, phones off and out Of sight, ect.
We wrote our time table in our diary, then we went to our frist class.  
The day was eventful and hard but now i think i can get to class on time. (I hope) High School is awesome! :D
 
 
BROOKE:Hi CJ did the talking today so I will have to find something to talk about. Sorry for not writing. School is good but I'm not good at spelling. I have Mr Hoblle for my teacher. The holidays were cool I went horse riding but the holidays are over and school is in. It's a harsh class and the teacher is way too fast but I try to look at the bright side and then I dont get too frastrated with myself but if I didn't I probably be really angry.The good side is we do heaps of things on the computers.And that's all. Thanks for reading.
From Brooke.
 
The girls both love school and are very busy with home work.

A Very Overdue X-mas Update:)

Christmas was a great event! With O'briens at Grandma and Pa's house, and Xaiva at Nana and Grandad's, the day was awesome!
 
The day started with, Courtney opening her massive Doctor Who, framed photo from santa! (thanks big guy) and Brooke with her, very awesome, new Wii game, Spiro Scylanders. She was very impressed with the concept of the game and the storyline. (on the last level now!)
 
At the grandperents, everyone loved lunch, (thank you grandma and helpers!) and loved every present they got! Brooke got a new remote racing car, Courtney, meanwhile, with an amazing new braclet from Sea World!
 
Nana and grandad, cooked and awesome dinner, and had more than a whole army could eat! Courtney loved/loves her red telephone box and helicopter, While Brooke had a ball with her red helicopter as well!
 
Over all, the day was... awesome and full of fun.
High expectations for next year...

Brooke's Trial Ride

After a few false starts, today Brooke has her first ever real horse ride. In the past, she has been lead around by someone but today she went for a 90 minute trail ride, during which she even managed a few trots.

It is fair to say Brooke's passion for horses has grown.

The Bumpy Staircase

The girls are on holidays in Busselton and one of the best things about the accommodation is the staircase. The girls have always wanted to live in a house with stairs - but we're not sure they would last long like this without hurting themselves.

Do you think Brooke's worried about Dad's driving skills

Courtney's Guitar Recital

Today at school, Courtney and the other students from her guitar glass played for the whole school.

Courtney Gets a Quad Helix


Courtney is going to get braces on her teeth in time. Her dentist says that before she can get the braces he needs to push out to roof of her mouth. Courtney has had a "quadhelix" installed is sprind loaded and over time will make the roof of her mouth wider.

She says it doesn't hurt that much?!?!
