Joondalup Esteddfod

Courtney Plays the Eisteddfod

Today CJ performed her first solo performance. She played guitar and sang an Alex Day song, Holding On at the Joondalup Eisteddfod.

Courtney was really brave and hardly missed a beat. We think the adjudicator was happy to see something new and different. We have no doubt CJ will be back next year... in fact Brooke is working hard to get her guitar playing skills up too

New Hair Cut

Courtney has been sporting a new hair style for the last month or so - she loves it!

Academic Award

Last week Courtney received an academic award at school. She is a little bemused as to why because she feels she is just doing what the teachers ask her to.

Lego Day

Brooke has been a little unwell of late. Today Dad got back from holiday and bought with him a Lego present. Brooke got to spend a nice quiet day, constructing her new kit.

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.
