2010-07-19 Bells Rapids

Aiysha: This weekend was really funny. We drove up to Bells Rapids and watched all the kayaks coming down practicing for the Avon Descent, and we were watching them fall in. We made guesses as to who would fall in and who would not, it was funny. When ever anyone fell in they got claps from the crowd. We sat on the rocks in front of them, and gave claps when they got through without falling in.
The World Cup Football finally finished, and Spain won it. We got up early to watch it at 6am, since Daddy recorded it. I loved watching the world cup! Next year it is the Rugby World Cup, and I can’t wait!
I’m not looking forward to going back to school  I love being on holiday with Roxy and Mummy!
Roxy Ann: I got a new laugh – Daddy says I laugh like a gecko! It is funny!

C: What a lovely morning at Bells Rapids – we need to get out more often!

S: Bells Rapids were a great laugh. Claire was worried about our car getting stuck in a ditch :-)

2010-07-05 I am 8!

Aiysha: I am 8 years old! I do feel like a big girl, and I had my party at High Flyers! Again I invited Hannah Banana over for a sleepover, and it was so much fun! She is my best friend.

The football World Cup has started, and I get newspapers everyday from school to look up the teams that are playing and what groups they are in. Mr. D ordered them in for us. One newspaper pretty much fills up my bag!

I had the best birthday ever! I go so many Smiggles stuff (which I also gave to Clara), and I got loads of stuff from the family – Thank You all! I’ll be busy writing you all thank you notes, so watch out!

Hannah came round on the Saturday, and we went for the coldest game of golf at Leapfrog ever! It was freezing, and we were so late for our table. We all did pretty well though, and it felt like a true Winter’s day. We were back pretty late, and we got ready for bed, even though Hannah and I were so excited. Hannah slept on the floor again next to my bed, and we woke up the next morning with Clara to play DS and watch TV. What a cool birthday! We watched Trapped, which Hannah had not seen before.

We had loads of things to bring to High Flyers, and Daddy did a special CD of all the songs I have listened to in my life so far – it is a very good one! We played it all the way through my party, which was so cool. Katy was in charge of my party since Tony was not well. We did free play, trampolines, the parachute, and then more free play. It was so much fun, and I made sure that my sister did not miss out! I made sure I looked after her, and she had a great time. We then had our party food upstairs, and everyone sang happy birthday. I was so happy! When we got home, I started handing my presents from the party out for different people to open, so everyone was involved. It was great, and it wasn’t even my birthday yet!

Unfortunately, Beck came to pick Hannah up, and I will miss her! It was great to see her, and hopefully we will see each other soon. She may even join High Flyers…

The following Sunday, we decided to go up to Yanchep for an early morning walk – it was lovely! We walked right around the lake, played hide and seek, had some snacks, and Roxy and I played a trick on Mummy and Daddy – Roxy lost her pink fluffy jacket, and me and Roxy went to the office to find it, and when we walked down, I hid it behind my back, and Mummy got really worried, and I suddenly brought it out from behind my back, and laughed so much  Daddy is not the only one who can play tricks.

Roxy Roo: My sister and I are besties! She looks after me so much – at her party, when we go out. I can be a little mean to her, but I love her so much!

C: My holiday is almost over, and I will be starting my course at the end of July! Oh no!

S: I loved the walk around Yanchep park – the birds were amazing! Swarms of them!

2010-06-15 Sleepover and World Cup!

Aiysha: Wow, I just had the best weekend! I cannot believe how much fun we had!

On Saturday, I was invited to Florry's party at Wild Kids. Clara also sneaked in, and we had a really funny time. We had a game of Cluedo during lunch, and I guessed 2 right, but Mummy guessed none! Daddy also had 2 right, so we both won. We then went to pick Joseph up from his house, and go and watch the sunset. We were a little late for the sunset, so we went in the dark, played catch, and looked at the most beautiful sky and the calm sea - it was really fun! We tried to play leapfrog, but when I tried to jump over Daddy, he fell over and my face went right into the sand - I was brave though.

We came back, and we had home made pizza and chicken wings, which I could not stop eating! They were so nice! Joseph did not like them that much, but had some garlic bread. We then stayed up late playing Crash Bandicoot and Club Penguin! It was so funny! Joseph slept on my floor, and we stayed up talking and laughing for ages - I wished time would slow down as I love having him around.

On Sunday, we work up extra early and played on my DS. Daddy watched Australia beat England at rugby, and then we had pancakes, which were yummy! We then planned to ride to Scenic Park, so Caroline brought round Joseph's bike, and we set off. Joseph and I were both pretty tired, but we still played catch when we got there. Also, I learned a new trick for gym - handstand straight into splitz without my feet touching ground! I am so proud. When we got back, we had some lunch, then Daddy then set up an obstacle course around Ridge Close, and Luke came round. That was fun. We then played Crash Bandicoot again. Joseph left at around 4, and I was absolutely exhausted! I lay on the couch, almost fallign asleep, but Daddy made Arthurs Beef, which was the nicest ever!

Last week we went to celebrate my Gym Badge Test at the nicest Italian place called Lo Zuccherro - the pizzas were so nice, and Mummy and Daddy could not stop saying 'Mmmmm' at their food. It was really crowded, and we had to sit outside for a while, but then we got seats inside, and it was lovely and warm.

We went down to the river to play at Heathcote Park (the one with the ship), but it was under renovation! Instead, we went to pick up Jellies! How cool was that!

Not long before my birthday now...

Clara: I love going to all of Aiysha's parties! It is so fun! I also love all of Aiysha's friends, they make me laugh so much. I am swimming really well at the moment, and I love my gymnastics! I think I am Tony's favourite!

I also did a dance especially for Grandma and Grandad in our new games room! It was funny!

Daddy and I have a new game called slaps - I get to slap his hand, and he tries to move it out of the way. I think I am too quick for him.

C: Aiysha's badge test was great! I am so proud of her!

S: It has been a beautiful winter so far...a touch of English summer about it!

We may pick our first mandarin of our tree this week!
