2014-12-25 Merry Christmas Everyone!

Clara: Santa was so cool, and his helpers gave Aiysha and I so many cool things! Thanks Santa!

I woke up at 5, and it was soooo boring waiting for everyone else to get up! Daddy even went back to sleep for a bit, but I decided to tickle his ears to keep him awake. Tee hee!

We brought Santa's stockings into Mummy and Daddy's room, and opened them there when Aiysha finally woke up! I was so excited! I love it! We then headed out to the lounge and opened a few presents there. Aiysha then made us pancakes, and we had a yummy breakfast before we headed to the beach, which was lovely but a bit crowded. Daddy went for his run, and didn't pull his calf - yippee! We then all went body boarding, which was fun!

We decided not to have lunch, but have our Christmas dinner on the top terrace at 4pm. It was fun. We then carried on opening some more presents until we settled down for the evening to watch some of our favourite shows - American Ninja Warrior!

It was such a fun, relaxing day! I loved it.

Aiysha: Thanks Santa, you're pretty cool!

We got loads of stuff from all of the family - thank you so much!

C: Merry Christmas everyone! Another beach Christmas for us!

S: You know where that's gonna get you Roxy Roo! Lovely Christmas! Merry Christmas you guys!

2014-12-24 Adventure World, Smokey's Teeth, Casey and End Of Term!

Clara: We had such an awesome time at Adventure World this year! Seems like we go every year on Christmas Eve, but this year it was perfect. We went on all the water rides we liked, had lots of snacks, and Daddy got to go on The Abyss twice! He really enjoyed that. He spent all day trying to get Hannah, Aiysha and me to go on it, but we all refused. He even tried to ask Mummy, but she got annoyed with him. Daddy even got told off for wearing a necklace on one of the slides! My favourite ride was The Tunnel of Terror - it was really scary! The weather was perfect all day, and it wasn't too hot or too cold. We got to have ice creams and donuts too, and Aiysha had a chance to do some gymnastics. Hannah, Aiysha and I went to the baby part for a while, which was fun, although it was closed for a bit because someone did a naughty accident in the baby pool. Ew!

An amazing thing happened to Smokey last week. He lost his two front teeth! Annalise said she had only ever seen this in one other rabbit, and is not common at all! Now that they have fallen out, he is so much happier! We were worried that someone had dropped him, but they hadn't. Phew!

I can't believe it is the end of Year 2! I loved it, and I am going to miss Mrs. Bruce so much - she was great, and so kind!

On the last Friday, I had to go with Daddy to all his meetings - it was pretty fun, and I got to tell him off a couple of times. We went to Leapfrogs where I met Julian's family Duyen and MJ, and we went round playing mini-golf. It was fun!

Aiysha: We met Hannah pretty much straight away, and we had such a fun time with her. It was funny when she beat Daddy at the mats race. She almost went on the Abyss with Daddy, but in the end she was smart and said no. I love going on Christmas Eve, it was not that crowded, and was so much fun! I especially like the donuts :-)

This year was great, and I am pretty happy with how things went. I was pretty sad to miss the last couple of days of school and miss the parties, but this week was fun being of school while some of my friends and Roxy were at school. A lot of me time!

Casey also came over for a sleep over, which was loads of fun! We watched Source Code, a Daddy movie, and it was actually quite good! Casey and I went shopping the next day too at Lakeside while Roxy went with Daddy to his meetings - funny! I'm glad I didn't!

Duyen and MJ came round while Daddy has his meeting with Julian, and we went into the pool - MJ is sooooo cute! She was funny!

C: I love The Tunnel of Terror too Rox!

S: Ah! The Abyss! Amazing fun! Bit lonely though :-(

2014-12-16 Awards Galore, Dance Show, Club Comp

 

Clara: I had my Christmas Dance, and I have been looking forward to it all year! I was in 4 dances, and I was chosen to do my special acro skills in them! It was an amazing evening, and I loved it. Right at the end, I got called out as I had won a prize for most improved acro this year - I didn't even know I was going to get it! I was so proud.

Aiysha: Clara is not the only one who can win prizes this week! I had an awards evening in Mater Dei, and it was a special evening for presenting the best students in the year. I didn't really know what I was being awarded, and I made sure I didn't tell Mum and Dad. In the end, it was Outstanding Achievements in Sport for the whole year! I couldn't believe it, and neither could Mum or Dad or Clara! I was pretty pleased.

On Saturday I had my Club Comp at High Flyers, and I came second, between Amanda and Grace, which was pretty cool. I did my back flip on the beam, but fell off on a simple jump! That was pretty disappointing. We had the awards in the evening, but in the afternoon I helped Clara get her round-of back sault, which she did! Amazing! I also managed to have an accident on my ankle, and it swelled up so badly we thought I had broken a bone!

We went back to High Flyers for the awards, and I actually won the Justis Titterton Merit Award for coming back from my ankle injury! Funny how that evening I would end up in hospital for x-rays for another ankle injury! Turns out it was okay though.

I finished a week early compared to Clara, which is nice. I had to miss the last 2 days of school because I was ill, which was disappointing as we had lots of parties.

I loved this year - it was hard, but I had a great time!

C: Well done girls - you are amazing!

S: When I was in school, I won loads of prizes...you must take after me, eh?

2014-11-30 Night of the Notables, Wanneroo Show, Tennis

Aiysha: Our gifted and talented class put on an evening event - The Night of the Notables, an evening where everyone in the class had to dress up and be someone famous and give a speech about that person. I really didn't like the idea, but ended up having a great time. I dressed up as JK Rowling - what a surprise, and Daddy filmed it without me knowing. At the end of my speech, only one person had a question, and guess who it was - DADDY! He asked 'Which Harry Potter movie did Ron get splinched?'. I ignored him, and ignored him, and ignored him. It was really funny. We all had to bake something for the audience too, and I made lightening shaped cookies. The best food was then salsa and the strawberry dipped chocolate fountain! It was amazing!

We had mango pancakes for the first time this summer, and we went in our pool - Summer is finally here!

Clara: I have been to tennis so many times over the last couple of weeks, and my backhand is going sooo well! I am so excited to show Mummy how well I can play tennis now!

Last week I went to Aaliyah's and stayed the night - we had home made pizza's, and the next day we went to Adventure World! It was so much fun, but it was a bit chilly!

We've been having dress rehearsals for our Dance Show, which is next week.

I also learned how to make bracelets like Daddy - I made one for myself, Daddy and Aiysha of all different colours.

C: Aiysha was soo poised, it was great to see. Very proud!

We've reor

S: Clara's backhand and forehand are amazing!

I finally planted our second mango tree - next to the mailbox in place of the lavender which was transplanted to a pot out to the back.

Mango season is here!
