2015-07-19 Great Netball Win, Kings Park!

Clara: We won our 3rd game of the season against a team who has not lost all season! It was 16-6, so we smashed them! I didn't get a chance to play attack, but everyone else shot really well. We were very happy!

When we dropped Aiysha to watch a gym comp with her friends, Daddy and I went to Kings Park just for fun. We played tree golf, hide and seek, guess the occupation and some gym work! It was fun!

Aiysha: Went to watch the girls gym comp, then an international gym comp in the evening. It was fun!

C: Great game Roxy! Well done! End of school holidays now...booo!

S: Lost at Connect 4 badly to Aiysha. Not happy.

2015-07-17 Tilly M'Tilly, Ferguson Valley, School Holidays

Clara: Matilda came over to visit us from Adelaide, and it was great! She even had a sleep over! We played a bit of netball to start with, then Mummy took us rollerblading. After rollerblading, we went to my Rebels netball training and Matilda joined in. A Dad from the other team marked Matilda, and promised he would not intercept the ball - he didn't keep his promise!

We came back and made pizza's for dinner which were lovely! At bedtime we kept on running around, and we had a big pileup on the couch on top of Daddy! It was funny! We fell asleep around 10.30pm.

We woke up and watched a bit of TV, then did a dance routine with acro. We showed the Mums, then Matilda had to go. I was a bit sad, but it was great to see her!

We then had to go for our injections for Vietnam, which made all our arms ache! Daddy managed to miss it - he was scared! After that we went to Storm to get Aiysha's gym outfit - she got 3 leotards! Wowzer!

Aiysha: I got 3 amazing leotards at Storm - thanks guys for my birthday present!

We went for 2 nights to Ferguson Valley - it was a lot of fun! Our house was very basic and old, but it had a fire. It even had a toilet outside! Brrrrrrrr! The first night we didn't realise all the windows were open, and it was soooooo cold!

Daddy went for a run the first morning, and Clara and I went for a run in the evening Daddy saw some kangaroos, and we saw a wild echidna! It was awesome! We even took a picture!

We played two board games while we were away - Family Feud, and we learned how to play Risk on the original board. It was really funny, and Clara ended up killing everyone!

Daddy almost fell in a waterfall - was funny and scary at the same time! He had trouble getting back over to us too, and had to climb a lot of rocks to get back.

We went for lunch at a winery one day, and they had a super cool dog who joined in with all out piggy in the middle games! He even rescued the ball once when it went down towards the river!

C: Had a lovely evening out at Linda's - Caroline, the boys, and the Shepherds were there and it was great to see them.

Lovely winery for lunch!

S: I cannot believe I found the original Risk board! I can't believe that Clara won the very first game too! Very disappointed.

2015-07-09 Reports! End of Term!

Clara: I think I got a pretty good report this term! I was really pleased with the comments.

Daddy took Aiysha and I climbing this week - Aiysha was not bad considering she hadn't done it for a while, and got to level 18. I got to level 16, one level above the last time I climbed - I was so pleased! We also climbed on the new wall where we didn't need ropes - I got to my targets, but Aiysha did not :-)

Aiysha: We won first netball game this week! We celebrated like we had won the league - it was such a relief, and we were sooo happy!

I don't like tidying....anything!

C: It got down to 1 degree today! Brrrrrrr! Get the fire going! We tidied rooms and the games room, much to the disgust of Aiysha!

Went for a little walk along the river in the Swan Valley

S: Had a dreadful game this week at basketball - lost by 40 points. The were just too good!

Dad ended up in hospital this week with a heart attack - will see how it goes.

Julz back - awesome!

2015-06-27 We made history! I am a teenager!

Clara: Amazing - we made history by winning the Interschool cross country! It was such an amazing feeling, and when we realised, the whole school went crazy! When we arrived back, the whole school was out of class celebrating on the lawn with musical instruments and everything! Mr Gray rang Daddy especially to tell him - Daddy could not believe it!

It was a good day for everyone at Edgewater.

In other news, I ran a really good race and came second to someone who does little athletics, and our year came first! We got a trophy, and our picture got put in the school newsletter.

We tried a new fish an chips place along the coast - apparently one of the best in WA! It was nice though :-)

Aiysha: I had my party at bounce - I invited Casey, Clara, Aaliyah, Violana and Sophie (who came later). Bounce was great fun, although we didn't do too well on the dodge ball. Us big girls then went to Hillary's for dinner where we tried to chat to a good looking guy at Boost! Rejected!

We came back for a sleepover in the games room, and finally got to sleep at around 12am. Not bad, but it was great fun!

A couple of weeks ago, we went to watch Casey at her Karate grading - she was doing it with a dislocated elbow, but she was so brave she got through it all, and managed it! Well done Casey! Don't think I would like to do it though...scary stuff!

C: Great party, great bunch of girls!

S: I'm not great at dodge ball :-(
