2016-05-29 Party Party Party!

Clara: We ended up in Netball Division 1, which is going to be a challenge. We also went to Inflatable World with the netball team, which was fun! I went rollerskating with Aaliyah and Jasmin which was really fun and Daddy and I tried playing table tennis at Picnic Cove with a dodgy ball - not the easiest and it was also getting dark!

Rollerskating with my friends - FUNNY!

Aiysha: I went to 2 parties in one week this week - cool! At Westcoasters, we decided to go in Division 2 as we were getting beaten easily.

Tact was so exciting this year - I was so happy to be put in team 2, but unfortunately, I hurt my back in the first 2 minutes of the first game, and had to sit out the whole weekend! I was devastated, but I still supported the team. It certainly wasn't the same, and I will make it back next year. We actually won our grade, which was amazing, but I desperately wanted to take part.

C: Division 1 will be tough!

S: Shall we take up table tennis?

2016-05-17 Mothers Day!

 
Aiysha: We had a really cool Mother's Day planned! We took Mum out to a mystery breakfast in the Swan Valley where Clara and I had pancakes, Mum and Dad had a cooked breakfast, and after we went to Bells Rapids where we went rock climbing over the rapids! It was loads of fun!

We lost our second grading game, and it rained again! So annoying, but we played okay. I voted that we stay in Division 1 so we can get better and play more competitive teams - I think we can do it!

Clara: I went to watch Daddy play his first tennis match in his tournament - it didn't go quite as smoothly as it could have - he pulled his groin muscle, he hurt his wrist, but even after all that Daddy still managed to pull back from being 1 set down to win 2 sets to one! That was a close one. Well done Dad!

Played the top team in our league today - we did really well, but lost by 8 goals. It was really competitive, and fun to play!

C: Thanks guys for an awesome Mother's Day!

S: Nice to play some competitive, but not too serious tennis finally! Fun!

2016-05-01 State Champion!

 

Aiysha: After battling with my injured back over the past month, I managed to do 1 week training before States - I was so excited, as I had nothing to lose!

I managed to perform pretty well on all apparatus - I came 1st Vault and Beam, 2nd Bars and Floor, and I ended up being State Champion! It felt amazing, and I was so proud of myself! Thank you everyone who helped me get this, and I must look after myself more carefully from now on!

Clara: Aiysha did amazing!

C: So proud of you Paish!

S: What the!?

2016-04-25 The Harveys, Climbing, Yanchep for Anzac Day, Surfing!

 

Clara: We went climbing 2 days in a row at Joondalup Climbing Centre, and my fingers are aching so much!

We are so much better though - we actually started on Level 16!

Aiysha came with us on the second time, and we did bouldering and wall climbing again - it was so much fun, especially when it was pouring with rain outside!

Last night we went for a night time BBQ at Yanchep which was pretty spooky, especially when all the lights went off! Daddy found the timer though and switched them back on. We even had another game of Rummikub, which was funny - Daddy's first win! He's joined the Rummiclub!

So much rain now, I don't think we'll get the photos of the kangaroos on the lake...

Emily and I went in the pool! It was a cool 25 degrees - brrrr!

Aiysha: Went for a picnic at Iluka beach today, and the waves were huge! It was fun though, and nice to go climbing again with Rox and Daddy - Rox is so good!

One week to go before states and netball season! So exciting!

I stayed over at Casey's on Saturday night and made cookies (and accidentally left the gas on!). We went surfing the next day, and I managed to get up once! It was a bit chilly getting in with no wet suit, but once you were in it was fine! It was great fun though!

The Harvey's came to visit, and Joe, Harrison and I went into the city and mooched around on the ferry and in the shops after we could not get into the zoo. It was so much fun, met some dodgy people, and took the train back.

C: Rain!

S: Great climbing Rox and Paish! You'll be doing the difficult climbs in no time!

2016-04-17 Rummikub, Sleepover, Winter is Coming!

Aiysha: Casey had a sleepover after we went shopping, and we watched Team Ninja Warrior - funny! We also went for a walk on our own, and the we prepared for a party at Casey's house!

Clara: I'm learning to play Rummikub!

I had a sleepover at Aaliyah's on Friday night when we came back from Bunker Bay, but I couldn't sleep at all - I was soooo tired the next day.

C: Finally decided on a sink!


S: Our new office looks great!

2016-04-15 Bunker Bay, New Office, Merit Certificate!

Clara: I loved being in Bunker Bay! We did so much climbing up and over rocks, and doing American Ninja Warrior on some walks! On one walk, we actually spotted a shark in the shallow beach area - that was amazing! Tennis on the last day was great! It was on astroturf, and we did a final rally of over 20 shots!

Room tidy! I love tidying my room! I seem to do it a lot quicker than Aiysha - I mean by days!


I got a merit certificate too at the final assembly - wahoo!

Aiysha: I loved going to the gym at Bunker Bay, and Clara and I had some funny sleepovers watching Pretty Little Liars! Daddy tried to gate crash our evenings, but we put up with him. We had some amazing views on our walks, and got some great pictures!

Thanks Watsons for letting us stay there! It was amazing!

Shame I had to clean my room when I got home :-(

C: I loved Bunker Bay - it had some amazing places to visit, and Pullman Resort was not bad at all!

Yummy Nudie orange juice, croissants and baguettes! We tended to go out for lunches, but dinners we made ourselves - we're a very resourceful bunch!

S: We  have moved into yet another office - our 3rd office in 6 months for Burning Fruit, and it is the best in ECUBIC! It use to be a boardroom, and we are so lucky that it was made available.

Bunker Bay was soooo much fun! We went on so many adventures, and even getting a flat tyre in Bunbury was an adventure! Always love Miami Bakehouse...

2016-04-10 Interschool Carnival, Food Festival, Climbing, Dance Night, and BF in Madurah!

 
Clara: Wow, I never thought I would have bounced back like I did in the interschool carnivals! Last year I didn't win any events, and came second for all of them. This year in the long throw, I came first by a long way, and I also won the long jump. Daddy and I did a lot of training for the sprints, and I was so happy to win my sprint against the girls who beat me last year!

We did our assembly, and it was all about bouncing back! Our theme in the assembly was Harry Potter, and how Joanne bounced back from being turned down 11 times!

For my treat, I chose to go to The Hangout climbing centre - it was really good, and it was really hard! We managed to get up to level 16 - I had trouble on the orange ones, and Aiysha and Daddy finally managed to get up the orange run after several attempts. I can't wait to go there again!

I was only one of 25 performers at the Gail Meade dance night, and I did an acro number that Aiysha helped me perform to Counting Stars. I was so proud of myself, and I felt brave that I did the best acro moves on the night!

Aiysha: I am allowed to be back at gym, but only a few routines, and not all of them.

We had a Westcoasters parents vs players night - it was so much fun playing against Dad. At one point, we were both Centers marking each other! I think we matched each other pretty well.

We went out to the food festival in town - it was meant to be a noodle festival, but seemed to have all sorts of BBQ and noodles. Driving in we saw so much lightening, but we luckily didn't have any rain until half way through the festival, and then it absolutely poured down! It was so funny, and at one point we lost Daddy! Clara was really sad, but we soon found him when he rang us in the rain! We ran back to our car, and went home.

It was sooo much fun, and a great adventure!

Great dance Rox! You did so well!

C: While they went climbing, I did DIY! Arthur would be proud!

Stormy and windy! Nice change, but hope it brightens up for our trip to Bunker Bay!

Well done Clara in your dance and your athletics - we are sooo proud of you!

S: Aiysha was belaying me on the climbing wall for the first time! It was so nice to be able to climb again! I just wish my shoes fit!

The food festival was fun - chicken wings, satays, ribs, noodles, sliders - amazing!

Amazing performance Rocky Roo! Shame I got a speeding ticket :-(

Great fun at Julian's place in Mandurah - we had breakfast watching the dolphins and canoed to lunch! Amanzing!
