I'm Still Here!

I think I have been a little bit slack with my posting efforts, I haven't posted for a while. (Besides the post about Alice's awesome giveaway).

Now.... just looking back at a few of my last posts... hmmmm..... ok, the last thing I mentioned about hockey was an upcoming game on the water turf. (You guys must be so sick of my going on and on about hockey, sorry but I just can't help myself). We won that game on the water turf 3-0!! And then we played again last Saturday on the grass, although we were unable to finish the game due to a accident on the field. One of the women on the other team tripped over her stick, when she fell she dislocated her knee and then when her knee hit the ground, it popped back into position. She was on the ground in a huge amount of pain and she could not move her leg. The ambulance was called for and the people at the hospital said that she was not to be moved until the paramedic's arrived in the ambulance. You see, in hockey the clock keeps running even if the is an injury, so it being in the second half and my team being ahead 3-0 once again, the other team gave us the win and called the game quits.

The woman who was injured happens to be our friends mum from across the road! So we have been able to keep up to date with how she is going. We were told that she need an operation. So lets just hope everything turns out well. Anyway. Naomi and I are playing hockey this Saturday once again and we are playing another new team. If we beat them, we will have played all the teams in the comp and be undefeated!! It sounds very exciting.

Summer is over and weather is really beginning to cool down. I hate cold weather. But there's nothing I can do about it.

We went to our Senior Cricket presentation a couple weeks ago. It was very exciting. My big brother received the Bowling award and the Players Player award. You can to my mum's blog to have a look at the trophies. My brother was kind of expecting the bowling award, but to receive the players player award was a huge surprise and a great honour. You see the players of the team vote for their favourite team mate, so my big brother was the most popular player! Naomi and I were also mentioned during the presentation for filling in for 3rd grade (men's cricket). I realised that Naomi and I were the only girls to play in the senior club. After the presentation we were also given a voucher to a restaurant which was pretty exciting. I have only ever been to one restaurant.

Well... its lunch time and I'm getting pretty hungry.
I better be off.

?!?!?!?!

I don't know what to post about!!

I guess I'll just post about sport. Coming up to the semi finals in cricket makes each game we play very important. We have one more game to play until the finals, it's making me very nervous. Although we had a great week of cricket this week, in U/14's we absolutly slaughtered them!!! They had to get 178 runs and we got them all out for 15!! That's a huge win, so we went for the outright win, but we fell short of that by two wickets. In U/12's we made 305 runs, (we broke the Junior Cricket Association record!!) I made 25 runs not out. I was very pleased with that, (it's my personal best).

We will be starting hockey in about 2 weeks, (training). Still waiting to find out what grade they want us in.

Now it is a Sunday afternoon and it is so hot outside!!! Thankfully we have an air conditioner. Oh, there is some bad news, THERE'S ANOTHER COLD IN THE FAMILY!!!!! We are doomed!! Ok, its not that bad, but with all the sport and everything, its not good. Please pray that it doesn't go through the family. (We were also planning to go for a holiday next week and its my little sisters birthday next week).

What's Been Happening

Well.... we are back in the swing of things here.

We are starting school work this week. I'm hoping I will get a lot of school work done this year. I am way behind. By the looks of things I'm going to have a lot more work this year, hopefully I won't fall even further behind.

We started cricket again last week. I played U/14's and 3rd grade. In U/14's we played CB, we have only played half the game so far, it is going to be a tough game to win. Naomi and I also filled in for 3rd grade, (that's men's cricket). It was a good game. Naomi and I had the biggest batting partnership out of the whole team, we batted out around twelve overs and Naomi got the second highest score for our team. It was a good cricket weekend.

Yesterday we went to church. Naomi Elise and I were on music with our music leader, but in the morning Elise said that she had a cold that been running through the family, (when one of my brothers or sisters gets a cold, everyone gets it except for my Mum and Dad). So Elise was sick on the morning we were playing, we got up to church to practise, it was all a bit much for Naomi, (Elise is the main musician in our music group, so it made things really hard). Naomi went home and it was just me, our music leader and our drummer, in the end we got another musician so it work out....OK... I guess.

So... about that nasty cold. Everyone has had it or is sick with except for me and my Mum and Dad. I'm trying so hard to eat lots of fruit and vegetables to give me the best chance of not getting the cold. It is working so for, but Naomi has that cold now and I sleep with her. Fingers crossed I don't wake up with a sore throat tomorrow.

We have lately been enjoying the Tennis tournament, the Australian Open. It finished last night. The winners of the women's final was Kim Clljsters and the winner of the men's was Novak Djokovic. (Anyone who has an interest in tennis would probably know who they are).

Well that's pretty much all I have to say.

Signing off.

Aztec Feast!!

Sorry I haven't posted for a few days.

Our Aztec feast went really well. The soup was not nice at all. It was really hot and it had way to much onion in it. So we didn't have much at all.

(Sorry I don't have a photo of the avocado dip). Anyway, the Avocado dip was awesome! We had it with corn chips, salad and some flat bread.

The hot chocolate was a big success. It wasn't perfect but the flavour was really nice. It was just right to finish of the meal.

So that's how our feast went.
