My 35th Birthday Celebrations

My 35th birthday was so much fun and I was spoilt rotten! With quality time from friends and family. I am so incredibly lucky to have such wonderful people around me!

Emma came over from the UK and we all went for dinner and out for the night, it was Fab!

The weekend of my birthday my friend Aoife took me to Afternoon tea in a vintage Tea Room, oh it was heaven.... amazing!

Look at the vintage cutlery and ornaments and decanter..... it was so beautiful there.

Then when I got home Derek took me away for the to the Ferrycarrig Hotel in Wexford while my parents watched the kids for the night! The food was amazing and I feel so recharged!

This being 35 isn't really so bad! 

Indeed like the luckiest girl in the world!

All Ireland finals 2017

Today we went to support our county in the all Ireland finals. It has been decades since Waterfird so. We were truly hopeful that we would win. Waterford were ferocious, they fought for their county, but ultimately it was Galway who won, but just barely.  It was a phenomenal game.

We had decorated the house during the week with our flags and bunting!

The crowd was huge, I've never been part of a defeaning crowd before, but when Waterford got a goal, it was defeaning!

It was an amazing day, we didn't win but we have never been prouder of our team for getting this far!

Up Waterford!! 

Lauren is back to school

Today was Lauren's first day in third class! Well that just flew by! She's grown so much over the summer! I can't wait to see how much she learns and thrives this year in school. 

This is the first year that Lauren will be in primary school on her own, but she doesn't mind at all! She's made lots of new friends and she's settled in nicely!

Our photo was taken before we did our hair so it's a little messy!!!

First day of Montessori, first day of primary school and third class

Walking in the sand dunes

Today we walked the sand dunes with Sophie, we had a great time. The kids loved walking with us! Love lazy weekends!

Daytrip to Tayto park

We took the kids away for the weekend, we visited Tayto Park. We haven't been to the new theme park since it opened. We stayed in the beautiful Castleknock hotel. We had a really lovely mini break away, since we are going on holidays in October we decided to take day trips instead this summer and it's been lovely! It's been working as Dylan prefers it than going away on a full week these days!

So a few photos from Tayto Park!
