web.me8 already, where do the years go… he’ll be an old man soon…🧓
But let’s enjoy the younger years while we can, and that’s exactly what we did. Off to the Ninja Dome it was this year, aka Bounce and Beyond. Foam pits, gladiator games and some really cool VR games…🎮
Great location to let 20 kids run wild…!
Alice and Glenn Finally Tie the Knot…!
It only took 20 years, so we supposed it was finally time to take the plunge and got married. Vegas was the venue and what a time…👰🤵
A small enough wedding party in attendance, but everyone else able to watch live at home as it was streamed on the web. Very emotional, for lots of reasons, but well worth the wait.
From Vegas it was off to the Caribbean for a 2-week cruise… what a trip…
Will post some pictures over in the Wedding Gallery
So after Carlos’ twins (Danny & Dean) at the start of the year, we then had Bobby in August, and now we have some more news of another Baby…!
We won’t name who it is just yet but it is exciting! More kids for the camping trips in the coming years, keep it up girls… 😉
Will update soon…
This time we’re not talking about bikes, no, this is a REAL addition to the family, Baby Bobby. He’s a little (big, 54cm long!) bundle of joy 🙂
Coming in at 8lb, 1oz and 54cm long, that’s a good size baby. Both baby and mother are doing well, as is Tori…
Here’s the first picture of the little fella. More updates as he grows 🙂
So Jordan had his debs this year, all grown up now, time for him to get a job I think and start paying his way! No, it’s off to college for him now, after that he can pay us back 🙂
He and Gina looked really well and I believe they had a great night.
Well it’s been a long time coming (30 years in fact…), but the day finally came and Alice celebrated her 30th birthday a couple of weeks ago. She really had no idea that her mam was planning a surprise party, she thought she was going to get away with a night out with the girls. However there was work going on in the background to get a night to remember setup. Her friends managed to get her to Murray’s bar on the night where the rest of her friends and family were waiting to surprise her. It turned out to be a great night and I think Alice was really happy with the outcome.
On top of this was all the great presents she got for her birthday too, perfume, clothes, money and even a trip to Las Vegas, how lucky is she…?
Lots of photos over in the gallery, see link under Summer 2014.
Lots of birthdays this year, it seems like everyone in our family had one at one stage or another 🙂
Three that we captured on camera were Skye’s, Greg’s and Tori’s. They all had nice cakes and Tori managed to get a new (well maybe not new), but a re-vamped bike, see pics below, you wouldn’t think this was a Kawasaki would you…?
Still some more birthdays to go this year though, including mine 🙂
So it seems that I am not the only one to get motorbikes as presents on my birthday, Philip got this lovely Triumph for his birthday from Nicole this year. There was a good story behind it too, Philip had his eye on this bike for a while but the shop had told him they could not sell it to him as the original owner was taking it back. However Nicole had secretly arranged with John to get the bike for Philip. What a girl…
She got the bike dropped to the house while Philip was in work and then rang to get him to come home for his lunch. A nice surprise was waiting in the garden for when he arrived!
Here’s the bike –
10 already, where are the years going! No more single-digit birthdays now Tori…
Well a nice surprise was waiting for Tori on the morning of her birthday, she got tickets to go and see 1-D in Croke Park next year. She’s a lucky girl…!
Not only that but she got brought out with her cousins for her birthday, and her mam brought her out and bought her lots of lovely new clothes, and to top it all of Nicole and Philip got her a new iPad Mini!
How lucky is she???
Pics in the usual place here…
Well Tori turned 9 this week, where does 9 years go…! It was a trip on the Viking Splash this year (she even got to drive it!) and then on to TGI’s. We managed to get a great day for it. She had lots of her friends there to make it a really Happy Birthday.
I hope you enjoyed it Tori…
We have put some pictures up from the day, click on the link for Tori’s 9th Birthday under April 2013 here.
Obviously we all had birthdays this year but in our house we had some good ones. Recently Alice, Tori and I celebrated ours.
Alice = 27 (getting old…)
Tori = 8 (where does the time go)
Glenn = 30 (still feel the same as I did when I was 21 though!)
Alice celebrated her birthday in style and had a few drinks with her friends and that, Tori got to go roller-skating in the roller-disco with a couple of her friends, and seen as though it was a special one for me (big 30) I got something really nice 🙂
See pictures below. Can’t wait for next year’s birthday to see what that brings…!
As Tori turned 7 on Saturday, we saw a new addition to the family. See picture of the little one below! But the presents didn’t come easily, there was work to be done in finding them. It was a treasure hunt Jack Sparrow himself would have been proud of. Tori and Casey had to put on their thinking caps to figure this one out. On the treasure map there were coded messages, spoof treasure finds and clue after clue that eventually led to the booty.
Well done girls, you are now honorary pirates…
See more pictures here. See link for Birthdays, there’s loads of them.
