Madison
This is
This kid is so much fun; she
is hilariously funny, extremely energetic and loud, loves an adventure and best
thing of all she is very loving, on her terms though!
Her computer she loves her
computer! YouTube is her thing, she watches many different things on there and
some pretty weird stuff too. Like, kids role playing with toys, sports mascots,
those funny people who like to dress up in animal costumes, she loves them!
Theme parks, how puppets are made. Once she was watching a documentary on how
fish have babies in a hatchery. The list goes on…
Little TV (portable dvd
player) she carries it every where! Movies, she has a bookcase full of movies. Madison
Dogs any type of dog, she
loves all animals she would have them all living at our house if she could.
Movie world, we go every
year and she also looks this up on YouTube too. She desperately wants to go to Disneyland ; it’s on our wish list, one day, when we are feeling
brave!
Anything Disney, Looney
toons, ABC kids, old school cartoons, muppets, puppets etc
The beach!!!
We are so very proud of
this little girl she rocks our world, literally!!
Jaimee
Jaimee Isobel, she is ranked 2nd on the chaos maker list.
This girl has a wicked
sense of humour granted it is quirky, we love quirky but this kid makes us laugh, a lot. She is
a sweetheart with a beautiful soul, very caring and a bit to responsible for a
girl her age! A real perfectionist to the point of being too perfect, a very
literal thinker, she will tell you how it is and doesn't hold back. She is my go to geeky girl for all things computers and iphones.
This
is Ad, I’m not sure were he is ranked on the chaos maker list, maybe more on
the insane maker list sometimes when there are no waves! He definitely isn’t a
tinkering, fix it kinda bloke and he doesn’t like to hang out in the shed at
all, boo!
Don’t
get me wrong Adam is as blokey as they get, he is a Queenslander for god sake! Swears like there is no tomorrow, thinking it has something to do with the industry he is in!
Ad would just prefer to be doing other stuff that involves adrenalin or the
couch.
Steph
Jaimee is very very clever
and will out wit you so don’t even go there unless you are prepared for a
battle. She is kind of a fad girl, likes something so passionately but then in
2 weeks she is over it. This young lady is very loyal and will always be
willing to help if you need her too.
The stuff Jaimee is into …
Computers, IPods & iphones.
Minecraft, Sims, Wizard
101
FaceBook, YouTube, Skype,
Instagram etc.
Girly stuff, hair, make
up, nail polish, clothes, fashion, music, magazines, friends & BOYS!!
Hunger games, Pretty
little liars, Harry Potter, Jack Ass, Gossip girl, Full house, Gidget,
Twighlight, she is desperate to see the new Zombie movie Warm Bodies.
She loves to read!! The
kid has intelligence oozing out her ears.
Loves the TV show Big Bang
Theory, American pickers, Hardcore pawn, Swamp people, Turtle man, Gator boys,
Too funny!!! haha
Googles everything!
Loves the beach and
surfing with dad!
Jaimee
is living with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), Generalised Anxiety Disorder
and PDD-NOS (Pervasive Developmental Disorder – Not Otherwise Specified). This
all started to develop more and more around the age of 6.
She does extremely well
academically and Adam & I are often amazed and extremely proud of how well
she does. Jaimee is on the other end of the spectrum to Madison Madison
We adore this girl and are
so grateful to have her in our life.
Adam
Ad
surf’s that’s his thing and he plays golf and loves his footy, NRL that is. He
has a very competitive group of mates and he loves that. He is a karate
instructor and Black Belt in Go-Kan-Ryu style karate and he loves to spar. We
have had a lot of busted body bits over the years to prove it. The boy is always
pestering me to let him have a go at cage fighting, MMA, hmmm but I’m not sure
about that, yet!
Adam
has been a Fly in /Fly out worker since early 2011 and the swings vary from 4 weeks
on and 4 weeks off to 6 and 6. It changes with each project. He works extremely
hard an 84 hour week with overtime
thrown in, 7 days a week for the whole swing, No days off unless
there is a cyclone or some other major weather event.
We
are loving the FiFo life style and he see's it as he is working half a year then at
home the other half with us.
Ad
is very loyal, extremely protective and family is everything to him. He is a lover not a
fighter and avoids conflict unless it’s for fun. He is a creature of habit and he tells me he is always right, no matter what, Bwwahhaa!
He is a great husband & father to the
girls and I couldn’t ask for anything more. He just keeps on surprising me at how
much he gets it, the girls I mean and our crazy chaotic family!
Ad makes us proud
everyday and we love him to bits.
This is me and I'm the Chaos list maker, so officially I don't think I actually cause to much chaos but I am usually surrounded by it! And that's ok, I don't think I would have it any other way.
Although, I am working on calming the chaos down a bit! My strategy so far is too slow everything right down and stop taking on to much, in all aspects of our life and it seems to be working too.
I am a stay at home mum, the home maker and it's taken me a long while to be happy with that status and actually enjoy it too. I want to be and we are trying to live a sustainable and simple life and I have been researching and learning how to be more self sufficient and less reliant in all kind of ways.
I've gone back to basics with many things I do in our home, like cooking from scratch, making my own washing powder and cleaners, baking bread and we are going to attempt our first vegie patch soon. I would love to have chickens and Madison, I'm sure, would live in their house with them but the chooks will come a little later. I have been concentrating on our budget and saving for our pipe dream, a little stone cottage on some acreage.
For me, I have found that I love writing and photography, a new fancy camera is on my wish list!
Jaimee showed me how to use Instagram & Pinterest and I am absolutely hooked, love it!
I love anything vintage, Doilies and Tea towels are my favourites.
I love to recycle and up cycle anything.
I love my crafty stuff, crocheting, sewing, mosaic's, pottery, scrape booking, I'm a bit like Jaimee and go through fads! Love making gifts for people!
Love love love, Mr & Mrs Murder, Downtown Abbey, Sherlock & Elementary, Weeds, Entourage, anything Agatha Christie, anything British, True Blood and more...
I dream of travelling with my family and going somewhere other than the Gold Coast and Movie World!!
I believe in Karma and what goes around comes around!
Love running, not sure why, it makes me feel like I'm alive and it's a pretty good de-stressor.
For some reason I stopped wearing make up, wonder what that's about!
Chocolate and red wine are my weaknesses, lucky I like running!
Really trying to follow the Low Fod-Map and Gluten & Dairy free Diet, which sucks when you love bread so much, the smell the taste, Boo and damn to the Gluten!
I adore my family and would walk heaven and earth for them. All I want in this world is a good life for my family and some fun thrown in for good measure.
We all only get one chance at life so my theory is Do what you love to do, Laugh as much as you can, Love unconditionally and Live every moment like there is no tomorrow.
Cause you just never know ...
I hope you enjoy my blog, it's kind of like a journal crossed with a memory book. I have a shocking memory and I usually have to write things down to remember them! It's not always fun and games here at our place and I will be as open and as honest as I possibly can when writing here on this blog. What ever comes our way, your going to hear about it!!
Take care friends and I leave you with a quote.
" There is no such thing as normal,
normal is just the average between all the weird people and all the boring people,
normal people don't actually exist "
The quote is from my newest favourite TV show Mr & Mrs Murder, Charlie has a few characteristic of an Aspie, he is so funny and I just love him to death!!
