10 Years of Chaos...

So here we are. Celebrating our 10th year of being together. 10 years of smiling, bickering, and doing

the most absolute random shit possible. Hey there! I'm Bre and mom of 4 wonderful children and I'm a wife to probably one of the best men out there- not being bias of course. 😂 Our house is daily chaos with a plethora of ADHD on top of all this hot mess. So welcome to our world, where nothing makes sense and the projects get half finished before my husband loses his mind. 😂 Just kidding, or am I?

Ten years ago in 2014 I met my husband working in a local lumber mill. Just think ladies, tattooed, muscles, ears pierced and drop dead gorrrrrrgeous. Completely out of my league- or so I thought. He's smart, charming, quick as a whip when it comes to something smart assed to say and pretty handy if I say so myself. My knight in shining armor, my best friend, and my biggest competition throughout life. He keeps me on my toes and I will forever be grateful for this gift of a human the good Lord sent me. Fast forward, I'm now picking up his dirty laundry left on the bathroom floor, throwing his chew cans away that he leaves around the house that are empty and attempting to do this "adulting" thing with him. We never get things right, but we at least have fun trying.

My oldest is 17 this year. Aiden is a curious kid. Rocks an 80's curly mop on his head and has his own custom style and flair to life. He's amazing on the drums too! When he's not pounding the set making an absolute rukus in his room he's helping others (except Mom unless I beg of course), wants to be a Line Man when he graduates school and loves football. He's goofy, he's awkward, and he HATES his photos taken. Of course, that makes me want to do it more because at some point he's going to be out of my house and I'm going to miss the ever living shit out of him and pictures are going to be the only thing I have... until he decides to come visit me of course.

McKenzie turns 16 this year. She's all that and a can of beans. Or so she thinks. She's fiesty, smart mouthed and is loved by many. She's popular with her peers, travels with her school for academic trips, and is on the Cheer squad for her school. A veteran on the track field, this girl can RUN! Relays, 100m sprints, distance runs and more... just don't ask her to throw anything. On top of it all she's probably the most clumsy girl I know. Trips over air. Somewhere I have a video of her winning her track heat in the 100m and tripping over her own feet crossing the finish line.

Bristol is entering the dreaded teenager land this year. She's quiet, loves to read and draw. Loves all things butterflies and her bearded dragon Thor that is 17 this year himself! She's empathetic and caring, loves to play volleyball and is running her first year of track this year. It's been two days and she's telling me her legs are about to fall off from the nightly 10 mile runs. (Which I highly doubt she's actually running 10 miles.... teenagers... /sigh) Need I say more?

And last but not least we have Jason. He's the young circus clown of the house. Going on 8 this summer and I'm pretty sure should have his own stand up comedy show. He's bold, quit witted and SEVERELY ADHD. Just like his momma.... and his daddy. There's never a dull moment with this kid around. Calls things as he sees them and really doesn't care who he is around. Never malicious, just.... out spoken and likes to point out the obvious. Loves bugs to the point my garden rocks are NEVER in the same spot because this kid will find every creepy crawly living under them and feel the need to 'adopt them'. Even when they're perfectly happy where they are....

We recently decided that we're going to give a shot at blogging. I am sure there's many families out there that are blended like ours, who share the same adhd struggles, and can probably find some things in common with us. We'd love to hear from you!

My goal is to be as transparent as possible. If foul language upsets you- trust me this is NOT going to be a blog for you. If you're not a fan of providing for your family via means of farming and hunting, this is not the place for you. We thrive on giving each other as much chaos as possible- it just happens to be our love language. With 6 in the house who are pretty fluent in this language you can only imagine what a day in our house is like. We're not mean people, I promise. But we do try to be as self reliant as possible while still trying to leave this world in better shape then when it was yesterday and not raise a bunch of assholes for kids..

So buckle up, share some memories with us and follow us on our journey.
