POSTS STORIES REELS

❤️ Rainy days 🌧️ by @icheets

Old roll developed 🌈 by @icheets

A humble accountability post 💀

I have been slowly chipping away at a project, writing and recording some music. A collection of songs I have put together piece by piece over the course of many late nights while my family sleeps. Hence why it will fly under the banner ‘Moon Tapes’. This image also depicts the street view of these late night sessions.

It’s been therapeutic, exercising this creative outlet and I’m getting closer to releasing it to the wild. It has been a massive learning curve and I still have a fair bit to go to get it to the end, but this post serves a commitment to eventually complete it in the near future.

I am proud of how much I’ve already done and can’t wait to tidy it all up and release it.

This is a little teaser of the final song from the body of work I’m calling ‘some good, some bad, some happy, some sad’

If you’d like to journey with me on this project, please follow @m00n.tapes and thank you to those who read this far! 🥹 ❤️ by @icheets

Happy Birthday to the most beautiful girl I’ve ever laid eyes on!!! I am very thankful for the amazing family and life you’ve built for us!!! I am so un-interested in a life without you!!! ❤️❤️❤️ by @icheets

You’ve been the heartbeat of our home for so many years.
Always there.
Always available.
Always loving.
Thank you for always being there for us! ❤️

We love you Penny! We’ll miss you forever! by @icheets

And just like that… you’re three years old!!! 💕

Riley Mae you are the a constant bundle of fun! Your cheeky smile and playful nature mixed with your strength and defiance makes for an exciting combo!
But most of all… your kind. You get a great sense of joy from giving and taking care of others. I honestly couldn’t count how many times you’ve made me dinner in your pretend kitchen, given me the last bite of your chocolate, or when you just want to help do whatever I’m doing! I often catch you doing something sweet for your siblings and even if no one notices, you back away slowly with a big smile and a sense of accomplishment knowing you’ve done something that is kind. You are very special!

I hope you enjoy this year of being 3 and I’m excited to celebrate you in person soon! Love you Riley Mae! 🥰 by @icheets

Still wild that you’re a 1 year old! It’s been a very special year and I look forward to getting to know you more and more!!! ❤️Posie Quinn❤️ by @icheets

Happy Birthday 6th Olly! 🎉

You make life one big adventure, may that never change! by @icheets

Still catching up on posting some photos of our USA Trip… but here are a couple of snaps from San Fran!

Always special to spend time with @shrewgy. An inspirational man to be reckoned with… through multiple decades. Thanks for taking the time to host us Aussies! Next time we’ll stay longer ❤️ by @icheets

Happy Birthday to this amazing woman! 🎉🎂🥳🎊

I feel like I already know plenty about her, but I also think I’m still learning how truly amazing she really is!!!

You have raised one incredible family and we all love you very very much!!! Thanks for being the truly special person you are! I’d never want it any other way! by @icheets

2023 was a big year!!!

Olly continually blows us away. He is such a sweet and gentle spirited kid underneath his energetic and playful nature! He has grown up so much in a year and has even started playing video games with me on the weekends (which is something I’ve been looking forward to as a Dad! 🤓) He’s also soooo excited for Prep next year, which he’s going to loooovvveee!

Riley is an incredibly strong, yet graceful little lady. She constantly pushes the boundaries in a sweet and innocent way (very hard to parent 😅) She has learnt to be silly from her brother, but she is very much her own personality. She sometimes caries on with a task or game she’s made quietly without a peep, and other times she wants to be in the centre of attention and perform for us all!

Posie joined us this year 2 days before my birthday! What a special birthday present that was! Sometimes it’s extremely hard to slow down enough to enjoy her in as a newborn. So many little milestones happen so quickly and it’s easy to always be soooo busy with everything else all the time, that you don’t really enjoy it to the fullest… and I often feel bad about it. Buuuuuuttttt, whenever you do sit down and come to her level, she’s just a bundle of joy in its purest form. Her smile lights up my world and I’m so excited to continue to learn more about miss Posie in 2024!

Kelsey. Is there anything in the world you cannot do?!? You are the backbone of our entire family and you inspire and encourage all of us constantly, while genuinely loving us unconditionally for who we are. It’s pretty special watching you become a Mom time and time again. You are sooo special to all of us! Thanks for all you’ve done this year.

Myself. I’m grateful for sooo many things that happened in 2023, but I think I think I still missed a bunch of little special moments. In 2024 I’d like to slow down and miss less.

Gold Star for reading this far ❤️ Hope you have a good year! by @icheets
