Happy Easter!

This Easter was a small and simple one in the Dor-chuck house. We did dinner with my parents on Saturday. Then Easter Bunny arrived last night. They didnt get to much this year as we plan to get them bikes in a few months anyways. We also believe that they don;t need a hole bunch. I am thanksfull that my kids are not the type to complain about how much they receive, they are much more happier with the small things, that make them happy.

On our way to my parents place for dinner we took a walk along the path instead of taking a second bus. The kids had a blast and Addy and Daddy had some fun with some sticks!

The kids walked ahead and did some exploring on there own!

30 Days of Thanks November ... Well I Failed!

So it would seen I did not make it to the end of the month with my 30 Days of Thanks.

Between being sick and this nasty "rash" and Christmas preparations November was just my month.
But I am very proud of myself I made it past more then 12 posts in one month ... BIG WIN!!!

To sum it all up like my SIL in her last post I am thankful for life and everything in it, the good, the bad, and most definitely the ugly! All these moments make every day worth living and fighting for.
I am thankful my my amazing 3 kids KayBay, lildude and lilbug. They are the reason I breath, the reason I keep going and the most important they are the key holders to my most prized possession MY HEART!!

I am thankful for my hubby because with out him I would not be a mommy to them 3 amazing little being's. Hes my rock through all the ups and downs in this crazy chaotic but beautiful life!

My Furbabies ALL OF THEM lol

My forever growing family. Who would have thought that 10 years ago it was just me my mom and 2 sibling that I had not seen in a few years. To this a forever growing circle of dysfunctional love, to family I had not seen in years that I thought never thought of me nor wanted me as I am not their blood, to reuniting with my sibling, and to my large amount of in laws, that except me flaws and all.
A foster sister that means everything to me, she is also my rock, she is that one person that I have never ever had to worry about leaving me when needed most. Because she has been thro it all with me. We share a bond that not many can say that they have and I know deep in my heart with will be friends/sisters to that very end!

My friends for the words of wisdom and words of stupidity to make me laugh.

30 Days of Thanks Catch up AGAIN!!

Things just have been insane lately, with the hols house being sick the the stomach flu and among other things goingon!

November 10, 2014

I am thankful for my mom and the things she does for her family. She turned 50 today and def does not look it ! We have had many ups and downs, but I love her no matter what. 

I am thankful for my mother in law (passed 5 years ago today) that gave life to her amazing son, with out her I would not be where I am today with a man that I love to pieces and 3 amazing children. With out these to ladies my life would not be what it is today. and tho I may not be exactly where I want to be I know with there support I will get there!!

November 7, 2014

My first born, even on my worst days she has that power to make me smile.So unbelievable proud of this little girl. She was recognized at school today for stopping a class mate from being bullied by an older kid. She not only stood up to him but also reported it to the principle!! Never have I been prouder!!

November 2, 2014 Family

Today I am thankful for my Family.

 Blood and none blood, does not matter to me, your all the same in my heart.

 For everything they have and continue to do for me. For the love and support thro out the years even when I have not deserved it. For patience with me and my stubborn ways. For helping me thro my weakest moments and toughest times. For the kick in the ass's that I have absolutely needed along the way. Things have not always been the way they should have been. They certainly did not turn out how they should have either and we have been thro pain and lose, but with that I know that some day it will make us stronger as a unit. 

My life would not be the same with out my mom, sister and brother. We have not always been together but I can always hope that one day we can unit as a family again.

The Mulhollands/Williams, they may not be blood but they were the only family I knew growing up and even tho we have drifted thro the years they will always be a big part of who I am. 

The Parsons, Kevin Sarah and Ryan, they are the family that I have adopted, a dad I never had, and one that treats my mom right and keeps her together even when she wants to give up, that has helped me thro the years with issues I just couldn't understand. He drives me crazy at times, lets be honest lol

A brother and sister, that could never substitute the longing I had for my bio siblings but filled just enough of that void to make it thro the years I spent with out them. 

The Hawerchuks/Lindfields/Armstrongs, the family that took me in to there unit and made me one of them. My in laws. The large crazy, messed up, disfunctional but amazingly loving family that I could not see a day in my life with out. They make life that much interesting and there is never a dull moment and I am proud to call them min!

My Foster family, a foster mom that never gave up, picked me up and taught me to live again. She loved unconditional, laughed with her hole heart and shapped me into the woman that I am today. My foster sisters, a never ending bond that I am forever great full for. Where I met my best friend/sister a person I know 100% has my back no matter what, that has been thro hell and back with me and stuck by me the hole way. 

But most importantly what they all have in comon, I love them for every thing they have brought in my life and the things they continue to bring into my life!
