Christmas was fantastic this year. The boys were given lots of presents for Christmas. Tyler is taking pictures with his camera that he got from Uncle Craig, the other picture with Mark and Loro building is a thing to make forts with, the boys really liked it and I know we are going to have lots of fun with it. Mark, Loro, Craig, Izabela, my mom, Rob and I all stayed after dinner and played games, it was a lot of fun and I hope we will be able to do it again in the near future. This is what Christmas is all about.

On Christmas morning Seth and Tyler opened the presents from us, we gave Tyler Chuck my talking truck. He loved it and knew exactly what it was...... he goes eeeeeehhhhh!! THANK YOU MOMMY, really loud, it was so adorable. We gave Seth a camera like the one Tyler is holding in the picture above, he opened it and I kept asking him what is it and he finally answered "Cheese", lol!! he knew it was a camera but when I have a camera in his face all he has associtaed with it is say cheese. It was a perfect day, except the turkey was dry and so was the ham. On the way home I was saying to Rob that I wish I could wake up tomorrow and it be this day all over again. I loved the reactions from my boys in the morning and I loved spending the day with my brothers, Loro and Izabel.

The boys and I went to the Olympic Oval today with my mom. They had caroling, coloring and cookie decorating. It was a lot of fun. This was the first time that Tyler has been skating. I was putting my skates on and was watching Tyler but I didn't anticipate that he would walk on the ice, it was so funny he stepped on the ice and immediately fell, I just laughed and he laughed too, but then he was scared to go on the ice after that. He would go if I held him up but that was hard on my back. Seth went on the ice once and then he wouldn't go again, he didn't fall so I am not sure why he didn't want to go again. We tried getting the boys to use the red metal things they have to hold them up but they weren't interested in that either. Then we went to Mcdonalds for supper and they played in the play place, it was the first time that I had seen Tyler play in the playplace, because I have never taken them to one that has one. My mom has taken them before though. We had a great time and it was really nice to get out of the house. This was the first outing that I didn't put Tyler in a diaper and he did so awesome he just peed his pants when we got home, lol!!, he peed in the potty when we were out 3 times.
The picture of Tyler on the truck and Seth in the wagon..... They pull each other around like that, but they had to hold on and Seth hurt his fingers and Tyler wasn't able to hold on so Rob went downstairs and got some zip ties so now they don't have to hold on, and it a great way for me to get them to clean up their toys because their is no room to ride around until they do.
And the last thing to say is Rob went for a test today because he is coughing a lot and his lungs hurt, but the test came back great and they said that he isn't having problems with his lungs and it is just the drug that is irritating them. So he has to deal with coughing especially in the middle of the night but at least he doesn't have to switch drugs or taking something else. This chemo treatment wasn't very good for Rob he took along time to recover he was a trooper though. He gets a three week break now though, and then back at it. Well Merry Christmas to all and or Seasons Greetings lol!! and if I don't post in the next week I will talk to you in the New Year

I don't even know if anyone reads this blog anymore but here goes. Craig, Izabel, Rob and I went to the Chili Thai Club House it is on 17th Ave SW and it is so cute, the silverware is so cool. It is fancy and tastes so good. We ordered this one spicy curry dish that was good to us except Rob. When we left there I asked him if the dish was just spicy or if he didn't like it. He said that it tasted like spicy soap, lol!!, I think it was the reaction from having chemo on Wednesday. The chemo leaves a rotten egg taste in his mouth, or sometimes a metallic taste. So I guess some things don't mix well with it, I was laughing really hard cause he said my soap eating days are over I was not going to eat that. Then we went and watched New Moon, it was not as good as I had hoped for, the book was WAY better. It felt like things were too rushed and an over reaction to get across the point that something was dangerous. Izabel made a good point it is hard to make romance an action.

On another note I was driving to my moms today and I had to slam on the brakes and I skidded a little cause someone decided to stop on a yield and no one was around, and Seth goes "uuuhhhh!! careful mommy", I thought it was so cute I just said awww! thanks Seth I will. So now I am having an issue of Seth not wanting to clean up the toys. We asked him to help Rob and Tyler clean up the bedroom, it was a disaster, and he said no, so he sat in the hall while Rob and Tyler cleaned up. Rob saved some of the toys and Seth had to go in there and clean up a little when Rob and Tyler were done, and Seth did clean them up but it was probably cause he didn't want to sit in the hall again. Then a couple of hours later it was time for supper and I asked them to clean up the mess they made and Seth again said no to us and Tyler cleaned up his toys. So Seth sat there and I told him he had to clean up his toys before he came for supper, I asked him if he wanted salad with his supper he loves salad and I was trying to bribe him and he said yes but still wouldn't clean up the toys, so we started eating I didn't even get one bite in and he quickly cleaned up all the toys and sat down and ate dinner with us. I couldn't believe that he did that twice in one day and I have no idea what to do about it, I am crossing my fingers that he doesn't do it again.

Tyler has an amazing vocabulary, he talks so much and it is really easy to understand him too. Tyler wakes up in the middle of the night crying at least once a night and sometimes up to 3 times a night. I am not sure if it is night mares or growing pains. Rob said he grew really quickly and remembers having them.

This post is all over the place so why not add another to it, I am excited about tomorrow well considering the time of this post I guess it would be tonight, I am some friends over for tacos, home made apple cheesecake and games, it is going to be a fun night.
