It's Over and lots more fun to come!!

So Christmas is over...the boys had a blast and got all they wanted and much much more!! They are playing with toys all day long and really playing together well. That leaves lots more time for mommy to get things done..although right now I am glaring at the pretty Christmas tree and the trouble it is going to take to put it all away. We had a play date at the park with some new friends and the boys are slowly adjusting to life away from family and friends. We found a church we really liked this weekend and will try it again on Sunday...even the boys liked it! In other news...Jays mom and dad are in town and we are having a good time with them and seeing the boys light up when they wake up and see Nonnie and Papa are still here. Jay, Jack and Ty have a football game to go to tomarrow so that should be fun. Jay goes out of town for 4 days in January, My parents come in a couple weeks and then Jenny, Brandon and Ashley(yippee)! After that we will be getting ready for our trip to Disney!!!!! We are so excited and I am already trying to plan fun things to do while we are there. Dinner with Tigger and Pooh...Breakfast with Donald and Goofy...etc. After that we will be missing daddy like crazy while he is overseas...but I am going to keep Ty busy with spring soccer with his new friends Cayden and Taylor and a trip to St. Louis....(deep breath) That is all we have planned right now but that should get us to the end of May. Here are a couple pictures of the boys at Christmas!~Andi

Yikes!!

Ok how many more days till Christmas?? Seems like I have

nothing ready. No presents wrapped, no cookies made, stocking stuffers to buy. Oh yeah and Ty just reminded me that I have to make a birthday cake for Jesus! We have alot of fun stuff coming up. Kevin is spending the night with us tonight, in the morning we have a cookie decorating party to go to at Christopher's house(Ty's neighborhood friend), then we have family coming over for dinner and the Cowboys game! I love this time of year but it seems like I havent gotten the chance to really sit back and enjoy it yet. I miss my mom, dad, Jenny, Adam, Brandon and Ashley! How am I going to feel like it is Christmas without my favorite people in the whole world? Oh and last year Jake threw up all over us at Christmas Eve service...ok I wont miss that!

To all my family and friends....... Merry Christmas...we love you and miss you all! I didnt get a chance to send out Christmas Cards (maybe next year)!

Zoo Trip and other reasons why we love Daddy!!

Sat. we woke up and daddy had the great idea of going to the zoo. It was a great day and the boys had a blast!! Ty loved the alligators and Jake loved the monkeys. The gorillas were gathering hay and making pillows to sleep on....too cool! The animals were all really close to us and I think this was the best zoo I have been to. I cant wait till the weather cooperates so we can go back again soon. On another note....Daddy has now covered the SCARY smoke detector so mommy can get a decent night sleep. Yesterday(Monday) Jay took the day off and we went to Rockwall so Aunt Angie and Randi could babysit while Jay and I got to go see a movie and go Christmas shopping. Ty stayed to spend a couple nights with his "best friend" Kevin. So Jake and mommy are spending some quality time at home today......I forgot how easy 1 kid is!!!!! He is helping clean up and do some laundry. He is a little like a lost puppy without Tyler though...he keeps walking around going.."Where is Ty mommy? I want Tyler home now! Lets get him mommy."

One question for you all.....Why are smoke detectors and birds scary and alligators aren't?

Not Bragging

Ok my mom told me not to brag so I will just remind all of you that today is DECEMBER 12 and this is what we did today!

Family Fun Night Part 2

Outside Santa's tent, we didnt tell them to hold hands...too cute!

As you can tell Jake loves riding the merry go round!

Dragon spinning ride

Family Fun Night Part 2

So last night we took the boys to a drive thru Christmas lights place. It was alot of fun and in the middle of the lights the boys got to get out and ride a couple rides and get their picture with Santa. Other than the traffic on the way to get there....we all had a great time!

Family Fun Night Part 1

So this week we have a couple fun family things planned. Last night we took the boys bowling. They had alot of fun! Jake beat Ty but he had a little help from mommy and daddy pushing the ball. Then we had pizza, played video games and watched the Cowboys.

Jake: "Mommy these shoes is CRAZY!"

Sleepless Nights and Funny Things

Ok....Who would have thought a little fun game (mixed with a little fire safety lesson) would cause so much trouble?

The picture above is the cause for many sleepless nights in the Hembree household. It seems now Tyler is afraid our new home will burst into flames at any moment due to all the smoke detectors in the house. He stays awake staring at the stupid thing waiting for it to sound us all to attention!

He asked me what it was, what is it for, what sounds does it make....a million and one questions about it and then wanted to pretend it went off and what we would do. Stupid mommy told the truth and tried to teach him fire safety. Guess I deserve getting up at all hours to turn on lights and calm him and his brother back to sleep.

On another note....he also wanted to know what shrimp were and what they looked like. I told him I could show him a picture on the computer. He says " Oh like on shrimp dot com, right?"

Why can't my little boy just be 5 and play with trucks or something?????

My handsome boys

Christmas time is coming fast and the boys are very excited for Santa. We got the tree up this week and one present bought!!!

Hembree Family

Hey I am new to this whole blogging thing but I enjoy Heather and Hayli's so much I thought I would give it a try. Jay, Ty, Jake and I miss our friends and family back home but are glad to be in sunny Texas today.
