A note to Tyler and Jacob Hembree

Dear Ty and Jake,

I hate to ruin your fun, but I do not share your excitement or your obsession with all things Star Wars. I am a girl...I like the color pink, flowers, painted toenails, bubble baths and reading books in peace and quiet. When you start a sentence with "Do you remember when Darth Vader..." I have stopped listening and have gone to a happy place in my mind. When you ask "Who is Mace Windu?" I do NOT know the answer or care. When you want to play and ask me to be Princess Leia....it will not end well bc the princess likes to sleep in my story. Every cup and plate you use does not have to have Yoda on it...you will live with normal silverware and dinner plates. Lightsabers are not stuffed animals and do not need to sleep in your bed. They are just fine in the toybox and will be there when you wake up. Luke Skywalker is a made up person not a member of our family, so NO, I do not love him. I am excited your vocabulary is expanding but I dont believe you will find Clone Trooper or Rebel Alliance in the dictionary. Just a reminder my birthday is coming up and if my card has Boba Fett I am running away and may not come back all day. I love you both but enough is enough!

Love,
Mommy

P.S. I feel the same way about Phineas and Ferb so don't even think about it!

Hi there!

So we have been crazy busy and I am not good at keeping up at the moment. I have started homeschooling Ty(occasionaly Jake) and it is going really well....Of course he is only first grade so if I was struggling we would all be in trouble :) I think the thought of homeschooling was much scarier than actually doing it. He is doing great! Such a little smarty pants. The curriculum has alot of language and phonics type stuff and he is flying thru it considering he already reads at a 3rd grade level. But I want to go thru it all so when he comes to words he hasnt memorized he can actually sound them out. lol. We had our first homeschool field trip and the boys had a lot of fun...when I get a camera for my birthday(wink, wink) I will be able to add pictures. I dont know how to get the pictures from my i-phone to the computer without it taking forever so no pics till Oct. We went to the Butterfly festival in Southlake. The kids learned about butterflies and fed them some watermelon on a stick and Ty even had one on his nose by the end of the day. Then we went to Chick-Fil-A and had lunch and let the kids play while I visited with a couple of the other moms.
Texas is FINALLY feeling like home and I am comfortable with the group of girls I have met and am surrounding myself with. They are all so encouraging and sweet and I love being around girls I can be myself around. We also joined a church which helps in the feeling at home. Of course we loved Calvary in St Peters and it will never be exactly the same but we love our pastor, the music and they have alot of options for the kids. We have met a couple people up there that are great and I look forward to getting to know better. I am thankful that God has lead us to Glenview and I look forward to becoming more active with them and watching my children grow in the Lord in this church.
My family was all in town over Labor Day and it was WONDERFUL! I cant remember the last time all of us were all together like that and I havent laughed that much in a long time. I love each and every one so much. I could not be more blessed! The competitions were in full force and we kept the fighting to a minimum...Woo Hoo! I love how we are all so competitve and up for anything. The boys had so much fun with all their cousins and came back exhusted and of course sick from all the fun :)
Tyler starts soccer again this next week and is doing karate too, which he loves! So that, school and his birthday should keep me pretty busy this week but I am going to try and get better about my blogging.....I am such a slacker :) Much love to all who are reading and keep us in your prayers as October gets nearer and Jay has to leave us!
