Cup Stacking

The final result!
Serious flipping of the cups!
Goofy!!
The tounge really helps to balance you out!


I think it's safe to say that Connor has mastered my iPhone long before I did. Sad, but true! He loves to go on You Tube and find videos such as silly songs that teach you the days of the week, or vowels, or the months of the year. Well, apparently he has mastered those videos and one day, he accidentally stumbled upon Speed Cup Stacking. Yes, seriously. My 6 year old loves to stack cups. He even knows how many points you get and something about red cards and green cards, depending on how well you do. Yea, I just watch and laugh. I don't know the first thing about Speed Stacking. I do however, know that I better find some of the right cups for him for Christmas, or I will be in trouble!

This past Sunday, we participated in the Walk for Autism in honor of my best friends son, Garrett. He named his team G-Force. He is such an exceptional kid, so loving and friendly. It was such an awesome experience to do the walk for him. However, it poured the rain the whole entire time! We were wet and cold, but the cause was completely worth it. It was so fun to see all the kids in the Austin/Round Rock area and all of their teams. There was a fraternity that came out and represented for the cause, UPS had a ton of their employee's out, Toy's R Us and Babies R Us sponser the event every year which is amazing. All of the boys got their faces painted, snacks were provided, and there were tons of games inside that they were able to play. We truly had a great time with our friends and we will be there again next year come rain or shine!

Bathtub o' pumpkins

Sweet little cottage with homemade goodies!



This past Saturday, we went to the Sweet Berry Farms in Marble Falls and it was awesome! They have just about everthing you could ask for. We picked out a few big pumpkins, some little pumpkins for the kids to paint, and some gourds for decoration. We took a hayride that took us to a huge storm drain. We walked through the storm drain, under the street to the other side of the farm to pick the most beautiful flowers! You pay $1.00 for a cup, they give you a pair of scissors and off you go to cut all the flowers you want! We picked 3 cups worth. Connor had so much fun picking all yellow and orange ones. They had some goats that we fed, as well as a really cute cottage with homemade goodies in it. We ate some homemade ice cream, Ray had pumpkin and I had berry berry. Man, it was so good! We took some really great pictures of Connor, RJ decided he didn't want to participate that day, so he didn't. We are looking forward to going back to the Sweet Berry Farms in November to cut down our Christmas tree!
