B’s Last Flag Football Game…Ever

MacFarland — Mon, 20 May 2013 14:26:16 +0000

Sunday was Brady’s final flag football game and boy did they play good! It ended up in overtime but still couldn’t break the tie! They came in second place for the season which was really good considering half the team was new this season. B had some great plays and some really amazing catches! Scott had a good run as an assistant coach and I think he really enjoyed the season too.

Pflugerville Deutschen Fest Parade

MacFarland — Mon, 20 May 2013 14:08:29 +0000

Saturday we trekked over to Pflugerville for the annual Deutschen Fest Parade. The show team girls from both gyms combined and marched (well, tumbled) together in the parade. They were so cute and did so good! They were so brave to tumble and flip their way 1.4 miles down the parade route…wow! Kacey was all smiles and loved getting to do back tucks, back handsprings, back walkovers and cartwheels down the street. The crowd loved them and cheered them on. Her daddy even got in on the action and helped carry the Cap Gym banner Here are some pics and videos of the parade…

Mothers Day Weekend

MacFarland — Mon, 13 May 2013 16:37:41 +0000

Scott and the kids were so good to me this weekend! All in all it was a great 2 days of relaxing and hanging out at home. Saturday Scott, Kacey and I went to my favorite place, Home Depot, and got some plants for the front landscaping and ended up getting some new wrought iron chairs and cushions. The old chairs were really falling apart and were part of a table and chairs set from Scott’s grandparents. We decided to keep the glass top table since it still looks great and you cant find tables like that anymore these days. On Sunday the kids surprised me with some very thoughtful and much loved gifts. They got me a 10-piece collage frame set that I can’t wait to hang on the wall and a custom glass plaque for my office desk. Scott grilled up some yummy steak, shrimp and veggie shish kabobs for dinner… scrumptious! This mommy was definitely feeling the love

Shots from my new Lensbaby Spark

Scott got me the brand new Lensbaby Spark and macro converters for Mothers Day. I have been really intrigued by these lenses for a long time so I was so thrilled to get them. I spent the better part of the morning playing around with them. Here are my favorite shots and I think some if not most of these are going to end up on the walls of our house. Thanks again for the awesome gift honey!

Patrol Camping Weekend @ Berry Springs

MacFarland — Mon, 13 May 2013 14:50:19 +0000

This weekend was the patrol camp out Berry Springs in Georgetown. The boys weathered a nasty storm Friday night but had beautiful weather the rest of the time. The parents got to come out and join them on Saturday evening around dinner time. We got there around 4pm and hung out with B. We took a short walk around part of the park that took us past beautiful wildflowers (even some lingering bluebonnets!) and a natural spring full of tadpoles. I loved getting to see how B camps with his buddies. He cooked dinner for himself while we were there and showed us everything they did for the Pioneering merit badge. Here are some photos from our afternoon at Berry Springs…

Scouts: Hornaday Weekend

MacFarland — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 13:57:34 +0000

Brady was off to another campout this weekend! Him and Scott were up super early Saturday morning so that they could get to LPSR in Bastrop by 8am. This weekend was a merit badge/conservation focused campout called Hornaday Award Weekend, named for William T Hornaday. Brady worked on and earned three merit badges and those were Pulp and Paper, Fish and Wildlife and Public Health. He had a great time! We all ran back out there on Sunday to get him and of course couldn’t drive through Elgin without stopping for BBQ! Brady (who has been several times on his way out to Bastrop with his scout buddy) has always raved about Southside Market so we decided to try it. Of course it was pretty tasty but we are so spoiled to Scott’s BBQ!

Kacey’s First Show Team Performace

MacFarland — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 13:37:16 +0000

Kacey and the rest of the show team gymnasts put on a wonderful pre-game show last night! They went big for their first performance, entertaining the crowd at the Stars hockey game at the Cedar Park Center. They looked so cute with their hair in curled ponytails and their matching uniforms. There was a lot of nervous excitement but in the end they did a great job!

Here are the links to the videos that are up on YouTube. One was taken by Scott from our group seats and the other is mine taken from another section.
