~Lake Norris, TN~

Summer Vacation was a little different this year. We decided to rent a lake house instead of our normal beach trip. The Casey side all met up in Lake Norris, Tennesee for a full week. The house was on the lake and had a boat dock and a hot tub. The weather started out a little sketchy, but it cleared up to get plenty of boating in. We rented a pontoon boat from Sunday to Friday. We cooked in every night and didn't ever have to leave the house (except to go Walmart or to get cell/internet service)!! Harrison did some fishing, tubing, jetski riding, jumping off the bridge and also off the side of the boat. Check out these cool pics:

Last year as a Jr. Thrasher!

Well, it's official.....the Atlanta Thrashers have been sold and are moving to Winnipeg! This is a very sad time for all the die-hard Thrasher fans. I'm just glad that Harrison found his passion for the game before this happened. This past season, he played Spuirt AA travel hockey at the Kennesaw Ice Forum. He was the second youngest on the team, as he played up a year. They had a tough year, but he played great most of the time. He typically played Center, and some Forward. Here is a slideshow of his season:

Easter 2011

I'm a little late posting these because I couldn't find my camera USB cord to download the pictures. We had Easter at Nana Jane's house in Douglasville this year. She cooked a ton of good food and desserts (naner puddin!!) But of course, the kids just wanted to get straight to the egg hunt. She has a pretty big back yard, so that's where the Easter Bunny left all the eggs. There were about 160 eggs for the 5 little ones, so they all got plenty of candy. Harrison found one of the prize eggs too! It was a nice, relaxing day for everyone.

White Christmas!!

We had a great Christmas this year! On Christmas Eve, we had two stops to make: Irma's house for the Phillips family, then to Douglasville for the Casey family. Harrison got to see all of his cousins and got some cool gifts. We got home really late that night and had to go straight to bed so Santa could come.

On Christmas morning, the kids didn't wake up until 9AM....which was crazy because they were so excited. Harrison got clothes, boots, hockey stuff and a sheet of plastic that like ice! He can shoot and puck handle on it. Around 11:00, we were all getting ready to go to Nana Phillip's house when all of a sudden.....it started snowing! It snowed almost all day and we got a couple of inches at our house. The bad part was, we had to leave it to go to Nana's. We drove in snow the whole way there. It was snowing there too, but not as much as at our house. When we got there, we got to see the Cobb's and Aunt Linda and Uncle Louis. It was a great day!

We headed home before it got dark so the roads wouldn't be bad. Once we got home, we started a fire and played Mario Kart on the wii for a while. It did stop snowing in the evening, but the best part was the next day- there was still snow to play in! So, of course, the kids bundled up and went out for a while. Here is a slideshow of our White Christmas:

Fourth grade=Honor Roll

During his conference, his teachers told me how great he is doing and what a pleasure he is to have in class. Keep up the good work, Harri!
