He's a genius!?!?

Harrison had a great 3rd grade school year! We found out a few weeks ago that he had passed the CRCT, but we just got the scores with his report card yesterday. Not only did he PASS the Math part...he Exceeded Standards!! This is great because in 3rd grade, you don't move onto to 4th grade unless you pass Math and Reading. So definitely a sigh of relief! His report card was great too, all 3's with a couple of 2's. They get 1,2,3 instead of A,B,C.....3 being the highest. So.....4th grade here he comes!

Here is a cute picture that we took at the ballpark last weekend:

TPH in Detroit, MI

Harrison was invited to tryout for the Top 30 Prospects Hockey Program back in March. He was the only player from his team to make the team of 18 boys. They had a weekend training in Nashville back in Mid-April. Then, over the weekend of April 29 - May 2, we flew to Detroit to play in a tournament. Harrison had a great time with the boys off the ice, going to dinner, swimming in the indoor pool and hanging out at the hotel. On the ice though, was a different story. The coaches had him playing Forward, but he normally plays Center. This was frustrating for him and for us. We won 1 of the 4 games. We had a hard time getting goals for some reason. Probably because we have not been playing together all year like the other teams had.

On Saturday we had a six hour break, so we drove over to lake St. Clair. It was beautiful! We found the Edsel and Eleanor Ford Estate and drove in to take a tour. it is 87 acres so we just did the free walking tour. We were able to go in the Garage and the Playhouse. Here are some pictures of the estate:

Player of the Game

Harrison's hockey team was invited to play at Philips Arena after the Thrasher's game on Sunday, March 14. Also, he was chosen to be the Player of the Game! Which means he was able to dress in full gear, sit in the Penalty Box during the pre-game warm up, then skate out with the players during the National Anthem. This was a really cool thing for him to do and we were all very excited! Several of our friends and family bought tickets and joined us for the evening of fun. His fan club included: Nana Phillips; Papaw Lamar and Monica; Amanda, Greg and the boys; Louis and Linda; Nana Tammy, Phil and Jacob; Bronson and Tamara; MaryBeth and Bob! It was wonderful to see so many people there to support him! Jason stayed with him in the penalty box and they came up to our seats after the anthem. Once the game was over, we all went down to the seats on the glass and watched his team play against the Atlanta Fire.....and win! It was a great night all around! Here is the video of the anthem. Be sure your volume is up to hear them announce his name!

Champions AGAIN!!

Harrison's hockey team traveled to Nashville, TN this weekend to play in the Country and Western tournament. They started out a little rusty, but ended up winning the whole thing! Jason and Papaw Lamar went on the trip with him and they stayed at the Opryland Hotel.

Here is a video of one of his goals. He is #4 taking the face-off beside the ref.

SNOW............

Cobb County Schools closed 1 hour early on Friday because of the incoming inclement weather. It started snowing at 1:00 in Kennesaw and lasted until around 11PM. We got around 2-3 inches. Here are the pics to prove it!
