Christmas 2009 - aka the blizzard Christmas

Can you believe all this SNOW!!!!!!!!!!

We were so in shock we just had to go lay in it!!!

We got all dressed up no matter the weather!!!

Look what we got for Christmas!!

Yes, it is true. We actually had a "blizzard" in Ardmore OK. It may be a first EVER!!! We also had a GREAT Christmas!!! We missed our Missouri family, but hopefully the snow will melt and we will be able to make it out next week to see them all!!!

Weekend in Ardmore

What did we do this weekend you might ask yourself??? Well, we had a famous Casey family weekend. Friday night we had a great dinner at home with some relaxing and FUN. Saturday was officially "family day!!! We slept in, well until 7:03 then lounged a little then headed to the music store so Jason could dream about an electric guitar (more about that later). Then we watched the great OU game, yay SOONERS. Then we headed to the lake with our tent and our grill and had a pretend camping out night. FUN was had by all. Thank goodness my husband can make a mean hamburger, and don't forget the smores with Reese's cups!!! If I wasn't already a Casey I would be trying to figure out how to become one!!!! I love this family.

First Day of SCHOOL

We were excited and a bit nervous but the day was a success. Jackson walked in like he owned the place. He was on the ball, literally, he decided to be the super cool guy who remembered to bring a basketball on the first day of school. He said by the last recess they had already played the championship!! His team won of course. Sidney said she was excited but her face and voice showed a different emotion. She did mention she was a bit nervous too!! Like sweet girls do, some girl on the play ground told Sidney she and her friends were not POPULAR and without missing a beat Sidney said they were too popular. She did ask me what popular meant when she got home!!!

Oh the things that are in store for all of us!!!

Happy Birthday JEAN!!!

Well, it finally happened...Jean is as old as Chris!!! It was bound to happen someday! What FUN we had with cake balls, singing, sack races, and good family!!! We love you JEAN!!!

Colorado trip 2009 aka first trip to the ER

We had the most fun in Colorado in July. We got to hike on the big ski mountian, climb on every rock that was in our path, paddleboat, see family (we love our cousins), swim, play at parks, see musuems, baseball games, aquariums, and visit the Emergency Room!!!! Yes, we had our first ER visit and it resulted in 8 staples in Jackson's head!! He is doing great now but it was a rough couple of hours. Other than that afternoon the trip was a blast. Oh, and Jason did great at his school. Just got his grades yesterday and he made all A's of course!!! We are so proud of him.

SURPRISE

Yes, that is right. . . Jason surprised us all with a birthday party for ME!!! (he didn't even tell the kids the plan, good thinking, we were all three very surprised!!!) As you know, Ardmore is a bit limited on restaurant options so when the one place I wanted to eat on my birthday was closed for remodeling I was a bit bummed. However, we managed to slip in without reservations (I am kidding of course!!) to the ever popular Mexican/Catfish restaurant. It was good but no Cafe Alley. . . we had agreed to go to my Mom and Dad's for dessert after dinner. When we got there I noticed a lot of cars parked next door and said, "Hey, it is my birthday and they are having a party, no fair!!!" When I walked in the house two or three of some of my favorite kiddos ran in and said SURPRISE!!!! It was so great to walk in and see all those friendly and loving faces!! Great job Jason!! I can't believe you pulled it off!!! What a great day!!!!!!!!!!
