Snow Day

8:28 a.m.  Once upon a time, it actually snowed in Tucson, AZ.  The children were VERY happy!

Mom went and dug out the buried "Winter" box from the garage and they dressed up warmly to hit the slopes! (In this little clip, watch how this young boy imitates his elder sister almost to the T!)

8:37 a.m. The young girl began to roll and roll the body of the man of snow they would create.

The new 4 year old  looked adorable as she made a large ball of snow.

The young boy was not quite as helpful.  He could not resist sitting on every ball of snow that was created for the man of snow.

But I must admit, he did look rather cute sitting on his thrown of snow. 

Once there was a snowman...

Once there was a snowman

Tall, tall,

The sprinklers made him FALL  :(

(try again....)  Tall! :) 

8:58 a.m   The 2 children were very happy with their man of snow!  

Behind the scenes...you've gotta watch the whole thing!  So cute!

10:12 a.m.  Daddy came home from his early morning meeting and we introduced him to Chuck.  Poor chuck was already on his way to the land of H2O.  The sprinklers coming on in the making didn't help.

 In the sun he melted!

Then we go to church for ~4 hours (20 minutes driving each direction)

4:48 pm  This is all that remains!  Melted, melted, melted...

Small, small, small!!  The kids couldn't believe he was gone.   Sure was fun while it lasted though!  

Don't worry kids....he'll be back again someday!  

Sledding!!

While we were up in Logan staying with Dave's sister, Melanie, we went and sledded down Old Main hill!  Not much snow left for us (it's a popular sledding location...being in town and on campus), but we had a ball!

The cousins and Dave made a little snowman! 

Hanging out at the top-o-the-hill.  Abby looks SO happy in this picture. She loved it!

PUSH Abby!  :) 

Our poor little Joey.  He had one fun run, and then he simply started crying and would not stop.  It was aweful!  We tried warming him up in the car...we tried it all.  He was cold and mad and let the world know! Everyone else had a great time though!  I hope Abby will remember sledding with her cousins.

It's SNOWING!

It snowed quite a bunch while we were up in Utah over the holidays. I loved it! Abby had a blast sledding down Grandma & Grandpa Omer's front yard too!

We caught snowflakes on our tongues...

and licked our gloves! Life was good. Well, until the snow soaked through our pants and we thought we were freezing to death! What can you expect, we're Arizonans...and proud of it! :D

Snow pirate?

Today is Today!

Our blog is now up to date! Woohoo! No really, it's time to celebrate! That's a lot of work and it feels very good! I hope you can all enjoy the pictures I've posted and can feel a little more like you actually know us or at least something about our life. We are happy and doing well down here in Tucson. Super busy, but with good things that really help us appreciate all that the Lord blesses us with!

For fun:

Well, here's the random picture for the week! Don't you just feel cooler...like you can almost feel the snow falling? This is up Logan canyon in Utah on APRIL 1, 2006! APRIL! Awesome huh? We attempted to snow board that day. HA-HA! We were pretty wet and cold, but it sure sounds & feels heavenly to look & think back to it!
