Snow on Justen's Birthday: 2-10-09

Justen went out to play in the snow at 2:am on his 23rd birthday! It rarely snows here so it was a real treat!


Here's another picture of him in the snow. I can't believe my baby is this old! Although he has quite a bad case of dandruff. LOL


Graffiti on my car in the snow! I wonder who did it?


The snow stuck to the ground for a little while but it was gone by noon.


Jess really wanted to go out into the snow but I'm a mean Mom and wouldn't let her. It was late and I really wanted to get her to bed... not out in the snow and cold!

SNOW DAY!

Amazing! The snow is still here this morning! Not only that, but the kids got a SNOW DAY! I don't know of any other time there has been a snow day in Tucson! It's amazing, all the bridges and many roads are closed and for about an hour we didn't know where Justen and Brandon were. Justen had left to take Brandon to school and then we found out that the school was closed for the day. Karl went out to find the boys and couldn't get past one bridge that goes over a wash... eventually we found out that Justen took several detours to get around closed roads to get Brandon to school. When they realized the school was closed, they had to take more detours to get back home. Fortunatley they got home ok. Now Karl is off to work to help close more ramps on the highway. It's only 25° outside right now - our low was 23°. Pretty crazy for the desert!

Stay tuned, more snow pictures to come later on in the day!

It's Snowing in Tucson Arizona!

Austin really enjoyed playing in the snow!




Jessica and Brandon in the snow... Jessica was trying to catch snowflakes on her tongue. Jessica said that today is the BEST DAY EVER! Jessica can't travel to the mountains to play in the snow due to her heart/lung problems - we tried it when she was 6 years old and we almost didn't make it off the mountain in time! It rarely snows here in Tucson so it was a special treat for her to be able to play in the snow.



This is Bill. Brandon made this snowman on the swing.

Look at how much snow has accumulated on Karl's patrol truck.


The palm tree's leaves are weighed down by the snow.


We've never had this much snow in Tucson before! Look at how much snow is on the tree.
