Seeing Triple?!!!

One of the great things about having children of the same gender is that toys and clothes can be handed down to each one (if in good condition).   One such example is an outfit and toy that were given to Connor 7 1/2 years ago from cousin Shelly.  Since the toy and outfit matched, we thought it would be fun to take a picture of Connor holding the toy and wearing the outfit.  Jump 4 years later when Bryce was born.  Even after Connor's use and a big move, the toy and outfit still remained with us.  So when Bryce was old enough to wear it, another picture was taken.  Jump again 3 years later when Jordan was born.  After two other children's use and several moves later, the same outfit and toy are STILL around.  It was obviously a no brainer to take another picture.  In addition to the outfit and toy being the same, the chair they are all sitting on for the picture is the same as well!

How long will this cycle continue?  Your guess is as good as ours, but for right now"three times the charm"!!!

SNOWMAGEDEN!

Little did we know when Jordan wore this, we would wake up to SNOWMAGEDEN 

Just a few days ago NWA was hit with a record breaking snow storm.  Certain areas got as much as 2 feet of snow!  Needless to say the whole area was pretty much shut down, and offices closed.  The interesting thing about it was that the bulk of the snow came down in about 6 hours or so.  It was amazing to watch and be apart of this historical storm!

15 inches (I don't think we even saw this much come down all at once when we lived in Utah)

A fresh blanket of snow

Our rose bush is almost completely covered and the other plants completely!

Here is Dean carving out a path on our sidewalk

Tractorplow! At least we got something!

Just to get a clue how really deep it is, this is Dean who is 6 foot 6 trying to walk in it!

Our SNOWday fun!

These are now the morning after when we had near record low temps of below zero +

These icicles were amazing!

A gorgeous morning it really was!  

We really have so much beauty on this earth that Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ have given us!  

It truly WAS breathtaking!
