Winter Wonderfulness

It's been a while, so I'll post a little of what we've been up to lately...


It's not everyday that you get all the grandparents together. We have Grandma May, Sean, Grandpa Heers, Great-Grandma Heers, Riley, Great-Grandma Silvestri, Jason, Grandma Heers and Kyle. What a great looking group!


After several hunting trips, Sean and Ben finally had a successful one! We ate duck for dinner...believe it or not, the boys absolutely love it. Yes, we're a little weird around here:)


Jason, Kyle and Sean in some serious powder!




Cousin Carlie and Kyle sporting their awesome bandanas. Kyle has worn his every day this week. He calls it his "hat costume" and says he is ready for Halloween.


We went to Temple Square to see the Christus statue. What is so neat, besides everything at Temple Square, is that the voice of the Christus Statue is Ben's dad. So our boys got to go listen to Grandpa May. It brought sweet tears to my eyes.



My angel baby!



Jason on our snow cave/igloo. We all worked hard on this one!



This is New Years' Eve with cousins. Bonnie is in the background and Kyle is hugging Madsen. We had so much fun playing with cousins, hanging in the hot tub, watching a movie and having yummy gingerbread waffles for breakfast.

You have some great pictures that will be fun to look at later on in life. So cool that the voice of the Christis statue is Ben's dad. I still remember the first time we went there. I was just a little girl and when the voice started talking it felt as though it was talking to JUST me! So awesome to know I have a connection to that voice now!

ok I'm crying with tears of joy remebering all the great memories of Jim May. How cool is it that we can go to temple square to once again listen to his voice. I am sure he has met Christ.
Loved all the other pics. The duck was really good huh???
Love you guys.

I had no idea that Christ's voice was Ben's dad. Really neat.
Jason's dimples are killer. Looking at the picture of Riley, I now think Soren has some serious competition for cutest baby! What a happy looking boy.
The igloo/ice cave is so cool! What a great idea. You guys had some serious snow there, wow.
I miss hanging out with you guys! We'll probably be home this fall, so we'll resume then!
