I think Jack has learned to LOVE Easter. What kid doesn't love finding treats in eggs? We let him find eggs in our yard on Saturday morning because we wouldn't be home on Easter. Once he realized there were goodies inside, he was determined to find all of them. He kept saying "more, more".

 Midwestern was having an Easter party and it was great! They had multiple egg hunts, divided by age groups. I thought Jack would love it, since we had a little practice already. He did, except that he stopped to open each egg as he found them. So... he ended up with 4 eggs. He was happy :)

 Mr. Hiett is always happy. He loved being outside and watching everybody run around.

 They had bounce houses for the kids. I think Jack could stay in there all day, if we let him.

 Jack was not deathly afraid of the Easter bunny, I though he would be. Hiett was only interested in his hands.

 They got their Easter baskets Sunday morning. Jack loved his new toys, but he did not love taking pictures. He's sort of stubborn...

 He was good for this picture.

 Hiett loves to eat my phone, so I got him his own. It's not good enough, though. He still would rather have mine.

 Jack wouldn't take a picture with me, only my mom. And Hiett's eyes are closed. We were not doing so well before church.

 

 And it was a DISASTER after church.

 It's like he hates me. It was nap time, so we'll blame it on that.

We did another egg hunt at Aunt Rachel's with our cousins. Jack did pretty well.

 Rachel's kids are the best! They are so good and patient with Jack and helped him find eggs.

 Not another picture!

 Here's Grandma with all 7 grandsons, age 5 and under.

 When we're at my moms so Josh can study, we facetime with him. It's hard to see his face, but Josh was making Jack laugh and I thought his face was so funny.

 And finally, the best for last. Aunt Julz (Jack says that now, it's cute) took the cutest pictures of our boys. I might be biased, but I think they are the most handsome boys ever! That first one shows how their relationship really is. They love each other. Not 100% of the time, but it is close. I'm grateful they are brothers and that they have each other. I hope it lasts through out their lives, they're going to need one another in this life. I'm so Blessed.

Christmas 2013

We went to Bass Pro Shop to see Santa and Jack had so much fun!

Hiett didn't care much, he may have been tired.

Jack liked Santa until it came time to sit on his lap. Maybe next year he won't cry.

Jack was sad about something, but on the other side of that fence was a train. He watched it for so long!

We got a picture with my Grandma & Grandpa Freeman... Minus Bryce. He missed it. Our family is getting bigger and in about a month we'll have 2 more little boys! So excited!!

I promise Jack's not choking him, but we had to get a picture by the tree on Christmas Eve.

We're stealing a couple traditions from Josh's parents. We have our white stocking where we'll put our goals for the next year. Our present to the Savior.

The other tradition is BALLOONS! Jack loved them that morning and for days after Christmas. And then had fun popping them with just his hands. He's brave cause that scares me :)

Christmas Morning picture with Dad

And with Mom.

I didn't have a picture with Josh's parents and the boys. Hiett wasn't cooperating, neither was Jack actually. I'm still glad I got one, though.

We had an awesome Christmas and got to spend all day with family. Jack and Hiett got so many fun presents and we are so grateful for our generous families who made Christmas so fun. We are also grateful for our Savior who sacrificed so much for us and made it possible for us to be a family forever. Merry Christmas (late, of course) and Happy New Year!

We blessed Hiett this month and it was such a beautiful day! Hiett didn't cry at all during his blessing and we had so many family members and friends there. We had lunch at our house afterwards and it was so yummy! It was so nice to have people over to our house and to have such a special day for our little Hiett. Thanks to all those who came and helped with the lunch, everyone helped make it a great day!

So Josh had this lovely mustache through the month of November. The only good thing about it was that we got this picture. I think Josh is handsome but I'm not a fan of the stache.

Julianne took pictures of Hiett and she got some cute ones! Considering the fact that he did not cooperate, she did a good job. I think he is just a handsome little man!

Jack did not do well at all this year visiting Santa! He seemed so excited to see him, until he got up close. He cried and cried! At least Hiett was brave.

Jack and his fighting buddy, Britain.

Bass Pro Shop is the best! Jack had a ton of fun looking at everything... and going up and down the stairs.
