The Freemans

Okay, I may have skipped a week, but I have been super busy. Life gets a little hectic sometimes!
Here we are looking at back at Easter this year. We couldn't have asked for a more gorgeous day.
We hosted some family at our house for Lunch. And than brought the boys outside for a fun Easter egg hunt. Jack really enjoyed this - I think Aunt Sarah and him hunted for his eggs 10 more times! He really found out how awesome the eggs were when he found goodies inside ;)

And checking out the goodies inside.

Jack recieved this cute insprired "Nemo" hat from Grandma Kris and ate it the next day!


Think it looks like him?


Brothers :)

Getting serious here...



A somewhat good pic of us two!



Finding out what its inside.



Yummies of course!


Sweet Henry - he'll get to enjoy it more next year ;)

I use to take Andrew to this pumpkin farm every year since he was 2 years old. Of course we stopped going a few years ago as he was getting older and too big for kiddie stuff like that - LOL!
Now with Jack and Henry on his way, looks like we'll be back on track to go every year again till they are "too big"! (of course Andrew had a blast showing his brother all the fun activities to do).
Every time I go to this farm, it gets better. This year they had a mini zoo where you could feed almost half the animals by hand, including a giraffe!
We had a great time!

The also had a camel you could ride.


Andrew had fun doing that!



The giraffe was really sweet and gentle. Jack wasn't too thrilled of him though!



Jack was more relaxed with animals his own size.

We finally made it to the Brookfield Zoo before the summer ended. This time around we decided to become a member and hopefully make it back at least once a month. I am really excited to finally attend their special exhibit in the winter time called Zoo Lights!

But back to our visit, we had a great time. Jack really enjoyed the animals, especially the monkeys (Brookfield Zoo has an amazing Monkey exhibit). Big brother Andrew helped him a lot by picking him up and getting a closer view. The day ended up being really nice and warm. We were definitely ready to head home once we finished up!



Jack of course wanted to get closer!


But this may be too up close and personal with a bat!


Loved getting close to the elephant standing by



Jack loved watching the monkeys - they were really active when we saw them.



Say cheese!





Roaming free like the animals!

A few weeks ago my cousin came into town with her 2 daughters from Texas. It was great seeing them and spending time. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate - it rained all day. But the kids still had a great time playing inside.

Abby, Andrew and Emma


So pretty :)


Jack Jack trying to sneak out of the basement up the stairs.


Love my attempt trying to get them to all smile at the same time - kids!


This would have been adorable if Jack was looking at me too! But still is!


Can't wait to see you guys again! It was too short.

We had another fun day at Ceco with Kevin, Diana and the kids. Unfortunately Andrew wasn't able to be there again, but he was in California visiting family - so I believe we have no argue there!
The weather was a lot nicer this time around and the water was a lot warmer. Jack really enjoyed this time around. I think he had more fun in the sand than the water though!

Here we are starting the morning off. He never wears his Cubs hat indoors, so I had to get a pic!


Getting use to the water.


Daddy playing with Jack - he really liked this.



Getting a rinse down from Grandma Kathy.



I'm KING of the Sand!
