Lately

Here's a little from what we have been up to lately...

We did a little sledding.

Making cookies for Valentines Day.  Alex was a good taste tester.  

Brandon took Alex swimming one day.

Probably the highlight of the month for Alex was that he got to see the Lego Movie, not once, but twice.  It was no surprise that he loved it!

We even checked out the U of U gymnastics.  The highlight here for Alex was the ice cream.

The day after we saw the Lego movie Toys R Us was doing a free Lego activity.  Alex got to build his very own Emmett car.

Just being him.

Alex also got to attend his cousins Ninja Turtle birthday party.  Mikah turned 6 and Max turned 3.  Alex had a ton of fun.

Some Fun in January

I have to say I'm glad that another January is behind us.  That means it's one month closer to spring!  Despite the cold, dreary weather we were able to have a little fun this month.  

Alex has had a lot of fun with his playgroup friends.  

This month we welcomed the arrival of baby Jaryn.  Alex was so excited to meet him.  He is so cute!

Admiring his tiny feet.

Alex and I spent a day doing fun activities, just the two of us.  I kept waiting for him to tire out but it never happened.  I was just lucky to keep up.

Even though we are ready for spring Alex has enjoyed playing in the snow.

From the Phone

As usual some of my favorite pictures from the last few months have come from my cell phone.  Here they are:

Discovering our love for potato chips and cottage cheese

Alex's love for haircuts

Chilling at the dentist

Apparently this is what Alex is most grateful for.  I'm just glad I made the cut.

Rumpus with the cousins

What Alex wanted for Christmas.  He meant a Lego Millennium Falcon which is intended for 12 year old kids.

This was his reaction when I told him Santa couldn't bring him the Lego Millennium Falcon because he is too little.  Luckily by Christmas day he had forgotten all about it.  

More Lego building

At our ward Christmas party.  

 Silly boys

Making Gingerbread men with the neighbors

Recharging on Christmas day

More Legos, this time at the Library.

Christmas Nativity

Every year the Hettingers act out our version of the Christmas Nativity.  Our costumes are crazy but it is a good reminder of what Christmas is all about.  

Backstage.

The cutest Wise Man with his "gifts" for baby Jesus.  He was pretty concerned that he didn't actually have to give them away.

Christmas Lights

As usual the Hettinger family took another trip downtown to enjoy the Christmas festivities.  We visited the Grand America, enjoyed the windows at City Creek and finished the very cold night at Temple Square.  It was cold but fun as usual.  

Alex started off the night asleep in the car.
