You have a restriction in the A/C line causing it to freeze up. Wherever it is froze, look at what comes right after the freeze. Chances are that is where your restriction is. Usually it is at the orifice tube. I'm not sure where your orifice tube is located. I'll bet it is in that line. It's a long thin filter type tube that is supposed to catch debris/dirt from running through the system. It goes inside the line. If you look at the line where it fattens out and should have a connector at that point, that is where it should be. Don't do the repair yourself. Have a shop do it so they can suck out the refrigerant and recharge it right away.
