March in Arkansas-Hancocks came to visit!

Hancock family came up from Dallas to visit! It was sooo much fun! Braden and Jenna spoiled Austin and I hardly saw Austin all weekend!
Braden and Austin are so serious in this picture-like it was hard for both of them to outweigh Jenna on the other side haha.

I have proof that I got a little crafty! I made rainbow pudding cups for St. Patty's day with Corn Pops on top for the "gold".

Isn't Axel the cutest?! Sorry for the shadow-I'm not the best picture taker but he is sooo adorable and smiley. You don't have to work hard at all to get big smiles out of this little guy!

Austin loves to take the camera and snap pictures so I told him to point the camera at his brother. This one didn't turn out bad! Axel is now eating sweet potatoes and bananas. Yeah-I have hope that he will eat food one day!

Austin's addiction


Austin loves a good ol' pacifier! We are trying to cut back to one at a time haha. He will randomly feel a strong passion of love for the binkies and put two in at a time-glad we finally got a picture of it! I feel like I have discovered You Tube lately. It is seriously fun and addicting. We discovered nursery rhymes on YouTube to help Austin have a turn on the computer. We have created a monster as he wants to watch Wheels on the Bus frequently. It is almost scary how much our kids watch us and want to do everything that we do. Neither one of us can get on a computer without Austin having a turn.

We found the charger cord to our digital camera!







We finally found a charger cord for one of our cameras. Of course it is our old camera but it still works. It just takes about 15 seconds to actually capture a picture so you never get a picture of what you wanted:) Austin was cracking up at holding his little brother! The boys are growing like crazy! We went to The Little Gym this morning. Austin is like a wound up toy that gets released as soon as the door opens. He runs the entire hour and is the only kid to leave with sweaty hair. Well worth every penny we pay that place! He runs for every activity to get on before the next kid gets on. Luckily the other kids don't mind....at least don't mind yet. We tried to go to storytime at the library yesterday and Austin wouldn't let go of the bells and it wasn't time to play with them yet so we ended up leaving. Austin won...I believe he knows exactly what he is doing when he does that kind of thing. Boys truly just love to run wild and the sitting still thing doesn't interest him yet.
Tom has had fun at his new job. He got to discipline two guys last week that got into a fight after class at 10pm. One is an ex-marine and got suspended, probably will be expelled. The employees at the campus starting calling Tom Principal Mead. It seems fitting as he had to kick a guy out of the learning lab last week too. Tom has stories for a lifetime and we have only been here 7 weeks. He's great at his job and learning the operations side too.
We all drove out to Dallas a couple of weeks ago and had fun with the Hancocks! When Braden went to school, Austin would walk around their house saying "Braden, where are you?!" Very cute. Braden impressed Austin with his ability to blow bubbles from his hand with dishsoap and water. Braden could do no wrong in Austin's eyes. Jenna spoiled Austin too and I now realize why people have a child and wait 5 years. The older child entertains the 2 year old all day!
Axel is adorable and starting to crawl. He can definitely get what he wants. Austin was slipping him some Ritz crackers the other day and he ate them just fine so now Austin shares goldfish too. Axel won't eat baby food but he eats crackers and chips-my kind of kid!
