Busted

I bought this little riding toy for Ethan at the last consignment sale. Today, Olivia found it and was pushing it around the house. When I caught up to her with my phone she had the "I'm busted" look on her face. lol

Unlimited Go-Karts!

Fred & Janet took the grandkids to a Go-Kart place today while the adults did a little outlet shopping. They were able to buy wristbands for pretty cheap that allowed the kids to ride unlimited on all the different tracks. I think they had as much fun here and they did Dollywood!

Dollywood

We spent the day at Dollywood! We haven't been since Caleb was little and found that it has really grown and has a lot of great rides! We plan to go back soon!

Gatlinburg

It's Spring Break, so the Corley crew came to Gatlinburg to spend a few days together in a Mountain chalet. Today we drove over the mountain and into North Carolina where we found this historic farm that was pieced together with buildings from all over the mountain. It was really neat to see how people lived way back when.

Easter!

It is so hard to get 5 kids all looking at the camera and smiling at once! I love my beautiful children and couldn't imagine life without them all!

What a Mess!

I decided to let Olivia try a food pouch today because she could feed herself while I got some work done. Big Mistake!! It was everywhere!! We will be waiting a few months before we attempt this again!

Bow Ties

Courtney asked me if I could make her boys bow ties to match the girls dresses for Easter. I love trying new things when it comes to sewing and I'll usually tackle whatever my customers ask me to make. I think the bow ties turned out great!!

Be Still!!!

It is impossible to get a good picture of Olivia unless she is sleeping. I always have to run ahead of her and get her on the move because she is never still!

OCD Closet

I love organized closets! I cleaned out Ethan's closet today. His will stay this way since I put his clothes away. The big boys put their own away and Caleb is the only one that does it in color order like me. The twin's closets are chaotic!

China Cabinet Project

I found this China Cabinet on the Clarksville Yardsale FB page for $100! It's exactly what I imagined putting in this space. It needs to be painted and all the doors need to be put back on, but once I find the time to do that, I think it will be perfect. :)

Headwear

Olivia's latest thing is pulling clothes out of the hamper and wearing them on her head. She walks around for a while before going back to the closet to pick out something new to wear.

Books!

Olivia has become obsessed with books lately. She is constantly bringing me books to read to her. I have to read fast because her favorite thing about reading is flipping the pages.

Stuck in the Mud!

Today, we had to drop a stone sample off at a house that our friends are building. When we went to leave, we got stuck in the mud. Jeremy tried everything he could think of to get us out, but nothing was working. He called his buddy, Bubba, and asked him to come pull us out with his truck.

Mommy Made Bubble

I've made several of theses bubbles out of adult sized Matilda Jane dresses and have been selling them on the Matilda Jane FB groups. Ladies love to coordinate themselves with their daughters and babies with their sisters. Isn't it sweet?

Doll Bed

I found this old metal doll bed at an antique store several months ago. Janet, Jeremy's mom, made bedding for it to match Olivia's bedding and gave it to her for Christmas. Today, I found Olivia had crawled on it to play with her baby. :)

Lip Sync Competition

Caleb participated in the Lip Sync Competition at his school. It was fun to watch him totally out of his element. I was so proud of him for getting on stage and acting goofy in front of the whole school. Notice he borrowed his dad's old Michael Jordan Jumpsuit. lol

Muffins with Mom

Olivia and I went to Ethan's school for "Muffin's with Mom" today. He didn't think I would come since it was early in the morning, so I surprised him by showing up. He was so excited!

This is Chad Winn's sister, Dawn. She loves to play with Olivia on Wednesday nights. Tonight, Olivia had my phone, so Dawn surprised me by taking their selfie. :)

Paper Products Cabinet

Playing in the Tupperware cabinet is for babies!! Big girls play with paper plates and napkins! This has become Olivia's favorite cabinet to play in and boy does she make a mess!

MJ Bubble

I bought this sweet little bubble for Olivia, I tried it on her today and I think it will be too small by the time it is warm enough to wear. It's a good thing I can sell it for what I paid for it... Matilda Jane resale is amazing!

Dr. Seuss Week

This week has been Dr. Seuss Week at Ethan's school. Today they were allowed to dress up. Ethan asked for a real Cat in the Hat hat, so I ordered him this one on Amazon. Can you guess what he's going to be for Halloween this year?? lol

Big Kid Carseat

I put Olivia in Ethan's carseat when I went to pick him up from the bus stop today. She thought she was big stuff and loved looking forward.

Can we get in the tub with Olivia??

These 3 boys love to play with Olivia in the bath... I guess we should have made her bathroom bigger. Ethan gets in with her sometimes and the twins ask if they can get in with their bathing suits, lol. The answer will always be NO!

Primary Voting

Jeremy and I went to vote in the Primary tonight. We took Olivia with us and she had the attention of everyone waiting in line. She is such a little ham!
