New Years Eve Crew

We invited some of our closest friends over to celebrate the new year instead of hosting a huge social. It was great to have a more intimate group... does that mean I'm getting old??

"Wood" Wall

We've decided to do some decorating in the basement and started with this wall. Jeremy had a cart full of lumber ready to buy at Lowes and then I found this peel and stick laminate flooring. Works perfect for the wall other than needing stronger adhesive and it was a lot cheaper and easier to install.

Serious Gaming

I walked down to the basement to see what Andrew and Matthew were doing and found them facing off in a serious game of Guess Who. I don't know why they didn't turn the lights on, but it looks like a real interrogation.

Twister

Look at these goofballs! Twister is never a boring game with these guys!

Game Time

You guessed it, we are playing board games at my moms. I love having this quality time with my family.

Grandma's Grandkids

We drove to Arkansas today to celebrate Christmas with my side of the family. Here's my mom with most of the grandkids... Warren and Anna are missing.

Christmas Morning

All my babies on Christmas morning! I love this picture!!

Milk and Cookies for Santa

Ethan & Olivia put out the milk and cookies for Santa tonight. Taking pictures of an almost 2 year old is hard!! I think she made every expression she has! Matthew asked her where her belly was at one point. Hello... not helping!

Skittle Trick

Check out what Flynn did today! He left this plate of skittles with directions to pour hot water in the center... look what it did! So cool!

Christmas Cookies

Making Christmas cookies is a tradition I would like to continue, I love how everyone got in on the action!

Presents!!

I'm feeling accomplished because I have all of the presents wrapped before Christmas Eve! Jeremy helped me this year and it is so much faster with 2 people!

Santa Picture

We went to an Austin Peay basketball game tonight and Santa was there!! Olivia wasn't too sure about sitting in his lap.

Left, Right, Center

We play the game "Left, Right, Center" whenever we were together. I was the big winner today!

Corley Christmas PJ Picture

Time for our annual Corley PJ Picture!! I love looking back at these to see how much everyone has grown.

Twinning with Londyn

We ran into the Brooks at the FLC today and Londyn had on the same outfit as Olivia!

Wisdom Teeth

Caleb had his wisdom teeth cut out today, poor guy looks like a chipmunk!

TPed Tree

Flynn wasted a few rolls of our toilet paper today, he covered the whole tree!

Homework with Cubbie

Caleb was doing homework at the kitchen table, so Olivia got her coloring book so she could do hers too. Love it!

Life Size Elf on the Shelf

Ethan is so funny! He put on this elf hat and moved around to different places in the house sitting like this until I found him. I love how he has his eyes to the side like Flynn.

Lights are Done!

Jeremy finished the outside lights today, doesn't it look great!!

Flynn's Photo Booth

This guy cracks me up!! Check out his photo booth!

Book Ends

I love getting pictures of Caleb and Olivia together. There's 16 years between them but they are tight! Olivia thinks he hung the moon!

Biggest Fan

Olivia is the boys biggest fan, she loves going to the FLC to watch them play basketball!

Flynn's Tree House

Our elf, Flynn, is back with his silly antics. Today he built a tree house in our Christmas tree!

Office Ping Pong

Jeremy bought this table top ping pong set for his office.... not sure how much work him and JB are going to get done now!

Unicorn Rocker

We went Christmas shopping at TJMaxx tonight. Olivia found this unicorn and refused to get off!

Doll Bed

Olivia has recently started playing with her doll bed a lot. Today I found that she put 6 of her babies in there and covered them up.

Outdoor Lights

Jeremy and Caleb just started putting Christmas lights on the house, I can't wait to see it when they are done.

Olivia & Londyn

Olivia and I went to Courtney's for her Matilda Jane Open House. I love that Olivia has a friend a couple doors down.

All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth!

We heard about a contest on the radio where you send in a picture of you missing your front teeth to be entered to win a prize... here's Ethan's.

FInally in his own bed!

Ethan has been sleeping with one of the twins since we moved here because he was scared to sleep alone in his room. Tonight was his first night!

Tree Decorating

While I wish that all the kids would help decorate the tree, it has fallen down to Ethan and Olivia. They both love to help!

Reading Together

Ethan loves to read to Olivia, the are always snuggled up together sharing a book. So sweet!

Pretty Little Deer

Andrew & Olivia were playing with Snap Chat together, she makes a pretty deer.

Bass Pro with Punk

My dad met us at Bass Pro Shop to visit on our way back home today, it was so good to see him!

Wiped Out

My sweet baby girl fell asleep sitting on the couch today, she is so precious!

Monopoly

We always play a lot of games when we are staying at my moms. Monopoly is Caleb's favorite game, he was thrilled when the others agreed to play.

Thanksgiving at Mandy's

We celebrated Thanksgiving at my sister's house this year. This is her son, Jared, isn't he a cutie!

Oh Lord!

We were talking about Caleb's senior pictures at Fred & Janet's tonight. Next thing I know she lays these precious gems out for me to see! I died! I have never seen them before now. I guess after 18 years of marriage she decided I wasn't going anywhere! LOL

Silent Auction

Our church does a silent auction to raise money for missions every year. This year I made this cute cross hat for my donation.

Christmas Card

We took family pictures for our Christmas card today, I love how it turned out.

Wet Hair

Olivia's hair looks so much longer when it is wet and straight!

Ethan Hoops

Ethan played this morning, this is his team eating their snacks after the game. He is such a cutie!!

Twin Hoops

This is what I got when I asked the twins for a picture after their Hoops basketball game.

Bow Board

Olivia's bow collection has grown bigger so I made this board for keeping them organized... I love how it turned out!

Squeezy Mess

I would really like for Olivia to be able to eat these squeeze pouches because it would so much easier when we are out, but she continues to make huge messes.

Power Chair Ride

There was a power chair left in the parking lot at Walmart, so Jeremy and the kids rode it back into the store. Ethan loved getting to drive and Jeremy thought it was quite funny.

Andrew's Dummy

Andrew & Matthew had a CPR lesson in their health class today. They were give these dummies to practice on.

Be Still!

I was trying to get a picture of Olivia in the PJs I got for the family so I could show Wendy. The kid wouldn't quit jumping long enough for a picture, so this was the best I got. She is never still!!

Olivia's Closet

I reorganized Olivia's closet today and took out things that she has outgrown. I may have a small Matilda Jane addiction!
