Today is my oldest younger brothers' birthday...woah that's a mouthful! My brother Matthew David Goodew turns 28 today, we are only 16 months apart and were often mistaken for twins growing up...I was "petite" and he was a rollie pollie!!! Here he is pictured with his wife Diana at my mom's 50th birthday party earlier this month!!! Happy Birthday Little Brother, we love you!!!

Bubble Fun

What to do on a dreary rainy day...play with Bubbles!!! My uncle PJ bought the girls battery operated bubble guns, what a great invention! The girls love them and we can sit outside on our front porch even in the worst rainstorm and still enjoy the outdoors!!!

Graduation 2009

It's that time again...graduation!!! This year we had 6 students from our church graduating from high school!!! Unfortunately we were in Tennessee a few weeks ago for 2 of the ceremonies and last weekend we were sick with a stomach virus and we missed another one :( But this weekend the kiddos and I had the privilege of attending my cousin Ryne's high school graduation...an awesome opportunity at such a pivotal time as they begin the next chapter of their lives! It was a great graduation ceremony and our cousin Kristi even flew in from Minnesota!!! Congratulations to all the 2009 Graduates!!!

Age Progression

The girls and I made "Farms" as our craft the other day...I thought it was interesting as I hung them up on the fridge to see the age progression...
