My Life From My Phone

I love getting the miniSD card out of my phone, plugging it into my laptop and walking down memory lane via the pictures I find hidden there.

I see silly dress up, crazy outfits and fun crafts.

I find my husband sporting cowboy boots and rolled up pants shooting a water pellet gun, a wild pop machine at Wendy's and some super yummy sweet potato chips.

I find coffee. Lots of coffee.

A memory of a strand of lights burnt out. And a man with the tools to fix it.

Gluten free pizza... I always have to snap a picture of that.

Angry birds pictures, paper messes and our albino squirrel "Snowbell" eating our pumpkins.

Awesome Schwinn bikes and the picture proof that my younger two girls can still fit in the back of a cart together.

Our peaceful school moments recorded...

A larger-than-the-people cat in a house, my Assemblies of God credentialing card and a Pinterest hairstyle attempt.

Jeremy and his mom turning the couch upside down to fix an annoying squeak and finding a quarter in the process. Jeremy and his dad duct taping the back window of our truck because of a leak during a rainstorm. And, coffee. And, gluten free graham crackers smothered in Nutella and dipped in whipped cream. Yum.

Oh, and these precious girls, counting down the days until Christmas.

Which for us is, uhm... tomorrow.

Merry Goodwin-Christmas Eve!

Not Me! Moments from my Cell Phone

I have missed playing along with Mckmama and her Not Me! Monday posts.

She started them back up and I'm just now getting a chance to join in.

I love pulling pictures from my cell phone because they seem to hide in there for a long time and then when I go to sort through them, I find fun forgotten moments to share!

So, here is a Not Me! Cell Phone Edition.

I did not eat this whole gluten free pizza by myself.

Nor did I go back a second time to finish off ANOTHER whole pizza by. my. self.

I did not show up to church in an almost identical outfit to my good friend Julie. We did not mention it to each other and then just have to snap a picture of our twinness.(linking this picture of two Mommys and their babies with Krystyn @ Really Are You Serious for Mommy and Me Monday!)

I did not take a picture of Abby with my new camera because she looks so tiny holding it up to her eye.

I did not take these pictures that scream "I'm the wife of a hunter/outdoorsman" with my phone. I would never want these gross things to be stored on my SD card.

I do not have a husband who would wear the above while hunting or catch/freeze/pin the below.

I did not put my niece in the back of the truck so the girls could pretend she was riding home with us.

I did not take this picture of the "Welcome to Ohio" sign because you know I never leave the state. ever.

I did not make my girls pose with this sign after getting Abby her pink boots for the wedding. We are surely not country store, pick up truck and boot people.

I did not see this while driving down the road. Remember, I don't ever drive anywhere.

I do not drool over the buttered rolls at Logans. No. Not Me.

I do not positively adore these cute cousins of Jeremy. They are not just the sweetest girls ever. And, we were not on our way out for ice cream after our fun day of renewing our vows.

I did not buy this cute watch at Von Maur for $9!

And I would not have actually worn MY boots while driving the truck.

Nope! Not Me!

Moments Captured by Phone

I think some of my favorite posts are made with pictures from my phone.

They are the moments that maybe were tweeted out on twitter or maybe were completely forgotten in the hustle and bustle of life.

But moments captured by phone are worth sharing.

They are simple moments, fun moments, silly moments and funny moments. They are captured right in the midst of real life.

So, back by popular demand, er, rather one demand via text message anyway...

Here are some moments captured by my phone.

Big summer sunglasses...

Checking out the hot driver of this pickup truck... (thankfully the hot driver is my hot hubs!)

A bike trip on a hot day... taking a quick stop for Wendy's Frostys!

Crazy hot temps...

Egg in a Whole for breakfast... something fun my mom used to make for us and now something I make for my girls!

Catching lightening bugs in a jar...

Leaving for another ride to a friend's house...

Being totally embarrassed by my hot hubs because he wore is HELMET in Meijer. All. Through. The. Store.

Guess which little girl is wearing a Darth Vader hat with sound effects and all in the thrift store? Yes, slightly gross, but hilarious. She had everyone laughing... that's what Goodwin's do!

Completely, 100% wore out at Family Camp from all excitement...

Sweet, cold ice cream cones...

Putting my kids in the lazy vehicle for a trip to Columbus with the lazy family... Stacey loved me for that one!

Seeing their cousin for some family time!

My man looking over the tree damage... He was sure cute up on that roof. And, he got seriously DIRTY. I threw the shirt away. that's how dirty.

Yes, fun summer moments captured by my phone.

Do you have moments that are locked on your phone?

I'm sure you do!

Time to pull out that memory card and post some of your captured moments!

Link up anytime in the next week. Be sure to link back here so others can join in the phone pic fun. Hop around and visit some new blogs too. We all love us some new comments!

And, if I'm not by to visit your post, I will be sometime soon... well, as soon as I can get to it anyway... we have another week of camping fun coming up... can we all say, "250 or more 3rd - 5th graders??"

Anyway...

Favorite Things

 

The warm weather is has been so wonderful this week.

 

Yesterday, the girls and I stayed outside for over an hour. Them playing, me soaking up some sun.

 

Wonderful...

 

Here are my favorite things:

 

Warmth of the sun after many cold wintery months.

 

Children laughing on bikes and scooters

 

Pretend camp fires built with little sticks from the yard

 

Laughter coming through the screen door

 

I've been drinking coffee more lately... something about it is so cozy.

 

Skinny Carmel Macchiotto Creamer

 

Caribou Decaf K-Cups

 

Big Coffee Mugs full and warm

 

I realized that we are ahead in our homeschool curriculum... only 7 weeks to go.

 

Being the teacher, principal and school board all wrapped into one has it's perks.

 

Taking a 3-day break from school this week

 

Letting my girls read library books all day

 

And coloring on the floor at piano lessons

 

 

Not stressing about the calendar or daily schedule

 

Watching more pbskids than normal

 

Seeing God speak to my girls about friendship and forgiveness through a Barbie Movie

 

Reading lots of books myself

 

and studying SoulPrint, the book I'm using in our ladies Sunday School class right now

 

watching my husband teach the girls how to make music with a glass at Olive Garden

 

Smiling at the creativity of my middle daughter

 

So many favorite things today. So many blessings to write down.

 

So many moments to live.

My phone catches the craziest things...

It is always interesting to check the pictures that are hidden on my phone memory card.

My phone sure does catch the craziest pictures.

Sometimes there are fun pictures of these two cute girls...

A tooth that was lost at the mall...

A dog that was played with at the mall...

And an escalator ride.

Candy lips from Grandma.

And a really messy crayon bin.

A picture I caught of myself to show my sister that I actually wore the jewelry from this post. Please excuse my very dirty bathroom mirror.

An orange picture of the Lazy Mom and I at Chipotle. They seriously have some weird lighting going on over there.

My husband driving a shopping cart at Sams Club. They should not have left one unattended right in the middle of the isle. Someone thought that it was left there just for him.

The kids doing the motions for the word POWER in Acts 1:8.

And, Elayna doing a full extension in her cheer practice for our homeschool group.

Yeah, my phone catches the craziest things.

Sometimes the most fun moments of our lives get locked inside my phone.

It is fun to go back through them and take a look!

What memories are locked inside your phone?
