Photo Update & Fun Quotes!

The last couple weeks have been a lot of fun, other than still feeling a little sick with this bronchitis cough and congestion.  In an effort to narrow down the pictures in my cell phone, here is a photo-filled update on The Life and Times of Lindsey Claire! :)

Lauralai came with me to try out Planet Fitness... we did some cardio and then tried out the Abs Circuit room...

Followed by a massage chair and HydroMassage, both of which elicited some entertaining reactions! lol

This was taken from my office... a Sapulpa Police Officer was killed in Midwest City, so the flags at the courthouse have been at half mast for a while. :(

Random transition, but this = my favorite cake ever, the Ribbon Cake from Nikkellette's Cafe in OKC.  A layer of chocolate, a layer of banana cream, and a layer of white covered in whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and strawberries!  #yummers

"This is a trophy I made for Mamaw!"  ~Jaceman :)

Jaceman trimming the bushes. lol

Me and Missy K!

They love spinning around and around to this one song from Big Hero 6... then they get dizzy and knock each other down! lol

Rach and K-Faith at Mom and Dad's new house (in the process of being built).

Josh helping Jace climb up to get in the tractor.

So big! :)

Rach and I went to Kinkos to make laminated copies of this (a quote by Pastor Craig that Rach wrote out creatively)... watching her interacting with the arrogant salesman with no sense of humor was quite entertaining!

The Parrish fam!

Tara Lynn making breakfast for us after our morning walk outside last Saturday!

The food was really good, but I had been feeling nauseous earlier that day, and right in the middle of breakfast, had to run to the bathroom to throw up... so that was awkward! lol  
(...I blame it on her offering me a healthy glass of kraut juice that looked disturbing and smelled even worse. lol  #nothankyou)

Jaceman building a tall tower from the ribbon Mom and Rach were using for Rach's wreaths! lol

My four happy roses in the blue Mason jar from Jeff (from Chet's 25th bday party), plus my prayer journal (starting that back up after watching War Room) and homework from Kelly (an FBC mentor, thanks to Chet's persistence). =)

Girls dinner at Zio's to celebrate Mindi's birthday!!  She introduced Melissa (on her left) as "a friend from my divorce church" and then introduced me as "a friend from her cancer church!" lol

Kristin, me, and Mindi! =)

I was getting sick of the brassy blonde and the upkeep involved, so I went to Ulta and went back to my natural color... I'm loving it! :)  #yayfall

Sarah and I were discussing our New Year's resolutions (we're both determined to make this happen in the last four months of the year - lol) and one of hers was reading 6 nonfiction books, so I gathered these for her to try. #letsdothis

We had a "Memorialable Labor Day Weekend" road trip yesterday! lol 

We met at my house then Chet drove my car... it was Chet, Karli, Kyle, Sarah, and me. =)  Chet brought his CD of Sarah's OBI "Overcomer's Choir" to surprise her, which was pretty funny - she knew it right off the bat!  And I think she was more surprised that he'd listened to it enough to know all the songs! lol

Our first stop = a side trip to Pops!

Chet and Sarah with Bacon Lollipops! lol 

Chet and TK with their cherry limeade icees!

Our group with some of their strangest pop options... Buffalo Wing Soda, Ranch Dressing Soda, Maple Bacon Soda, etc.

The girls...

And the guys!

Fun selfie of our group at the lunch table!  (Kyle bought everyone's lunch at Pops, Mom made us fruity pebble rice krispie treats + strawberries and dip for swimming, my Dad bought everyone's dinner at Ted's, and Chet bought everyone's dessert at BJ's  -- YAY!!)

The Wilsons drip drying under the OU tent after swimming!

Sarah, me, and TK by the waterfall at JoBug's pool!

Waiting for our table at Ted's!

Me and Missy K again!

Carter took this one of Josh!

All the kids love the iPhone!  The other day, Jace asked if I had a certain kids app on my phone. I assured him I did not, and he said, "Let me just see your phone," then proceeded to FIND IT ON THE APP STORE.  What is even happening!? He is 3. lol  #outofcontrol And no, I didn't buy it.

 Could she be any cuter!?

The Jaceman and Sarah Elizabeth! :)

Whilst Mom was chatting it up with Tall Kyle, Kyndal Faith was slightly obsessed with Chet! lol  She called him about 5,000 times wanting him to watch everything she did.  Josh told her to give Chet a break and call Momma instead... so she said, "Momma!  Momma!" then as soon as Rach looked at her, pointed across the table and said... "CHET!" lol

Warm Oreo Pizookie with Ice Cream and cookies and cream whipped cream at BJ's!! #awesomesauce  Me and Sarah shared one and Chet and Karli shared one...

TK is only eating one dessert a month, so he got his own -- half Oreo and half Chocolate Chunk!

  

Group pic at BJ's... cheers-ing with our milk! lol

Road Trip Quotables:

"Yeah, I was even early.  Not, like, desperate early!"  ~Sarah telling a first date story

"Oh, I don't have anything to hide." ~TK, when Sarah said she didn't wanna go through his bag to find the gum

Chet skipped down my hallway imitating Jeff at the gym:
"What are those called? Lunges?" ~JEM
"Umm, that would be skipping." ~Chettles

"You are asking for bunionettes if you do that!" ~Chet, when I talked about getting Keds for the Disney trip! lol

"I write down a smiley face on good workout days, and a sad face when you're mean!"  ~JEM to Chet (about the gym diary he keeps, all of which cracks me up!)

"I so appreciate that you can see through fakeness."  ~Me to Chet
"You know, I may not have certain gifts..."  ~Chet Lee
"Oh, here we go!"  ~Sarah lol
"But I feel like God has given me discernment to know when people are being fake..." ~Chet
"Yeah, I think I have that too, but I don't blame it on God."  ~Sarah
"I don't think he was blaming Him - Chet thinks he's blessed!"  ~TK, laughing at Sarah's comment

"Not everything's about you, Chet!" ~Sarah

"Well, first off, that's part of my personality."  ~Chet 

"Encourage me!!"  ~JeffEd whilst working out with Chet

"Actually, I have talked about nodes quite a bit in my life!" ~Chet Lee

"Sometimes super quiet people make me nervous." ~Sarah

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with being quiet." ~TK :) 

"Kyle's a keeper!"  ~JoBug after talking to him a bit

"This is just nodes central!"  ~Chet, listening to Thirst by Phil Wickham

"Let's go with 'nodules' because 'polyps' is one of the most disgusting words ever. Right next to 'discharge!'"  ~Chettles, after Sarah read the definition of nodes - lol
