Finally Summer!!

This has been a pretty perfect Memorial Day weekend!

Friday I stayed here and saw the new X-men movie. 

Saturday, me and the girlfranz drove to MWC. I got to meet Kristin and Diesel for lunch at Panera, which was great! Then watched the Thunder game 6 with Mom and Dad - which will need its own quotables post soon! lol Sunday was church, Pelicans for lunch, then burgers and hot dogs with Dad's fam at Nancy's! And this morning was our first summer swim at JoBug's pool, celebrating Babah's 80th birthday and having a blast! :)  And tonight, I went with Kelly and Elizabeth to the Tulsa Balloon Festival (it was too windy so they didn't actually have the balloons up, but we got a corn dog and some pineapple whip, and we got to go see Jeff's chickens, which is another new thing I'm embracing, apparently! lol) All super fun, and so many happy summery cute pictures!

Seeing her so happy just delights my soul! :)

Love them!

Babah's colorful b-day cake!

Jaceman digging into the icing! lol

Me getting to catch Miss K as she jumped in! :)

=) I love her new watermelon swimsuit!!

Backflips!

And backbusters! lol

Cuteness. He's so into sharks right now, so they got him some shark swim trunks!

Girlfriend keeps forgetting to close her mouth when she jumps in!

The balloon-less Balloon Festival! lol I like this pic! Very overcast and windy, but it felt nice and was fun to walk around and talk!!

Mmm, Pineapple Whip (tracked it - FlexPoints started over today, thankfully). =)

Jeff's chickens! :)

Whaaaaaat!? I held one!! For a few seconds. lol  After Kelly assured me it wouldn't be able to bite or peck me! ;)

The face on the tree in the Peavlers' backyard always cracks me up! :)

I love this one of Diesel! :)

A cute pic of Mom and Dad after their dinner with Bill & Jill tonight! (They just came back from NYC and brought my parents that hat from the Trump Store. lol)

One last pic of this preshface, taking off her sunglasses so she could jump in again!

Fun Flipagram of the whole weekend (in shuffled random order):

And now I'm off to Planet Fitness to watch what's left of Thunder game 7... I still believe they can pull it off, but I'm feeling alone in my optimism. lol  Anyway, I'm feeling very thankful and happy, and I hope you've had a good weekend too!

Phoning it In, Part 3! (Photo Friday)

Happy Friday, friends & fam!!  Hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend!

Without further ado, here's a plethora of recent pictures from my iPhone:

Bellsy all stretched out - so freaking cute!

The new Guts Church in Sapulpa... you can see their "Help People Win" slogan in the lobby. I took this one for Chettles, who's not a big fan of them! lol

This = my sent emails when LB and I were helping to proofread Paul Maxwell's book!  (These are the chapter titles, along with one on Lust, Depression, and Anxiety. He's an intense and wonderful author, and he had some wise, Godly, helpful insight on these heavy topics). Still, it made us laugh seeing them all lined up in the inbox!

A FB status from 8 years ago that made me laugh. #truth

This chair was Mom's before she and Dad got married. It's officially done for now that it's been at the Parrish house for a while! lol

My happy flowers!

Garlic avocado toast... better than it looks!

Sweet potato with avocado mixed in... way better than it looks! lol

Life goals. lol

Thanks for the reminder of our cancelled trip, Google.

Bridge over the NW Expressway in OKC that collapsed after being hit by a semi this past week... crazy! (No one was hurt, which is truly a miracle because that place is always busy.)

Going to see A Story Worth Living (John Eldredge and his three sons made an adventure film - a one night only event - I wouldn't have missed it!)

The cuteness of Hunter Park... these grandparents out fishing with their grandkids made me really happy!

Miss K and Mom and Rach checking out the blanket I got Mom for Mother's Day! Yay for Walgreens photo gifts!!

Missy and Babydoll.

Hilarious silly face by the Jaceman!

Taking turns is no fun - let's all climb on Mom at once! lol

My new wreath from Rach (and the Welcome sign she made me last year)!

My parents added the little concrete with chairs and umbrella area so people can sit out there comfortably and watch the kids playing! :)

J&K asking me to turn on the hose. Umm, no, but thanks for asking. lol

T-man wrote me a letter - and I wrote him one back! :)

Rach cracking me up with not proofing her texts. :)

The new memorial for police officers who were killed while serving.

My cute new kitchen towel - "More Sprinkles!"

My fun sparkly shoes on the last day of Propel group at Lindsay's!

Dad greeting at LifeChurch always makes me happy. :)

Ooouch! I have psoriasis on my fingers and scalp... it can be pretty painful sometimes. I've got some cream now that helps a little - I have the wrong job to have cracked, dry fingers.

A pic I'm not sure I ever posted from Jace's 4th birthday (which I missed).

I love this of him blowing out candles in his superhero cape and Chuck E. Cheese glasses! :)

A fun comment from Rachael six years ago!! :)

I want this bananas foster French toast for breakfast today. Also, to be there eating outside watching the fountains!

My parents garage tile... supporting the cowboys! :)

Evan hiding to surprise Jeff and Kelly on the Bachelor finale night!! lol

Rach painted this lion for a project she's working on... impressive!

My yard pre-landscaping. Yes, that is a huge tall weed on the right! lol

Allison Fallon asked people to write out the reasons they want to write and email her a pic. This was mine:

I like this quote, and it makes me think of how we adults need to have childlike faith and a soft heart that God can shape.

FB being ridiculous - randomly suggesting a month in advance that I create a FB event to celebrate Karli's birthday! Get out, Mark Zuckerberg! lol

My non-window view at work. lol

Me and Laura being silly at AMC!

Heroes in a half-shell! Turtle Power!! lol

The least fierce X-man ever! lol

(*Seeing this tonight - get excited!!)

Mmkay, that's finally all now! =)
