Well now that I am done beating myself up over letting my p365 project go, I am going to join in on the phone pic fun. My friend Amy over at a good life blog has been at this for a while now and I figure I will give it a try.

I love the idea of still taking a picture everyday but not having to kick myself if a day or two slips by without a click of a camera.

So here is how our week went:

After Kaylee and I finished a great Stroller Strides workout, we headed down to Burfoot Park and hung out on the water. After some fun and sun down in the Sound we took Kaylee fishing and she caught her FIRST fish! Well, Isaiah did most of the work because at 2yrs old she doesn't have the patience to sit there with a pole but it was super fun watching her get excited! At the end of the night we snapped a quick belly pic to start the blog posting journey of Baby "T"

We started off the day at Cutters Point for a little tea for me and cocoa for Kaylee (oh ya...and their amazing chocolate bread...the real reason we needed to go)
I ended my day hanging out at work. Yep....hanging out is how I think of it because the three of us have such a good time.

Nothing better than a Stroller Strides workout!!
Isaiah tricked us from coming home so he could surprise me with a nicely mowed lawn so we had a girls date at Taco Time.
A little reading before nap time and then tea party before bed.

Rain, rain, rain!! At least it was a fun workout!
Kaylee asked to take pictures of herself in the car and she is starting to get the hang of it.
We played at the library for a bit before lunch time and then had a play date with some friends.

Friday!!! Yea!!
Kaylee brought her instruments to make some music while I worked out.
Then it was nap time...oh ya
The sun was shining so we headed to the park for a bike ride.
Kaylee was acting goofy while practicing for our super cute family pictures!!
{post to come of these AMAZING pictures by none other than my bestie Amy}
After pictures, it was off to Target to reward Kaylee with her very own Rapunzel doll.

This was so fun to do!!
I can't wait to start next week!!

Today was National

so Kaylee headed in to take over as the big boss in Lakewood

Here is how her productive work day went:

Like any good employee she showed up in full uniform...
shirt (check) lanyard (check) name tag (check)

First thing you do is clock in for the day

Then check some emails
Review over yesterdays numbers and go over the business plan for the day

Greet customers, sell them some stuff, then thank them for their business with a big hug
(its a little over board for her first sale but she's still learning)
Grab a quick drink in the office before talking on a few company conference calls
Count and check inventory that needs to be ordered
Then finish out the day with a little play time and dancing

All in all it was a great day at the office!
Until next year......

I am actually really proud of myself. I looked back through the last 14 weeks and I am so glad I am doing this. I love being able to document the small things in life. I love how blogging allows me to have a personal journal, a baby book for Kaylee, and a family photo album together all in one place!

This week was by far one of the best weeks of my life.
I would rate it in the top three life changing events as a adult for sure.
Hitting the 5 year mark of marriage felt pretty incredible. Not only have we surpassed 45% of the United States marriages but we recommitted ourselves to each other for time and all eternity. The best part was Kaylee was able to be a part of it all. I'm not saying the last 5 years haven't had their highs and lows, but to see how much we have grown together and the decision we have made together for our family bring tears to my eyes.
So here's how the week played out!

study, study, study!!

House hunting begins! I really wish this could have been an EPIC post being that it is #100 and all but unfortunately we were the 6th family to view this lovely home so we kinda knew we weren't getting it. We are ready for a house big enough the entertain in with a yard so we will keep looking to see whats out there. But in p365 it doesn't matter, its a picture of what we did that day right??

Happy 25th Birthday Lindsey!
She is such an amazing person. She had us over for breakfast for her birthday!
It was AMAZING!!

This is where Kaylee fell asleep for nap time today. Amazing how she just goes and goes and goes and then just crashes.

Eye lash extensions for the big day! It took about an hour and a half to put each one on. They looked amazing!

{104/365}
I love target! Amy and I met at the mall for some last minute shopping before the big day!
I ended up going to my favorite store, TARGET, to pick up a cute outfit to wear to the temple. Love, love, love TARGET!

{105/365}
Happy 5 yr anniversary!
Our day was filled with love, joy, faith, and a life changing day at the Portland Temple.

After a great workout at Stroller Strides!

My drive home from work actually included sunshine!!

Finally getting back into the swing of things. I started school this last week and this morning I have about an hour of free time so I figure I should catch up on some blogging.
Here is the last few days of vacation and then it was back to the real world!

Enjoy!

I just had to get a close up picture of me and my favorite animal at the Miami Zoo

Coming home :(

{82/365}
Hide and seek in the house because it is of course RAINING outside!!

Kaylee came out of the bathroom to show me she found my makeup brush. She actually did a good job applying her eye shadow but ..... shhhh..... don't tell daddy!! :)

Until next time......

Forgot to take a pic this day so these are a preview of the next day!! My birthday flowers!

Last Saturday Isaiah and I took Kaylee bowling for the first time with some of our friends.

We had such a great time. We of course are "new" parents and didn't think to call ahead of time to see if there would be an open lane in the afternoon on a Saturday. Turns out that time is pretty popular for birthdays.
Whooda thought right?? :)
We were able to get the last lane open but unfortunately it was without bummers.
But we made do and had a great time!

{Isaiah said this was his artistic shot}

Isaiah and I took turns walking her and her 6lb ball up to the lane to show her what to do



Then, being a true Torres {slash Dries girl}, she wanted to do it herself

She had a hard time with the whole "wait your turn" thing but the ball coming up the shoot helped pass the time

One round was all she was able to make it through but I have to say bowling was a full success!


ps.... 8 days until vacation!!!!
or 1440 minutes....
or 86,400 seconds....
Just in case you were wondering :)

Yep.... that's right....

SNOW!!!

We had our first light layer on Tuesday.
{side note.... Kaylee officially had a neighbor girl come knock on the door and ask if she could come play... my little girl is REALLY growing up... tear}

So I bundled her up and off she went.
{of course I was standing on the porch watching her every move and taking a zillion pictures}


Wednesday we woke up to this.....

This is Isaiah's car when he was attempting to try and got to work. After "warming" up the car and walking back outside he decided to just be safe and stay home :)

So we all bundled up and played in the fresh powder



Isaiah taught Kaylee how to make snow angels
And then she covered herself in it
In some parts of our yard she would jump in on her knees and be covered up to her waist

We decide to go for a walk down the street for some lunch at one of my FAVORITE places....
All in all we had a great two days in PNW.....
