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!!

Oh it is starting to actually feel like SUMMER!!

And what would summer be without a big kid bike!!!

We took Kaylee to the store at the beginning of June to pick out her very first big girl bike. Of course she chose the pink one right away and the helmet with all of her princesses on it. She is in love!! It feels like every 5 minutes she is asking if she can go outside to ride her bike. When I say "not right now" she asks if she can go in the garage and "park it again."
I love her inventiveness....

We have gone on a bike ride almost ever day since. We even brought her cousin Emmalina along for a ride one night.
She is fearless too. In Kaylee terms she like to go "faster faster!" That is one speed to her. She will start riding and then ask if she can go "faster" or "faster faster." Usually I say "faster faster" so I can get a good jog in while she is riding.

We are still learning how to use the brake though so I am within reach at all times.
Can you believe she is a big girl already!
It really does go by so fast....

Yep....

that's right....

Kaylee is using the potty in pubic now and blowing kisses at the camera!!!

(and yep.... I am the mom who takes the humiliating, blackmailing, kinda pictures on her cell phone in public restrooms so I can document my little girl growing up...yep that's me!)

About three or four days ago she woke up and decide (ON HER OWN) she didn't want to wear her diapers anymore...she wanted to wear her "big girl panties."
This then led to me freaking out because I knew we had an entire weekend planned of shopping and running around and I was not in any hurry to have accidents all day in public. But I trusted my littler girl knew what she was doing and lo and behold she is a little
POTTY ROCKSTAR!!

So far she has had only two accidents that I know of... her first was at a friends house while I was working and the second was the minute we got home from church on Sunday. Other than that is has been really good about telling us she has to go potty. When we are at home we are reminding her but usually she is telling us or just going herself.

She is LOVING going to the bathroom in public too!
She isn't afraid to jump right on the pot!
She loves watching it flush and she is almost a little bit too obsessed with washing her hands.

We still haven't mastered #2 yet. She is waiting until nap time or bed time (when the nighttime underwear...or pullups...go on) but we are just at the beginning of this whole thing so I'm not to worried. I would rather her go in her pullup than hold it in until it is painful. Baby steps!

I do have to say....it will be nice for a few months to be off of diaper duty until we jump back into it head first at the end of the year!

Right now I am just so proud of my little girl!!

Another week down. It feels like every week is getting crazier and crazier.
New things happening in the Torres household.
Bobbi is back in the hospital so please keep her in your prayers. We are hoping she will be coming home soon.

HAPPY EASTER!
She is really getting the hang of searching for the eggs.

Kaylee goes to the dentist for her 6 month cleaning. She was sitting on my lab so this is the best shot I could get to document her adventure.

{115/365}
Driving to school I saw this mini Cooper with the license plate that said "HALF OFF"
LOVE IT!

A sunny day for Parker's 1st birthday!
Kaylee had a blast eating her delicious cupcake outside in the warm spring weather.

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.

{103/365}
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!
