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.....

So being sick really gets you behind on things. Blogging has been the last thing on my mind the last few days. Kaylee and I were out of commission for two days and today [wednesday] is the first day I feel "normal"

So while the kiddos are taking a nap I figured I'd get this post done before its time to post the next week.

Already at 50 pics!!! Yea!!

I took pictures at the event but this one from another guest was better
On Sunday evening we went to an amazing event for our friend who is fighting testicular cancer. He is only 27 and we diagnosed a few months ago. It was truly AMAZING to see how many people came to help support him and his family. The entire school cafeteria was overflowing and the donations were pouring in by the 100's. Truly heartwarming.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
We went to the doctor to get Kaylee checked out. Turns out she had a really bad sinus infection.

We spent the day in Portland as a family shopping. Here is our pictures from one of those photo booths.

Parker came to school with us this week. Kaylee felt like a big sis showing him all of the toys and stuff they do. Here she is showing him all of the outside toys.

We went over to our friends house with about 25 other kids for some Valentines cookie making and fun in the sun.
