We had a great time at Lake Powell; it was Harris and Goldie’s first time! They came last year with us but they were fit snugly in my belly and made it pretty miserable for their mama 😉 I basically just slept a lot and sat a lot, very uncomfortably, the whole time. This year was a lot more fun! I was hesitant because I knew there wouldn’t be a lot of space to sleep on the houseboat, but we made it work. I put their pack n’ plays right next to each other in our little cubby room and I laid at the bottom of the bed with the small space left and my legs couldn’t stretch all the way out. Ha! I”m glad to be home in my own bed but I’m glad we were able to have fun bonding time with family.
As we were driving down, Tyler said, “Okay, I can’t hold it in any longer. I have a surprise for you and the twins.” He got us a GIANT rubber ducky from Costco to float on because he knows how much the twins love their little rubber duckies at home in the bath! It made me so happy.
If you notice a scratch on Harris’ face in some of these photos, it’s because my niece’s friend was holding him and lifted him too high and he hit his head on the low ceiling fan!! Oh my goodness. I felt horrible. Luckily it missed his eye!
While the twins were napping, Tyler’s mom listened for them on the baby monitor so we were able to go out and go surfing on the boat. I hadn’t gone for 2 years so it was really fun to get out again! I love it because when you fall, it doesn’t hurt and it’s low impact. I can’t say the same for skiing or wakeboarding.
You better believe I took my WM Nutrition with me! Like I’ve said before, I love the blueberry protein because it’s so easy to take anywhere with the individual packets that it comes in. I liked sipping on the Advantraslim during the day because it curbs cravings and it’s SO EASY to eat a lot while you’re on vacation and sitting around the houseboat. It helped a lot!

Your family is seriously one of the sweetest things I’ve ever seen!!! *Crying emoji* I feel like in 10 years I’m going to see Goldie or Harris and say “HEY!” like we’re old friends but they will just give me a blank stare and start inching backwards. Hahaha. Thanks for sharing, your life is serious #goals status. Xoxo!

Hi! The striped bathing suit you have linked.. looks different on amazon. Do you have a picture of the one you got on amazon?
Jenica Parcell says
Sorry about that; I forgot I hadn’t linked it! I posted it on my Instagram a couple months ago. I’m holding my little boy. I love that suit!
