I got Elena's newborn pictures taken when she was 2 weeks old and I am SO happy I did!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've never had newborns taken ( #momfail ) and I promised myself with this baby I would just do it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank goodness my mom had just left from staying with us for almost two weeks to help because my house was still put together for it to happen! haha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will forever treasure all of these and I love how beautifully she captured our sweet baby girl and her nursery!</div>

If you are in the Houston area, <a href="http://raetayphotography.com/" target="_blank">Rachel Taylor</a> is AMAZING!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
She was SO patient with a wild two year old and a needy baby! I took nursing breaks and it was so comfortable to be in our own home so the kids could play with toys in between photos - WIN!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Love our sweet daughter and the boys are obsessed ( maybe a little too much ) with their new sister!</div>

It was the week of June 11th. I was 38 weeks pregnant, nesting like no ones business and feeling large and in charge ;)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Ryan had golf camp near my in-laws house that week so my sweet mother in law had taken my boys for a few days to stay at her house and to have "Mimi camp".<br />
So basically the kids were in heaven with Ryan's golf camp in the morning and crafts and all things BOY in the afternoon with her! ( she's SO good with them! )</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The timing of it was perfect to have a few days with just Aaron ( like a really belated babymoon at 38 weeks pregnant haha! ) and time for me to get everything ready - baby wise.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
I forgot what it felt like to run errands with no kids. I felt like superwoman getting everything done every day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
My parents and youngest sister were set to fly into Houston, Thursday night June 14th.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I was set to be induced on Sunday ( Father's day ) June 17th ( a week BEFORE my due date ) if she hadn't come by then. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Why INDUCED?? </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
#1. I had come a couple weeks early with both my boys and they were both 8 pound babies so she just agreed to induce me a week early ha! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
#2. so my parents could kind of plan when to fly to Houston ( a 3 hour plane ride away makes things harder to plan around! ) </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
#3. I have ended up going on pitocin each time I delivered so she knew my body reacted ok to it etc. plus I was already dilated etc! I really LOVE my doctor - so anyways! Moving on!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
On Wednesday June 13th I went in for a 9 am- 38 week doctor check up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I was dilated to a 3 and felt good!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
Being that I was "kidless" I decided to go get my nails done and went to lunch with a friend and then went to go walk the mall. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
( because unless you go on a walk at 6:30 am outside - it's TOO hot to walk outside in the middle of the day! )</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
My mom was constantly calling me all day checking in to see if I still felt ok.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
With my past pregnancies if I get "checked" at my appointments and then go walking it usually makes things start to happen IF my body is ready to go into labor..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
While I was walking the mall by myself I noticed I was starting to have contractions about 10 minutes apart. They were painless and decently consistent but then I would go 15 minutes without one and think "it's just in my head" they are probably just little false braxton hicks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
By 2 pm they were down to like 8-9 minutes apart and I called my mom for the millionth time that day telling her they were starting to be more consistent but it was probably nothing and that they didn't hurt at all...... yet!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Although she knows me and knew by that phone call that something could be happening so within 30 minutes of talking to her my dad had booked them on the next flight out of Utah.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
They were set to leave at 8 pm and get in at midnight that night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I called my mother in law and had Aaron go pick up the kids a day early just in case I went into labor in the middle of the night because my sister would be here with them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I was up most of the night not being able to sleep and addicted to my contraction app haha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
They were 6-7 minutes apart and feeling a lot more "TIGHT".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I woke my mom up at 6:15 am ( my poor mom got maybe 4 hours of sleep with flying in at midnight ) and we went out to go walking. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I'm telling you - the secret to going into labor is to walk your baby out! haha! It's worked everytime! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We were only about 2 miles into our walk and BOOOM I felt like I peed my pants.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
OOPS!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
My dad was running on the path and looping us ( speedy Gonzales ) and asked how I was feeling ( by this point I was border line waddling like a penguin haha! )</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
And I yelled out "I think my water broke"!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It wasn't a lot of water though! My water broke before I had Ryan and was A LOT more water, so I was still in denial that I was actually in full on labor haha! I mostly just didn't want to end up at the hospital and be sent home - so I HAD to be sure!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I got home and was going to explain to Aaron that MAYBE it wasn't my water, and maybe it's in my head and Aaron was like "NOPE, BABE WE ARE GOING TO THE HOSPITAL!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Sure enough as I was showering and getting set to leave contractions were coming harder and harder and actually "hurting"!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Last bump picture outside the hospital with my cute parents! ^^ SO happy they were here for the whole thing!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I got to the hospital and checked in and was dilated to a 5.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
The nurse looked at me and said Baby girl was COMING!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I can't even describe that moment to you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Call me crazy but I LOVE going into labor! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I love the adrenaline of it all it and seeing my sweet husband holding my hand while I get hooked up to IV's and pumping me up to push a baby out! AHH i love it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Like if we are working out together and he's getting all fired up to finish those final reps! ha! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
He's the #1 best cheerleader ever. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
( and then of course we get all tear-y eyed looking at each other thinking "yes, our family is growing and we are going to love this sweet baby with every piece of our hearts" ) -- The whole thing is just an emotional high! BEST feeling ever.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
SOOO This labor was a little different... a few scary moments where I passed out a few times after getting the epidural and they think the cause of it was dehydration? I just remember kind of blacking out and then waking up to being on oxygen and to every nurse on the floor and the doctor in my room telling me to wake back up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Aaron said it was the most stressful and awful moment of his life haha! Poor thing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I was just SO grateful the baby's heartbeat didn't change when my blood pressure kept bottoming out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
They turned off the epidural for a while until I was stable and then were able to eventually turn it back on. Thank goodness my parents were able to change their flight and Aaron and my dad were able to give me a priesthood blessing that I'm convinced got my body through the rest of labor and brought a healthy beautiful baby girl here safely! ( I get tear-y eyed just thinking of it )</div>

Why Elena?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I am one who loves a story behind a name although my boys first names have no meaning other than the fact that I liked the name haha! so #FAIL. I guess i just like to hear other people's stories.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I was in high school I LOVED the movie Mask of Zorro. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
( well I still do, one of the greatest of all time! )</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the movie Catherine Zeta-Jones's name is Elena and I just thought she was the prettiest thing ever.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wrote in my high school journal that I'm going to name my first daughter Elena Marie. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
( Marie is my middle name after my sweet grandma )</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I met Aaron and told him about my name and he fell in love with it and even though we threw out other names Elena trumped all on his list.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Plus she's 1/4 Spanish and he says it fits her latina blood perfectly! ;)</div>

Never left my side ^^ BEST Daddy ever. We found out on night two that we both fit in the hospital bed so we took lots of naps just like this ^^ It was so sweet to have one on one time with our little girl while our amazing parents took care of kids and everything else.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Aaron and I joked that even the bathroom is connected to the hospital bedroom so he really was never out of sight the whole 48 hours at the hospital and it was the best.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't tell you how excited we are for this sweet baby to join our family!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These past few months have been a whirlwind so I'll quickly recap.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We found out in October we were pregnant with baby #3!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a really sweet and tender experience for Aaron and I and I won't ever forget that night we saw two solid lines pop up on that little test.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a big believer that it's not on YOUR time it's definitely God's timing when these little babies decide to come and it was so clear to us that this baby is meant to come to our family at this exact time, and we just feel so grateful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nausea hit at about 7 weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have ( obviously ) had a few other pregnancies in the past and this one definitely trumped those for how I felt.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I consider myself a decently tough ( very emotional haha! ) but decently tough person when it comes to my body in life situations and this first trimester threw me for a loop!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unlike my other pregnancies I woke up and went through my day with nothing sounding good to eat but maybe a slice of cake??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If anyone knows me personally they know that is SO unlike me! haha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All my favorite foods ( salmon, avocados, chicken, cereal, mexican food, certain fruits, to name a few.. ) didn't sound appetizing AT ALL and I didn't crave much but if I did, I was craving things I don't normally love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like one day I couldn't eat anything but bacon? I don't know if I have ever cooked bacon for myself at 2 in the afternoon in my life haha! It was a Saturday afternoon and my husband came downstairs from putting Luke down for a nap to me cooking bacon. He had to take a video of me making and eating my full plate of bacon because it was so unlike me haha! He even sent the video to my family and his parents and everyone was dying. ( he thinks all my pregnancy cravings have been awesome by the way! haha! )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This pregnancy has also made me EXTRA emotional.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know I said I'm an emotional person to begin with - in general, I feel for others, I can easily cry when I see people hurting or while watching any "this is Us" episode ha, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But this pregnancy I've had really STRONG emotions. Stronger than my usual emotions so I'm grateful for my incredible husband who listens to everything on my mind at any point in the day. He's the best ever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Luke is my little best buddy right now. ^^</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ryan goes to preschool from 9 am - 2 pm, Monday - Thursday ( getting him ready for all day Kindergarten next year - SO CRAZY that he is almost in Kindergarten! )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so it's just me and Lukey.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He loves going to the doctor with me and his favorite part is hearing the heartbeat! He LIGHTS up when he hears it and it's the cutest thing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we found out I was pregnant, we told the boys right off.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From the day we told them we were having another baby, Ryan has prayed for his "baby sister."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not sure if he was just wanting a girl, ( and not another "Lukey" stealing his toys haha! ) or if he actually thought it was a baby girl? I think it was a little of both ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Deep down I always thought I was having a little "GIRL". Mostly because of the drastic change I felt in all aspects of this pregnancy as compared to my others. However if you are a "BOY MOM" or even a "GIRL MOM" I'm sure you understand that it's hard to imagine having the other gender. All I knew is finding out "It's a BOY"! So I had a hard time even imagining what finding out you were having a GIRL would feel like. ( if that makes any sense!? )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Aaron and I decided to find out the gender through the blood test they give.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was close enough to Christmas that we decided it would be the perfect time to tell our families and kids with a big reveal! We debated finding out with them on Christmas Day but I honestly couldn't stand the fact that my results were in and they HAD the gender of my baby in their hands! I couldn't wait any longer!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The results were in and it was most definitely a baby GIRL!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll forever remember the "IT'S A GIRL!" phone call Aaron and I had with them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was emotional for both of us and we couldn't believe it! We were SO excited.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to tell the world RIGHT THEN and it was SO hard to keep a little secret until Christmas day to surprise everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I signed her up for a bow subscription the second we found out - did some retail shopping to get my excitement out! ( man, it's a good thing we didn't have her while in Law School! haha! )</div>

We were staying at my in laws this year for Christmas and the big anticipated box was the last gift my boys opened on Christmas Day. ^^</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their reactions were priceless!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ryan kept saying "I told you it was a girl mommy!! I knew it!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These two are going to be the best most protective big brothers and I couldn't be more excited for them to love on her every day.<br />
( P.S. My mom and mother-in-law freaked out! Everyone is so excited! My mother-in-law is getting the little girl she always dreamed of (( Aaron's an only child so I can't wait for them to experience a little girl!! )) and after 4 grandsons my mom will be getting her first granddaughter!! - SO fun! )<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
A few weeks after Aaron and I started dating ( 8 years ago ) I told him boldly "you are going to be the BEST girl dad". He didn't know whether to take that as a compliment or what to think. haha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's the kindest, most gentle, patient, loving, and wonderful person. In so many ways he reminds me SO much of my dad and I have the closest relationship with my dad so this baby is the luckiest little girl in the world to score him in the dad department.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aaron and I have always dreamed of having a little girl so this is a dream come true all the way around.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Fast forward to right now - 22 weeks. ^^ Feeling 150 times better and just SO happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got to see her together as a family ( my parents were even in town - the best! ) and we saw her last week on the big screen for her anatomy scan and it was perfect! She was sleeping with her little hands covering her face ^^ and we even watched her YAWN! I was dying inside!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bring on the PINK, dance recitals and American Girl Dolls!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Little girl! We are so obsessed with you already. JUNE cannot come fast enough.</div>

I put up Christmas decor up EXTRA early this year.<br />
Partly because we were leaving town and not getting home until after Thanksgiving and partly for selfish reasons of wanting to make the "magic" last as LONG as possible for my two babes!<br />
They are in heaven with the excitement of Christmas already and at the PERFECT ages!<br />
<br />
There is something about Christmas tree lights at night time that make me so happy!<br />
It makes bedtime stories that much more magical and I love sitting by the tree with Aaron after the kids go down for bed and recapping our full day to each other! Its my favorite.<br />
<br />

I'm obsessed with WHITE Christmas everything.<br />
I think it reminds me of Utah and always growing up with Snow on Christmas!?<br />
I've been in Houston almost 7 years and it's still SO foreign to me that it's not freezing cold outside haha!<br />

We pulled off the biggest surprise of a century and Aaron and I flew into Utah to surprise my mom for her 50th birthday! Thanks to my in-laws for watching our kiddos for the weekend!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't remember the last time 6 hours on a plane felt so relaxing! HA!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My mom is the queen of surprising! ^^ Growing up I would NEVER know what I was getting for birthday's, Christmas, etc! She LOVES to surprise! So the fact that for once in her life we got to actually surprise HER was pretty amazing. Plus she is always throwing everyone else a party so it's about time she was the woman of the hour!</div>

My dad had it planned to the very detail! Long story short but he and my mom flew in from Chicago Friday afternoon and had planned to go to a dinner reservation Friday night in Salt Lake City before heading home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All of my siblings showed up at their dinner reservation before they got there and we're all sitting at the table waiting for them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you follow me on INSTA, you saw the video of my mom's face when she saw us! - Pretty sure we all cried! BEST ever.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I could just kiss that little face to death ^^ and most days I don't know if I'm going to make it after the 50 mommy heart-attacks he's given me that day! I keep telling Aaron I'm going to start growing grey hair because of Luke! haha!</div>

It's so funny because he is a mini Ry, but left handed ( which fits Luke perfectly ) and the complete opposite personality! HA!</div>

Luke is obsessed with Baseball.<br />
We are at the ball fields at least 3 nights a week as of lately and Luke will bring his little tee and ball and hit along side the field while we watch Ry play and Aaron coach.<br />
He was in ball heaven when he saw his b-day set up!<br />

Speaking of baseball, GOOOO Astros! ^^<br />
My husband just about cried last night when they advanced to the World Series!<br />
He grew up a HUGE Astros fan going to games his whole life ^^ SO he was Pretty proud to take our boys and make them huge fans too. ;)<br />

Happy birthday to my sweet, handsome, smart and talented 5 YEAR OLD!<br />
Glad I get one more year to keep him "little" before kindergarten! I still can't believe we have a 5 year old!<br />
<br />
It was not a surprise when Ryan chose yet again another shark birthday..<br />
If you've read my blog for a few years you will remember his <a href="http://www.mrandmrspowell.com/2015/08/a-shark-birthday-bash.html" target="_blank">3 year old</a>, <a href="http://www.mrandmrspowell.com/2016/10/ryan-turns-four-shark-birthday.html" target="_blank">4 year old</a>, and now 5 year old shark b-day parties! Not sure if there is a bigger shark lover out there!<br />
( Big thanks to my mother - in - law for all her help with this cute party! )<br />
<br />
This years cake we made easy! ^^ I ordered the toppers of <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/502955732/shark-cake-topper-kit-no-swimming-diy?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_d-weddings-decorations-cake_toppers&utm_custom1=67639125-35ac-4a88-bf95-6672f3be7825&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIg6Hj6ueE1wIVQpJ-Ch3UMg5JEAQYAyABEgJYGPD_BwE" target="_blank">ETSY</a> and I loved that you can personalize it to any number! Make a white cake and WAALLA!<br />

These blow up sharks were again a hit! ^^ Amazon for the win!<br />
Each kid took one home as part of their party favors, not sure if the parent appreciated a big blow up shark coming home with them or not haha!<br />

HELLO FALL!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ive just accepted the fact that "FALL" has a completely different meaning in Houston ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Still 90 degrees outside but I insist on making it feel like fall by making soup and putting out some pumpkins! I love a good healthy soup and this is an all time favorite of ours! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found the original recipe is found <a href="http://www.closetcooking.com/2014/01/quinoa-white-chicken-chili.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> but I added what I use here as side notes ;)<br />
<br /></div>
<ul class="ingredients" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<li itemprop="ingredients" style="padding-left: 24px; text-indent: -16px;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">1 tablespoon oil ( I use olive oil )</span></li>

Our second port of call was in Juneau! Juneau wasn't near as cute and quaint as <a href="http://www.mrandmrspowell.com/2017/09/disney-alaskan-cruise-part-one.html" target="_blank">Skagway</a>, ;) although we did find the Alaska State Capitol ^^ and some pretty crazy high up little homes we hiked to.<br />
( Random thought - if you have little kids, I loved an umbrella stroller for this trip! ^^<br />
There isn't a ton of walking so you don't need a crazy good stroller and it hardly takes up any room in your state room ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I'll be honest and say we had ONE BUMMER for this trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In Juneau, we were supposed to have an excursion that helicopter'd you to a glacier and then you went dog sledding in the snow! It was cancelled because of weather :( we were totally ready to go and it was cancelled about an hour before it was supposed to leave! The weather is pretty crazy and literally rained every day we were there!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's also REALLY foggy ( we never saw the sun) so apparently they actually have to cancel helicopter tours quite often because of visibility -- which is completely understandable! ( so if you have plans to go to Alaska make sure you have a plan B for tours that are cancelled! :) </div>

I loved this cute city! Given it was the "Salmon Capital of the World", why not go Salmon fishing!?</div>

This was my very first time fishing and probably my favorite excursion of the trip!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think I went fishing once as a kid with some friends - not sure if I ever even held the fishing pole? haha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyways I screamed a little bit and the video of me reeling in my first fish is hilarious! Aaron filmed it and he will pull it up randomly on his phone just to watch it and laugh!</div>

We were split up onto two boats. So this is our little crew with the fish we caught! ^^ all the salmon were sent back to my parents house in Utah and I'm wishing I could be there for a Sunday dinner to try fresh Alaskan Salmon!</div>

Love this sweet fam of mine! ^^<br />
Gosh, we loved this beautiful place!! And I secretly think we all loved being cold for a week haha! ;) I've only ever been somewhere warm on a cruise so this was something totally different and SO fun!<br />
Instead of going for the unlimited ice cream every day, we went for the unlimited hot chocolate!<br />
There is something magical about being in the beautiful mountains and bundling up with the ones you love!<br />
The whole thing was incredible and I would seriously recommend this trip to ANYONE!<br />
<br />
TIP: When going on an Alaskan cruise, PACK LAYERS and bring rain boots! Dress like an onion. You wont regret having too many layers. If I could do it over, I would buy us all some winter gloves and bring all my warmest winter sweaters / socks / hats! Luke had a raincoat as his warmest coat -- #momfail! We made due with lots of blankets and luckily there is so much to do inside the boat for the kiddos. The weather said it was in the high 40's to low 50's but with the rain and wind it felt more like low 40's/30's haha! Anyways I would be happy to answer any more specific questions about what to pack so please email me! XO</div>

HELLO ALASKA.<br />
Disney STYLE.<br />
This was a much anticipated trip and it was a dream come true to be able to see Alaska for the first time with my whole family! ( Just Missing my cute sister serving her church mission in Peru ! )<br />
My dad has always traveled a lot for his job so it's rare to find a place even he has never been to!<br />
It was a FIRST for all of us!<br />
<br />

I've gotten so many questions about this trip and I will do my best to tell you what we saw and did in a "PART 1" and "PART 2" post! We are obviously far from pros after only one week of being there ;) haha! BUT I would 1,000 percent recommend it to anyone! Seriously one of my most favorite vacations to date!<br />

Alaska, we are huge fans. ^^<br />
It is one of the most beautiful places with the most lush green mountains and greenest blue ocean water - All the heart eye emojis here!<br />

Ryan could not understand why it was freezing every time you walked outside on the ship haha!<br />
The weather was a shock to the system for my Texas boys!<br />
It was definitely a NICE change from the 100 degrees we had been experiencing in Houston! ;)<br />
<br />
Needless to say we didn't bring warm enough clothes! ^^ #fail -- I will be doing a post later on with what to pack - so stay tuned!<br />

This is honestly the scenery outside the boat for 90 percent of the trip! ^^ It's beyond beautiful! Hard to even describe so I will just let most of the pictures do the talking. We saw sea lions, whales, bald eagles, and "jumping fish" as Ryan would say, all from our boat - SO SO COOL!<br />

To start the trip we had a couple "days at sea" - this particular day at sea we went in through a Fjord to an iceberg called Tracey's Arm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We sat outside for about 4 hours just watching the scenery ( because it's AMAZING! ) and drank multiple cups of hot chocolate to keep us warm ;)</div>

Ryan just one of the big kids! ^^ The wonderful thing about a Disney cruise is that you can take your babies to the kids club to nap. It was too cold to have Luke and my little nephew sitting outside so we took them to the kids club on the boat and had them nap :) Which brings me to what I want to talk about next -- THE BOAT~<br />

The boat is SO fun! I look forward to "at sea days"!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My family got up and worked out and ran on this track almost every morning ^^ I love that we can all run together! My fav! It was cold but had an incredibly dreamy scenery so a 5 - 6 mile run - or 19 times around the boat didn't feel so awful ;) HA!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had to run lots so we could order every dessert on the menu each night to try... right!?</div>

There are 3 dinner restaurants on the ship and this is my favorite one ^^<br />
<br />
The drawings on the walls dance and have a little "show" throughout your dinner - kid heaven.<br />
You get to draw a cartoon one night and SOMEHOW it comes to life on the screen up above your table! ( no idea how they do it! )<br />

ANNNDD Disney characters - EVERYWHERE! ^^ This is as close as Luke would get.<br />
He's not scared of many things - but apparently he's a little scared of people in costumes ;)<br />
I can't imagine having a baby girl with all the princesses walking around the boat - HEAVEN! Ry and Luke could care less about the princesses haha! But my girly - disney princess loving self was dying inside!<br />
<br />
Pools were heated and even the slide was working! It was so funny, the worker lifeguarding the slide was in a parka, hat and gloves haha! My family did hot tub once or twice and said it felt so good!<br />

These suits keep you so warm- ^^ in case you were wondering ;)<br />
The excursion gives you goggles, gloves and hats in case you didn't bring them.\<br />
<br />
<br />
First port in Skagway was a success.<br />
Juneau and Ketchikan coming soon! This is already the longest post ever ;)<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks to a dear cousin of mine for posting her recipe, I found my favorite mid day snack lately!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok actually, let me be honest and say that I sneak this "cookie dough" for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert!<br />I could eat this anytime during the day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My kids and husband love it! My poor kids are convinced THIS is real cookie dough - Ha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To me, it's seriously just as good as the real thing! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just wayyy healthier version ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It takes about 3 minutes to throw together and I can't get enough!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you love peanut butter - you will LOVE these!</div>

RECIPE:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 c oats</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 scoop protein powder ( I do vanilla but chocolate works too! )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 c peanut butter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/3 c Honey ( I just add honey as needed and don't always do the whole 1/3 cup )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Handful of chocolate chips</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mix all together and waaalaa! Refrigerate the extra - it firms up when it's cold!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
** We get our protein from Costco in bulk - it's my favorite and the best tasting protein powder I've found!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It looks slightly like I got electrocuted. ^^ This is after sleeping on it too ( so this is definitely not as crazy as it can get ;) )<br />
<br />
We moved to Houston 6 years ago and every day I have to tame the wildness. HA!<br />
This picture is honestly comical ^^ I laugh every time I look at it.<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=8811672593399602496" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>THICK. CRAZY. FRIZZ. WAVE. POOFNESS.<br />
( It's obviously worse in the summers with the really high humidity. )<br />
<br />
On a normal day, I wash my hair, blow dry it with a round brush, straighten it and walk outside only to have it frizz up and then have to straighten it a few more times in the day to keep it down.<br />
Every time I open the front door and my hair gets wind of the Sauna outside - BOOM - crazy again HA!<br />
I hardly curl my hair in Houston because in order to curl it I have to straighten it and THEN curl it.<br />
<br />
Anyways, you get the picture ;) Hair is a PROCESS over here.<br />
<br />
My good friend first introduced me to the idea of a Brazilian Blowout and showed me pictures of her mother-in-law having it done.<br />
I was pretty shocked at the "before and after" pictures of her MIL but honestly in the back of my head thought "there is no way I could ever get that texture of ( I call it "white girl hair" ) haha! But the "Silky hair look".<br />
My hair is really coarse and trust me the term Silky has never been on the radar for my hair's vocab.<br />
<br />
Anyways with summer fast approaching I finally convinced myself to just do it and found a salon here in The Woodlands, TX.<br />
After having it done, I'm still in unbelief.<br />
For once in my life I have the "white girl silk hair" HA!<br />
Seriously it's SO soft.<br />
<br />

They first wash your hair. Then they go layer by layer putting in their Professional smoothing treatment to each strand of hair. ( FYI: The smell is a little strong so I would be careful doing it if you are pregnant! ) They then blow dry your hair and split it into tiny sections to straighten your hair with the hottest flat iron ever. I kept asking her if my hair was going to fry off! haha! They go over each strand of hair several times! I was assured by her several times it wouldn't fry off! The treatment is made to stand the heat - it's all part of the process! SO after the straightening process is finished --WAAAALA! Smooth, Silky, and wonderful!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
They recommend you not washing your hair or putting it up in a pony or behind your ears for about 48 hours. Just to not crease it and let the product do it's thing! Working out was interesting for 2 days but other than that it was easy!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
COST : So this is where it gets a little steep. <span style="text-align: center;">I have heard Salons vary on prices. I have also heard of a couple cases where it didn't really stay ( and it was cheaper ) So i would definitely rather have it done right and LAST. My Blowout</span><span style="text-align: center;"> was $350 and about $400 with tip.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
The price comes with a hair cut. ( I have a lady in Utah that has cut my hair since I was 12 and I just got it cut while I was there for my brothers wedding ( like 6 inches!!! ) so I didn't need the haircut but it would have been nice to have that in your deal! )</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
It also came with one big bottle of Brazilian Blowout conditioner and one big bottle of Brazilian Blowout shampoo. The bottom of each bottle has the price sticker ( 39.00 dollars for each one ) - so it's good they include that!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The blowout lasts 4-6 months. So keep that in mind when you are considering the price.</div>

MY GOSH. So I have only washed my hair once since getting it done because of the 48 hour waiting process. BUT, i can tell you that I came out of the shower, and it literally took 8 minutes to blow dry my hair and it looked exactly like THIS ^^ No need for a straightener, no frizz, NOTHING. I seriously almost cried HA! All the years of spending hours blowdrying and having to stop every 10 minutes to take a break. My hair life has been changed! So much less time in the bathroom! I think that's what I'm most excited about!</span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;">Price is a little high, but TRUST ME - SO WORTH IT. I would never spend that kind of money on something that wasn't worth it! </span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Yesterday it was the yuckiest mucky day in Houston - Poured on me as I was coming out of the grocery store and it dried completely straight, frizz free! AMAZING. I'm actually excited to go to the pool this summer?!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
(( Just FYI, YES you can totally still curl it! I can't wait to curl it with the texture! ) </div>

<br />
So moral of the story, I LOVE it, I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.<br />
There are treatments that are less intense that are cheaper and start around 150.<br />
With my texture and wave of hair, I needed the high roller treatment haha!<br />
But even for those who have more straight hair but want to smooth it and take out the frizz - DO IT! So worth it!<br />

My little brother is getting MARRIED!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I could NOT be more happy for him. I just adore her and I'm so excited for her to officially be part of our fam!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Weddings are my favorite and hers will be a legit fairytale wedding. From the sneak peeks I have seen --- AAAAMMMAZZING! AHH I can't wait!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I flew to Utah this past weekend to help bring to life the most beautiful bridal shower! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I brought Luke with me because HEY, he's still free on planes and we are taking full advantage! However, he has never sat still in his entire life. So... talk about a plane ride. 3 hours could not have come soon enough! We got stuck at the window seat both ways - OHHH bless that middle seater who had Lukey stepping all over them trying to turn "off and on" the light up above us THE WHOLE AIRPLANE RIDE. They make those little buttons overhead WAYY too tempting. Flight attendant call button was pushed one too many times..<br />
<br />
Needless to say, we made it and the weekend went WAYY too fast!<br />

The wedding is in 11 days and I'm flying back by myself to Utah with both kiddos this Sunday. ( insert slightly stressed out face -- Ryan clearly was the best traveler as a babe and Luke is from another planet! )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Luke better start practicing to sit still or it's going to be a rough month of plane rides HA! ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Regardless, so much happiness for these upcoming weeks!</div>

HI!!! After a long BREAK -- I charged my camera for the first time in MONTHS the other day and it made me so sad!<br />
Take TOO many pictures! Sometimes life gets busy and pictures get put on the back burner but that's what makes the memories last!<br />
<br />
This is going WAYY back so I can remember these things down the road!<br />

A few things to note:<br />
Ryan at 4 is learning to read at preschool ( in denial he is old enough for this! )<br />
and is still obsessed with all things sharks and dancing. I could watch his little moves all day.<br />
Currently learning the Whip and Nae Nae and it's hilarious!<br />
<br />
Luke is 17 months old - crazy as ever.<br />
He's my "no fear child" and Aaron and I worry daily about his low pain tolerance. haha!<br />
His newest trick is walking off the COUCH at full speed.<br />
He wears his little red boots almost daily and it's hilarious watching him roam around in those babies!<br />
<br />
Love these kiddos and their identical look but completely opposite personalities!<br />
<br />
We keep busy as ever with all things kids, Aaron's job, my job, church responsibilities and training for my FIRST FULL marathon this Saturday! Ready to be done with the 4:45 AM runs ;)<br />
But ahh Life is so good! I find myself each day wishing time would slow down! It all goes too fast!<br />
<br />
Thanks for being patient with my delayed posts and for all the sweet messages I have received about blog related stuff lately! Truly, you guys are the best!<br />
<br />
2017 is going to be a BIG year and we are so ready for it!</div>

So every year, I get us all dressed up looking "fallish" and head to the pumpkin patch.</div>

<br />
How can you not!?<br />
My wonderful husband goes right along with it ;)<br />
I feel like my "inner-Utah self" has to be buying a pumpkin and wearing fall clothes!<br />
Seeing people run around in shorts at a pumpkin patch just doesn't sit well with me! HA!<br />
The nights are luckily cooling down slightly.. but days are still over 90 degrees here in Houston!<br />
Needless to say, we waited until the sun went down and the weather was cool enough, dressed for fall for about an hour ;) and the boys were in heaven!<br />
<br />

<br />
I say this every year but holidays with kids... THE BEST.<br />
I will be honest and say that Aaron and I weren't the biggest Halloween lovers..<br />
until we had kids.<br />
Now because of them, the excitement of the season is totally getting to us!<br />
I am 99 percent sure Aaron was actually having fun while carving a shark pumpkin with Ry last night haha! ;)<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Luke walked around pointing to every pumpkin saying "ball!" while Ryan exclaimed multiple times,<br />
"Halloween is the best day ever!"<br />
Wait until Christmas buddy! Keeps getting better and better ;)<br />

Our little Lukey turned ONE!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Luke is the sweetest, BUSIEST babe and we can't imagine life without this little squirt! ^^</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He's up and down and all around and you can likely find him with a bruise on his head at all times :)<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because we obviously love all things ocean over here...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I figured why not do a whale birthday!? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here it is.. "Our little squirt's first birthday" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Navy and green is one of my favorite combos EVER so putting together this party just made me happy!<br />

If you have followed my blog for a little while now, you will remember <a href="http://www.mrandmrspowell.com/2015/08/a-shark-birthday-bash.html" target="_blank">Ryan's Shark Party</a> from last year...<br />
Low and behold this year came and I asked him what kind of party he wanted to have...<br />
It came as no surprise to Aaron and I when Ryan suggested Shark Party ROUND 2!<br />
SHOCKER!<br />
<br />

I obviously wanted to do it a little differently than last year just to change it up a little :)<br />
One of the new additions to this year's party were these blow ups! ^^ Each child took home their own blow up shark! ^^<br />

We got some professional family pictures done while in Hawaii, on the grounds and on the beach!<br />
<br />

And I'm so anxious to see how they came out! I have no updated family picture in our house with little Luke - So we are in desperate need :) These of course are just behind the scenes shots ^^<br />
( and Ryan up there just pleasing the crowd, as always. ^^ )<br />

We spent our last couple days in Maui at the beach and by the pools.<br />

So I have been approached to sell different products in the past.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have hesitated selling something that I wasn't truly passionate about.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, <a href="https://www.senegence.com/LippinandLovin" target="_blank">LipSense</a> came into the picture and it changed my life!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My mom has actually used <a href="https://www.senegence.com/LippinandLovin" target="_blank">Lipsense</a> for about 10 years now - CRAZY!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I use it every time I'm at her house ( she just had one color she loved, but had never tried other colors! ) and I occasionally told her in past years, "mom, this is a good gift idea for my birthday - I love lipstick!" HA obviously not knowing too much about it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It wasn't until I recently went to a party in my area and got hooked.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew I had to sell it because it was one product I truly BELIEVED in and I knew it WORKED!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf-FX3tzHsF3UlG4632izfl10av55_IRZfDfu373ZOvY9w4E2amLjNgBJgWX-er0QL0KGRUzlxdBJcmQhq449GRtLYkKxvjrWazKhhGyPQj5O70lXI3GPoqejp-WXQkv5drgDCLGveaCJs/s1600/IMG_4297.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="612" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf-FX3tzHsF3UlG4632izfl10av55_IRZfDfu373ZOvY9w4E2amLjNgBJgWX-er0QL0KGRUzlxdBJcmQhq449GRtLYkKxvjrWazKhhGyPQj5O70lXI3GPoqejp-WXQkv5drgDCLGveaCJs/s640/IMG_4297.jpg" width="740" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So my good friend Chelsea and I started a little side business ^^ called "Lippin & Lovin."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Combined we have 6 boys that need kisses on the daily ( 2 sons each and our husbands of course! ) and LipSense was the perfect solution! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aaron may love this stuff almost as much as I do HA but seriously. No more lipstick on the shirt, face or toothbrush!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Q1fbqbylWYoMQpX0ZoWJDaZdu-CzSmh2omZFrqQoKOnikKlYfuC2efGHQYEd5zNAZ4Ol7hoQ-8LJgz1Sv4m6ZbA_SKYR8-dsZI-qrScjVPztyruZFOTKs9OCgQ8CN2uhTEsHQs4npKty/s1600/IMG_4533.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="1121" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Q1fbqbylWYoMQpX0ZoWJDaZdu-CzSmh2omZFrqQoKOnikKlYfuC2efGHQYEd5zNAZ4Ol7hoQ-8LJgz1Sv4m6ZbA_SKYR8-dsZI-qrScjVPztyruZFOTKs9OCgQ8CN2uhTEsHQs4npKty/s640/IMG_4533.jpg" width="740" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.senegence.com/LippinandLovin" target="_blank">LipSense</a> is an all day lip color that lasts up to 18 hours!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's smudge proof, water proof, and kiss proof.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It comes in over 70 colors and options are endless with mixing and matching.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
( Take a picture of the color of lipstick you love to wear and I guarantee we can match it with a LipSense! )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Besides the fact that it stays on all day, it is also SO healthy for your lips!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a chemical grade alcohol contained in LipSense that is actually killing germs and bacteria ( from other lipsticks, chapsticks, etc. ) as you put it on your lips.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've always struggled with chapped lips until I started using this product... Guys, I'm a believer!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

We wanted to do some sort of little hike while we were in Maui.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We went to <a href="http://www.gohawaii.com/maui/regions-neighborhoods/central-maui/iao-valley-state-park/" target="_blank">Iao Valley</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It's a state park and the hike is SUPER short and tiny! Anyone could do it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We debated doing it twice just to get a harder work out ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But seriously -- the views are just breathtaking!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
If anything, go to see the views and scenery!</div>

Can I just tangent for a minute and say that this is one of my favorite ages ever ^^ Luke will be ONE in a couple weeks ( currently planning his first birthday party and it's killing me how fast this year has gone! ) and I'm holding onto every bit of this phase where they start to say little words, they are entertained by everything and anything, and they are just the sweetest little things!</div>

You start at the top of the pools and it takes you about 30 minutes to get down to the "bottom pools" going down slides and through lazy rivers!</div>

Luke couldn't get enough of the beach.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ryan was always a little unsure about the sand when he was Luke's age, but Luke on the other hand...</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we would be sitting on the beach and a random lady would tell me that my baby was eating handfuls of sand haha! ( this happened a few times! )</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kept thinking he would learn his lesson and decide he didn't want to eat more... But apparently he didn't mind the taste! haha!</div>

SNACKING.<br />
Snacking is one of my biggest weaknesses! Especially as a mom and being home a lot of the day -- every day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's so hard to resist the temptation of snacking all day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I crave sweet things, salty things and all the above.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Protein bars have become one of my very favorite "go-to" for snacks for a few reasons.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
#1. They fill me up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
#2. They are Protein packed and give me energy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
#3. Make it so easy for an "on the go" snack!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
#4. They are SO yummy.<br />
<br />

I have tried different brands of bars and seen which ones I definitely don't like and ones I like :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are my 3 favorite bars that I switch off between and always try and have on hand for when the snacking gets me hard!<br />

#1. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Yeah-Birthday-Cake-Count-25-44/dp/B0171F2HL6" target="_blank">These</a> birthday cake "Oh Yeah" bars are my very very favorite! ^^ ( 22 g of protein )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to give all credit to my good friend Chelsea for finding this certain brand and flavor of protein bar - it has changed my life!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=8811672593399602496" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a>I am obsessed with all things cake batter and sprinkles. ( That is my happy place! )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We tried a couple brands before finding THESE Oh yeah bars and I have never gone back!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I get them off Amazon <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Yeah-Birthday-Cake-Count-25-44/dp/B0171F2HL6" target="_blank">HERE</a> - the best deal to buy them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are the perfect "sweet snack satisfier".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have also ordered the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Yeah-Protein-Variety-Various-Flavors/dp/B01A9D5B2Y/ref=sr_1_2_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1473626206&sr=1-2&keywords=oh+yeah+protein+bars" target="_blank">combo pack of 12 flavors</a> and loved every flavor of these "Oh Yeah" bars!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can't go wrong!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have ever eaten Quest bars ( I do love quest bars - especially the cookies and cream flavor! ) they are SO similar BUT half the price!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Definitely the cheapest high packed protein bar you will find! The cookie dough is my favorite flavor ^^</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can buy them online <a href="http://www.costco.com/Kirkland-Signature%E2%84%A2-Protein-Bar-Chocolate-Brownie-%2526-Chocolate-Chip-Cookie-Dough-2--Pack-20-Count.product.100296106.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> or in stores at Costco.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
These aren't quite as high in protein ( 10 grams protein ) as the other two up top but I do love the taste of them!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Beware of SUGAR content when it comes to bars. I try and stay away from bars that are over 10 grams of sugar.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also want to clarify and say that I don't replace meals with these bars. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am a pretty strong believer that it's a lot better for your body to get it's source of protein from actual FOOD.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just because some of these bars have 20 grams+ of protein doesn't mean you get a free pass from eating actual protein packed healthy food.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the last thing I wanted to reiterate is that I'm not sponsored to say any of this,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this is truly all my own opinion :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Monday Friends!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
One of Aaron and I's favorite things to do in tropical places ( or anywhere, really ) is to go hiking.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our kiddos were troopers on these two hikes we did while we were in Oahu!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kids obviously limit certain hikes you CAN do but we made it all work!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Aaron backpacked Ryan ( the BEST backpack carrier ever! I will link it at the bottom! ) and I carried Luke in our awesome <a href="http://www.mrandmrspowell.com/2016/09/pineapple-dole-whip-withdrawals.html" target="_blank">Walmart carrier</a> ( not the most comfortable carrier ever but we made it - haha! )<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
We chose to hike Manoa Falls Trail and Diamond Head.<br />
<a href="http://www.best-of-oahu.com/manoa-falls.html" target="_blank">Manoa Falls Trail</a> is absolutely STUNNING - I would totally recommend it for a true Hawaiian experience!<br />
You literally hike through the rainforest and the greenery and views are absolutely breathtaking!<br />
<br />
The hike is only about 2 miles - round trip - but it's uphill a lot of the way to the waterfall so it takes quite a while to get up to the top!<br />
Ryan actually walked a majority of this hike and loved it! It gets pretty slippery and steep a few places but for the most part is pretty kid friendly!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6Ijkh5Ubssutwy5758xfCRyCNiXPt2zUst1YMIkp5NWMueZpU2tHghe5wI-1iSZze9onJgLfRTF4WKnMjP4E7F-oPMSmRbX0QhMubQE_x55_djSlTDyP8Shw3y7D3hcWtnph-0VAX89N_/s1600/IMG_4329.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="502" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6Ijkh5Ubssutwy5758xfCRyCNiXPt2zUst1YMIkp5NWMueZpU2tHghe5wI-1iSZze9onJgLfRTF4WKnMjP4E7F-oPMSmRbX0QhMubQE_x55_djSlTDyP8Shw3y7D3hcWtnph-0VAX89N_/s640/IMG_4329.jpg" width="740" /></a><br />
<br />
Unfortunately I have NO pictures of the waterfall - SAD, SAD DAY!<br />
We got completely poured on for most of the hike and I could not have pulled out my camera in the conditions we were in without it getting completely ruined! HA!<br />

<br />
Although, I did feel like Tarzan for a split second. ^^ If you look closely you can tell it's pouring rain!<br />
I would suggest to bring towels for the car ride home... It was a slightly cold car ride as we had no towels to dry off!<br />

We also hiked <a href="http://www.aloha-hawaii.com/oahu/diamond-head/" target="_blank">Diamond Head</a>. ^^<br />
Diamond head was super challenging and SO MANY STAIRS! ( especially with carrying the babes - so Aaron and I loved it for the challenge! )<br />
And of course, the view from the top is always worth seeing..<br />

We started out with breakfast at the hotel - it was buffet style so of course Ryan was in heaven.<br />
Any food a kid could ever want..<br />
Ryan's choice of food this particular morning were chocolate chip waffles, "tiger cereal" ( frosted flakes ) and a doughnut or two - really nutritious!! I kept stuffing him a banana in between bites! My poor kids - ha!<br />

We have had this Hawaii trip planned for quite a while so Ryan has been counting down the days until his birthday when he gets to "swim with fishies".<br />
We took him to <a href="http://hanaumabaystatepark.com/" target="_blank">Hanauma Bay</a> to snorkle! ^^<br />
