my favorite hot day treat!

When I was on my Disney College Program internship, I fell in love with this wonderful little secret in adventure land! Well it is not really a secret, but I was something new to me!! Dole Pineapple Floats!!  Pineapple soft serve, with pineapple juice and a pineapple spear!! So so so refreshing!! You could also get vanilla soft serve.  And I think when Shane and I went back for our Honeymoon and 1 year anniversary, you could get orange pineapple!! double yum!!!
We have tried recreating them at home, it is not the same, but it will do!!
With all these hot days, it got me to thinking that a pineapple float sounded marvelous right about now!!



Enjoy this beautiful weather we have been blessed with!!

Weekend

Hey all,

So we had a pretty low key weekend, but with a few new developments!!
First, Henry has finally broken one of this bottom front teeth that he has been working on for over a month!! Poor little guy has been a bit fussy, but really been a trooper!! I can't get a picture of it yet, but when I can, be sure that I will post it!!
Second, Henry is now sitting up on his own!! I really was surprised by this! Considering he has only rolled belly to back a few time, and he doesn't want to go the other 5 % to finish rolling back to belly, i thought we had a while to be waiting on this one!! After his bath on Saturday, we just tried it out again, and he was like, ok i can sit up all on my own now!! It is adorable and I love it!! However, he is not even 5 months yet, and growing way too fast!!

Now Owen is growing up just as quickly. As you noticed int he video he is asking "what" that is his version of "Why" however i prompted him to do this, rather than doing the whinny baby voice, i asked him to say "What" So there are not complaints with him asking "what" 100 times a day!!  Another awesome thing with Owen , he is officially diaper free!! Even at night!! He has been in big boy underwear since the end of december, but not at night. He had gone about 2 weeks straight without a wet diaper at night, so we just decided to give it a go with the big boy undies at night, and he is rockin in!! And he is only waking up 1 time, and it is around 4:30 am....sounds a little rough considering he is 2, but trust me, this is awesome!!! We are considering cutting out naps, and just doing like 30 mins of quiet time. He falls asleep faster and stays asleep longer when he doesn't have a nap...especially with this awesome weather!!Running around outside all day tires him out!!
And Owen has been such a great little helper to me!! i made him a Helper Chart. For everything he helps me with that day(laundry/dishes), or does by him self(brush teeth/hair) , he will get a sticker!!
I am not sure if there is going to be a reward for this, he just loves putting the stickers on!!

Owen and Henry took there first wagon ride together!! Owen loves the wagon Grandma and  Grandpa got for him last summer! I think Henry likes it too! Grandma took them for their first ride together!

It was a pretty great weekend!!
