The Busy Morning

Nothing like building forts in your underwear

Great camp!

Swim time with sweet Millie

Passed out with dinosaurs

Summer, Summer, Summer Time (sing it:)

Do they make them any cuter?

Summer has gotten off to a great start.  Sweet baby William is home and getting used to the world around him, we had an nice adult weekend in Nashville with the Sherrards (thanks Grams and Poppy!), and potty training is becoming bearable with much more successes than accidents.

My little William boys

Duncan and Poppy

All of the Mulloy boys had a summer haircut scheduled last week. Mimi was so sweet to help out while I was at a work function. After everyone was trimmed and looking spiffy, Patrick was holding Duncan and his diaper must have shifted because pee pee started running out of the diaper and all over the floor. As everyone was helping to get it cleaned up, Wip looks up at Duncan with a most serious face and says "Duncan, we pee pee in the potty, not on the floor" (do you think he has heard this before?).

Looking spiffy after a haircut

One morning last week I got up earlier than Wip (he has adjusted to the summer schedule beautifully). I went ahead and got his breakfast ready which included a cereal bar (mixed berry), strawberries (he loves strawberries these days), and a cup of milk.  Once he got settled and started munching on his breakfast he looked up at me with the most sincere face and said "mommy, you are such a good cook".  Sometimes I could just gobble him up.

Wip enjoyed camp at the Temple and there was not one day that he came home in a different outfit which means he did not have one accident (yeah!).  Each day I would ask how his day at camp went and who he played with. Sometimes I would throw in a name, for example "Wip, did you play with Dagny today?".  He would always respond "No, she was sick".  I finally caught on that the children that I would bring up did not sign up for camp, but in Wip's mind he just thought that they were under the weather.  Too funny.

Butterflies made out of wipes and band aids 

Daddy and Duncan had plenty of bonding time last week while I was at work and Wip was at camp.  Check out this video of Patrick sneaking up on him after a nap.  This will be replayed a million times because it just makes me laugh.

Finally, we officially have a walker and an Elvis impersonator. Check it out:

Haines Family Visits Louisville

This weekend a very special friend and her family came in town for a visit.  Ann, Dan, Parker, and Hadley drove in from Cincinnati and lets just say that it did not take much for Parker and Wip to become great friends. Here is how it went down:

Parker: Do you like dinosaurs?
Wip-Yeah!

That was pretty much it.  Two peas in a pod.  When Parker woke up on Sunday morning he started crying and Ann said "what is the matter with you?", Parker replied "I forgot my best friend's name!", she said "are you talking about Wip?", in which he said "yeah, that is it."  Friends for life.

We went to the zoo on Saturday morning and got to see the dinosaur exhibit (little gruesome at the end) and then the adults headed to LCC for the member/guest tennis tournament and the children went to Preston's 3rd birthday party with Kate and Caroline.  Fun was had by all!

Bath Time

Post tennis match-we survived!

My favorite outfit...what a cutie

From start to finish

Ms. Marie was so sweet and sent home pictures of Wip as a turtle.  Here is a look back at his first year at the Temple:

Meet William!

What do you get when you cross a curly headed, fun, sweet girl with a sincere, kind, goofy boy?

My cool nephew William!

He was ready to come a little early (keeping his parent on their toes:) and entered the world at 2:02am on Monday, June 4, 2012.  Weighing in at 5 lbs 14 oz, he is a keeper.

Once again it was love at first sight.

One of many sweet moments with Mommy

Take me out to the ballgame

Granddaddy had a birthday in May, but his present came in June when he had a date with Wip at the Bats game. It was a beautiful day for baseball and even though Wip was not really interested in the game he sure did have a good time (and we hope Granddaddy did too:).  With hot dogs, french fries, carousel rides (3 of them), M & Ms, and Granddaddy what more do you need?

Obsessed with the bat

Round 3

The Fevival

Did anyone else think that the fried oreos were amazing?

Friday night we headed over to the Holy Trinity Festival (fevival as Wip calls it).

It was my first time as a parent that I realized just how quickly you can spend money when it comes to your kids and festivals/carnivals/Disney World (if that day ever comes:).  In less than one hour we spent $40 on rides, food, and games.

It was also the first time we have been in a public setting and Wip informed me that he needed to use the potty (major progress).  This potty training thing could be my most challenging lesson to pass along to my son.  I have wanted to hurt him, celebrate with him, and cry with him in his frustration.  Long road, but I know he will not be going to college in a diaper.  Thank you diaper man.

Fishing for prizes

Hey Brother...hope you are enjoying that ride

Its ok...it would be more fun if you were on here with me

Daddy is nervous
