Summer Visit from Mimi & Cousin Gabriel

Mimi and Cousin Gabriel came to visit at the end of July before school started up again. Reid was so excited to spend some quality time with his oldest cousin.
Once Mimi and Gabe arrived in Dallas, we picked Reid up early from his last day of Kidventure Camp and headed to Grapevine to meet up with dad for lunch at the Rainforest Cafe. Reid was a little intimidated by it at first, but within minutes, he couldn't get enough.

 After lunch, we headed to the SeaLife Aquarium.

And then on to Lego Land!

 On Saturday morning, we all headed out to Dallas Love Field & the Flight Museum for some Aircraft, Rescue & Firefighting fun!

 Reid's friend from school, Dylan and his little brother Dean were there as well.

 Post nap, we were in for even more firefighting fun at Cooper's 3rd birthday party.

Sunday morning fun at the Perot Museum!

And yes, we rounded out the weekend with a trip to none other than Chuck E. Cheese.

July 5th - July 29th

"Look how tall I am, mommy!"

Balloon swords = poor parenting decision 

 Every kids favorite area of Northpark Mall

Hunter wants nothing more than to be just like Reid.

 Superhero day at LHCCEC

 The coveted water fountain in the Crickets' class

 Rockstar day at LHCCEC

 The dreaded phone call from school....this time to report a chipped tooth!

While playing on the sport court, Hunter collided with the ground.

 Still a cutie pie...snaggle tooth and all!

 So much fun stuff to do at the LH Rec Center (Larkin & Lila's birthday party), but these boys were fascinated with the window washer.

 Daddy & mommy took the day off work for daddy's birthday, and this little monkey decided he wanted to tag along so he called in sick to school.  

We love you, Grandma & Grandpa Sorensen!

Summer fun at Grandpa Kim & JoJo's!

Miss Aurora makes house calls, and the boys love her!

They love her so much that they help her clean!

Crickets - Jack & Hunter

On June 29th Jack officially became a Cricket at Lake Highlands Christian. "Cricket" in childcare speak means "potty training class!" Needless to say, this class will definitely mark a milestone in the boys' lives (and in mom's and dad's as well!).

This is the class Reid was in when he started at LHCCEC. 

Miss Elboni and Miss Elma are the teachers. Miss Elboni is the master potty trainer. The entire Andersen family loves her to pieces!


Reid's favorite thing about the Cricket's class was the water foundation. Like brother, like brothers!

Reunited!  

Two weeks after his brother became a Cricket, Hunter moved from the Explorer's Class to the Cricket's Class on July 13th.  

Hunter's going away gift to his Explorer teacher, Miss Julia. He loves to build "towers!"
