Lori turns 40!

You only turn 40 once and what a big milestone!  So I celebrated all month long!  

We went to dinner with friends and then to Baker's Street.  We had a great time playing GIANT Jenga.

Preschool Program 2014

I love that Gage has the opportunity to go to the same preschool Keaton and Cort went to when they were young.  This is the end of the year program.  Gage was in the 3 day 3 year old class with Ms. Linda and Ms. Crystal.  

He was so excited and waved to us the entire time. 

Cookies and juice in his classroom after.

My little preschooler.  So glad we still have one more year.
Next year he will be in the 3 day 4 year olds.

Cort ran so hard.  Proud of him!!
Great job!

Ready, set,

GO!

Piece of cake!  He got this!

Gage and I cheering from the sidelines.

Gage loved his TMNT on his face.  He wouldn't let me wash it off for days. And then when we did wash it off, he tried to draw it on his face again by himself.  That kid......

Gage ran into a few daycare buddies.
Cooper, Gage, and Sawyer

Love our Lowery family.

Hamilton Reunion 2014

May 17, 2014
Hamilton Ranch
Elgin, Texas
Home of Fred and Ann Hamilton
(Mark's mom's brother)

The kids were ecstatic to hear they had a zip line!

Keaton went first!

Cort and Gage help to pull him back to the ladder.

I think he liked it!

Cort looks a little nervous in this picture but they all loved the zip line and did it over and over.

"Is it my turn?"
I did think about letting Gage wear the holster and just pull him back and forth at my speed, but it was too big for him.

So we had to go find Gage size fun instead.

Tire swings are cool!

Timothy and Caleb Lassiter (mom-Meredith Hamilton) with Gage.

Cort showing Gage how to stand so they can play baseball.

I love it when the kids just get outside and play.

Where you going now?

Gage loves Kayla!
