Spring Fling, Sports, and Birthday Shindigs!

 Our first true spring weekend was filled with many fun events! The Spring Fling at the elementary school kicked off Friday. The whole family was able to attend, and the evening was filled with jumping on a million bouncies, petting all the animals, dunking a favorite teacher, and winning fish! (There are two new Thorne family members, Goldilocks and Tom.)

Jay and I were unpaid Uber drivers on Saturday with all the kids' sports. Like usual Maggie had gym at 9am, but the boys had back to back baseball games, as well. We were driving all over Roswell doing drop-offs and pick-ups! Luckily we both caught most of the baseball games. Jacob is really understanding the game this season and can consistently hit the coach pitch. He even had a chance at playing first base and made several outs. Tuttle is on another winning team with amazing coaches. He played catcher Saturday since the main catcher was injured and did an impressive job. He was frustrated with a few errors, but he can only learn from them for the next game. His team tied 12-12. Grandmommy and Grandaddy were there to cheer Tuttle on.

Our next Saturday stop was Holland's 7th birthday party. The kids were so excited to celebrate their cousin at Sky Zone! 

The final big bash of the weekend was Tuttle's 12th birthday party. We could not have wished for a more perfect spring day for Tuttle and his favorite buddies to play paintball. While all the boys were a little apprehensive to walk into their first battle, they loved every second and no battle wound kept them from playing for the next three hours!

For future reference under those face masks are Jack Anderson, Jack DeAses, Cade Leonard, Hudson McCoy and Davis Parker. :)

One of Tuttle's friends had a baseball tournament and could not come, so Jay took his spot last minute. Clearly he was not dressed for the activity in a button down and flip flops. Several of the spectators coined him "The Church Man" since he was so dressed up!

Jacob was too young to participate, so he had to enjoy from the sidelines. He cannot wait for his turn to play!

Maggie was perfectly fine with her shady spot during the party. 

The party was a complete success, and I cannot believe I have a TWELVE year old! We are so proud of the person Tuttle is becoming, and I know his future is so bright!

Happiest birthday to Tuttle!
