SPL turned 5 on July 13 and we celebrated with TX grandparents, friends, and Beth's family. This year we won a birthday party through SPL's preschool auction so we had a bigger scale party than we usually do. This one was at a local indoor sports complex that also houses giant inflatable bounce houses, obstacle courses and fields to

and soccer. Since we have a

actively participating in dodgeball!
