"Tee" Time

It seems like everything going on these days starts with T -- T-ball, teenagers, and trophies. Here's the Gunnell family ode to "T":

T-Ball
It's t-ball time again -- and Reid is enjoying his second year playing in the Provo City league. He's a great hitter and we love cheering him on. His first game was rained out after one inning, but he still managed to hit a home run! We're looking forward to a fun season from our little baller.

Two Weeks of Teenagers
Here's Paul and Sam, "our teenagers" at home for the past couple of weeks. Their parents and siblings moved to Thailand in April, but they wanted to stay out the rest of the school year, so they moved into our basement for a few weeks until school was over. It was quite an experience for our little family. They left yesterday morning to join their parents, and all day Danny J has been asking me for them. "Paul? Sam? Paul? Sam?" -- he's a broken record. Paul and Sam, Danny really misses you. :)
Here we all are, enjoying "T"reats with one of our neighbors, Sister Brown. Treats + teenagers = one crazy family night!

More "Teenagers"
(Not chicks anymore, but not quite chickens)
Do you think Davis's chick, Rock, likes it when Davis holds him? :)
Last week we moved the teenage chickens out of the garage and into the yard. Smelly! They are in a makeshift coop until we get our yard leveled off and get them caged in properly. The kids still love them. I love them more now that they are out of my garage. :) I was totally out of my element last week when I had to go to IFA and buy them new supplies (new feeder, water tank, chicken feed, etc) -- it was an adventure. Here they are in all of their teenage chicken glory:

Trophies
Macie is a dancer extraordinaire. As evidenced by this giant trophy she won with her dance company in their last competition. It is almost as big as she is! We love cheering her on and watching her groove and move on the stage. Last weekend we enjoyed her performances in the big spring recital. Here are some of my fave pics of the Saturday show:

Love the T-time post! All of them actually! I didn't realize you've picked-up blogging again, and had fun reading back through everything! I can't believe you did chicks again! Way to go! Macie, good lookin dance pics, and handsome cowboy, Davis! We love you guys! Cassidy got asked yesterday if she has a boyfriend, and she instantly replied, "Yes, his name is Davis. He lives really far away but he is really nice and we even kiss on the lips." I was dying...pretty cute!
