Some May Days

The month of May started out with Cherry Hill Stake Prom.  This was Nathan's first time taking a date since he wasn't sixteen last year.  He went with Hayley Shipley and I thought they made a very nice looking couple.  Here are some of the photos from that evening.

Hayley and Nate by her front door

They have a Japanese Red Maple in their front yard, too.

Then we went to the Drinkwater home to take group pictures.  

Here's another non-group one of the two of them.  Hayley said she was happy that she could wear heels since Nate is so tall.  :)

Zach Johnson and Chloe Casper

Nick Poaletti and his date

Group shot - featuring previous couples plus Steven Castellano and date, Courtney McLain, and Joe Jett.

And another posed one  

Steven, Nate, Joe, Nick and Zach

....and Steve and our desserts at Friendly's after the dance.  YUMMMM!

Steve took me to a Phillies game on my birthday with was way fun.  We got to sit in the Hall of Fame Club and Jamie Moyer waved to me.  Way cool!!

Kristin Chenowith sang the national anthem ... Way cool, again!!!

This very enthusiastic young man came to our seats, gave me a hat, threw confetti on my head, and led all the people around me in "Happy Birthday".  Super Cool!!

I might have been a little embarrassed.

There we are in front of the broadcast booths

And there it is.....my proverbial "name up in lights" on the Phillies scoreboard (mine is the fifth one down).  It was a great evening and we had a very fun time in spite of the fact that the Phillies lost.  

The following weekend was the Father and Son camp out.  This takes place every year around this time and usually falls on Mother's Day weekend.  Here is a shot of Nathan from the camp out.

I guess Steve thought he should take this photo for Geoffrey since it shows that his company sponsors the scout camp.  While the boys go camping we girls (sometimes it's just Ginny and me - this year Megan was here, too) stay home and watch a chick flick (usually Pride and Prejudice) and relax.  It was a nice weekend for all.

These next photos are just random ones from the rest of the month, but I wanted to include each one of them for different reasons.

And here is a nice photo from Ali Stecher and Robert Fredrickson's wedding of Megan and Steve dancing.  It was a fun party and a happy celebration for the happy couple....so many great friends to be thankful for.

Here's a Sunday morning photo of Steve and Evan tying their ties.  I really like it.  Steve was recently called into our bishopric so he and Evan are rarely getting ready at the same time now.   

Here is a photo we took at night of the progress on the Philadelphia Temple.  It has been fun to watch it coming along whenever we drive through Philadelphia.  Can't wait until we will be able to go there on a regular basis.  What a blessing.
