Weekend before last was The Choraliers spring performance of The Addams Family. It was really good. Clara was one of the ancestors – they looked like ghosts to me – and here are a couple of action photos of her during the show. She is right in the middle of both of these pictures. It really was an amazing show.

The same Saturday that Sherri & Amber came up, Adam had called to see if he could come over and do some work to earn money for him to go on vacation. He is an excellent worker – he & Jeff got twenty stumps, I think it was, dug up, and gathered up a lot of downed branches to put in the burn piles, and here I got a picture of him digging sand and rocks out of the creek so that hopefully it will flow better. He was a huge help.

June has started her first ever real job – working at the Peach Tree, making milkshakes and serving ice cream. When Sherri, Amber, and her kids were in town to go to our church yard sale a couple of weeks ago we headed there after they finished shopping to grab some lunch, and I got this picture of June at the milkshake machine. She seems to really like it, and my peach milkshake was delicious!

Sherri came up a couple of weeks ago to see Adam in action pole vaulting. We had great fun visiting and cheering him on. Here are a couple of pictures.

Catching up on old pictures now. I got this one a couple of weeks ago when I went up to Nathan and Diane’s house – Andy & Amy’s son – to pick up barbecue that I’d bought from their son Daniel’s Trail Life troop. These are his oldest and next youngest sisters, Mia and Marissa, hanging out while his mom & I visited. I can’t remember where Daniel and his youngest sister, Callie, were at the time, but they are all just cute as can be.

We had our annual Easter gathering here at the house for lunch today, although Andrew, Jenny, & Adam were on vacation in Florida & weren’t able to be here. It was still a wonderful, beautiful day, though. We got this picture of Addie & Lee and their kids with the azaleas that were still blooming.

Jeff had a good time arranging the grandkids amongst the azaleas, so they weren’t just standing in a boring straight line like they have been every other year 🙂

Lindee got this picture of Jeff and me with our girl before she headed out for the ball.

Her good, good buddy Jacob with his mom. I am over the nursery at church, she is over the children’s programs, so we have worked a lot together over the years. At the last military ball, as a matter of fact, she was directing some children’s activity at church that very night, so on their way to the ball, after all of the kids left the picture session at Lindee & Jackson’s, they went by the church so Cathy could see them all dressed up. I was so glad she got to be there for pix this time.

Saturday night Jeff & I headed out to Lindee & Jackson’s house to take pictures of Clara and her buddies heading out to the spring Military Ball. They all just looked so beautiful. Here is Clara with her besties Maily, Olivia, and Addie. They all just looked so beautiful.

Jacob and Clara have gone to church together I guess since they were born, and school together since they were four years old. He was the only date who was able to be there for the pictures. Wade, Clara’s date, had a day-long track meet that day, and only had time to meet her at the dance – no picture time. I do hope they got some pix together while they were there.

Addie has been one of her besties ever since she started high school, but her mom has recently gotten transferred to California, so she will be going to college at Cal State Fullerton, I think Lindee said. I hope she loves it, but it will be hard for Clara to let her go. I’m glad we got this picture of them together. Clara was taking a tie that matched her dress for Wade to put on when he got to the dance, so Addie posed holding it like she was Clara’s date for this picture 🙂

Yesterday morning we were in York to see Adam in action in the pole vault again. Once again he cleared his PR of 10′, but just missed making 10’6″. He is working so hard that I’m sure he’s going to hit it soon.
