When I wasn't playing shepard, I shot video so Summer was the main photographer. She shot over 630 pictures during both services! Thanks goodness for digital photography. You'll see some of her shots here, as well as more in her own blog.
We had to be at the church early, so Summer was able to get a lot of crazy candids before the 1st service.
Who's that crazy shepard in the background? That's none other than Rasheed! (the former lead guitarist for Germany's renowned Iron Cross band and now pro cyclist and part-time cardiologist practicing under the name of Thomas).
There's that crazy shepard again, with his "black sheep" Gaby. (Next year, he said he wants to sing a solo--are you reading this , Music Director Kimbo???) And who's that crazy filipino shepard in the background??? Maybe he can do a solo next year as well.
Shepard boy Josh fuels up for....
...his solo! Great job, Josh!
Conchita helps get Natalie ready.
Going over the program with Natalie. She was going to take over the video while my part was up. 
The "stars" of the show were Mary and Joe (aka Holly and Dee Elias). Holly sang great and Dee looked very "josephly". Joe was thinking, "Hmm, Mary is really getting into her part here with the baby...does that mean she wants another child now??? I guess having 4 girls would be ok...but that sure is a lot of weddings to pay for...hmmmm...I'd better slow down on my car collection and start pulling a lot more teeth!"
One of Joe and Mary's real girls, Carly, who is trying to frown, but is there such a thing as a frowning angel??? (Summer loves taking pictures of Carly, as you can see).
Jenny did a great job as the "girl in the stable".
Lots of great music, organized by Kimbo (seen here in front of Keri and Conchita).
Kim conducting the Ladie's Chorus. They sang like angels! (I told Summer to take various angels of the singing, so she did!)
The little cheribum kid's choir...
"It's cold out tonight, in this God-forsaken place, and we're stuck here with a thousand sheep...." this was my 1st...and LAST public solo!
"We're not exactly every woman's dream!" (Ok, maybe one woman's dream...;-x) "See, I can sing just as well as that filipino shepard...where's my microphone?"
Chloe (daughter of Joe and Mary) does a great job on her solo, as did Bailey and Julia.
Mephi, the husband of cousin Gladden, was also involved in the program. He's a strong singer!
Must run in the family because their youngest, Joelle, did a great job singing a solo!
After the show, many group shots were taken to remember this day by. Here are some of the women in red : Conchita, Florence, Vivian (aka Vashti), and Keri (aka Arti).
