The Wedding!
What a joy to have been a part of the recent wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Jordan Carr! God bless them in the life they now lead!

Ms. Mary DeVries glides down the aisle on her dear father's arm.
Only minutes before, she was preceded by her husband-to-be's sister, Beryl. Doesn't she look lovely??
The bride's sitser (aka: Maid of Honor) soon follows the groom's sister in her walk down the aisle.
The bride and groom listen as a song is sung for them.

Ladies and Gentlemen! I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Jordan Carr!!! *ecstatic applause* :D
The place where the bride and groom's piece of cake used to be. *yum yum*
The groom and bride make their graceful exit..........just kidding!!
Run Jordan and Mary! Ruuuunnnnnnn for your lllliiiives!!!!!
The Dance of the Rose Bouquets. *heehee*
Sweet Momma talking with Mrs. Bahr in the church kitchen.
An aerial shot at the church sanctuary. Lovely, just lovely!

Emily, what are you doing on the stage?? ;)
Jean and I, what a dear friend!
Bye Beryl!!! It was nice to see you too!! *haha* (she is actually tossing something in this picture, not waving ;)


Kitchen Fun!
Momma and I decided a few nights ago that we would break out the camera and have some fun while preparing dinner. The photos following are the end result. :)


The delicious Stone Family method of potato baking!
Peel those carrots Lidia...peel 'em! Great job!

Ahh...nothin' like fresh cucumbers.
What do you think this is Anna, a spa???? :D
The by-product of Momma weighing eggs. The numbers on them represent how much a dozen of the same weight would weigh. For example: a dozen of eggs the same weight as the right-most one would weigh 29 oz. Pretty neat, eh? :)

Here's the OFFICIAL egg weighing contraption! (the egg on the scale is not real, that's why it looks as though it doesn't weigh anything)
Look at the size of those peppers! They're as big as her face!

Cooking lemon-peppered chicken.
Mamma's faithful diligence is a constant inspiration to us all. We love you Momma!!!!!!!
