Tombstone

The two fellow soldiers who went with me, Privates Peacock (left) and Jaramillo.

Boothill's security.

This is a memorial dedicated to veterans and pioneers.

Boothill Cemetary.

Deep, isn't it?

Great view.

I wish that I could have the guy who thought this up write my epitaph.

A couple of Kansas Kids.

Lunch at the Six Gun Saloon, I'm downing a Sarsprilla

A few pictures from a tour we took of an old Silver Mine.

A great view from a saloon by the mine.

We watched some gunfight reenactments.

I look kind of like the Terminator in this picture.

Jaramillo with a newfound friend.

Peacock looks nice, Jaramillo not so much.

Jaramillo outside an old brothel.

The Birdcage Theatre

The interior.

One of several bullet holes inside the Birdcage.

A neat old music box inside the Birdcage.

The scene of the gunfight at the O.K. Corral.

Another view.

I took this as we were leaving, it would've been great if it had been at sunset.

Class A Uniform

Dad is the only one who's seen me in my Class A uniform, I thought that some more of you (especially Mom) would like to see me in it.

Lucy's Blessing

Here we are at Fort Riley immediately following Lucy's blessing (she screamed during the entire blessing so we're afraid that she is spiritually disinclined like her father). In the one on top, Lucy is the one so swathed in white that she is blinding everyone else and is impossible to see. The wind was also howling as it usually does out here on the plains. Plenty more photos where these came from - I'm just too lazy to post them. Word.

Pat and Nancy's visit

Um, these photos are out of order, I don't quite have Steve's knack for posting in an orderly fashion

Hooray for jam! (her new favorite)

While other children hunted for eggs...
Emily chilled in the driveway with her cheerios filled eggs.  
Easter Sunday...by the look on her face, she obviously prefers Mama :)

Easter Pageant

Some pictures I took from the Easter Pageant at the Mesa Temple grounds.

It's not a gathering of Latter-day Saints without some protestors now is it?

I still for the life of me don't understand how I believe in a different Jesus than the one in the Bible.

Cool sunset.

I didn't know the Mesa Temple Visitor's Center had a Christus statue.

Four of the women from the YSA Branch that I came up with.

The Visitor's Center at night.

You can see the protestors just behind the wall, you can't help but notice the contrast between the group that came to commemorate the life and divine mission of the Savior, and the group who came to distract them from that end. The two are separated by a small wall, I meant this picture to be symbolic in that way.


The Nativity.


During the Nativity portion, they played and sang "Mary's Lulaby," I really like that song.


The Savior's ministry.

The Last Supper.

Gethsemane.

Not my will but thine be done.

Golgotha.

It is finished.

Why seek ye the living among the dead?

Why weepest thou?

Master.

Cool shot of the stage and crowd.

This was the choir of angels that was featured throughout the pageant.

The grand finale "I Know He Lives."

The exalted Savior.

Dave will be in the Army too

Hey everybody. Just wanted to let you guys know that I got the HPSP scholarship so I'll be joining the Army too. Still not sure when I'll get commissioned. I'll let everyone know. Party on.
