Elder Dallin Mower

Derek's youngest brother left for his mission wednesday.  He will be spending the next few weeks in the MTC and then will be heading to Buenos Aires Argentina.  We are so excited for him and know he will be a great missionary.  

Saying goodbye was hard but watching him say goodbye to this little one was even harder. When it was time for him to leave she laid her head on his shoulder.  I hope her hug will last him 2 years!  Dallin and Brielle have a special relationship.  She has always loved sitting on his lap and cuddling with him.  He has been so cute with her.  

We love you Dallin and we can't wait to see you in 2 years!
This little girl might not be so little when you get back but she'll still love you!

Love the pony :)

This post for sure made me cry a bit. Love those brothers and their sacrifice, but thinking of them missing the little ones is just so hard! Love ya!

Love your family picture in the snow up above and her little pony sure is cute! I wonder if Katelynn will ever have any hair to do anything fun with, it's a little sparse!

Sweet post, we just welcomed an uncle home last week and my boys picked up right where they left off with him when he left two years ago. It's been fun to watch, that even though it's been two years the love is still there.

That is so sweet of Brielle hugging him. We love Dallin, and will miss him like crazy!

Love ya.
