Setting Apart and MTC!

I am so incredibly blessed to have my siblings close to me.  Thank you Brad and JoEllen for being here at this special day for Sophie and for us.  I love you both so much!  Stake President Ellsworth went around the room and asked the brothers and Shayne to say something that they like about Sophie.  David said that he likes that he's going to get her room and Ben said that he likes that she brings peace to the family.  When he got to Josh he just started to cry.  It was so sad.  They are so incredibly close.  This is going to be a rough couple months for him.  The sooner he can get out on his mission the better.  He took this picture and put it on his Snapchat.
 These picture's were taken later that day when we got to Grandma and Grandpa's house for dinner with all the cousins.
 This was the next morning before we went to drop Sophie off at the MTC.  They all matched that morning.
 We went over to the Temple before hand to get some picture's.  We also had Ashley meet us there.  We thought it would be good for her to feel the spirit and to see Sophie off.  Maybe plant the seed in her heart to go on a mission too. 
The first thing we did was recreated the picture we took when we dropped off Shayne 4 years ago. 
 Sophie tried to keep Josh happy as long as she could.
 Then we all hopped in the van and drove across the street.
 Josh lost it as soon as we got out of the van.
 Sophie never looked back.  It's a good thing.  She's a smart girl.
