Happy 21st birthday to Brian, serving his mission in the Dominican Republic! Here he is, newly born:
Here he is after a long, hard day walking all over Niagara Falls:
I love that picture! You can just tell he is thinking, "I can't go on anymore"!Here he is in 5th grade, after winning the Arizona Fleming Elementary School Spelling Bee for the 2nd year in a row:
Here he is in May of 2007, holding the envelope containing his call to serve a mission in the Dominican Republic Santo Domingo West Mission:
Here he is on August 29, 2007, after eating one last meal at IHOP:
He entered the Missionary Training Center a couple of hours later, ready to begin his new adventure as a missionary!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRIAN!! I love the picture where he just can't go anymore... Wow, 4 months, the time is really winding down.
Wow, he is close to coming home. It's fun to look back at his 21 years with you. Happy birthday, Brian.
Okay, what is wrong with me? That post made me cry! You are such an amazing mother with incredible kids. He is such a great kid--well, now a guy, I guess. Man do I feel old! And so many days, I feel like him in that Niagara pic. That's priceless!
Aww! Happy birthday, Brian!
(So I totally spaced and thought his p-day was on Wednesday. I emailed him today, but he'll get it after his birthday. *facepalm* Oh well. It's the thought that counts.)
Kimberly? Do you not remember the e-mail from Brian that I forwarded to you yesterday? That he wrote on his P-Day? You're a little young for senior moments, you know!
Yesterday, before I got the forward, I thought his p-day was on Wednesday. By the time his email makes it into my inbox, it's too late to send him something and think he'll read it that day.
So I just waited and emailed him on his birthday.
Cinco de Mayo?!? Best birthday ever!
You are too young to have a 21 year old!!
