So, the day was here. Mirah’s name was going to be added to the records of the church, and she would be officially be given a name and a blessing. It was so cool how many friends and family rallied around us on this special day.

Krysta, Zac, and Karen! Poor little Karen had a mild case of hand, mouth and foot. So Zac had to stay home with her.

But Krysta came and represented. I have missed her so badly. 

I got Mirah dressed that morning. I had her outfit set out for weeks. All of her other dresses were packed. She looked so amazing. Huh? The dress is from my mom. The shoes too.

 I don’t think that she was so sure about the bonnet.
Here she is with her dad.

Mirah and Me!

I took a bunch of these from Maryn’s facebook. 🙂
The group walking to church. Something to note, thisis the last time we would walk to the 10th ward. It  was our last Sunday in the ward. I was released that Sunday. Also, they FINALLY split our huge ward.

Karl and baby.

Cam and Kelly.


Bart, Belle, and Krystin.

We all got to church like 20 minutes early, and still barley had enough room for everyone!
I will name everyone in the picture, it was awesome.
Cameron, Brandon, Grandpa Hite, Great Grandpa Barney, Bishop Bergess, and Nick in the circle. Karl  gave the blessing, it was wonderful, and perfect. I am so greatful that Mirah was born in the covenant, that her father holds the priesthood and that I am a mother of such a great little girl.

Me Maryn and Mirah. Mirah was asleep here…

Then she started to wake up!

Once this red red photo occured, she was AWAKE, and not wanting to pose for any more photos.

This one above is my favorite.
I like this one blow a lot too.

Krystin and that hair!




The ever reverent Brandon found a little kids bike, and took a ride.

It looks smaller, and funnier from this angle.

Then there is Leah, the animal, and it turns out bug whisperer.



Brandon looking amazing.

The lovely Leah.





Branny looking…ominous?

Hite family photo shoot.





While we took picutres on our walk home, the rest of the group was waiting on our front porch.

Once we got in, Mom and Maryn changed little Mirah out of her blessing dress.
