Keira's dress is a replica of mine when I was blessed. The reason for the replica is that she was 4 times my age - I was only 1 month old - so she was too big for my dress. Luckily, Grandma Judy had a woman in her ward willing to pull it together for me in less than 2 weeks. Phew!
I had a wonderful surprise when my oldest sister, Rochelle, and her youngest boy, Carson, showed up at sacrament meeting. I had no idea she was coming! A big thanks to Grandma Judy for making that happen. Keira has finally met 2 of her 5 cousins born this year - Olivia Horner and Carson Petersen. Yep! That's 6 kids born this year in my family.
Terri & Olivia, Rochelle & Carson, Leah & Keira
Keira & Cousin Carson - Keira isn't putting up with silly boys!
Cousin Livi and Keira - both of them look more like their Daddy's
I also finally got to see my baby brother! It's been 2 1/2 years since I've seen Unka Ty as he returned from his mission in Brazil this May. He's as handsome as ever. We hope to see him again soon. He's attending BYU-Idaho so it's just a short drive for a visit. (I just realized I didn't get a picture with him - grrrrrr!)
One last thing...I am well overdue in announcing the birth of the last baby cousin this year. My sister Jill had Penelope (Penny) Ann Holyoak on Sept 3 (ok I'm a month overdue in announcing this...sorry Jill!). Congrats and can't wait to meet her! (All other cousins posted previously - see post from June 13, 2008.)

So BEAUTIFUL! Glad her special day went well!
She's so pretty! And that group picture makes me laugh so hard because the Horners in the back are desperately trying to be seen! hahaha!!!
Oh those are great pictures of little Keira. Such fun!
I think Keira looks like you. She can look like Rick too if she wants to, but in her face I see your peaceful countenance.
She is just precious! Oh my goodness. I am just dying to see her. I just love blessing dresses, all white and cute little bows.
