Blessing Day

Luke Wilton Lines was blessed on Sunday. We had four generations there and three of them had the name Wilton.  Great Grandpa Lines's name is Wilton, Grandpa Lines's middle name is Wilton and so is Luke's.  We had a great time with all the family and friends that made it out to my parents new house out off exit 87 in Hyder AZ.  We told the guests to go 9 miles north off the freeway and to turn into the first house on the left.  All the grandkids wanted to climb on all the tractors and equipment out there. They also loved the endless supply of dirt. All and all it was a really fun event with great people and amazing food.  Big thanks to Aunt Janice Smith and all the others who brought the food and desserts.















Luke was blessed in the same outfit that all of my brothers and the grandsons have been blessed in. My mother made her own wedding dress and with the extra material she made a blessing dress and a blessing suit. Luke is in the 95 percentile for height, but he was able to squeeze into the suit to uphold the Skousen tradition.
