Violet's Blessing

We finally blessed Violet a couple of weeks ago. It was great. We have had the opportunity to bless all of our children in Russell's parents home, in fact, I think most of the grandchildren have been blessed there. Russell gave her a sweet, wonderful blessing and we are so grateful to all of the family we have that were there to support us and Violet in this special event in her life. We had 4 generations there on my side and Russells, it was pretty neat.


This is the same dress Maggie wore when she was blessed.





This is a quilt that Violet's great-grandma made for her. She is so sweet to always make the babies a quilt when they are born.

Great Grandpa and Grandma Phinizy

Grandma and Grandpa Buckmister

The proud Grandparents of baby #15 on one side and #17 on the other!

Grandpa Phinizy, Bishop Johnson, Aaron, Keith, Clinton, Russell, Granpa B., Grandpa K., Derek, Grandpa Buckmister, and Scott.

Have I ever told you that I coach a little girl that reminds me so much of Maggie. I should take a picture of her & show you. They are both so cute.
