The Best of San Diego

The Night of Nights

So Tyler and Christine decided to have a reception in my parent's backyard. It was the yard that we grew up in. The yard where we played soccer and baseball with all the neighborhood kids. The yard that Bonnie challenged all the adults to race her. The yard that John sustained multiple head/bodily injuries. The yard where Scott threw rocks at menacing bullies. The yard where I would flip round and round the bars. The yard where our mom would garden. The yard where we'd play "around the island" with dad vs. throngs of wild children. The yard where we moved a lot of wood piles. The yard where we'd have hanging contests, underdogs, and tire swing rides. The yard of picnics, bird houses, sledding, cutting to Chrisina Travis' house, slip n' slides, cartwheels, bubbles, happiness, happiness, happiness. Childhood. All grown up now, my sister Christine, so beautiful and full of love. We love you!

Baptism

McKinzi was baptized on June 20th, 2009 in Rochester, MN by her father. Both sets of grandparents were able to be there and what a magical time it was. Brooke Oldroyd took some fabulous pictures of Kinz the week before her big day and they turned out so beautiful.(I've tried to post them 3 times and it won't let me!) I'll keep trying because they are worth sharing! We did, however, get one of her pictures on the refreshment cake. Grandparents Teeples gave Kinzi a gold necklace and grandparents Young gave her a silver locket(one picture was of kinz, the other was a picture of the Savior). Tyson and I gave her a CTR ring and an engraved set of scriptures. What a blessing to have such generous and thoughtful grandparents. The time together went too fast, as always, and we were left with full hearts and happy memories. We love our family!
