LOOONNNGGGGG

This is my short but long story i wrote for my friend dylan in physics cuz i saw him doing his physics in showtime and i wrote this in 4th period so its not as long as i wanted so here it is!!!

Physics! a word that seems so simple but as hopeful and pressured teenagers, teenagers like Dylan Tweed discover they have a dreaded thing called HOMEWORK thier strong and joyous hearts slowly wither down to a thing called an abyss. the patience of these fatal studentsmust be strong! as the class comes to a close the teacher grabs the marker and heads towards the board a sad sight for all the students the sign of homework. as the dark red marker stains the board like blood the sad students loose hope she writes p. 121 #s 1-40!! The freedom gets torn away! As the high-pitched ringing echoes throughout the room the students in unicen jump and fly out of the room like a hoard of vampire bats chasing after a bucket of a negative blood. As they breath the fresh californian air they are given a small sense of warmth. The students hoard together like the african wild ata watering hole and create a butal dialogue toward the homework and class in general. In the end they realized that nothing was going to happen so they stopped. As the school ends and the students head towards there cars they are givena pride and sudden happiness of they get ready to go to the happiest and most familiar place a plce called home. they throw themselves into their metal deathtraps and moving. purring it rumbles and starts moving forward it starts moving faster and faster suddenly the car is soaring. the driver-dylan-sticks his head out to feel the wind brush his face like its a convass. he gets an overwhelming sensation of joy. He wishes he could just be on the road for all eternity. Bang! just then it his happiness is pulled away so fast he almost passes out. His face turned pale white whiter than the satrs in the sky or harry potter. He realized that the sooner he got home the sooner he had to do his physics homework. He gets home and paces back and forth back and forth waiting for the moment till he had to start his homework. he paces all day and even to the night. Next thing he realized he was awakened by his alarm. Ohh noooo my homework he wates nervously for 2 peroids and realizes he can get his homework from corey. Hey.....corey....uhhh...i left my homework at home could i copy your......sure here. HAHAHAHA! success he turns in his homework and gets a c-. oh well triumph the wate is lifted!!!!!! well sorry about the spelling and thats all.

BORED!!!!!

well down here i have been bored in old california! the weather has been off and on cold hot cold hot. lately we have been freezing and it has rained more than it did in total of last year and to add to that it is freezing inside the house because we have no roof and walls ill see if i could possibly post some pics. the only excitment i have to look forward to is the same as tons (uncle keith). and then after that its boring till tonya and adam come unless they dont bring duke then it will be boring(hint: BRING DUKE!!!!!) my life has been friendless cuz my bfflmnfpo(after the bff i was just making up whatever) has blown me off a lot so yep! tyler you crazy and should just stop blogging cuz the things you say make me think really hard. Im reeeaalllllyyyyyyy excited for ryan and rachel but mostly just for me because im going to be a uncle! if you have decided for a name yet tell me if not name it justin or a variation of it for you favorite sibling(justin). I would just like to say that if i die for some strange reason i love all of you and give one fourth of my money to tanner another one fourth to r and rs baby another one fourth to roxy and the last one fourth to duke bye the family down here is going to lourdes haha loosers bye!!!!

Thoughts on Thanksgiving

I'm just sitting here at work thinking how excited I am that in just 3 short weeks I will be playing the dice game with Uncle Keith. The end.

FYI to all...adam and I now have our very own blog. Thank you thank you. I think the address is like atodd2.blogspot.com enjoy! (keep in mind we just began, so it's pretty empty and not real cute or creative cuz we don't know what we're doing. :P

REcent events!!!

Tyler is great everybody! The estrogen factor in my life is high in healthy levels, so none of you have anything to worry about. I am healthy and strong, and have been to the gym exactly 2 times in the last month! A record and triumph for myself! I found out that I have internet connection in one of my classes, which I abuse moderately, but my keys make loud noises, so i type slowly... winter is coming on, and i will soon be a lazy slob because i will not be able to longboard around town, and mom is being OH SO SELFISH and not allowing me to spend money on a SUPER INEXPENSIVE snowskate. besides that portion of my life being bleak and meaningless, i'm getting my work done and getting good grades, though it's not hard when you're only taking 12 credits... my roommate ryan and i, along with some friends, are creating a team called Team CB in which we go to dance parties and look for people making out and dance up on them. the person to do it the most at the end of the night wins. people will soon know and fear us! 

I claim no "grandpuppies"

Wow...you certainly didn't waist any time on that delivery now did ya.
Not that I am too suprized. How did you find the exact dog you wanted so fast? Thats impressive. Well my I say, enjoy your upcoming sleepless nights. Good thing you are young. He is beautiful indeed, but remember... I only claim the human grandchildren. Adam must feel fulfilled. He finally has his blue eyed blonde AND his blue eyed brunette (even though the brunette is a male. Ha Ha. Have fun with your new addition!

Welcoming baby Todd to the family..

Ladies and Gentleman....We, Adam and Tonya, would like to introduce to you the newest member of the Todd family. DUKE TODD:

If only you could see his eyes in person-they're gorgeously turquoise

WAAAA BAT DOG!!!

He loves his daddy (but he loves mommy more)

His first nap on his spongebob blanky

And his first bath.


Congratulations Kent and Karen, you are now the proud grandparents of 2 puppies and a baby on the way. (But always remember, we gave you the FIRST grandson) ;)

Baby Pictures

Re-landscaped yard

For anyone who remembers the picture of our back yard, will remember that it didn't look like much...well after a couple weeks of breaking my back I've re-landscaped it all by my lonesome! There's still some flowers or vegetables to pland in the planter box behind the patio, but its basically done! Here's the before and after...

Before

and...

AFTER!

Oh My Gosh

I can't believe no one has posted this yet. Hello, most exciting news ever, Rachel is pregnant!

Wow, this is such good news I can't even contain myself. Two weddings, and now this? Life just couldn't get any better!

(This was my attempt to imitate Justin and his tardy postings about major life events, how did I do?)

We have a blog

Hey family, mel and I just made a blog so mel could keep up with all of her married friends who also have blogs and post lots of pictures. She's pretty much the one who is going to be posting things being that I really don't care, but here's the link so you can check it out... 

http://www.mbmcbeth.blogspot.com

Our turn

Well, mel and I just read the activity on the blog which has been silent for months now. The video of Ryan was hilarious, i'm proud to say I saw that in person, though it looks more violent on the video because I know its coming when I watch it. Oh man, you got shook up!

Mel and I are about half way through our first of three homeless weeks as a new married couple. We can't move in to our condo until the 10th of June which means that for three weeks we are moving from house to house living out of suit cases and eating other peoples food. (I like that last one). We are just trying to figure out what items of furniture we have and need to get still. Getting married is a process that doesnt seem to end we're finding out. We thought the planning and stress would soften after the actual wedding day.

Mel starts work on the 2nd of June and I start school on the 23rd. We are excited to get back to a semi-normal lifestyle with schedules and a place to call home. 

More later....

Ryan's Wipeout!

The highly demanded video of the year for the whole family to enjoy! We promise, it gets better EVERY time you watch it...seriously we watch it over and over and laugh ourselves silly! Thanks Ry!

I'm here!!

Remember when I forgot about the family blog? Well after much deliberation, I got my username figured out and here I am! The prodigal daughter. All i have to say about the previous posts is 1. R&R your house is really cute! and 2. Justin is a goober..and should be a writer of dramas.

Well life here in Rexburg is shaping up as summer has finally arrived (at least temporarily). It's been nice and hot the last couple days. Adam is playing on a semi-pro football team and we had our last away game this last weekend in SLC, where we were privileged enough to stay with Noni and Papa, accompany them to the Sizzler where noni spent the last 30 minutes finishing her (and papa's) rootbeer through a tiny straw, find out that they not only own a wii but play it together quite often, and listen to noni apologize for the same things and ask the same questions over and over all weekend. "Oh Guy!" But Adam won his game and they are now 5 and 1, hopefully bound for the playoffs.

Last night for family night we went to Mesa Falls and it was beautiful!! We drove through the back hill hick farm country of Ashton Idaho and all the sudden BOOM we were in a forest, driving up a mountain towards the falls. We were absolutely the only people on the mountain and the only ones at the waterfalls which was kind of fun. There was still snow on the roads and in the trees, but it was really warm and we rolled our windows down and breathed in the fresh mountain air as we coasted down toward home. We then pulled in to Sonic and had dinner old fashioned style-brought out to the car window by a waitress wearing tight black stretchy pants (not part of the uniform). We came home, relaxed, and talked to each other on facebook instant messenger while sitting next to each other...until feeling like sufficient computer geeks, we turned off the computers and went to bed.

Besides facebook instant messenger our lives consist of school for adam, yard work and lots of joy reading for tonya (still no job to speak of and funds running very low...rexburg sucks).

I'll now attempt to attach some pictures for your viewing pleasure...

East Idaho Lionz..he's number 1!! (no, really)

An attractive photo of a very proud wife

Mesa Falls

We love you all!!

Fine, I'll Post

I felt bad that Justin is the only one who really posts, so here I am.

Hmm, not much new happening with Ryan and I. Ryan is in finals, so he is studying his non-existant tushy off. Topic, when someone without a butt, works their butt off, is there an encave left in its place? Discuss!

While Ryan studies at home, I am a slave to the man and unfortunately have to go to work everyday. I do enjoy it most of the time and especially enjoy the benefits of full time employment, ie. paycheck, insurance, etc.

One new blessing in our lives (thank you Justin and Tyler) is our new/old Nintendo 64. We are having a blast playing MarioKart together! The games between us can get quite heated, but usually end with a good old fashioned pillow fight, so all is well. We've discovered that MarioKart is a good way to release our tensions from work and studying. Its awesome, I can't remember life without it.

I hope you all have fun at B&M's open house this weekend!

Later.

no affence

i didnt post about brandon and melannies wedding no affence it was wonderful no dance mat no garder no bouque. It was still awesome though even if it was a million degrees personally i stuffed my face with giant chocolate covered strawberries after the brothers of the newlyweds markede the car up wich was fun i cant really report much more because its not finished yet we still have the open house tommorrow and mom is nagging me to start cleening up so bye

this is just sad

ok so no one has posted anythingon the blog ever since march........that is just sad. No one has even commented on the weddings so i guess i will just have to. So on april 12th adam and tonya had a beautiful wedding on the sports court kristen caught the flowers.......amazingly of course she jumped like michael jordan to get them personnaly i thought karri would get them because she was the tallest. Also of course i cought the garder and wore it proudly on my head and for those who didnt see ill have to describe it for you thoroughly. adam nervous and sweating caustiously shot the garder peircing the wind as it stormed through the air. Just then the air picked it up and through it back near adam. instinctively i lunged ever part of my body and soul to it. Whats this another strange man is going for it ohhhhh nooooo. I i screamed to myself in my outstanding mind i must get that garder or my whole lifes purpose is ruined. He had a advantage because he was much larger than i was probably taller than goliath but that did not stop me oh no nothing could stop me. My body was hurling toward the garder like a arrow blazing towards its target. He was on the same missin it was me then him then me again. I though to myself i must through my hand down as fast as i have ever thrown it before. my hand almost on fire at its speed. Hit it the garder and wait..................YES ITS MINE!!!! he didnt have a chance. Im sure that he was on the verge of crying because of a little thirteen year old boy not even finished with puberty beat his sorry little but. It was the largest moment of triumph in the last century im sure. I could never let this down. This moment was true beauty. Justin prevails. HAHAHAHA!!!!! i laughed from the pit of my stomach like the mad scientist who had finally created Frankenstien. thats all bye

Our House!!!

It's the one in the middle

A playground about 5 houses down

The alley behind the back yard, with entry to the yard
The back yard from over the fence
The doorway, stupid
Looking out from the front porch.

Excited

Wooohooooo!!!! Ihave to just say that I am as excited as this dog is. well under its atrocious appearance. I just have to tell R&R that I am so excited to go visit you in D.C. It is going to be soooo much fun! Love you alll! thats it.

mr. angry pants

Sorry about not blogging in a while its just that my life is so boring lately(which makes me mad). Uhhh....I guess the most interesting thing that going to happen is the fact that I have a scout Jamboree coming up. Downside is though that I have to go with a scout leader that is pritty much like a big bully. He points out the flaws of all the scouts and then anounces it out to everyone. He just makes me really mad. Sorry to down on everyones parade I know that I am usually happy. So I love all you guys and i will try to get tyler to blog more often. See everyone at the weddings

I put a bunch of pictures up over at our blog if anyone wants to see...

Senioritis is striking me with a whip.

hi. so this is my final semester of high school and i'm already feeling the merciless scourge of senioritis. my grades are still good and all, but i feel more lazy and less inclined to do work. along with that i'm also completely worn out by 1 week of being back in seminary. i need energy, motivation, and a warm blanket. any suggestions? also, I'm oh so lonely. but in other news i finally set up an appointment at the DMV to take my permit test so i can learn to drive and on my birthday i plan to get my license. as for the rest of town i would like to give fare warning to all that drive in escondido by handing out cookies that say "BEWARE"... that is all.
