t + k + e: Meet Todd

Todd is such an amazing dad! Kim and Ellie both love the time of day when Daddy gets home from work! He loves to spend his time outside of work reading to Ellie, going on walks to see the farm animals a couple blocks from our house, going fishing together, and being silly.

Todd has always loved being an uncle and spending time with his nieces and nephews. He has a natural way of making children feel special and important.

{in the top left picture, todd was asleep and his niece thought it would be funny to put silly putty on his face. todd, of course, woke up while she thought she was being sneaky, but todd enjoyed going along with it for her enjoyment.:)}

From June 2002 through June 2004, Todd served as a full-time LDS missionary in the Long Beach, California area. He absolutely loved his mission! It was there that he put to practice the attitude of his mission president, an attitude that Todd likes to live by: "We work hard and play hard."

In the Spring of 2009, Todd graduated with his Bachelor's degree in Accounting. He now works as a City Treasurer, making sure the City's books and budget are kept up-to-date.

Some of Todd's most favorite things to do are fishing, hunting, 4-wheeling, boating, and playing basketball.

Quote: "Work Hard and Play Hard"

Todd loves doing fun things all together as a family, like going to local sports games, boating, swimming, hiking, camping, feeding ducks, getting ice cream, sledding in the winter, tubing/water skiing in the summer, and playing games. He is always smiling and ready to have fun! Todd loves serving the Lord through his callings at church, and spends a lot of his time doing so. Todd loves having tickle wars with his daughter, eating his "cookies and milk" before going to bed, playing basketball with his buddies, going camping as much as possible, hiking, fishing (especially ice fishing!), hunting with his dad and brother, playing the game Risk, and being surrounded by family and friends. He also loves to take care of our yard and fix things around our house.

todd's side of the family

Todd has two sisters and two brothers, and two amazing, loving parents. We have two nieces and four nephews on this side of the family. We feel so blessed to see them often and have them as some of our closest friends!

One of Todd's family's favorite thing to do together is go camping. Some of our most memorable trips have been camping along the Oregon coast and in Flaming Gorge.
