Hyrum's Information

Hi everybody. I wanted to make sure that you all have Hyrum's contact information.  His email account is hyrumwischmeier@myldsmail.net  

--He has email access while he's in the MTC.

Also, there is another service you can use while he's in the MTC.  It's www.dearelder.com  you can type him a letter using this website.  They print it out in the MTC office, seal it in an envelope and put it in his mailbox.  He'll get it that day or the following. This service can be used throughout his mission, but the service is free while he's in the MTC.  This is a great way to get him a note right away.  The website also has fun packages with cookies and cinnamon rolls and things that you can order for him. I know he would love to hear from everyone! 

Love you all!!  And miss you more...  Gabe

Family Reunion: Update

Hello All-
So, I hope that no one has taken time off work yet or booked plane tickets for the family reunion. Unfortunately, we are going to have to push the date back one week. Scott has a river trip that he goes on every year and we just found out that the dates coincide with the reunion. The dates for the next weekend will be June 27-29. If a different date works better, please let me know. I am really sorry to have to do this, but I really want Scott to be there since he knows how to make everything up there work! Let me know what you all think, OK. Oh, and on a different note, we found out that we are going to have a boy! We are really excited and can't wait for our new addition!
Love to all!

The Reutzel's

Here are some pics I took of the cute (and growing) Reutzel family.

Easter - Cedar City

We went up to Cedar City today, colored eggs and had a mini-easter egg hunt. 'Cranberry' is getting so big and Noah looks even bigger when they are standing next to each other. The lovely artistic design on the final egg is from April.

It's Twins!

We just found out that Holly is expecting twins. We are so excited. It will be fun to see if she carries out the boy/girl Rasmussen tradition. She is due October 9th but the doctor thinks she'll deliver in September.

Eva Donelle Wischmeier

I wanted to let everyone know that Lyndsi and James had their baby this morning.  They've named her Eva Donelle Wischmeier, she's 7 lbs. 10 oz. and measures 20.5" in length.  Everyone is doing really well.  We were all surprised that Eva decided to show up on her 'actual' due date.  I'm not sure how many natural child births happen on the actual projected date?!  We thought it was cool!  I can't wait to see her on Tuesday when I head up to Orem!  Love you all.

Hyrum's send off.

I will be headed up to Orem on Tuesday afternoon to have dinner with Bob, Bonnie, Hyrum, Grandpa, Kathleen & anyone else who will be there then. I hope Debbie & I will be coming together. Congratulations Hyrum, I look forward to seeing you.

The Wischmeier's are coming! The Wischmeier's are coming!

Hi Everyone -- Hyrum enters the MTC in 5 days!!  So subsequently Utah will have a slight increase in Wischmeier population over the next few weeks.  Mom, Dad and Spud are all headed down tomorrow.  I believe their going thru the Provo Temple on Monday morning and then they'll do a session at Mt. Timp on Tuesday. Spud enters the MTC on Wednesday afternoon.  Mom and Dad will be down there through Friday, I believe. I'll be joining them late Tuesday night and will be in Orem thru Thursday evening and then in Salt Lake thru Sunday night. Of course we're expecting the baby to arrive during that time, so all of our plans may change!  If any of you will be around we'd love to see you!  I think a few of you are planning on stopping by, but please know that you're all invited!  I know that Hyrum would be thrilled to get some calls wishing him luck and offering him kind encouragement.  Spud's cell phone number is 406.381.5186 -- if that doesn't work you can call Mom's cell phone 406.531.5944 --- Hope to see you all soon. 

Love, Gabriel

Scentsy

Hello family,

I just wanted to let you know that in my unending quest to be like Faeth, I have decided to get into my own little business. I looked at the exfuze site and thought it sounded really great, but then I thought 'no one will buy health products from a fat girl'. I actually had been looking at the scentsy thing and Faeth's new venture kind of encouraged me to go ahead with it. Scentsy is wickless candles. You buy a warmer and then different scents to use in it. I think the price is reasonable and they have a lot of variety. If you would like to host a party let me know or if you want to you can order directly from my website www.scentsy.com/sarahcross. Thanks! Love you all.

I am writing to let each of you know about an opportunity that has "fallen into my lap" basically. Ever hear the term, "Being in the right place at the right time"? Well, that's how my sisters-in-law and I feel. My friend Krista and her husband Greg have a neighbor that has started several companies over the last 20 years. One is called NuSkin, which is now about 70% in other countries. Each one becoming extremely successful. They have known him for close to 8 years. He is a multi, multi-millionaire. He's amazing, that's the best way to put it. He's one of those people that you listen to when he talks about business.
I'm going to try and explain to you in the shortest way possible what has happened over the past 3 weeks. And if what I have to say is of any interest to you, then call me. It's kinda one of those 'damned if you do and damned if you don't things'. What I mean by that is that when I do tell some people about it they have no interest and might be irritated that I even shared the information, and some people that if I don't share what I know could later be mad at me.

About 3 weeks ago this neighbor/friend of my sister-in-laws came to her and said he was getting involved with a new company. He knew that Greg and Krista made a very good income already, $400,000+ a year in their own financial planning business, but he thought that they would be very interested in what he had. The only reason that they decided to give this business a shot is because of the expertise of their friend. Long story short, they decided to join his business....with many of our friends and family.
It is called eXfuze. You can find it at http://www.exfuze.com/ It is a Network Marketing company. I know that turns many people off...TRUST ME, my sisters-in-law and I were one of those people. And in some form still are. The difference this time is this.....timing! This company has not launched yet. It is barely at it's beginning. The first ever checks were sent out one week ago; though the company has been in the works for some time. If you had the chance to get involved with Amway, Shaklee, Mary Kay, etc,.....when they first opened their door, we all would have done it had we known what monsters they would become. We feel this is our chance to be a part of something that big. The product is amazing, the company financing is amazing, the people running the company are awesome. One of the most important things is, the compensation plan is like no other company out there. There are 7 ways to get paid every month. It truly is an incredible plan, I'm amazed at how the whole thing works. You help people build their teams, you have no choice but to do so. Once I was in the system, I had people under me that I didn't know, and I got paid from having them there. I am not, never have been, a fan of Network Marketing. This truly is different, if it wasn't...I wouldn't do it. You don't have product in your home, except what you consume yourself, you don't do parties, and you don't have to call people every month to get them to buy more product. How great is that!?

So, I am way excited about this opportunity. I am sharing it with you because I would love to see my friends and family succeed along side me. If you have no interest in knowing more, that is completely fine with me. I totally understand. I don't need more people to enroll, I just want to share what I know because I don't want to be the one that doesn't share what I think is an amazing thing. Check out the web page, see for yourself what an amazing product it is, and it tastes good too. Soon the company will go public and will be expanding into other countries....Korea and China in June and Japan in October, and more to come after that. If you want to get in now.....now is the time. I feel timing is everything, and it's totally on our side!
Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know about the opportunity. If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know. I would be more than happy to answer them for you. Again, I am nervous about even telling friends and family about this because I hate to impose. But I do truly feel like it's a great chance to make an extreme amount of money. I am already seeing it, so is my family. Keep in mind, there is no real obligation, either. If you feel like it is not working out for you once you sign up, you can very easily cancel.
Also, for those of you in St. George, there is going to be an informational meeting next Friday evening. I can give you directions if you would like to attend. Love you all!

Temple

This is just a quick post. Trevor and I are on our way to getting sealed in the temple. The bishop told us that we should be ready to go after our first anniversary (June 23rd). We are really excited. I hope a few of you can come. :)

Laurel and DeAnn thanks for setting up this blog. We talked about it on the cruise last fall, so I'm posting some photos from the cruise. It's been fun reading about everyone and looking at the pictures. I just wish Maureen would've been able to get the sombrero on the seagull; that would have been a picture to post.

Family Reunion

Hello All! Sorry it has taken so long to get back to everyone in regards to the family reunion this year! Last we spoke, I thought we wanted to do it the weekend after Granpa's birthday, which I believe would make it the weekend of June 20th. That is the weekend I have told Scott's grandparents, but we can change it if we need to.
For those of you who don't know, we talked about having a reunion this year in Bear Lake. Scott's family has some property just outside of Laketown right on the beach. I hesitate to call them houses because truly, they are double wide trailers. We have two of them that we can use. Between the two trailers there are 5 bedrooms and we tend to only use the kitchen in one of them. We are more than welcome to use both trailers but with as many of us as there are, people are definitely going to have to camp. There IS room on the property for camping as well as there is a campground about 100 yards up the road. We have a couple of canoes and a speed boat. (It's old, but it works!) We can also rent jet skis at the same place where the campground is about 100 yards up the beach. I am not sure what everyone likes to do, but there are 2 nine hole golf courses near by and one 18 hole that will be opening soon. Not sure when. I know lots of people bring motorcycles and four wheelers to the area as well. So.... it's prety much up to everyone what they want to do! Let me know what everyone thinks. We can set up a calander for meals or events or activities, etc. Can't wait to hear what everyone wants to do and hope to see everyone there!!!

Prayers and Makeup

Yesterday was a day. Sydney beautified herself and then when she was all clean we went and played at the park in our complex. It was a little chilly, but during the day it was beautiful. We love having a playground thrity seconds from our house. Everytime we walk by it we have to let her play. She takes off running toward it and screams all the way there. She is getting so big and goes down the big slides all by herself. She is so funny. We are so glad that people are acutally getting involved with this family blog. Love you all have a good week

This is turning out to be a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone who's signed up and posted comments, pictures, etc. Let's get the family members who aren't signed up yet to join. Especially Grandpa since it bears his name. I'll go try to teach him how to use it. Faeth, do we have the exact date of the reunion yet? This is a great place to post that info too.
