HELP! I need all of you.

I'm really struggling with something: Keeping up with birthday posts. As I look back through the archives I have done literally hundreds of birthday posts over the last few years. And I have loved doing them. So what's the problem? My schedule right now. I am in an INTENSELY busy period with our start up agency and am finding it very difficult to keep up with the ever growing amount of birthdays. For instance: By the time this week ends, I will have flown to five different cities for meetings and presentations. Right now I'm in Vegas. I'm not telling you this so that you think I'm important, I'm just swamped growing a very rapidly expanding agency. When I joined the agency we had two clients: O Organics and Eating Right. Today our roster of clients includes: O Organics, Eating Right, Safeway, Jamba Juice, T-Mobile, The Organic Center, Manduka Yoga Mats, and a couple of pro bono accounts. SWAMPED! Keeping up with birthday posts is not only very difficult right now, it's some days impossible as I'm in the air, in meetings, or unable to connect. So...can I take a break from the birthday posts for awhile? And can whomever from whatever family is having the birthday pick up the slack and do a post? I do love knowing who is having a birthday, but I do need help. What do you think? Can we share this responsibility? Big thanks. Oh, and one last thing: HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDEE! I HOPE YOU'RE HAVING AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING DAY. WE LOVE YOU! (darn, I have no picture).

Just wanted to let you all know that we are having another boy! I think Thomas will love having a little brother to play with/pick on. Here are a few shots of the little guy.

Here's his cute li'l bum sticking up in the air.

And here he is waving hello.

We're thrilled and feel so blessed!

It's a ......

BOY!

I know Ryan and I said we were going to keep it a surprise but right as I pulled into the hospital parking lot, I received a text from Ryan that said, "just find out what it is for me". I asked the ultrasound lady if she could take a picture of the baby and write the sex on it. She then folded the picture up and stuck it in an envelope. I called Ryan and we discussed it for a while, then I opened it. I cried but I'm over it now and very excited. Ryan was way excited saying, "3 for 3"!

Another Baby....

What’s that simple phrase
We use it all the time
“Life never happens how you think”
Here goes my little rhyme

I guess I drank the water
And soon you’re sure to see
You think I’m crazy now --- just wait
Til there is three under 3

It’s taken a while to accept the fact
And now we finally do
The exciting thing about this one
We know that there’s not two

We think it will be lots of fun
To keep it a surprise
A boy or girl, we will not know
Will join our cutie pies


P.S. Baby Torsell is due April 25th

Morgan and Lauren have an announcement!

Look at our new shirts, do you like them!!

Yes, it is true. Baby Willey will be arriving in February.
Congratulations to Erin and Jeff
Morgan and Lauren!

We have another birthday today!

Meet Kayla Ann Howell, Born 4/15/08 about 1:45 pm. Look at those rolls! Yes she is a big girl. 9lbs 9 ozs!! 21.5 inches with quite a bit of red/blonde hair.
Gorgeous mom Tori, way to go mom we are very proud of you...
Proud dad Kent, I think she definitely looks like she belongs to the family, don't you?
Isn't she beautiful?
One brother is thrilled and the look on Braydens face is priceless. I think he is not real sure what is happening yet. Grandma is dying to get her face into all of those cheeks.

I will let Kent tell you more about what is happening with them, but I couldn't wait to share a few pics.


We love you Kayla, I know Great grandma Denny kissed those ample cheeks and told you how much she loves you before you came to earth.

What a miracle!!

Love you all

Make a bookmark to this site and play the game and you'll learn new words and also help a good cause at the same time:

FreeRice.com

Free rice is a site where you can play a vocabulary game. Every word you get right donates ten grains of rice to the U.N. World Food Program. (Advertisers on the site pay for the rice.) When you get the word right, you get a harder word the next time. If you miss it, you get an easier word.

What a great idea. It's also rather addictive, but you can learn a lot of new words.

Fires, Fires, and more Fires.

I've had so many phone calls over the last few days that I wanted to let you all know that we are safe from the fires burning all across California. The closest fire to us is burning in the Santa Monica Mountains above Malibu. Our skies are pink and COMPLETELY SMOKE FILLED all day. We avoid going out if possible. In fact, the entire day looks like Sunrise or Sunset...it's ominous. But, not only is the state on fire, we're burning HOT. Today it was 95 DEGREES in VENICE. Venice hardly ever gets into the 90s. It's Incredibly hot and windy. Just an update. We're well and grateful to be safe and in a home tonight. Certainly our thoughts are with those who are less fortunate.

Hudson's Blessing

We are going to be blessing Hudson on Sunday, October 14th @ 11:00am for anyone who would like to come. The address of the church is 1350 South 1800 West. He is getting big so fast and we can't believe he's already 6 weeks old!

Any Moms out there want a home-based job?

Most of you know of my former advertising partner Kerry. She left the ad business when she had babies, but still wanted some income and stimulation. Her one requirement was that a job had to be something she could do in her own time, and not interfere with her other full time job as a Mother. She has found what for her is an incredible opportunity doing something she believes in strongly, and she LOVES it. It's a home-based business and last month she was #1 in the company. I told her I would mention it here to see if any of the young (or old) Moms in our family might be interested. The company is called Once Upon A Family (maybe some of you have heard of it) and it certainly seems like it's right up the alley of Mormon families. (She said that last month somebody in Utah was number two in the company.) Here's what it says on their website is the company's mission:

Our mission is to help families connect in loving, joyful, meaningful ways. We offer elegant keepsakes, unique gifts and inspirational tradition ideas to simplify and enrich your family life.

Our products are distributed through Independent Consultants who believe in the importance of family, who want to create a better family life for their loved ones and who are interested in sharing our vision with others while building a home-based business.

If any of you are interested I can happily get you in contact with Kerry. Just let me know. It's a pretty new company as well, so it's a good time to get in if any of you want. Thanks.
PS: it's not just a single position. Anybody can do it.

Bibler's Are Expecting (finally)

After being married for 6 years we decided to take the plunge and start a family. My due date is April 12th so I am 9 weeks and right in the middle of the morning sickness. I know I am not supposed to spread the word until 3 months but I figured the secret was getting out anyway! :) I tried to add a picture but my computer doesn't want to do anything I say today!! Hopefully I will get to see most of you around Christmas time. We love and miss everyone!
