Hey Everyone,
I am going to try this again, only this time I am keeping the water far away from my computer.
About a week ago, I had a good bunch of stuff typed up for my latest entry on the blog, when I picked up my bottle of water to take a drink, only to have the lid fall off, and I dropped the water all over my computer! Can you say cuss words!!!! Of course, everyone knows water and computers don't mix! The screen immediately went black. I thought for sure it was a lost cause, but I shut it off and set it by the heater for 3 days to let it dry out. On Wednesday I turned on the computer, and the Lord had truly answered my prayers, and it came to life and has worked without and problems since! I really think the Lord knew that might have been one thing too many. Or he just felt like I needed a little extra love that day. Whatever it was I am truly grateful.
The only down side to it is that I can't even remotely remember what it was that I was feverishly typing away at.
I'm pretty sure it was something to do with Megan and Ford but I can't think what it would be.
So, I will just say that we are all doing well. Ford tried out for and made the highest choir at the Jr High. He will be in the Madrigals next year. It is a really big deal to the kids in choir and therefore He is very excited!
Megan got two of her grades up before the end of term. So things are on the whole looking up.
Tractor season is upon us and we are grateful for the work. I am a little stressed about money, but in all honesty who isn't?
Things are good but I am praying that they will get better. Love you all and miss you. wish we had more time and money to be able to make the rounds and go see everyone. For those of you out of state need to know that I don't see Mindy or Christi much more than I see you. we might as well all be in different states. Between life keeping us busy and the lack of funds to go anywhere. So just know that I love and miss you all! I am so grateful to have such an amazing family to belong to! I am inspired by you, you make me want t o try harder to be a better person so that I might be able to spend the eternities with you all. Love Jana
P.S. Sorry so sappy but this is what is on my brain.

happy everything
so Dave & Jennah, hope your anniversary was wonderful. somehow my last week didn't happen well, so sorry! Anyway, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! I'm glad you're not sick of each other.
i hope your Easter was wonderful! ours was lovely, although we missed Grandma & Grandpa. it will take some adjusting to not spend easter in St. george, but we didn't miss the exra traffic or time in the car. obviously, like everything else in life, there are trade offs.
my girlies are enjoying their sugar buzz, the house is a mess and there is great hope in the world.
happy spring.
nana -- my email address is my first and last name@yahoo.com
hope that helps :)

Springtime in Cottonwood Heights
I don't remember ever being so excited for Spring to actually arrive as I am this year. This weekend we actually got about 5 inches of snow. Most of it has melted again, but it looks like we are getting another storm tomorrow with possible snow. Utah and Spring work together in weird and mysterious ways.
St. Patrick's Day was fun at our house. We made pistachio pudding (gotta have a green treat) and watched Riverdance. So here is your trivia for the day. The shamrock is commonly associated with St. Patrick's Day because according to tradition, Patrick used the shamrock to teach the concept of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost as three separate beings with one purpose to the pagan Irish. Kind of cool huh?
On a more current topic, Gilli continually makes me giggle and teaches me at the same time. Yesterday was our Bishop's birthday and she made a "book" for him. She told this very elaborate story of how our family went to live with the Bishop (because our house burned down). Her invisible friends and cousins made an appearance and she bought the Bishop a tambourine and some new "Bishop shoes". The story was delightful and giggle worthy at several points, but then I started thinking about what a good Bishop we have that my five year old would want to live with their family, and the thing is, she knows that if we needed a place to go, the Bishop would be there for our family. Kind of amazing how intuitive kiddos are.
Madi is growing too fast, she has taken to taping rubber bracelets to her ears so she can wear hoop earrings and the makeup kit is playing a far too predominate role in her life right now. It makes me sad to see what a hurry she is in to grow up. She just won't listen when I tell her to slow down, either.
So, this is a crazy long post! Sorry, but there you go.
If you all want to e-mail birthdays to me, I will happily compile a master list and mail it to you via snail mail. I think I have everybody, but it would be good to double check. my email is just my whole name @ yahoo.com remember "el" NOT "le".
Love you all Family of mine!

sickness
I just wanted to tell David and his family I am surely glad they are over their sickness at thier house. But, did you have to send it to mine? We have been so sick here since Friday. I don't remember a time when I have stayed home for 2 days in a row! But I still don't have the slightest desire to go anywhere! My hair is a statement of how terrible I feel, it is standing on end and I don't even have the energy to get it wet to make it lay down flat. Oh well, this too shall pass right. I just hope it passes quickly. Love you all. Jana

Email Change
Hey Guys
Our email has changed to jendave6@q.com
We'll send out an email as well.
Out of curiosity, is anyone watching American Idol this year? If so, what do you think so far?

Hello
Its fun to hear how everyone is doing. Happy belated birthday to all the birthdays I've missed. I am determined to do better. You guys remember our birthdays so well, its time I followed suit. However, to do so I need to know when the birthdays are and I seem to have misplaced that info. So, will you all send me the birthdays for you and yours please?
We're doing well here. Finally getting over sickness in our house. The kids are enjoying Home School for the most part. The kids learned the bones in the body a couple of weeks ago. When I was wrestling with Jesse, he got bumped in the jaw and he said, " Oh my zygomatic bone." Jennah is enjoying it, though she struggles sometimes with the little ones.
Eryn is hitting the toddler stage with tremendous enthusiasm. Several days ago when I got home from work, Jennah told me that Eryn had hit every cupboard in the kitchen before 9:00 in the morning. She's busy to say the least. Her latest gig is to empty dresser drawers. On Monday, when I got home from work, I went upstairs and was greeted by a pile of clothes stretching from Kylee and Paige's room to Brielles room. Oh, and Eryn is quite proud of her mess making ability too.
We love you guys.
