Blog background changes....:)

I really like the backgrounds I have had, but I recently realized that on different computers, with wider screens, you can see more than I see on my computer (not very wide). I pretty much just see the middle of the background.
.
So if you see more on the sides than just the red, let me know if you can still see the sidebar words or if I should change the color!

We just came home from Michigan where we celebrated Thanksgiving. It was so fun to be with Ryan and Maureen and to be with Jim and Vanessa also. All the kids had fun together and we stayed up way too late every night playing games and talking. We were able to go to the temple, out to Famous Dave's (if you haven't eaten there, you MUST), celebrate Tyler's birthday with everyone, and do a little Christmas shopping. David even went out with Ryan Friday morning to hit the sales! It was a great holiday vacation that was way too short!!! Thankyou to Ryan & Maureen for being perfect hosts and for making us feel so welcome and loved!

Happy beginning of Christmas celebrations!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Hope your holiday is filled with love, laughter and LOTS of
good food!

Love, Jana

Quirks

.
Umeka tagged me. I'm supposed to share 7 quirks that nobody knows about me. Some you might, if you were there...here goes!
.
1. I love to throw things away. It makes me feel good, getting rid of trash and things I don't use.
2. If I sleep in I get grumpy. If I sleep in and get woken up by someone, I am really grumpy. It's better if I get up on my own, earlier, and do my own thing.
3. I have a hard time wearing sunglasses. I start having an attitude problem, like I'm all that. EXCEPT for these great dollar store glasses that Kimmy got me and sent in the mail. They are large and in charge and I don't feel cool in them at all. I love it!
4. I'm a sucker for a series, books, movies, tv shows.
5. I love to dip vegetables, fruit, cookies, crackers, chips. I love it all and eat way too much in one sitting!
6. I'm a stasher. Of all things. I almost always remember where I put things, too. It drives my husband crazy, but it also makes me a good finder.
7. I love to teach. Relief society, Young Womens, Primary, Enrichment, visiting teaching, anything. I love to share things that can help other people and I learn so much along the way.

Now I'm supposed to tag 4 more people. Christi, Melanie, Martha and Jenni consider yourself tagged!!!

Time goes by so fast!

So I've been more busy at home. I'm nesting. :) We've been working on our food storage/ year supply, general keeping up with daily cleaning, and trying to get the ball rolling for baby prep!
.
We're moving the boys to the downstairs bedroom, but we have to get the window replaced with a more emergency escape friendly window. Then we can move beds, clothes, etc. We moved the bookshelf already, and I am waiting for Chuck to call me back and tell me when he can do the window. He's our fix-it guy. He usually bills our landlord when he's done fixing something, but this one is on us.
.
After the boys move downstairs, Davey will be out of the crib and we can get him adjusted to not having it for a while before we bring it out again in February.
.
I have also been rearranging our laundry area for more storage space, so I can move boxes out of the play room closet and put food storage in. So, I'll be cleaning and putting shelf paper in. Not to mention rearranging the toy organization in the playroom. Some of it is coming out of the closet. :)

We have decided to build a privacy fence! David and a man from our ward, who used to build fences, are going to execute this project, sometime soon. I am so excited!!!
.
So between those things and our normal activites, we've been pretty busy! I'll keep updating as much as I can. I'll get Halloween pictures tomorrow, but YW in Excellence is also tomorrow, so I'll probably post them on Thursday.
Love you all!!!

Stay up all night party!

This is one of the fun things we do when the kids get a day off of school. We bring all the blankets and pillows down to the playroom, and after scriptures and prayers, we let the boys stay up and watch movies and eat treats! Adam and Peter love getting Root beer and Squirt. Davey likes the M&M's. I manage the mess until they're done. Then I clean up and they just watch until they fall asleep (usually between 11 and midnight).
