Since we think she is so great we felt the need to share a small tribute of her life to the world, or at least the folks that frequent this site.

Look at those beautiful baby blues.
When Jana was little and you needed to find her, all you would have to do was listen for the sweet sound of her singing. It didn't matter if she was playing with dolls, making young quinnton play school with her, or doing her chores, (Which Sam says she mostly got out of because she was the only girl) she would always carry a merry tune.
Jana was fortunate enough to have three brothers to tease, annoy, poke, and in those important instances, look out for and protect her.
We aren't sure what the camera man said right before this picture was snapped, but we are pretty sure it was not "cheese." Whatever it was, it had a drastic, yet opposite effect on Jana and Quinn.
It may be hard for you to see Jana in this next picture because she is camouflaged, but if you look carefully for a cute seven month pregnant lady, wearing blue ear muffs, and firing off a black revolver you might be able to spot her.
So my first trip to Boise to meet Sam's family fell on the Labor Day weekend when Clyde was born. I had a lot of fun getting to know Jana very well as I sat in her hospital room with her for six hours while Sam left us to go play soccer with Quinn and Curtis.
Fortunatley for both of us, this picture was not taken during those six hours.
One thing I know for sure is that there are three boys who are very lucky to have Jana in their lives, and we are pretty happy about it too.
Happy Birthday Jana!!!! We love you and hope you have a wonderful day!!!
