More Fun Home Pictures

Here are some more pictures of our home that is now FOR SALE!
I love this part...our bedroom. She made a plain old bedroom into a beautiful place that I love to be in.
Our kitchen wil nothing in the sink and on the counters. Crazy to think that I have to keep the house looking like this.

This is our kitchen. Who would have thought to put a lamp in the kitchen and a statue of an angel. But it feels great.

We removed dark brown paneling in our family room and put this wood up and it looks so beautiful.



Home Transformation

We are selling our home. With Ben's new job, he is now working at home. I think it will be great as soon as we find a home that has an actual office. Right now he is using our family room or our bedroom depending on the day. Very crazy and we are feeling even more squished.

We have been doing lots and lots of sprucing up on our home. We had a stager(interior decorator to help our home look better to potential buyers) come in and help us a lot. I promised my mom I would get the before and after pictures...so here they are.

The Janes Are Still Alive!

Hello everyone. We have not fallen off the face of the earth, but boy have we been busy with Ben's new job, Ben's 5 week training in Bothell, WA, deciding to sell the house, going to a family reunion, Ben and Matt going to boys scout camp, fixing the house up, looking at new homes, trying to decide where to move to, and celebrating Ben and Daniel's birthday. Can you see why we have been missing in action? I will get to all the details of these things at a later date(when things slow down a bit...hopefully), but for now I will share with you a picture of cute Daniel and a video clip made by Katelynn. Hope you are all well and happy.Here is the new "Alfalfa"(from the Little Rascals)

Daniel's movie

Matt bought a cap gun and let Daniel try it. Funny boy!

Mother's Day 2008

For the past few Mother's Days, Ben has made crepes for breakfast. But not just any crepes...they have strawberries and ice cream and whip cream. They are delicious. He did it again and it was so yummy. The kids shared their gifts with me and I was touched by their cuteness. After dinner we decided to use a gift we got for our anniversary...a chocolate fountain. Unfortunately, I did not eat much because I had already been showered with chocolate at church. And I knew I would be really sick if I indulged. But the rest of the family enjoyed and here is the proof.

Ice Skating Night!!

Allison and Matthew in their ice skates.


Eastern Washington University just had their grand opening of the University Recreation Center. The building is huge. There is an ice skating rink, indoor climbing wall, basketball courts, running track, a large kitchen, and excercise areas. All the activites for were free for this grand opening. We decided to take the kids and go ice skating last night. Unfortunately, they didn't have skates small enough for Daniel, so he had to stay on the sidelines with Dad. He did not like it at all. Matt, Allie and I skated. I was fun. This was Allie and Matt's first time on ice skates. Matt was amazing. He was skating circles around Allie and I. Allie did finish the night with a skate by herself all the way around the rink.



Katelynn missed the skating. She was practicing her hip hop dancing routine. She is performing at our cities mayfest this weekend. Hopefully I will get pictures and video's for you.

Spirit Week Pictures




I got back from Utah - for Women's Conference - and now have pictures of Katelynn to post to finish out the spirit week for her. Apparently, on Thursday her outfit wasn't all that great (that's what she said), so no one took a picture. But Friday was CRAZY DAY!! I think she took more time picking out the crazy accessories that didn't match than the outfit. Her eye shadow is even different colors. Cute girl!!!
