About Me

We just bought our first house in April in Canby. Its very small - 900 sq. ft. but we love owning our own home. It is a 2 bedroom (all though the second bedroom you could use as a closet) and 1 bath. We have a huge back yard, which our dogs Kyla and Jake love. Hopefully next summer we can do an addition to our house. Thankfully Travis is in the construction business. Grace was born June 6th 2007 and we couldn't be prouder parents. She just amazes us every day. Travis works for Keith Richardson builders, and loves his job. He is amazing at it. Its a small crew, Keith - the owner, and a co-worker Tim. They work locally most of the time, which is great for commuting for him. Ashley just started working for Chris Stutes (his son is the wonderful picture for OSU) as a sales assistant - I work in the stock market. I absolutly love my job, and love being in town. My commute with dropping Grace off consist's of about 10 minutes. Travis and I are fortunate enough that Grandma Mary for the time being is able to watch her during the day! It means the world to us that family can watch her, and we don't have to send her to daycare.

Well, Grace is now 4 months old - man how the time flies! She is such a bundle of joy to us! She is laughing now, rolling over from front to back and back to front! Before we know it, she will be crawling! She just had her 4 month check up and she is 13 pounds 9 ounces and 25 1/4 in long - before I know it, she will be the inseam of my pants (29.5) LOL. She is such a happy baby, she lets us take her everywhere we go, since our lives don't seem to slow down, and rarely puts up a fus. She is still sleeping through the night, although we had a couple of weeks we were waking up a few times during the night. She is starting to get her first tooth although one has not broke through yet - she is cheewing on everything. I hope everyone is getting ready for the holidays, and our's has been changed forever! :o)

Grace's first month







Grace Jane Colvin was born June 6th, 2007 at 2:40 pm. She was 8 pounds 2 ounces. Ashley was induced after being a week late on her due date. ( I was more than ready to not be pregnant). Labor was a total of 6 hours from the time they broke my water to delivery. For labor, I cant complain to much. God bless pain meds. :o)


We can't believe how much she changes everyday. She was smiling on cue by 3 weeks, and loves to play bouncy (she likes to jump) :o)
Travis and I couldn't be more proud parents of our little pumpkin. She truly is a blessing to our household. She started sleeping about 5 -6 hours a night around 3 -4 weeks. I think she knew mommy needed her sleep since Daddy has no problem sleeping through her cry. :o)

Daddy's famouse position - usually they are asleep together though.









Proud great grandparents. She just loves them!
