4 years...


Four years ago I married the man of my dreams Kyle Zachariah Kelley! Kyle and I met a few months after I graduated high school and after he got home from his mission in 2003. Ever since then Kyle and I have pretty much been inseparable. It has been the best four years ever being married to Kyle! He is my best friend! He is the best husband and father I could have ever asked for! I'm so excited to be married to him and be able to spend eternity with him! I love you Kyle Zachariah Kelley more and more everyday!

Eric Reports!

My younger brother reported to the MTC (mission training center) on May 13, 2009 just a couple hours after I had Abbigail. It was awesome that Eric was able to meet Abbigail before he had to leave for two years. I'm so proud of my brother and the decision he has made to serve a two year mission for our church! He will be serving the people of Iceland. I love Eric and miss him tons! I'm am just so proud of him.

WELCOME BABY!!!!

I never thought the day was ever going to come! The doctor kept telling me that she could come at anytime but I guess she just wasn't ready to come. I went in for my doctors appointment right before my due date May 11th and he said that the due date might have been wrong and that it might actually be May 19th... I was so upset that day! All I have been wanting is for her to come! I was given the option to induce but after Kyle and I talked about it we decided to let her come when she felt like coming... Well May 11th came and went and she was still not here. I then woke up on the morning of May 12 and something just felt different. All of a sudden around 9:30ish I started to have contractions every 3 to 5 minutes apart. Kyle wanted me to wait it out so we wouldn't be sitting in the hospital all day waiting. Around 4:30ish Kyle decided that we should go take a walk around the block to make the contractions come. As we were walking we were timing the contractions and they were still 3 minutes apart so we called the doctors and they said to have me check into the hospital so we got all packed up and left for the hospital. Of course Kyle wanted to delay a little longer so it would give my contractions a little more time to progress. We got to the hospital around 5:30ish and checked in. They hooked me up checked me and I was currently at 3 cm. The nurse said that they would give me an hour and if nothing happened I was going to be sent home. I did not like that idea so about an hour later they checked me again and I was now at 5 cm. The nurse then reassured to Kyle and I that we were in fact having our baby! They came back an hour later and I was now 7 cm. At this point I was hooked up to the epidural and was sitting pretty. My family came by to visit before taking Eric my brother to his last dinner before entering the MTC in the morning. They ended up leaving after visiting for about 20 minutes and the nurse came in and said that if I wanted my family to stick around the baby would be here within 30 minutes. They had the on call doctor come in since my doctor was in Salt Lake and could not make it in time. After 3 pushes Abbigail Ann was here!

Kyle's fishing trips

A few weeks ago Kyle came up with the idea that he had to get in as much fishing as he could before I have the baby. We went three times before Abbigail decided to come! He went twice to Rockport. Once with his dad and Allison and the second time with Allison and I. The third time he went fishing he went with Travis Raymond down to Scofield.
The second trip to Rockport Allison was killing us with the fish that she was catching it was AWESOME!
Had to show that I in fact did go fishing one week before my due date!

Swimming to my Eric

Allison loves her Uncle Eric. Eric has been talking to her about how he's leaving to go on his mission and that he is going to be going very far away to Iceland! I'm not too sure where she came up with the idea but she all of a sudden started talking about how she wanted to swim to her Uncle Eric on his Island. For days Allison would only want to wear her swim suit around because she wanted to swim to her uncle Eric on his island!

Robert and Jan's Tradition

When I was growing up the Ellsworth family always had the tradition of doing a big family Easter Egg hunt for everyone. Well this year my Aunt Jan and Uncle Robert had everyone living in Utah come to their home for a family Easter Egg hunt and dinner. They had a little kids Easter hunt on one side of the yard and then on the other side of the yard was for the adults. It was tons of fun! Thank you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TODD!!!!!

Kyle and this band...

Recently Kyle has been playing in this band called "Like Colors." They have been playing a few shows lately but this has been their best show yet... They played for the opening of this cafe here in Provo. They had a pretty good turn out and Kyle did amazing! I just love watching Kyle play! I wish he would play more shows!
