Easter Dinner

By Easter dinner my family who was visiting had left and Kyle and I made our very first holiday dinner. Here are a few pictures of our creations!

Easter Egg Hunt!

Easter Morning Allison woke everyone up (my family was in town) to she could go find all the Easter eggs that the Easter bunny hid throughout the main part of the house.

STILL HERE...

We are still here... I have a lot of blogging that I need to do but I usually like to post pictures with my blogs so as soon as I have a moment I will start posting more! Here's just a short update... Kyle is doing well staying busy with work and doing a few last minute fishing trips before baby comes... I'm still pregnant! My due date is May 11th but they are now saying that it might actually be May 19th so who knows... They say this just because of her size. She's on the smaller side so they are now saying a later due date... Either way I'm ready! I can't wait for her to come! Allison is doing great! She is as busy as ever and can't wait until baby sister comes! Allison loves playing she loves the park and she loves her friends. She prays for them everyday and always asks if they can come over! Update complete!

NOT PART OF THE PLAN!!!

It all started at 1:30 PM on March 6th:
I just finished signing a contract with this couple when all of a sudden I had this horrible pain throughout my tummy. Kyle had me lie down and relax but it just hurt so bad. He kept asking me what I wanted to do and so I told him I was going to go lie down in bed and try to sleep it off. I went to bed and just ended up tossing and turning all that afternoon and into the night. Saturday morning Kyle woke up asked me how I was feeling told him it still hurt! He again asked me what I wanted to do and I said I don't know it just really hurts! Well he called my brother Dale over to watch Allison while he went to work (he had to show clients through some houses) While Kyle was gone the pains started going to my back so I ended up calling my mom who of course told me to go to the ER. Dale came up and looked at me and ended up calling Eric my other brother to come over to help watch Allison. Then ended up calling Kyle to let him know that I looked like I was in a ton of pain and wanted to know what he wanted him to do. Kyle told him to call our doctor. Dale did and got the on call doctor who told him not to chance anything and to take me into the ER. Eric showed up to watch Allison while Dale took me to the Emergency. I walked into the ER in which they took me straight up to the Labor and Delivery. They hooked me and the baby up to the monitors just to see if I was having contractions (which I was) and to monitor the babies heart! The nurses then decided to ask me 100 questions as well as take blood and other tests. They ended up calling my doctor to have him come and take a look at me. It just happened that my doctor was already at the hospital at that time helping with another patient. He came to see me started feeling my tummy to see where exactly the pain was then walked out to consult with other doctors and nurses. Five minutes later he came back and said I have everything set up for you. We are going to run a few tests... First you will have an ultrasound to see if they can find anything if they can't find it then you will undergo an MRI. Then he introduced me to a Doctor Cook who was a surgeon and he would be taking over. I went had the ultrasound done then was taken back to my room to wait for the results... Nothing... As they were getting ready to take me down for the MRI Kyle shows up at the hospital and takes over for Dale. They put me in the awful MRI machine and scanned.... They found the issue!!!! It was my appendix! The surgeon met up with me after the MRI and talked with Kyle and I and explained that I HAD to have my appendix removed! They then explained how this would or if it would effect the pregnancy... A few minutes later I was lying in the surgical waiting room. After saying my goodbyes to Kyle they wheeled me in to surgery! They gave me some stuff to knock me out and a few minutes later (which was actually 2 hours later) I was waking up in the recovery room! A few minutes later I was back up in my Labor and Delivery room where Kyle had been waiting for me! That was Saturday March 7th.... Sunday March 8th was just a whole lot of lying down in the hospital bed being bored to death!!! Monday March 9th they finally got me up and moving... Then released me by the afternoon! I WAS SO GLAD TO BE GOING HOME!!!! I hate those hospital beds!!! Here are some awful pictures that Kyle took of me while in the hospital!

This picture was taken Sunday sometime!

Just to give an update! Baby is doing well so I have been told! I'm doing good just sore... I'm not allowed to lift anything over 15 lbs. And I'm suppose to keep it easy for the next 3 weeks! I will know more on Wednesday after my doctors appointment! Thank you to everyone who stopped by to visit me at the hospital! It was awesome to see friends and family! I also want to thank my mom who flew up to help me around and spend time with Allison!
Thank you!!!!!!!!

GIRL DAY!!!

One weekend we decided we were going to have a girls day and go out and get our hair done with my friend/cousin Kristie. My other cousin Nicole was the one who ended up cutting/color our hair and it looks great! I love it. I had Allison's hair cut and it turned out super cute! Super easy to do and really easy to manage! I ended up getting blond highlights and getting some layers! Kristie is the one who ended up with the most change with some highlights put in as well as chopping off her hair so she could donate it! It was super awesome! I was able to cut her hair off! Thanks Kristie for not killing me! I really love your hair! Thanks Nicole for taking your day off to do our hair! We really do love it! Here are some pictures of Allison and I with our new looks...

Allison and her teddy bear that she ended up getting that day! We seriously could not separate Allison from this teddy bear for DAYS!!!!!! She even requested to dress her bear for Sunday so they could match!

The Call Is In...

My brother Eric received his mission call to the Copenhagen Denmark! He will actually be serving the majority if not all of his mission in Iceland. He will be speaking Icelandic! Eric has been so excited about his call that he has already started learning a bit of Icelandic. He actually went the BYU and met with the Icelandic professor. He now attends his classes! He will be reporting to the MTC on May 13, 2009! We are extremely excited for him!

I LOVE YOU DAY!!!

Happy Valentines Day!

Valentines day at the Kelley home is very relaxed. Kyle and I have come to the conclusion that we love each other everyday and so we don't need one day to celebrate our love so we really don't do anything different or special for Valentines day. The day was pretty much just Allison and I at home doing fun activities while Daddy was out showing clients some homes!

Grandma and Grandpa Ellsworth's Valentines Day card to Allison!
Allison was so excited because she says she got "$100 dollars from Grandma and Grandpa"

Kyle and I got Allison some princess chocolates for Valentines Day.

Sweethearts....

Later that day after getting Allison all cleaned up we decided it would be fun to make Valentines Day cupcakes!

Allison had fun cracking all the eggs and mixing everything together!

While the cupcakes were in the oven Allison thought it would be fun to do so water painting!

During her water painting activity Daddy came home and brought Allison a package from Grandma and Grandpa Kelley.

We were really shocked to see that Grandma and Grandpa would send Allison an Olympus camera! Only to find when she opened up the box a princess crown, jelly beans and card.

Allison LOVED the crown! She even thought it was cooler once she found out that the top lit up!

After the present and the water painting activity and the clay activity Allison found her finger paints! I tried to hide them the best I could but she found them and couldn't wait to try them out!

So we made sure to change outfits (3rd one of the day) so that she could get paint on her and no ruin any of her good clothing...

Surprisingly she was very clean with her finger paints unlike last time she finger painted.

Our finished product with our cupcakes!

Later that night we had a small family dinner. After dinner my cousin Nick came over to hang out and we just watched the NBA all star dunk thing and ate our cupcakes! It was a very fun and relaxing day!

I am very grateful and very blessed to have Kyle as my husband and father to my children! I love him with all my heart and am so excited that I get to spend eternity with him! I don't need one day to celebrate our love. We celebrate our love everyday by just doing the little things to show each other that we care for one another and love each other. I love you Kyle Kelley!

Happy Valentines Day!
