Happy Easter!

Well it seems like it has been awhile since I put up a new post. Tonight I have some extra time because Shaye is out of town until tomorrow. He had an interview at the hospital down in Cedar City today. I had to stay home for work and now I am just trying to get through the lonely night time hours so what better thing to do but blog:) 
This past weekend was a great one because we got to go down to Southern Utah and it is always great when we get to see family:) It was Easter weekend so we headed down to Kanab on Friday and planned to get there in time for Shaye to play in the alumni baseball tournament. Well we did get there in time and we found just another reason why we need to move back to a small town. On Tuesday we were down in Salt Lake. As we were leaving and literally getting on the freeway we were pulled over by a cop on a motorcycle. He pulled us over for going 10 miles over the speed limit and said he would give us a break and write it for 5 miles over, gee thanks:) So then on Friday as we are driving to Kanab we are going a little fast, you know like 20 miles over the speed limit, of course we pass a cop and he pulls us over. I'm thinking, great two tickets in one week! Then the officer comes to the window and it is a officer we know from Kanab. He says to us"Where are you going in such a hurry?!" Shaye tells him that we are just trying to get to the alumni baseball game. The police officer is like, oh yeah you got to get to that and asks us to just slow down a bit. Can you believe that?! And that is why we NEED to move!
Anyways we did get to the game and Shaye had a great time and his team even won!! It was a fun game to watch and Shaye even made the play to end the game. He made a double play with an out at second and a throw to 1st for a second out! Good job Shaye! 
Here's the proud winner after the game. I just realized he had already taken off his game shirt, they had Kanab Alumni shirts that were cool but he must have taken it off.

Then on Saturday morning the Easter festivities began. Shaye volunteered to take Trajen to the Easter egg hunt at the park. We had a great time and Traj was a pro egg hunter. He got so many eggs we had to stop him so that some of the other kids could have some eggs.
Shaye and Traj getting ready for the big hunt. This is serious business:)

After the morning hunt we headed over to Leeds for the annual Jackson Family Easter dinner and egg hunt. We of course had a great time and enjoyed visiting with all the family. Always the highlight is the big egg hunt. We got some good stuff in our eggs and came away with $23 and some candy:)
Here's Shaye playing some serious games of ping pong at Grandma Jackson's.
This is such a cute picture of Traj and Mikkel. Unfortunately I have been having some allergy problems with my eyes and my one eye looks a little droopy:( 
Here we are with my Dad and Mikkel coloring Easter eggs at my parents house. It was great fun had by all!:)
I thought this picture was so cute of Nate reading a story to little Traj, so sweet.
Here's the boys beating up on Dad. He's such a good sport to play around with them.
It's a bird, it's a plane.....it's Trajen!
Since it was Easter we had to get an Easter picture after church. When I was growing up we always got a new dress for Easter and we would take pictures after church. When we were really young are dresses usually all matched. This year I didn't get a new Easter dress so I just wore one of my sister Emily's so I could feel like it was new, thanks Em's:) So here is our Easter 2009 picture, plus I wanted a picture with the beautiful red cliffs of Kanab.
After church we also went out and did some kite flying on the golf course. Shaye and Nate were having a great time. Look closely you can see them in the distance.
It was a great Easter break, we loved every minute of it. Hopefully we hear this week if we got into any of the hospitals we've applied to. It would be nice to know so I can stop worrying about it!

I was glad to read what you are up to! Sounds like a fun Easter weekend. I wish I could have been in Kanab to join in the fun! Cute pictures. I feel bad that you are still having allergy problems, but I hate to say, it does bring back some fun memories!! Yes, we are in Cali right now. We just mostly wanted to take a vacation and decided we buy a car while down here to make an excuse for coming. We're having a great time! Talk to you soon. I want to hear as soon as you know about where you will be going!
