guess who got to celebrate easter with her family this year? since the fam shipped off to brasil (3 years ago) i haven't had an easter with them, so i was so excited to go home & spend the weekend!

 saturday was spent watching brian and my oldest brother play in a basketball tournament. the tournament was triple elimination, which literally made for an entire day of basketball. (so is my life) they played really well & ended up getting third. (i think?)

our little janey loves to walk, and brian has the patience to hold her hand and let her walk everywhere we go. i know, i know..he needs his own little babe..someday. :)

sunday we had the best feaster & and i loved going to my home ward. my sweet mom rocks at holidays and never disappoints. my parents send us all on a scavenger hunt to find our baskets. (you'd think we are all like 10) we drive through the neighborhood/ward following clue after clue until we find our easter baskets. this year was pretty funny because we actually passed the house and saw our baskets on the porch at clue #2. mal said, "well, there are our baskets......." but we decided to finish the rest of the clue's before we went back.

our friend aubs came home with us for the weekend & we loved having her!

clearly brian wasn't in the picture taking mood most of the weekend.

and how could i not add this picture of my sweet nieces in their easter dresses? we are OBSESSED with them! (in fact, they are usually the reason for our trips home)

A little ditty from the Mr.

So, in case you were wondering, I am not Macey. Mace has asked me a few time to write a blog post. And I wanted to. So, here we go. Buckle up. 

Now, I'm supposed to talk about Easter weekend, but probably I'm not gonna do that yet. Probably, I should put a little about me out there first. So, here it is:

I laugh so hard every time I see these pictures. And so should you.

The following are some of my favorite things:

Toaster Strudels. They need no explanation. 

The MTC Cafeteria. All you can eat food for super duper cheap. This picture was after two plates of chicken cordon bleu. So..... delicious...... Are you drooling? Cause I am. 

Ok, so here is Easter for you. We spent the weekend at my family's house in Sandy. It was pretty great. We had dinner Saturday night with our buddies. Which was also pretty great.

Then we went to Rio Tinto to watch the Real Salt Lake game. It was awesome. Soccer is my favorite game, (followed closely by basketball, don't hate on me too hard) so I was in heaven.

 After the game, we went back to the house to dye some eggs. That was pretty great. You guys should have seen the eggs I dyed. They were pretty bomb. I guess Macey's were ok too.... (and of course, that means they were way better.)

Sunday morning was pretty great too. We always start our Easter mornings with a jelly bean hunt. My mom and dad hide jelly beans all over the house, and we go after them. I thought I was doing pretty well, but it turns out I got rocked by everybody else. No pictures of that though.

Then we went to church. And we took these pictures. 

After church we, among other things, had an Easter egg hunt in the backyard. Once again, I thought I was dominating, and I got destroyed. Everybody had more eggs than me. I am an Easter failure. 

And that was our Easter weekend.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a brief intermission at this point? Because I have complete control over this blog post, I am putting some of my all time favorite pictures. Enjoy.

Wonderful.

Just a couple other things to mention. We went and saw Hunger Games for the second time in theaters this past week. Such a good movie. Here we are right before we walk in, each with our own bag of popcorn. 

Allie came in to town, and that was pretty fun. Please notice Stef in the back, trying to be part of the picture like a creeper. I love you anyway Stef. 

Thursday night, we went to our friend's Andrew and Steph's wedding reception with our best friend Rach. I lived with Andrew the semester before Mace and I got married. He's the man. After the reception, we hit the town and finished at Hires. Yum.

And that's it guys. Hope you enjoyed it. Who knows when the next time I'll be in charge of a post will be. Maybe next time I'll talk about school and work and all those wonderful things that I do day in and day out. Maybe.
