TWINS JUNIOR PROM!

 One of my favorite things about STUGO is the fact that it forces Tyler to go to the school dances. I know he hates the asking and the build up to it, but then I know he has the best time! Word on the ALAQC street is that Tyler and Conner are the funnest dance dates!! Thank heavens for Misty for talking Tyler into going to Prom. He swears he will never go again - ha ha! One Saturday we spent the morning shopping for their suits - they hated it! So they took a break and played on their phones while we shopped for them - ha ha! Since Tyson and Lizzy broke up just before prom it was hard for Tyson to find a date because most girls had been asked already....luckily we came up with the best idea and it was Lainey Bell! They had the BEST time! Tyler had a lot of fun with Jozie too! Me, Emma and Della spent Saturday running around to all the boys prom pictures and enjoyed watching all the kiddos! After prom both groups ended up at KTR with the rest of the school!

EMMA AND DELLA COME FOR A VISIT!

 The timing was perfect! We booked Emma and Della tickets to come and visit us after they came for Jared's birthday and luckily it came right around the time Emma was living in her Thyroid Storm so it was really hard for her and Hunter. Hunter was overwhelmed with everything he was doing at home and asked if she could stay longer so of course we were THRILLED! We got them for 2 weeks! Della is the happiest girl ever!! Even with the worst ear infection!! She lived with that for a week before we took her to the dr. Emma rested as much as she could. She also went on some job interviews and took the Casteel Jr High Head Coach job! She joined us for the twins prom, the twins powder puff game, she visited Grandma and Grandpa Rodgers, she helped at Casteel Varsity cheer practice...she packed it in, but also got spoiled while she was here. Pop Pop and Honey miss our 11pm walks with Miss Della Doo, our time together spent outside while we watered the garden, pushed her in the swing, we gave her her Easter basket, etc. We love our 2 girls so much!!

EASTER!

 And there were 2! Luckily the Easter Bunny still came...and just to mix things up...I decided at the last minute that I would run and snag Easter Eggs for Eli and how ever many I got was his and we would transfer the money for him. He was able to facetime us during the egg hunt and he was shouting "mom are you even trying?!" "hurry up!" so that brought me some joy having him on facetime with us! Later that day we had both sets of Grandparents over for dinner and had ham, twice baked potatoes, salad, asparagus, rolls, deviled eggs and Nothing Bundt Cake for dessert! We love having our parents over for the holidays! (Sadly, no pictures with them, I always forget because we are so busy eating dinner). And Pop Pop hung up Della's swing!
