EASTER!

 We were lucky enough to have Emma and Hunter with us for Easter this year. We haven't spent Easter with Emma since she was in high school. They needed to come down and do bridals so it all worked out that it was a holiday weekend. They got in Saturday night just as the Jensen Easter get together was ending so we picked them up at the airport and gave them our car and they raced off to the Mesa Temple Pageant. Sunday morning we woke up and ate breakfast, went to Sacrament, waited for the rain to stop so the Easter bunny could hide the eggs, they all raced over the yard to find all the eggs! This year we hid $260 worth out in the yard. The boys found the golden eggs (even though I hinted to them where they would be) and everyone else raced throughout the yard! Then Grandpa and Grandma Jensen came over and we smoked a turkey, had dinner, ate on our Grandma Joyce's dishes, made homemade ice cream and then all the boys played Nintendo while Emma picked out her wedding music. Monday morning she got her nails and toes done, they went to their Frost taste testing and picked out the flavors for their wedding and then we went and took all their bridal pictures! She looked BEAUTIFUL!! Tuesday they flew home and life continued on as normal! We love it when they come and the boys really love Hunter! I am always so grateful to have all my kiddos at home with me under the same roof!! Grateful for our Savior who died for us and Grateful for this time of year to reflect on his resurrection.

STAKE SOFTBALL!

 We had our Stake Softball Tournament! It was hot, but the boys had fun, a couple of the games Eli was able to rope some ALA baseball players into joining our team! We only won the first and last game, but no one cares about the middle anyways! 

ALAQC VS POSTON BUTTE!

 Eli pitched a phenomenal game against Poston Butte! he pitched the first 4 innings and could have gone more, but his coach was trying to let other people get in the game. He only allowed 2 hits, 1 run and had 9 strikeouts! 

BASKETBALL BANQUET!

 The twins had their basketball banquet. It was fun to be back together with their old teammates! We LOVED them! Me and Kati did the decorations and made the video. It was weird they didn't hand out any awards...and weird but also not weird that Coach Pippert just made each boy tell what they learned this year and didn't say anything nice about them like the other teams coaches did....but he did say that they were not a talented team but that they came together as a team. He's something else! All we could do was laugh! Great Freshman season boys!! 

TYSON THE TWERP!

 Tyson the little twerp monkey.....had some friends over and told Tyler he couldn't make a difficult basket and if Tyler did then he had to do a dare....so they dared him to jump the wall and go jump in our neighbor's pool. So he did! Then they came in and told us about it. Sadly, we had to get angry and send friends home and then text the neighbor at 10:45pm and apologize for what he had done. Our neighbors thank heavens found it hilarious! They weren't even mad a little! Now Jared and I secretly found it hilarious!! Jared even admitted he totally would have done the same thing....but if we tell him them how funny they are they will push it even more....so we had to be mad on the outside and laugh on the inside! Life with boys for sure keeps us on our toes!! Thank heavens for innocent fun! Twerps! 

ELI'S WEEKEND WITH EMMA!

 Jared and I thought it would be good to send Eli up to Utah for a weekend with Emma and to go to a UVU baseball game before Emma graduates and we can take advantage of the free tickets! Eli won his game against ALAGN and then raced home to shower and head to the airport! It was his first solo flight and we got to teach him how to read a plane ticket and how to find your gate, seat, etc. They got in late and went to Ashley's to sleep and then got up in the morning and went to Waffle Love together, picked up Peter and went to the baseball game, bought a shirt, returned Peter, went to lunch at Holy Taco, toured UVU, worked out at UVU, went to Pizza Pie Cafe, hung out at Ashley's for a bit, went to the Nickel Arcade, went back home, his flight was delayed 8 hours and then he was back home with us! It was a super short trip, but a good one! We got lots of texts from both of them, they both were having the best time, Eli followed Emma into the girls locker room because he wasn't paying attention, he won a switchblade comb and flicked it up, combed his hair, gave the camera a smoldering look and put it away - he's funny! Every time he ordered food somewhere Jared knew exactly what plate was Eli's because it was exactly what he would order! My heart is so full that they got to have this time together to bond and make memories to last a lifetime!! 

TANNER'S MISSION CALL!

 It's been a lot of fun this last month going to several mission call openings and watch Eli get so excited about them! He says he for sure wants a lot of people there when he does his! Tanner got called to Spain and it was great to see how excited everyone was for him! It's crazy that now we are watching his friends get their calls! One more year to go then we will be doing the same thing! I am not ready for that....
