Tanner and Emilie Visit

Tanner and Emilie flew back from St George on Friday and spent the last of their spring break with us.  On Friday afternoon, we played volleyball at the stake center.  Friday night we had a fun family dinner of BBQ hamburgers and tater tots.  Saturday, we went to Jon's house and the 4 kids rode Jon's e-bikes around the neighborhood.  Saturday afternoon, we watched Gonzaga play basketball.  Saturday night, Katie had to work and Garret had a birthday party, so Kirt and I took Tanner and Emilie to dinner.  We went to Rancho Viejo.  Sunday, Tanner and Emilie came to church with us.  It was the first time that Tanner has been to our ward since before his mission because of Covid.  We had a fun family dinner.  Then Grammy and Cam and Jon's families came over for shakes (Pompa had to quarantine for his cardio version). They all got to meet Emilie.  Tanner and Emilie were telling us how their first date actually came about.  Tanner said that Emilie slid into his DMs.  Most of us grown ups had no idea what that meant so they had to explain to us that it meant that she sent him a message on Instagram.  Then we all laughed as Jon got to explain what "that's what she said" meant to Grammy because she didn't know what that meant either.  We all had some great laughs.  Tanner and Emilie had to go back to school Sunday night and we miss them already.

Everyone had to stand on their tippy toes. I threatened them that they would NOT do that in the wedding photos.

St Patrick's Bagpipes

Kurt came and played the bagpipes for us for St Patricks Day.  The rest of the group didn't come because of Covid, but it was still fun to hear him play.  It was fun to see Grandma and Courtney and Alex and her family.  We haven't seen them in a year because of Covid.

Tanner and Emilie Spring Break in St George

Tanner and Emilie went to St George for spring break.  It was actually just Tanner's spring break and Emilie played hookie.  They hung out with Emilie's family, did lots of wedding planning, played games, and went hiking.  Tanner didn't scare off Emilie's family so the wedding is still on.
They flew into Vegas and met Emilie's family there.  They were flying in from Florida.


Wedding dress shopping!

Katie's 17th Birthday Party

Katie finally had a birthday party only almost a month after her birthday. Her friends came over for pizza and brownies and ice cream. They painted and sat in the hot tub and watched a movie.
