Hi swroche1,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are using iMessage on both your iPhone and iPad but are having trouble receiving messages from your phone number on one and from your email address on the other. In this situation, I would suggest reading over the Use iMessage and FaceTime with multiple devices section in the attached article to help you get this resolved.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
Best regards,
Joe
