Got Mail?

I love Christmas time because you get all the fun Christmas cards from family and friends and this year like most others we have also gotten packages from loved ones and Charlie LOVES it! We got singing cards from Mimi and Pappy with gift cards and both the boys loved them! I got it on video and it is darling so thanks so much Mimi and Pappy we love you!


The package we got today was from Grandma Barb and Uncle Jerry. The kids got darling stuffed animals and Charlie has not stopped hugging his new puppy. Nick is chewing on his new bear but that is how he shows affection so he LOVES it! Thanks Barb and Jerry we love you!

Decorating the Tree and Lights

We decorated the Christmas tree a couple weeks ago and then we got to go see the lights at Temple Square with Julie and Aaron. Charlie thought the waterfalls were the best part of the lights and was so excited that the nice lady let him pet the horse...it made his night! (Look closely at his face it is hysterical!) Nick wasn't really sure what to make of it all so he eventually just fell asleep:)

6 Months

Nick turned 6 months on the 10th and he got his sad little shots on the 14th. Charlie was so mad at the nurse for poking him and making him cry! He wrinkled his nose, put his hands on his hips and said, "Don't you hurt my baby Neeco!" He calls him Neeco not Nick...what a good big brother. Nick weighs 13 lbs. 5 oz. and is 26 in. long. He is crawling all over and loves to do dog piles with Charlie and Dad. Here are some pics of his CHUBBY thighs!

Pierce Family Pictures

Here are the latest family pictures from my side of the family.

Thanksgiving 2010

This year Jack and i headed to Cedar City for Thanksgiving. We went down on Sunday because he had his work Conf. in Las Vegas and we were leaving the kids with his Mom until Wed. Well the 4 hour drive down there ended up taking 9 LONG hours because of the horrible weather and there was a big accident. We sat on the highway in park for 3 hours!!! Yes with two small children who were actually great considering the circumstances. We did get out and go for a walk with the kids cause we all needed a break from the car and we got to admire all the cute snowmen people were building on the side of the rode to entertain their children. We finally got to Cedar, spent the night and left the kids that afternoon and headed to Vegas. Vegas was nice only because we got to see our dear friends Josh and Chelsey and my cousin Brooke and the rest of the trip....well it's Vegas there is not much else to say but that it will be swallowed up some day. Anywho we headed for Cedar on Wed. and spent the rest of the week with Jacks family and had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for my amazing husband and the most adorable boys in the entire world!!!


Nothing like a good ol' wrestling match after a big dinner...then a nap:)

Little Crawler!

Well at 4 1/2 months my little man decided he wanted to start crawling! He was just getting up and lunging forward now he goes all over the house...backwards:) He will roll all across the floor too it is so cute. Now we just needs to work on going forward. I can't believe how soon he started! Here are some pictures.

Charlie's Latest....

He dumped an entire bottle of juice on his new white shirt...had to wash it with Spray and Wash 3 times before it all came out. Emptied the entire contents of the meat and cheese drawer into the garbage can. Made a "Choo Choo Train" out of all the condiments in my fridge on the kitchen floor. And feels the need to strip down to his birthday suit at least 2-3 times a day. Last night I went to check on him before I went to bed and he was sound asleep...butt naked! I ran and got Jack cause it was just too funny! It could have been a real mess though so I am super glad I checked on him. Any advice on what to do with this adorable child is welcome:)

"Mommy make a MESS!"

This is a phrase I have learned to fear! Charlie is getting into all kinds of things lately and he is very honest when he makes a "mess". I will leave him watching a movie or playing with toys to go get something done and a few min. later he is coming to me, "Mommy make a mess!" I tell him to show me and he guides me to his latest disaster. I will share a few examples....about a month ago he came to me covered in silver marker. He had found a silver sharpie and colored his entire body, the couch, the wall in the basement, and his toy box. Luckily it all came out and the marker went in the garbage. A few weeks ago...and this was totally my fault...he took a small cup of nutella chocolate and covered himself in it including the bottoms of his feet and walked all over the couch, covering it with tiny brown footprints.

A couple days ago he found a brand new bag of fish crackers and dumped the entire thing all over the kitchen table and floor then proceeded to stomp on all of them. Here he is in time out for that one.



Then the cherry on top was Grandma Lucy's house on Saturday. We went down for family pictures and an early Thanksgiving dinner with Uncle Craig and he locked himself in her bathroom, shoved two towels in the toilet, and tried to flush them. The whole bathroom flooded so bad the water was GUSHING through the floor into the basement! What am I going to do with this child?!!! It's a good thing he is so cute! Pray that I can go at least a week without hearing the phrase "Mommy make a mess!"

Happy Halloween

This year Charlie was Nacho Libre because it is sadly his favorite movie right now. It is really funny to hear him ask for Nachooooo! Little Nick was in his little Halloween outfit and we went to the ward Trunk-or-Treat. Sadly to say it was a little disappointing...we went through $18.00 worth of candy in half an hour and that was it...LAME. Oh well, Charlie thought it was cool to go with his friends and get candy from people and that's all that matters:)





Charlie's friends, Big Isaac, Dallon, Little Isaac, Alyssa, and Sadie.

4 Months

This adorable little guy is 4 months already! I have not taken him to the doctor yet so I don't know the stats but he is scooting backwards, eating rice cerial, rolling over, laughing, has been sleeping through the night for 2 months, and has the sweetest smile in the world! He is such a joy in our lives we love ya little man!

Our garden

I thought I would do a post about our garden we had this year. It did so well and we made lots of yummy food with all our veggies. Our favorite though was the salsa...we grew everything you would need it was perfect. Enjoy the pics.

New Hair Cut!

Well when Nicks hair was falling into his eyes we decided it was time for another hair cut...yes only three months old and ready for hair cut number two. My Mom did a great job with him and I just have to show off my little man. We cut over two inches off...I was kinda sad to cut off all the sweet hair but he does look better:) here are the before and after.
