10 Months old already!!

Jackson turned 10 months old on saturday... Crazy, He is the busiest baby ever, On Wed he took his first step, then did it again later that night and today he is brave enough to go for two steps in a row....He did not stay our little baby for very long..
Jackson is so adventurous, he loves his independence, he crawls(but soon it will be runs) around the house to see what he can find, yesterday while I was cooking dinner he got into the cupboard to pull out all the pans, then before I knew it he had crawled all the way to the back of it... I wished I could have been fast enough to get a picture before he crawled back out, it was pretty cute.
Jackson now has 2 teeth on top and his bottome 2 comming in, He is so darn cute..He gets so excited about everything, he makes me smile all day long.
Kade is so excited for Christmas, He has been so cute, every day he says I have no idea what I am getting this year.. I can't wait to find out. He will be so excited and it makes me even more excited for it to get here.
Kirsha had her N.O.V.A graduation yesterday, for those of you that don't know what N.O.V.A is it is like the DARE program but they have added a few other things, it is a really good program they do for 5th graders.

Happy Birthday Matt and Kirsha

Today is Matt and Kirsha's Birthdays.. Kirsha turns 11 and My Cute Hubby turns 36..Here are my favorite 36 things I love about you Matt

1. Your eyes I love the way you look at me, especially when you are really happy.

2.Your Perfect smile

3.Your strong hands. I love to watch you work

4.Your arms especially when you hold me tight.

5.I can talk to you about ANYTHING

6.I love the way you play with the kids, You are the cutest dad. It has been so fun to watch you with Jackson

7.You are a hard worker, You never finish a job half way.

8.People can always turn to you for help, No matter what it is you jump at the chance to help.

9. I love that you get just as excited as I do to just snuggle on the couch and watch a movie. That is one of my favorite things to do with you.

10.You always put everyone else's needs above your own.

11.I love that you are a fix it man. It doesn't matter if it is a car, tiller, or christmas lights, you will figure out how to make them work.

12.You are always helping me with things around the house, laundry, dishes, it doesn't matter what it is. If you see it needs done you help get it that way so we can spend time togther. That means a lot to me.

13.Not many dads would be excited after already working all day to come home and take care of a baby so that their wife could go to work and not have to take kids to a babysitter. I love that you look forward to that time together and miss it when you don't get it.

14. I love and appreciate you math skills... You are always so patient to sit down and help Kaden with his math and help him to understand how to do it. That means the world to me, I can't understand his math let alone teach him how to do it.

15. I love your sense of humor

16.I love that you are always doing practical jokes, Blocking your number and calling my moms cell phone and Kades game's... Hello,, Hello. HMM no one is there.
Look that same blocked call is calling me again,, but no one is there... HEllO Hello. ( and you expect me not to laugh and blow your cover) or even when it breaks a window.

17.When I am having a bad day you can come home and wrap me up in a big hug and kiss me on the head and that quick everything is good again..There is magic in your love

18.You are a role model to everyone around you..

19. You try really hard with our crazy schedules to still make our date night happen. Even if it is tucking the kids in bed and we watch a movie and talk.

20.I love it when you get so excited about things and you clap you hands together, It makes me giggle inside everytime.

21. I have so many fun memories of just us when you would drive us off in the mountain and we would talk for hours.

22.One of my favorite dates with you was in the truck, You drove me to your secret spot you like to elk hunt. Holding my hand walking through the mountain to the water hole that you shot your cow at and she fell in. I felt pretty special that you hadn't ever taken any one there before.

23.Green Canyon...Green canyon... Green canyon

24. Mt. Pisque

25. Logan Canyon, remember driving on that bumpy dirt road and it bounced the mirror off the Jimmy. :-)

26. I love christmas shopping with you, It is always fun to watch you get so excited to give other people their presents and try to find the perfect gifts for the kids. I think you are just as excited to watch them open their presents as they are.

27. You would do anything for our families.

28. You always make our Anniversaries special, I will always remember every one!!

29.You are very supportive, you don't complain about giving up your saturdays to go to football or baseball games.

30.I love that you teach the Kids to be respectful of the things they have. You are a good example of that so It is easy for them to follow in your foot step. It makes me smile to watch Kaden after he mowes the lawn spray off the mower and put it back in the shed.

31. When Kade opens my door it melts my heart, because he has learned that from watching you!!

32.When you are at S.W.A.T training you still take the time to call and check up on me even though you are with the GUYS..I am sure you take flak for that but I always love to hear from you.

33.You take pride in the things you do, everyone that is involved in anything you do know that you do a good job.

34.You aren't afraid to try new things, You will figure out how to do it and get it done. I couldn't believe everything you did in the basement. Your skill always amazes me.

35. One of my favorite memories will always be on our Cruise, Sitting out on the deck all alone snuggled in the pool chair watching the stars.. That night was Perfect

36.And My number 1 thing about you is that I know with all my heart that you love me, you love our family and you would do anything in this world for me. I am so proud to be Mrs. Matthew Pearce.. I love you BABE Happy Birthday

Finding the Perfect Christmas Tree




Saturday we did the annual Hartman Christmas Tree Hunt... It was a lot of fun like always. This year we went to Idaho, The years past we have gone to Vernal but since Michael and his Family came up to Wellsville for Thanksgiving this year we decided to get trees here.
This is the first year that Brayden, Kirsha and Maddie were able to go, It was nice to have everyone there. I wish it would have not been so cold but we had a good time anyway. Jackson was a trooper Like always.. He is the best boy.

Here are some pictures of our tree.

And a few of it decorated, we did bubble breaad and watched a christmas movie on Sunday, Maddie Kept saying I AM SO EXCITED I CAN'T STAND IT... It was pretty cute.

Happy Turkey Day

We had a good Thanksgiving, Wed night we went over to Matts Mom and Dads house to see his Grandma and Grandpa Abbott. It was good to visit with them, We don't get to see our grand parents often enough.
On Fiday his Grandpa went on a ride along with him for a few hours, I think they both enjoyed it.

Thursday was Turkey day, We hung out at the house for the morning then decided to get ready and head over to my family's house for the pre turkey party.
I was doing the girls hair then I heard Ow @!$& That is going to need stitches..
Matt had blood gushing through his fingers but still asked me if we could tape his finger.. My sis came over and got the kids so I could take Matt to the ER, he needed 8 stitches. Thankfully he missed both tendons and barlely missed the nerve. He was really lucky, It could have been a lot worse.
