Books

Lately I have been obsessed with reading! I LOVE it and can't get enough of it. This is really weird for me to be saying considering that i've always hated reading since I can remember. I am a really s-l-o-w reader and I would dred in high school, church, family reading, being called to read outloud. I would say the same word like 5 times and nothing flowed, it would take me twice as long to read then anyone else it seemed. You may think who cares it's just reading it's not a big deal but to me I have always struggled with being confident in this area. I borrowed a book from my sister a couple weeks ago and took it with me everywhere I went. I got sooo into it and I felt so uplifting and strengthened by it. I finished it in just a couple days and have read more books since. Now I am reading a new book that I can't put down. Me and Log went on a walk, and I brought my book with me. People were looking at me really weird, and our neighbor drove by and asked what I was doing, but I can't help it, I found something I love!! It was so nice outside that after our walk Log got two chairs out for both of us and put them right in front of our house with a glass of apple juice. He sat next to me while I read to him. He has no idea what's going on in the book but he sat there acting interested. Have I mentioned I LOVE this man!!! I am becoming more confident in reading and loving every minute of it.

Since we got married I thought it would look so cute if we paiting this 80s book shelf we got black and antiqued it to make it look more up to date. But other things came first, so since my sister Laree redid her entire family room and kitchen all on her own I decided okay I am FINALLY going to do the book shelf. My sweet husband got all the stuff we needed for it that ended up being far more expensive than we had planned but he still did it knowing how much I wanted it and while I was at work on Saturday, Him and my Dad went to town and did it ALL... They are A M A Z I N G! When I came home it was all done and ready for me to decorate. I absolutely love it and can and have stared at it forever. This is the before and after pictures.

Macaroni & Tomatoes

I know this seems like a really weird meal but in Logs family it's a common one. They had this all the time for their meals when they were little, and still to this day. It consists of Macaroni noodles, tomato juice with some salt & pepper to add some flavor. When we were dating he would eat this all the time. I thought it was so weird, but I tried it and I fell in love, now all I ever crave is Macaroni & Tomatoes, and I am eating it as I type. :) Best EVER

P R I M A R Y

Nog is now in Primary with me! I am so excited to have him as my partner. I have alot to live up to with those kids now that Sister Nielson won't be my partner anymore. We all had a pool party a week ago at her house it was alot of fun. We went swimming played on the slip and slide, had Pizza and CapriSuns (my favorite). She is the most amazing teacher ever. So I have alot of work to do to keep up with her, but I think we can do it.... So happy to have Log with me!

Warrior princess

Yes, this is what I look like pretty much every night before we go to bed. I wash my wash and paint all these pretty white dots all over all my imperfections. Some times it's more than others but no matter what I always find something to cover up. When we first got married I would walk out of the bathroom and Logan would say WOW that's pretty. You look like a Warrior Princess and would try not to laugh everytime he'd look at me. Now when I walk out of the bathroom and he see's all the pretty designs I can make on my face he just smiles and calls me "his" Warrior Princess. I'm obviously not too ashamed I actually quite like being called that now from him. So from now on and probly for a REALLY long time I will be known as Nogs Warrior.

Pearce Family Reunion

This is the Pearce cabin.. It's a dream, I wanna live outside when i'm here and just be on the porch ALL day it's so nice outside and the view is awesome

We got to the cabin at 12am Friday night. In the morning we all got our matching shirts. I love them! I'm gunna wear mine all the time. In the morning after breakfast we played kick ball down by the barn.

Home Run

Pearce was wrestling Logan, I think Pearce won

Then we played this game, where you put an oreo on your forehead and have to get it into your mouth some how, this is Janee trying it. Pretty much no one could do it, it was really funny to watch tho

No One but Logan. He got it on his second try! And later he got a medal for it :)


Janee got blind folded and had to find all her kids and bring them back to a certain spot

We shot rubberbands at empty soda cans...

Log was SO cute helping Grace learn how to shoot a rubberband across the room.

When we were out side Grace was just hanging out with the dog, I love that girl

All the kids

hanging out on the swing out side

Game of Tug-a-war

Sunday morning after an amazing hour of church

and last but not least Family pictures

Before we left on Sunday Talmage and Kalicia took me to see this mansion!! We peaked inside all the windows and I couldn't believe all the stuff they had inside. It's on 26 accors of land, has a barn, a stable and horses. When I grow up I want a house just like this one :) I can dream

This horse Loved Kalicia

Forth of July camp out

Each year we have made it a tradition to go camping for the forth of July! I look forward to this trip every year we have such a blast all hanging out together and being big dorks. But not all the family was there :( and we REALLY missed you guys!!

-

This year the weather was great nice and windy, pretty sure we all ate a pound of dirt, but it was definitely worth it!

-

Since im married now I missed out on Dads amazing breakfasts. I kept looking over there wishing I could eat his food instead but me and Log made it through. Our food

wasn't too shabby...

-

Brian and Pat brought us all chairs which was amazing. What usually happens is we bring about half the amount of chairs we need then we either have no seats or we all pile up on everyones lap. They also brought Brad and Nick (the kids Pat babysits) they are so flippin cute! Brad was singing the ABC's all day long haha seriously! I could sit there forever listening to him sing it,

and I did. It was soooo fun having those boys there!!

-

We were so glad LoLo and Justi could be there too with us. They are amazing and I LOVED

every minute with them!

-

Log did his fire knife dancing which I absolutely LOVE of course. He takes his shirt off and all haha it's pretty great!! It was the first time the family got to see it and he did such a good job!!

-

Before and after the family reunion we went up to Log's family cabin so Log could do a couple

plumbing jobs. The cabin is so awesome, so much fun, the family came after and we all hung out there for a little bit before going home.

-

Brian tried on Oakies Skirt it was really PRETTY on him.. We can't decide who it looks best on

it's debatable

-

The Parade this year was fun but bad news.... NO WATER!! We were all bummed out about that

but Trent had his way of making us all laugh by yelling at the people telling them to honk

their horns and screaming stuff at them. We were all dying it was hilarious.

-

Dad brought his hermonica along and played some songs for us. He is DAIN good on that thing!

All the kids gathered around him and were listening. He's so cute!

-

Patti brought her entire nail kit and went to work :) She painted all our nails i got flags on mine..

They were the best, she even clipped Lauren REALLY LONG toe nails... sick!!! Thats true love right there
-

Dad has these shoes that we all made fun of him for. He says he got them at "Wilsons"

but we all think he got them fron Walgreens. Look at the logo... it's definitely from Walgreens!

-

Me and LO have matching anklets. Yes we are the biggest dorks ever. Well I am really,

I'm the one who got both of them and told her she better wear it all the time and so will I.

haha I got them from Peter Piper Pizza. It's our sister bond

-

Jay and the boys got our their shot guns each morning we ALL woke up with loud BANG

He was having the time of this life shooting those guns... Oh Boys

-

And this very LAST picture is of my hair. Log took a picture of it before I washed it. When I took it out of my pony tail it didn't move literally. It was extremely... dirty, greasy, hard, and crunchy. Log thought it was pretty gross. haha
