On June 24, 1986, Mom Mom
flew into Salt Lake to attend a Computer Conference hosted by Wycat
Systems. You see, the Jarrell Company had bought a new computer system
and she had come to attend the conference that her favorite son was speaking at
to learn more about her computer. The Conference was held up at Park City
and she stayed up there with Dad. After only her second night there, she
called me invited me to bring Ricky, Tatia and Charlie up to Park City to stay
over there too. Our 4th baby was already a week over due and I
was sure I was going to be pregnant forever. I was excited to head to
cooler ground in Park City. Mom Mom also invited my parents and Lani to
come up on Thursday night too. We had such a fun time swimming in the
pool and hot tubing. Little did I know, that was not recommended for
pregnant ladies. OOPS, it was most helpful in triggering labor to come
and hence our little Pierce Jackson Thiot to come. I went into labor during
the night on Thursday and Mom Mom drove me home down the canyon and
then right to the hospital. Dad followed in his car and Mom Mom loved
watching the 3 Big Kids while we went to have baby. Dr. Tanner was
planning on leaving at 3:00 to take his sons on the Fathers and Son’s outing so
he turned up the Pitocin and we had a baby in time for him to go. WAY TO
GO PIERCE! What a wonderful 30 years it has been having you in our family! I hope you have a Terrific Thirtieth Birthday! SLY mom

Penny: His beard! Max: His beard! Tatia: I loved that our time at BYU overlapped.
Whenever he'd see me on campus, he'd literally run up to me and lift me up and
give me a big hug and twirl me around yelling at the top of his lungs, “This is
my Sister!” This usually resulted in me being slightly embarrassed, which might
be what he was going for. :) Pierce has exuberance for life that is contagious.
He is a kind, loving and wonderful brother. I couldn't be more proud to call
him my brother. Love you, Peaches! Jake: Both of my initial thoughts are
fun ones. My first memory that I recall is from when Skyler opened his mission
call. After he opened his call, Pierce and friends gave Skyler a celebratory
spray with sparkling cider. I just thought this is going to be a fun bunch of
brothers! My favorite thought though is of going to the movies with the Thiot
boys and sitting by Pierce. He inherited the fun trait of laughing out loud and
having a public fun time at the movies. It is much more fun watching Pixar with
the Pierce. Ricky &
Becky: Pierce has a great smile and a contagious laugh. He is fun to be around and is a great dad to
two great children who we also love. Skyler:
One of my favorite memories is sitting in Pierce’s room playing Goldeneye on
the N64 and listening to Tupac and Outcast.
He was a Senior when I was a Freshman, but it was just such a good
time. Kara: Pierce and Stacy came to the
temple before our wedding day and Pierce was amazing in helping us get great
wedding pictures. Mom: Pierce when you were born it was such a
happy happy time in our family. The
night you were born, Dad took the big 3 to Provo for a wedding reception for
our cousin Lisa. Mom Mom came to the
Alta View Hospital and spent the evening with me. Guess what?
She held you all evening She couldn’t get enough of you and I totally
understand that feeling after holding your sweet Jackson. Mom Mom was crazy about you for sure. When you started to talk and I would
tuck you into bed at night, you would
say, I love you Mom and I would say I love you more Pierce and you would say, I
love you the mostest! You’ve always been
a wonderful part of our family and we are so blessed to have you in it. It’s interesting that when Charlie was born,
he was going to be named Pierce, but when I looked in his eyes, I knew he was
Charlie and not Pierce. You are surely
The Pierce and I love you!!!!
Happy 30th Birthday
Pierce! We all think you are Amazing!
SURE LOVE YOU!
