Family Home Evening 4-21-08

We learned about keeping the commandments and about Nephi and obtaining the plates. Shannon did a fantastic job with all of the cousins and nephews their along with our kids. We had a blast putting the lesson on along with the creation of the treats. I will just say that they still taste good!

The bathroom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The nieces and nephews were over the other night and it was just to quite upstairs so Shannon went to go check on them and this is what they were doing. Kids will be kids, and when they are we just sit back and enjoy the moment.

All the photos were taken by Aurianna Mauree Petty. What a fantastic photographer!

General Conference April of '08

Shannon wanted to take a picture of them sustaining the new Prophet and Apostles and other individuals. Aniston on the last one was raising both hands and Aurianna started to keep the left hand raised until Shannon told them that only the right hand should be raised. They slowly put the wrong ones down and placed the right hand up with a small grin. It was classic and just dang adorable.

Aurianna Mauree Petty

This was something that I was doodling on this afternoon. The photography is all done by me of course.

The artist note: What I was going for was a little suspicion and the other side of the cell phone. Aurianna is looking on the other side for something that is puzzling her. And the cell phone is off (of blank) giving the illusion of surprise of what she is thinking, what she is looking at, and what really lies on the other side when the cell phone is on. I guess you can say that the cell phone represents life in a confusion point of view. The door effect would represent a different path of life you can take but still close the door and choose another. Aurianna is gray tone for an effect you choose (bringing out the bright colors to offset the gray). You use your imagination with the symbolism beyond the picture.

The Obstacle Course
