Time for a new Semester...And a NEW Year!

I am not all that glad to be going back to school. The vacation has been to nice to stop now. But it is going to be interesting this semester since I am also creating a "flash" website for my sister-in-law Jennifer. It will be a photography website coming soon to www.koubakreations.com so keep a look out for it. Also I will be creating also in the near future "flash" games for kids and also some church activities to learn more of the gospel in a fun way. We will see what happens.

We have endured a sickness holiday season but slowly getting over them. Aurianna has started to go to CTR 6 and Aniston has graduated from Nursery to "SUNBEAMS". She has been singing "Jesus wants me for a sun....BEAM" every since we have been home from church. Aniston loves to practice her letters and Aurianna loves to hold her brother. Ammon loves to much to be held...spoiled brat! I wish that I was hold as much as Ammon has.

Timet has been good so far. I have lasted a full year in Chlorination. I do have some interesting stories about getting gased and fighting of TiCl₄ clouds. There is a Target center going up in front of Timet so we had to have some HAZMAT training for natural and human disasters if they would happen here in Timet, that was interesting as well.

We are still trying to get a house. After many, many months of going through FHA we are really seeing better deals popping up in Henderson. We are working with the under writer right now for the pre-approval. We already know what we are pre-approved for but it isn't official yet. So we will keep it posted on where we are at so that we can invite the whole world over to celebrate our new accomplishment in life.

I do hope to get another internship somewhere but when I really don't know. I have placed some communications towards some interest towards some Short Films that are going to be filming in the valley for the next 3 to 4 months. But I haven't received any responses yet but who knows in the next 2 weeks.

I have place a new feature in the blog..."Special Events" is where I will be placing anniversary's and birthday's for the month. Aurianna is pulling my hair and Aniston is hitting me in my arm. I think I better stop before Auri makes me bold and Ani bruises my arm to a purple and blue dismantled arm.

Happy Birthday Auri & Shannon

Specially Invited to the Princess Party..."Evan Hardy"! what a handsome potential eternal mate!





The party was pretty small but yet it was grand. Shannon pretty much got clothes and some special items for our new home...(when we are getting one, who knows!) but Auri did get what she wanted and it was a blast.

Roberta Naegle Petty

I know that this was a while ago, but I was shocked that I found this on Google. I very proud of my grandma and also my grandpa (Rodeo) Petty. I couldn't find Rodeo's obituary but I will dig deeper and place it on here. This is mostly for me to remind me of my great heritage.


Roberta Naegle Petty, age 75, passed away April 2, 2006, in Cedar City. She was born Nov. 26, 1930, in Toquerville, Utah, to Jesse Bringhurst and Eden Edith Flesher Naegle. She married Rodeo Petty on July 15, 1950, in Pioche, Nev. She is preceded in death by her husband, Rodeo.

After Roberta and Rodeo were married, they moved to Henderson, Nev., in 1955, where they raised their family. Roberta always supported her family in everything that they did—whether it was hunting, rodeo, fishing, camping or baseball, she was always there. She was devoted to her kids, grandkids and great-grandkids.

Roberta loved the outdoors. She loved to go hunting and camping with her family. She worked and also retired from the St. Rose Dominican Hospital for 27 years. Roberta was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

She is survived by her children Arnold Roe Petty (Norma) of Tridell, Utah; Steven Ray Petty (Colleen) of Liberty, Utah; and also Debra Petty of Henderson, Nev. Roberta is also survived by seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. She is survived by one brother, Larry Jess Naegle (Virgina) of Cedar City, and one sister, Betty Bess of Henderson, Nev. She is preceded in death by her parents, Jesse and Eden Naegle, and her granddaughter, Michelle Thearse Petty.

We are so very glad that you have found your way back into Grandpa's arms after the many years without him. We love you so much and are constantly thinking about you and Grandpa.

Aniston's Birthday Party...The special Age of 3!

This is Shannon's first time making a cake like this! Didn't she do great!!!!




Aniston had a blast, a lot of her cousins came over and celebrated her birthday. Her birthday was on the 17th but we had the party on the 18th so that Jessica and her kids were able to be there for the party. Aniston got some new clothes and some games and other toys that she loves to play with. WE love her so much and she is such a blessing in our lives.

Here is a small video on her talking about its her bithday and she is 1...I mean 3 years old.

Grandma Petty emailed us on the 13th and this is what they received up in the cabin country.

We are jealous...very jealous! And there is Grandpa Petty mowing the snow out of the way! He is having to much fun it looks like! Did the snow shovel go on strike?

The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep

The Water Horse Legend of the Deep from Jesse Petty on Vimeo.
This will be interesting to see. I don't know a lot about the legend of the Loch Ness but I had an instructor who visited the castle where you can go and look out and maybe spot the Loch Ness. Of course that was all that I heard and I went back to what ever I was doing at the time (I have A.D.) It seems also that some historians who studied Loch Ness and others who studied the effect of the Legend in Scotland are very pleased and impressed that they did a film about the Ness.


here is their video blog talks about the making of it and a little about the back story of Loch Ness.


Here is the official website.

Internship Over...

After completing 108 hours my internship is over. It was a huge learning experience for me. I loved every minute of it. Jared Klein the Art Director loved my work but of course he did have more to criticize towards but luckily in a positive way. Learning new software and dealing with Mac's, the tablet and also the software I-news, graphics converter along with learning the HD format for broadcast video. I am very grateful for the time and the experiences that I have learned there. I am finding out about myself that my drive is stronger than I thought. Hopefully that my drive towards a real career in visual effects and also film will get me to where I want to go.


Of course I will miss my news anchors in the hall ways. Paula Francis was such a hottie(If I was single I would so take her out on a date), even though she is as old as my parents. Gary and Dave I am very glad that you said Hi to me and smiled, not everybody can say that. And Charlotte Evans I will never forget how you waited for me at the door to get into the building. Your smile and kind gestures towards me I will never forget. I am pretty sure that you winked at me, but I won't tell nobody.

Shannon and Ammon's Fame on Channel 13

There is no audio...sorry!


While we were at the Magical Forest, Channel 13 flagged my beautiful wife and handsome son down for an interview. The interview was all about the coldest day yet in the valley. Pretty much they asked..."Are you cold?". Shannon talked about how..."It finally got cold around Thanksgiving and it started to feel like the holidays." It was really cold there by the way. I almost told them that Channel 8 already has exclusive rights to Shannon...but I didn't. It was a blast seeing that the girls are getting into the Christmas spirit.

More Magical Forest FUN!!

I did not know that Santa has blue eyes

Ani wanted to pick the rabbit, Why I don't know?! But it was fun!

I think this is as close we are going to get to Santa this year!


We sure did have fun on the train! The Girls loved it!

Magical Forest FUN!

Freelance work for Mark Truman Orthodontist

This is the inside of the card

This is the outside of the card


Mark Truman wanted a "Grinch stole Christmas" Christmas card with his staff as the who's and Mark as the Grinch. And this is what I came up with. I added an additional file for him for laughs making his staff just look funny. And of course he did love it. Here is his website



Below are two of the many pictures that I gave Mark as an added bonus for giving me some freelance work. I manepulated his staff's pictures using only the staffs face and body parts in different areas and different looks. Enjoy!!

This is the Doc, Mark Truman

This is the Jody Moser of course!
