P-A-R-T-Y!

Amea had a wonderful time at her party. She was a little unsure of all the people there. But she loved opening all the presents.

She wasn't sure what to do with the cake, but if you listen after we are all done singing Happy Birthday... She says Happ Boo... It was so cute.

Amea Doesn't like

It depends on the day, but she will let you know with her high pitched scream.

We are so gratful that Amea is in our family. She is such a joy and brings such a sweet spirit into our home. She is such a happy child, especially when she has a full belly and a nice nap. We have definately gone on quite an adventure in this past year, and we are look forward to many more!

Book of Mormon Stories

So we have been going through the stories in the Book of Mormon with Ty-kell. Last night he asked me to tell him the "pear story". So as I started telling Lehi's dream this is how our conversation went.

Me "There was a man named Lehi, and he had a dream. And in the dream their was a tree. And on the tree there was..."
Ty-kell "Pears, and they ate them."
Me "Yes, and the Pears were..."
Ty-kell "White and they make you happy."
Me " That's right Ty-kell"
Ty-kell "Then the bad guy ate the fruit and had to leave, cause the girl did it too."
Me " What?"
Ty-kell "The girl Eve was naughty and she ate the fruit, and Adam was a bad guy and ate the fruit"
Me "Well, Adam was not a bad guy he just ate the fruit Heavenly Father and Jesus asked him not to."
Ty-kell " Mommy he ate the pears?"
Me "No, he ate the fruit of the tree of good and evil. The pears are good to eat they represent God's Love."
Ty-kell " Oh, and then there was a bad guy Sam..."
Me "Sam?" "Oh, do you mean Satan?"
Ty-kell " Yes, Satan and he was a bad guy and he cuts off my arms."
Me " Satan is not a good guy, but it was Satan who cut off arms it was Ammon and he cut of the arms of the Lamanites for stealing his sheep."
Ty-kell " Then Adam ate the fruit and Eve ate the fruit, and they were naughty.
Me " Yes, Ty-kell it is time for bed. Go to sleep."
Ty-kell "Mommy, there was a good guy and his name is Jesus, and the bad guy Satan."
Me "Yes, Ty-kell good night.
I hope that I got it straightened out for him... I thought it was funny that he thought Satan was going to cut off his arms.

Finally Finished

The Entertainment Center is DONE! Well, pretty much... I just need to finish decorating. I need some really cute baskets for my DVD's. And I haven't decided what to do with all of the space. I really feel that my living room is all put together. I am in love with my living room.

This is our cute chocolate brown sofa. I just hung up the pictures on the wall. The middle frame had forrest green ribbon on it, but it didn't match. So I found this blue ribbon. It is the perfect color. It is the exact blue on my pillow.

The couch had these ugly pillows, so I recovered them in this adorable fabric. I used the back of the pillow is the same as the couch.

So here is the next project to finish. Notice the wonderful folding chairs. We have six wooden ones. We are working on sanding them down. And I am going to paint them red. I am going to paint them cherry red.

This is the center piece on my table. I am not in love with it.... It needs something else. Something different. I want to use what I have. Any ideas? I would love to here them.

Summer Beauty Pagent

First, we are starting in the Baby Beauty division. Here we have Amea Tasi Petty. She loves to go on adventures, play with her big brother, and eat as much food as she can. She hopes one day that she can do everything her brother can. Amea is sporting beautiful summer shorts that her wonderful Grandma gave her. So cute. Please give a hand for Amea.

Second we have the Tiny Tots Division. Here on the stage is Ty-kell Young Petty. He has a sporting personality and he loves to play outside, with his little sister, and likes being the boss. He hopes one day that he can be just like his daddy. Ty-kell is wearing awesome shorts that give him that just now summer look, and he wants to give a big thanks to his wonderful Grandma for the cool summer look. Give it up for Ty-kell.

I think they both deserve Grand Supreme!
