active thanksgiving

We went to the Houston temple for the first time as a family in November. It was fun to hear a little about it but it was raining off and on which made it kind of dreary. :)
 Nate took Jeff on a few park dates
But mostly we were just getting ready for the big trip to visit Grandma!!
 And of course, it wouldn't be playing if there wasn't any arguing.
 Okay,
So you all know that I've been trying to be a healthier human being lately and it's been really fun (I mean hard) to keep on top of that during the holidays. I just love cookies and cinnamon rolls and pie and rolls, did I mention rolls? But luckily I went to my Mom's for Thanksgiving where, not only is she supportive of helping to make things that I like that are also healthy but also helping me feel like I get my treats when I want them, but then we also do lots of outdoor activities as a family! Which were so awesome.
 On Thanksgiving day we played Kubb! A tradition now that Grandpa Radmall has made sets for everybody. :)
 My brothers think they can model. haha.
 Just because it's cute!
 And look - all ages can play! My family hates when I take action shots, but this is the stuff that I like to remember.
 Then we went for a hike to Johnson's Arch in Snow Canyon.
It was such a beautiful day and really fun to have everybody there.
 2 of my favorite shots ever.
 sand.
 Mom, dad and me can ALMOST squeeze behind Jared.
 say it with me.... aaah.
 Just because I look like a stink bug.
The kids played in the leaves!!!
 
 Jeff says "I'm a cow!!"
 
For Christmas the kids got activities to do. aria's was horsebackriding.
 She rode Morningstar
 Practicing on Red star and Silver
 Nate had just as much or more fun than she did. :)
Jeff got a tractor ride over at my Grandpa's orchard. It started out as fear and shy ness
 

but turned into an indispensable smile by the end.
 
 
 
 
 On the last day we made a visit to the temple... These were a few of my favorites. Hope you had a great thanksgiving too!

We love our pools. Especially with friends. Here we are trying to convince Nate he can do a front flip.

band wagon

To better suit my purposes, I have decided to make this more of a journal. That's what it is anyway, but I see no reason to allow random people to see it. I am going *private* Please leave your email if you are even a casual observer at the happenings in the Pettit household. You are welcome any time. The change will happen one month from today.

Glad we could share a little piece of our hearts today with the senior center. They all knew "You Are My Sunshine" which made my heart Happy.  #music   #thismanandhisguitar #wooshearts   #lovehim   #evieproject #evielaree  one of the residents told us to look up a video on YouTube about Amazing Grace. He thought we would like it.  #forreal   #howcouldheknow #n8lovesthirdeyeblind   #ilovehimforit   Also my friend intends to "adopt a grandma here". What a great idea. I can't wait to find out how it goes.  #opa Jeff thinks it's fun to get up with the sun.
