July

 I really just enjoyed being with my kids in July. Nate started his new job. It's definitely been a transition, but it's been so exciting that we have the prospect of doing something great. I am loving having him home in the evenings so much.
 
 For the 4th of July we sang a version of the star spangled banner at our ward party, had a fun and yummy breakfast and then headed to Bellaire for the parade. These two are just meant for each other.
 I was so excited we got to watch one of my very favorite movies of all time. Mary Poppins. They actually really enjoyed it. I was surprised because they usually turn their noses up at live action. They were obviously enthralled and I realized that I have my very own Jane and Michael. They are just like them.
 My friend Mindy, throws amazing parties. I'm so glad I can be her friend so she can invite me to her cool parties. She is so great, really. This one was a flower garden. We were all supposed to wear white dresses and we made our own flower crowns. It was so fun.


Here's us mooing on free chick-fil-a day.
 We got out our best superhero capes and masks at the children's museum with our good friends Jack and Nolan.

We got a new car!!! We're only minorly obsessed.
Only type A people like me... read their manual...

The kids kinda like it too.. :)
Aria CHOPPED her hair. See below. I'd almost forgotten how thick and gorgeous it was... but the new 'do totally fits her.
 
We used our new car to spend the rest of the summer's mfah's extravaganzas... made browsing for parking way more fun. We also spent EVERY week at the art museum. it was super fun to visit the 'new countries' every week via their artwork. They had puzzles and activities for everything and it was so fun just to be us.
 Building our own gold crowns like those from Africa...
The summer months are the ones we spend inside at our house. Here we're taking a new spin on quirkle.
We spent most of July's mornings taking tennis lessons. They were kinda lame, but really free, which what I'm all about anyway.. :) The kids liked it a lot. This is their last day.

We love our pools. Especially with friends. Here we are trying to convince Nate he can do a front flip. He still doesn't believe me.  #thiswasthebestone   #jeffjustwentupanddidit   #overandover   #unafraid   #doesntcarewhatpeoplethink   #wishididnt  # summerlovin Independence day kickball.

"I've never been so alone, alone, and I've, and I've never been so alive. So alive." - Motorcycle Drive-by - Third Eye Blind //How we feel. All the time. 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. Apparently it's starting to wear on him because this is what I woke up to this morning.  #goodmorning   #goodmorning   #asleepagainalready   #itsgreattostayoutlate We signed up to help at the Houston food Ban...

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.
