Biography of Sara Pettitt

Sara Brianne Pettitt is 21 years old. She is the third oldest girl and the seventh oldest of the Pettitt's. She just returned from Chile, South America on April 15th, 2015 after a eighteen month long mission. She is now back at home until fall, when she will return back to school. Sara's birthday is April 18th.

Sara graduated from Carroll High in 2012 and went to the University of Northern Iowa for one year and played golf on a scholarship. After one year, she turned in her mission papers and was called to serve in the Chile Osorno Mission. Before going to Chile, she stopped at the Missionary Training Center (MTC) for six weeks in Mexico City. Now that she is back, she will probably start work in a little bit, but before that she will vacation to her siblings' houses. There's not much to write because she still has a life and journey in front of her. We have truly missed her while she was on her mission, and we are all glad that she is back home, safe and sound. 

Biography of Kristen (Pettitt) Bell

Kristen Clare Bell is 23 years old. She is the second oldest girl and the sixth oldest of the Pettitt's. She was married to Ryan Bell on October 11th, 2012. She is currently living in Kilgore, Texas, but will be moving soon because her husband will be finishing school in May. Kristen's birthday is November 6th, and Ryan's birthday is April 24th. 

Kristen graduated from Carroll High in 2010 and went to beauty school in Utah for two years. This is where she met the love of her life, Ryan Bell. The funny thing is, is that our family actually met Ryan before Kristen did. Ryan served a mission in the Iowa mission, and one of his terms was here in Carroll, Iowa. Before he left, he asked our dad if he could take her out on a date and clean her car since his dad also owned a car wash. They dated and both lived in Utah for a while, but after getting married and sticking around for a year or so they decided to moved to Texas. Texas is where Ryan went to school to finish his degree. That is where they are now. With them living in Texas, it actually brings them to Iowa more often than in Utah because of the shorter distance. Even with them closer, they don't seem close enough because I can never get too much of my older sister and roommate.  

Biography of Kirby Pettitt

Kirby Christopher Pettitt is 25 years old. He is the fourth oldest boy and the fifth oldest of the Pettitt's. He is currently living in Arizona, but will come back for the summer and then back to Arizona for the winter. He is a single pringle. His birthday in July 30th. 
Kirby graduated from Carroll High in 2008 and went to Colorado State University for five years. He went there on a golf scholarship and golfed all five years.

That summer he golfed in tournaments in the Midwest. The fall/winter of 2013 he went down to Arizona where he golfed. The spring of 2014 he came back to golf that summer and then back to Arizona that fall/winter again, where he is currently. Kirby comes back for holidays, so its not too bad, but we miss his loud mouth around here sometimes.

Wade Michael Pettitt is 27 years old. He is the third oldest boy and the fourth oldest of the Pettitt's. He currently lives in Davenport, Iowa.

After, he went to Arizona in November of 2009 and stayed there for the winter. He would come back in the summer, do some tours in the Midwest, and he would also work at the club while giving some lessons.

He continues to go to school and live in Davenport with his fiance, but comes back to visit. We all look forward to his and Kelsey's big day in July!

The Life of the Pettitt's in Basketball

      Basketball tends to be another sport that runs in the FAM! All the kids that have gone through high school have played all four years. Ben started at least 2 if not 3 of the four years he played in High School. This goes for the same as Tiff and Nate. I believe it was Tiff's sophomore and junior year that her team made it to state, and they won it once and place second the other. Her team was pretty great! Wade and Kirby were really good also! Wade finished 3rd in state as a senior. They started at least a couple of the four years they played. Kirby holds 4th or 5th in leading scorers at Carroll High with about 1,320 something points. Kristen popped the 3 pointers while her younger sister, Sara, played point guard for varsity all four years of high school, and sadly Jill quit after two years in high school because she just couldn't play with her teammates. Hopefully I can make varsity next year, but I am going to have to work my butt off. Jace will also be playing basketball next year, but not as high as he would like because he actually has a lot of competition. Gabe plays lots of basketball, but won't be on a team until next year on the Carroll Middle School team, and for Grace, well shes already playing on a traveling team, so I think when they get around to high school the girls should actually be pretty good.
