Meet Kyah!!!!

MY FIRST HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

Only hours old and her big brothers sure do LOVE her!!!!!

Great Grandma Opal and Kyah.

TA DA!! She is such a sweet baby!! Who knew a girl could could be so much fun!!!!!!

So I just tuned in to my blog to listen to a little music, don't worry I wasn't even thinking about postin anything?! But to my surprise I still have my baby tracker on there and there was no baby in it!!!!!!! Uh, maybe cus she is out here with us?! SERIOUSLY!! The biggest slacker right here:) I will get some pictures on here and update you all soon...... my how life changes when you add a third child!!!

So we went to the Doctor yeasterday and found out that it is a GIRL that is in my belly!!!! I am still in shock and not quite believing it yet........ but I guess enough to post it?! We are so excited! We were taking bets with the boys on the way to the appt. and they both said they knew it was a baby sister! Chris thought forsure it was a boy and I really was on the fence. I felt like it was a girl, but didn't think I would be so lucky!! Now I truly don't believe I will believe it until I deliver this child and see it for my own two eyes but I guess when the doctor says we would need a "specialist" if it does come out a boy cuz it doesn't have boy parts, then that might mean something?! So that is the latest and greatest with the Penner's!!!

My silly boy!!

This is on the way to the hospital, he is such a funny kid! He likes to be a little dramatic and then happy all in the blink of an eye!! He had all sorts of goodies brought to him from family and friends! He is such a LOVED boy!! Thanks to all of you who kept him in your thoughts!!!

Jarron's BIG day!!! :( :( :( :(

This is a few days after surgery... Mrs. Pistacio could tell he didn't feel well!

This is going into the hospital. He got to take "friend" the frog with him into surgery, he also got a cool dinosaur animal he took in also! Too bad they weren't the ones getting stuff cut outta them:(

Th red wagon they took him away in....... I was a mess!!!!! The saddest thing to watch! He was SO brave though! I thought he would cry but he was tough!!

He thought the silly hat he had to put on was fun!! Isn't he soooooooo cute!!

This is right after we got him dressed, he was so sad:( They were a little behind so him and Chris got to settle both thier nerves by watching a little Tom and Jerry!! It helped a little.

unmotivated.....

So, I have been a slacker and I am posting to let people know that I am alive.... at least kind of:) I have been sooooooooo sick and so sick of my computer! It physically makes me nauseous(sp?) Anywho, we are all doing a little better, except Chris, who decided to give himself the WORST sprain he could have playing a little b-ball with his brother!! The doctor wanted to cast it, but Chris insisted he would be good with a boot!! Kinda funny, I know I shouldn't laugh, but I clearly am not stable in my head right now!!! I will post pics latta, it took alot of talking into to get me to just type this!!!

Best BudDiEs!!!!

So this was taken last sunday before EARLY church! I know I shouldn't complain, but if you know me, I don't like my mornings! But I just have to tell a really cute story.....so the other day I had drug the kids all over to go grocery shopping, well at one of the stores Cobey found a penny on the floor as we were checking out and the next thing I knew he was giving it to Jarron! So nice!!!! I was very proud of him for sharing and thinking of his big brother who LOVES to find the "moneys" on the ground! So then a little while later, Jarron still had the penny and I needed him to sanitize his hands, so he thought it would be a great idea to put the penny in his mouth!!! I frieked out and told him not to do that and he kinda looked at me really confused and simply asked, " Mommy, how does Jesus make money?" I just wanted to squeeze him, it was an honest question and I didn't know exactly how to answer it. I figured out a good answer and he was just fine with it and went about his sanitizing of the hands!!! Just another proud mommy moment!!!!

Happy B-day!!!

So I just have to give a shout out to my sis. Happy Birthday!!! Sorry 'bout the pic. we are always taking pictures of the kids when we are together :( This was takin in New York a couple years ago when we went to visit them. I know you have your friends and Seema(your other big sister) out there to help you celebrate, but just know I am thinking of ya and hope you have a good day!!! Love you-love me:)

I am a mean mom but I had too!!!

So the day came that Jarron got to get his cast off!!!! He wasn't to excited about it, since it was his 2nd time getting a cast off, but we told him he could get a prize if he was brave. Well we had a little trauma at first, but the nurse was very, very good and worked well with Jarron. She went very slow and made sure it didn't get too hot. She got the cast off, it took forever, and then she had to cut the gauze off and by george she cut him with the "safe" scissors and he was done being brave!!! Poor kid and poor nurse! She felt so bad!! Needless to say, his arm was hairier after taking the cast off and he got to pic out two prizes!!

winter SNOW and Christmas Goodies!!!

My Mom is so cute! She had a "project" for JArron and Cobey to do with her, Jarron is ALWAYS wanting to play games or do projects with nanna!! This time she had them help her make some yummy goodies for Christmas. They had sooooo much fun and did very well with the treats!! Thanks Mom!!

This is a funny one... Mr. Cobey was a little "smelly" in the diaper area and Landon had to pull a face in my picture, of course!!

This is the second snow storm we have gotten this winter, but the first time they got to go out & play in it! Chris of course had to be out ther in all his gear and they made one GINORMOUS snow ball(pics. to come soon!)

We had our "friend" Thanksgiving dinner at our house this year. We get together on a day when the majority of the husbands will be home(we missed ya Steve) and try to eat some turkey!!! It was lots of fun and I had to take pictures to prove that my turkey and rolls turned out!!!! I was very nervous we would be ordering some pizza, but it all went very well and everyone's food was delicious!! I miss all our "get togethers" in Texas, but I do appreciate all those who had to travel to celebrate with us and wish we could do it more often!!! Thanks Jenny for making such a fun dvd of all our memories!!!!!

So we went to the "magoon" the last day of the season. We thought we would hit up the Frightmares at least once. We found out Jarron had grown a little since the last time we went this summer and he could go on "The Bat"! He was brave and tried it:) He said he liked it, so maybe next summer we can hit a few more of the bigger rides if he keeps growing!!!! It was fun just to spend the day together and just do what we wanted!!

Yummy, yummy!!!

So nothing goes better with Halloween than sugar cookies and doughnuts!!! Cobey was so funny when he was eating his doughnut, he didn't use his hands once!!!!! He also wouldn't let anyone help him cut out the cookies!! He is so independent?!?!

Transformers, more than meets the eye....

So, Jarron was so excited to be "bumble bee" from Transformers.....he LOVES transformers!!!! He practiced his bumble bee "pose" and I think he perfected it!!! He got to have lots of parties for school and had way too much fun!!! He is already planning what he wants to be for next year!! He is such a funny kid!

Arrgh Matey!!!!!!

Cobey was so fun this Halloween, he couldn't make up his mind between being a Ghost, a firefighter or a pirate! Mom made the choice easier, we already had the pirate costume so that is what won!!! He had fun trick or treating and got TONS of candy!!! The best was him trying to eat the doughnut he got at our ward "trunk or treat", I will have to post that picture! It was too funny!!

So funny story..... this morning I was on the ball, I had the kids in the van ready to take Jarron to school, all of our recycling goods loaded up to go help "save the planet", dry cleaning ready to go get dropped off, a few returns to get done and what do ya know....... my van won't start!!!!!! SERIOUSLY?! So the funny thing about this story is that you would think that my first concerns would be getting Jarron to school or getting all my erands ran, oh no.... my frist panic thought was " Oh crap! I can't go get my diet coke this morning and I don't have any in the house?!?!? " Yes I have a problem, I am addicted!!!! I seriously went into panic mode! Luckily I have a very handy neighbor, Amy:) She saved my life today and as you can see in the pic. she knew how to do a man's work, she jump started my van!! YEA:) She was a lifesaver today and lots of other days!!! Thanks Amy, I owe you!! So I ended up getting to "Check-her-auto parts" and a nice young gentleman was able to get me a new battery and even put it in for me:) I think he knew I needed some help! Diet Coke anyone? I am learning very quickly to laugh at my life!!!!

All I have to say is if you are ever near a Pink Berry, you HAVE to try one.... they are too yummy :) I am glad I had Kristi there along with me, she understood the need to try one!! It was so fun going to the grove and farmers market in L.A. It is such a change in scenery every corner you turned in L.A.!! We got into some crazy parts.... maybe next time we can get the maps that show the stars homes and stay in the nicer parts!! I think I am done seeing strange drunk men on the corner peeing on themselves!! Yes that really did happen, I think we were trying to find our way out of "Korea town"? Not a good palce to be:)
