I am the Monopoly Princess!!!!

Just wanted to make a note that I am now the Monopoly Princess. All the money, houses, and hotels on the board are MINE. Brian is OUT!!! Not only did this happen once tonight but TWICE!!! So this is for Emily, I beat him two times and he was the one left with no money!!! The second game I had all hotels and Brian had to buy back all his houses and hotels to pay me for landing on one of my spaces with a hotel. OH YEAH, I AM A ROCKSTAR - BABY!

Puzzled??

Well, in case you were wondering how we spent our weekend, this is it. Emily asked Friday night if we could get a 3D puzzle from Wal-Mart. We bought the puzzle after we finished eating Chinese. We started working Saturday morning and here we are. The puzzle is really pretty and Brian and I found shortly after that we were the only ones working on it. Emily did a really good job and got a lot of things put together and then of course Brian did the rest. I call myself the finisher, because I would look and look and then I would find the LAST piece to complete a fish and I would finish them up. HAHAHA! Where would Brian be without me.

We let Emily have one of her presents early on Saturday because it is tradition in my house to open one present early. Emily got Monopoly from Laney and Lilley. So we started playing not realizing how long the game was. So our entire weekend was spend playing Monopoly and working on the puzzle it seemed. We all had a ball and just so everyone knows Brian is the KING OF MONOPOLY!

Emily liked Monopoly in the beginning and bought all the properties that she could. She did a really good job and was learning about money. I don't believe that we ever finished one game because it seemed to go on forever and she and I would get bored with it.

The weather is so warm that I am having a hard time getting into the Holiday Spirit. I am praying for a cold front to rush through and possibly some snow. Can't wait to see everyone!

Love you all.

Laney Belle

Laney Belle after one of many nightly Belly Checks to see how much she has broken out that day to report back to the vet.

Well, as most of you know we have had MAJOR problems with Ms. Laney and her allergies. There is no telling how much money we have spent on medicine, hypo-allergenic foods, and treats for her. We have been in and out of the vet for more than a a year and received prescription after prescription. We are going to bite the bullet in January and have her allergy tested, so that we can determine exactly what she is allergic to.

They will take her blood and send it off to a lab and they will test for everything, I have been told. We are very excited to finally find out what it is. They really hate to start her on allergy shots at her young age but if it will keep her comfortable and from scratching and chewing on her paws I am all for it. For the past 3 months she has been on predezone shots, and hopefully we will get lucky and determine what she is allergic to without having to start her on monthly allergy shots. They have told me that if we have to start her so young she will have to change her medicine over and over. The more we change the meds the more expensive they get.

She has been doing really well since we have gotten Lilley and now goes outside and plays for a while. In the past she would go outside and handle her business and dart for the door to come back inside. She spends the majority of her time chewing and scratching. She even misses out on play time with her Daddy. She does not seem to be nearly as uncomfortable as she used to be but if we can get her to a point where there is not itching and breaking out I will be so happy and I am sure she will be as well.

It's a Girl!

*IT'S A GIRL*

Robyn and Kerry are having a GIRL! So Aunt Misty will have a new niece in April! We are all very excited about Robyn being pregnant and even more excited now that we know the babies gender. We have all begun buying things for this little girl. I believe that she already has some PINK Air Jordan's! (Of course, that is for her Daddy the SHOE FREAK!)

*HERE SHE IS*

I cannot wait to start planning the shower, I am going to let the holidays pass before I start the party planning. I am really gonna miss Robyn's participation in the New Year's Eve drinking game that she and I always manage to have. No matter when I start I am always playing catch up to her. We try to keep up with one another, that way one of us always knows how many drinks we have had. This year however, she should have no problem keeping count of my drinks as she will have a sober mind.

Love you all & you too, Baby Girl Pennington

Just thought I would let everyone know that I was messing with Mrs. Pasalakis who got on to me for not adding any recent posts! I knew she would get a good laugh out of this.

I was just messing with her! I hope no one takes this personally, I figured she would be my first and only comment. I love it! Thanks for checking in on us.

Love you ALL!

Who knew that anyone was still checking this Blog. I just decided I would add things every now and then for my own personal memories, considering no one ever leaves me any comments!

New Friends

Emily & Anna

Emily and Anna met Friday night after Emily finished the Tullahoma parade. Anna is my friend Brenna's step-daughter and she spent the weekend with us. They have had a great time. We went to the parade to watch Emily on Friday night and after that the fun began. They wanted to pull out the couch bed and sleep in the living room. As Brian was pulling out the beds these two nutheads started climbing and posing on top of all the pillows and cushions.

We celebrated Lilley Blossom's 1st Birthday on Saturday. She and Laney got dresses, sweaters, bones, and toys. (Because you know they both get gifts!) I will ad pictures when I get them developed. We went to Wal-Mart to pick out the gifts and a lot of people were asking if Emily and Anna were twins or if they were identical. No one could believe it when we told them that they were not even related. The girls thought it was hilarious!

The girls put up the Christmas Tree in Emily's room and they did an awesome job. This is the first year that Emily has had a tree in her room. We have it decorated in hot pink, turquoise, green, and white.

When they finished the decorating they played a little longer and then got ready for the Shelbyville Parade. Emily is very lucky to have wonderful grandparents that participate in so many fun things. Emily, Anna, Micky, and Jill rode in Micky's Impala through the parade Saturday night. They had a lot of candy and somehow manged to about run out of candy before they made it to us. We sat at Tropical Island with Robyn and her family and some family friends. I had a GREAT time. I have not gotten to spend a lot of time with Robyn in a while because I was in Smyrna and she has been very tired. Robyn is about 18 weeks pregnant and I think we are ALL VERY EXCITED! She will find out on Thursday whether she will be having a boy or a girl. Once we find that out, let the shopping begin!! I guess that is all for now.

Love you all!
