It's almost here!

Christmas is less than 2 weeks away! CRAZY! We pretty much have all of our shopping done, except just little odds and ends. It's kind of a bummer though because we look forward to Christmas shopping! This will be our 8th Christmas together and our 4th one married! That is just insane to me!

Time to reminisce...I remember waking up, or Kelli waking me up, and running out to see if Santa had made his pit stop by the Maher's yet. We would check the cookies on the plate and the carrots in the front yard-the reindeer needed to eat too:) Then we would quietly go through our stockings and when we were finished with that, we would then go and wake up our parents!

Now, Kenny and I are making our own traditions. Christmas Eve, we always put on A Christmas Story and wrap everyone's gifts. Christmas Morning, we wake each other up, then depending on if we fell asleep before putting each other's gifts out, we will hurry and put them under the tree before the other one sees:) Then we put on some Christmas music and open our gifts to each other. I love it!

Here is our tree...We do it blue, silver, and white for the Dallas Cowboys:) We can't put any gifts under it because we think Winnie might chew on them.
This is our first ornament we bought together. We got it on our honeymoon in Newport. It's a starfish...just painted...obviously:)

The greatest band EVER!

Kenny and I went and saw ACDC last night! Let me tell you...Angus Young is INCREDIBLE! It was kind of funny because, however long ago the new ACDC cd came out, I was looking at the pictures in it and I had never seen Angus Young (or at least I never realized that was him) and when I saw him I asked Kenny, "You named our dog after that guy?" And I am so proud that is his name because Angus Young is AWESOME! These guys put on a great show! One really funny thing that happened at the show was at one point Angus Young took off his jacket and started being kinda dirty with it...don't really care to explain it...then he did it with his tie, then took off his shirt, and Kenny thought he was gonna pull his shorts down and moon the audience because of the way he had his back towards us, but he didn't. He pulled his shorts down, but had on ACDC boxers that just said ACDC across the butt. Anyway, he is an amazing guitarist and I am so glad that we got the chance to see them in concert! I wanted to sneak my camara in, but that would have sucked if they found it and we would have to walk back to the truck and stuff so I only took one picture right before the concert.

Funny!

My sister had this picture of Winnie and I thought it was hysterical!

Catching Up...

I don't know where the time goes! It's been a while since we updated this so...I guess the only important thing that has happened lately is Thanksgiving. We had a great one! Spent all day with family and watched football! Cowboys won, which made it even better! We also have been getting ready for Christmas! We have about half of our shopping done, which is kind of a bummer...we love going to the mall around Christmas time, even if we don't find anything for anyone, the atmosphere is just fun to be around! We finally finished getting our lights up too! We started last weekend, but for some reason, some of our lights weren't working. So we finally went and got some more and finished our house today! We will probably do our tree tomorrow night! Kenny also played in a Turkey Bowl last Saturday! I never saw Kenny play football in high school because we started dating in December of his senior year, so by then his season was over. It was fun, even though they went 1 and 2 for the day. He is such a good quarterback! I loved watching him!

Our weekend...

Matt, Kenny's brother, had his last regular season football game at Higley High on Friday and QC WON! The score was 15-14...it was such an exciting game! Matt played very well! They start playoffs this Friday! Then Saturday, we went up north for the day to get firewood...Theresa and I found some cool rocks for our yards too...thanks to the guys for putting them in the truck:) Kenny and me posing for the camara...if that's what you wanna call it:)
Look at Kenny workin' that chainsaw...I even got to try it:)
After we got home, we had to hurry and get ready for a hockey game! The Coyotes won 4-1 and since they scored 4 goals (is that what they are called in hockey??? haha) we got a free chalupa from Taco Bell. We went with my aunt, uncle, cousins, and friends and had awesome seats! (Thanks Aunt DeAnn!) Sunday, we slept in and cleaned around the house, went grocery shopping, watched football, then went and practiced for our softball tournament this week! We ended up 9 and 5 in our softball league. Two of those losses were to a team that no one beats because they have been playing together forever, but the second game was close:) We are a pretty good team though, especially for not ever practicing or playing with eachother before this! We will start playing on another team at the Field of Dreams for a short league with a friend who's work is sponsoring us! That field is so neat so it will be fun to play there! Then another Queen Creek league will start on January 1st, which we just found out today that we were picked again! They only pick 8 teams and about 20-30 teams put in, I think. I guess it's good to "know some people" *wink wink" :)

Hailey also had a tournament this last weekend. We missed it because we were up north, but they went 2 and 2 and lost in the 2nd round that night. Hailey had a homerun, so I just wanted to brag about how AWESOME my little sister is at softball:) I am so proud of her and she amazes me at everything she does. She is a natural at every sport she plays! I don't think there is one game that goes by that me and Kelli don't yell "that's my sister!" haha

It's official...

Brad Johnson is awful, but the Cowboys still won this week! It's a good week:)

3 Years!

Kenny and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary yesterday! We went to PF Changs for dinner and we were going to see a movie, but when we were on our way out of the restaurant, Kenny looked at me with a strange look and said, "I kinda feel like goin' Christmas shopping." So we went to the mall:) We didn't end up buying anything for anyone, but we did get ourselves season 4 of Entourage and a new dvd holder. (Hey, it's our anniversary) We had about 10 dvds just stacked on top of eachother that was an eyesore...especially for Kenny!(For those of you who know how Kenny is with his dvds:)) He was pretty excited. Anyway...anyone who is married, I am sure can agree that it goes by so fast! The last 7 years of my life have been incredible because Kenny was a part of it! Not only because of him, but because of his family too. I could not ask for better in-laws or brother-in-laws! And the same goes for my family...He is the son my parents never had. My family says they want to take him and "freeze" him to save for their daughters when they get older!:) Yeah, I am pretty sure that I have the BEST husband in the world! I love him!
