Only 3 more days till Christmas! Yay! I still have so much to do though. Also it looks like the weather is going to be nice enough for us to go to Ogden to pick up our Honey Baked Ham and do dinner and swimming on Christmas Eve with my mom and Rick.

We went to Grams house this weekend in Lewiston. We went over on Saturday afternoon and slept over. The kids love having sleep overs. Lexi didn't sleep very well and kept me up some of the night. In the morning we watched Rudolph and the Island of Misfit Toys, Santa Clause is Comming to Town and the new movie A Meiser Brothers Christmas. We got a free DVD rental from the RedBox so we wented Journey to the Center of the Earth. That was my favorite movie of the day.

Ladell, Joann and Mitch showed up around Lunch time and brough KFC chicken with them. It was so yummy. This is one of our favorite meals to have a grams house. The kids loved seeing Mitch. They call him Uncle Mitch because Kris is the closest thing to a brother Mitch has. Kris, Mitch, Zak and Kayja played games together. They had so much fun. Lexi was like a Koala the whole time. She just clung to my neck and wouldn't let me put her down. Since we left her with grandma with the basketball in September for a few days she hasn't wanted to go to hardly anyone but Kris or I let alone people she doesn't know or hasn't seen in a while. She is such a silly girl. She is getting so big. Lexi is definately ready for Christmas. She keeps trying to rip presents open.

I keep bugging Kris about what we are going to do when we close the store. But he doesn't want to talk about it. He just wants to take care of it in his own way. It is kind of hard for me. But I think I have figured out a few things that will keep me busy and happy. I know I am supposed to stay home with my Children. They need me. But I also need to do things for myself. Going to gymnastics once a week has definately helped out. I hope I can continue to keep going for a while. I love getting the exercise. Even if it is just once a week.

I want to write and take pictures. Probably make books. I should be able to do this in my spare time with my kids. I want to write informative books and about things I like and things I learn about. Also I think I am going to write a book on how to be a good stay at home mom and making the decision. I know I have lots to tell about my experiences and there is lots more for me to learn and research to help me be better. I need to get organized a little better. I make lots of lists of things. I'm hoping I can put them all on here eventually. Then I have everything in one place, and it doesn't take up any space.

I think I want to make tourism information about lots of different destinations I want to go to. This way hopefully I'll get to travel everywhere to take the pictures for my books. I'm going to start close to home on a small budget. I'm going to take pictures of all the fun things to do in Logan and the Cache Valley area to start with. I'm excited to do this with my kids. They will have so much fun and so will I.
