We took the kids to a place called Hollywood Connection on saturday. I think they really enjoyed it. They rode a bunch of rides, and we played mini golf. We had a hard time getting them to leave. Later on we went to hogle zoo and seen the christmas lights. Isaac thought he was pretty cool wearing his 3D glasses. The glasses made all the lights look like little snowmen. It was cold but fun.
Derek had a weekend off so we decided to take advantage of it and takes the kids out. Friday night we took them to Thanksgiving Point. First we went and seen some of Santa's reindeer(comet, and blitzen). The kids thought this was so cool that Santa had let these people borrow his reindeer. They had a bunch of lights set up so you could just drive through them, that was nice so we didn't have to go out into the cold. 
Baylee was supposed to make a diorama of a coniferous forest for school. It was a family project. I was way scared to do it, I must be way to old because I don't even remember doing a diorama in school. I wasn't ever sure what a diorama was when she first got the assignment. But when we got started we had alot of fun making it. Here is our finished project. I think it turned out pretty good.
Well I haven't had much to write about, our lives have slowed done tons. But the kids found this really cool, so I thought I would add it. We had a moose running around our neighborhood today. We got in the car and drove right up to it. The kids got to see it up close and we got some pictures. Plus call me strange but I love to sit and watch them I think there such cool looking animals. So that was our excitement for now.
Halloween is a great holiday around our house. This would be Derek's favorite holiday, and he is 27 years old. Our kids will never have to worry about getting enough candy, the only thing they need to worry about is having good running shoes. Baylee and Carson get about 1/2 a bag, then there good to go home. This year was the first year Isaac really knew what was going on. We couldn't get him to go home. He stayed out a half hour longer then his older brother and sister. Plus he was so cute working the people over, most of them gave him double the candy. He ended up with a bag and a half of candy. I'm just glad Derek has finally got someone to trick or treat with him all night. (In the pic Isaac looks like a cat, but it actually was a really cute skunk costume).
Well I decided I needed to be more involved in the kids activities. So I took on the job as soccer registrar, which was alot more work then I ever expected. We didn't have enough coaches so guess what I did, I volunteered my services as Carson's coach. It was fun and I learned alot about soccer (because I knew nothing before I started). Baylee I think liked it a little bit, but she was really excited for it to be over. Carson absoultely loved it. I think I've got the next soccer star on my hands. Well now all I have to do is the soccer party to give them their trophies. Then I'm done with soccer until May. 
ig black eyes. There will be a huge whole in our hearts, but we need to remember the good times we got to share with him. I'm so glad my kids were able to know their uncle. I hope he's eating as much ice cream as he possible can. We love you Tanner.
