a little family competition....girls against boys!

the boys were really serious about winning!


Ava Kate thought it was just fun to hold the gun and look at the shinny numbers on top...

Big enough to ride the BIG roller-coasters this year!!!

Thunderation!!!

so excited!!  He loved it so much that they rode 3 times in a row!

my little dare devils....arms up the whole time with lots of squealing!!

riding the elephants with mommy...

teacups for the boys....they were spinning as fast as they could the entire time...made me dizzy just to watch!!

more frogs with daddy...this was Ava Kate's favorite ride!


the small roller coaster with hands up the entire time...


the Christmas Parade...



Ava Kate was not a fan of all the dressed up characters!!  

the train ride around Silver Dollar City....

it doesn't get much better than trains and Christmas caroling....definitely puts you in the Christmas Spirit!!

all tuckered out!!

waiting for Frosty the Snowman....


Fun in the ball house...another favorite for our kiddos!!







watching the Christmas parade one more time before heading home....

finally brave enough to say hi to the princess...

Bikes for Hero's Race....


Bikes for Heroes had their annual 5k and Josh and Owen were the family participants this year! 


Josh ran the 5k and Owen did the 1 mile walk..

My little athletes... 

Dima making all the announcements...

Owen's first race...he's getting so big! 

It was a cold morning so we were all anxiously waiting for the race to start...


Daddy's fan club minus Gigi, the photographer



Yay daddy!  The kids loved watching him run across the finish line... 

Owen was a little nervous about his walk/run and what he was suppose to do....so we all did it with him!  A little family exercise! 

Almost to the finish line...

So proud of these two!

Happy Halloween!

We always have to stop by the Headwaiter to see their silly costumes and get some yummy candy!

Braxton...the little hunter!

Ansley...the little 80's aerobics instructor 


After Trick-or-Treat on the square, we all headed back to our house for dinner and more trick or treating in our neighborhood!

a little break from all the Halloween fun to play babies....

Ansley waiting on everyone to go trick-or-treating...

let the trick-or-treating begin.....Charley, Campbell, Emma, and Hannah

sister was all about the candy!!!
