Hunting

Roxanne has been 'teaching' Mia how to hunt in the windows. This is her favorite time of year when the leaves start to fall and the birds are flying around. It was funny to just sit and enjoy watching them together. Funny girls.

Happy Belated Halloween!

I (heart) Little Rock!!

I love this town. Little Rock...you are awesome!

Happy Belated Birthday!!

What a year it has been! I am so thankful for the opportunity to spend my birthday with so many family and friends. I had a great birthday and I'm looking forward to spending more time with the folks I love and cherish!

One more...

I found this sign to be very humorous. My stepmom and I were indulging in a funnel cake from the fair and I noticed this one. We happened to be sitting under what I will call the "ski lift" for the fair--It was just like a ski lift; it would carry people from one end of the fair to the other and back. Very cool (well, not so much if you happened to be on the lift, in the sunshine!).

More Oregon pictures

Oregon

I was able to make my trip to Portland, OR both a business and fun trip. For the first part, I had training for work. For the second part, I was able to visit with my dad and stepmom. We had stops at the Pittock Mansion (very cool place within the city itself); the Oregon State Fair (HUGE!); Thompson's Flour Mill (oldest one in the state and was inoperation up until 2005--started back in the 1800's!); and of course, my dad's hometown of Silverton.

Peabody Ducks

For as long as the Peabody Hotel in Little Rock has been around (maybe 8 years or so; it used to be called the 'Excelsior' hotel), I have been meaning to go by and take pictures of the ducks. I found out that the ducks enjoy riding the hotel elevator where they often look out upon the crowd gathering below and they also march to the Big Band music of John Philip Sousa.

Well, I finally got my chance to do this a couple of weeks ago. We were hosting a national conference for my work and it was being held at the Peabody. So, I took my chance. Enjoy!

Beach Vacay...and a new friend

Happy Birthday Cathy!!

Catch and Release

This little fella was being chased by the cows this morning. Don't worry...they released him back into the wild!

Damages

Last weekend was the first time I had been to the farm since the ice storm back in January 09. I saw a lot of the tops of trees broken; maybe it seems less due to the treens 'greening out' (leaves coming out). I know Mother Nature has a way of working it out and I have no doubts the farm will be as it once was. It may take a couple of years to get there, but it will.

Farmtown

Mabel and Molly

Two more additions to the Coburn clan. Hopefully, this fall we will have one more!

And then there's this...

Pictures from this year's PBC are slowly starting to trickle in...I'm really sorry the Coburn clan missed the outing this year! Glad you guys had a good time (from the looks of it) and can't wait for the next run!
