Mountain Home Marathon

Last weekend, Ryan's family came for a visit. One of the first events of the weekend was the Mountain Home Marathon. This year was the 6th Annual race that benefits a village in Kenya. The race has raised funds over the past 6 years to build fresh water wells a world away. Ryan, his dad, and I jogged/walked the 5K. Bobby finished the 1st out of the 3 of us and Ryan and I crossed the finish-line together. It was a great morning for a great cause.

Duke's New 'Do

Well, it's not really a new hairdo, but the last time Duke got his hair cut, we took the opportunity to take a few pictures while dinner was on the stove. Notice...Duke is somehow perfectly posed in all of the pictures, while Aspen is a little less cooperative...

They put a new scarf on Duke after every haircut...for some reason this one had Tinkerbell on it...We tried not to laugh, but he was a bit embarrassed.

A Beautiful Weekend

The weather could not have been any better this weekend...mid-seventies and nothing but sun! We went to the river Saturday. Ryan did some fishing while I went for a jog and then laid on the grassy bank soaking up some November sunshine. Here are a few scenic shots from the pretty day at the river.

Fall Foliage

We went for a hike last weekend to enjoy the fall foliage before it fell to the ground...and it's a good thing we went when we did! This weekend, most of the trees are bare. The hiking trail wound around coves at the lake and ended at a lookout point on top of a small mountain.
