Abrahams Take Tanglefoot Trail!

It's Labor Day and what did we do?? We labored on the Tanglefoot Trail and it was a blast! This is something I've been wanting to do for a while, and now that Sam and Kendall can both ride bikes for a long time, we decided it was the perfect day for it. We loaded up our bikes and set out on the trail with a sack of food and drinks. We actually ended up biking a little over 12 miles roundtrip. Everyone did good, but Kendall was NOT a fan of the biking. She pouted at times, but she survived. We started in Algoma and biked to downtown Pontotoc. We stopped at a little shop and had fruit bowls to power up for the ride back. It was a fun day!!

About 4 miles into the ride, this is what Kendall looked like!! She was over it!

Everyone smiles for fruit bowls!!

Family LOVE!

 We were so excited that Uncle Charlie, Treva, Bella and Marshall made a trip to Oxford over the weekend for softball camp for Bella. We drove over to Oxford to visit with them (Bella and Marshall were at the camp). Karen and the girls met us as well! We all went to lunch at Proud Larry's and then went back to Mark's house to visit. It was so good seeing them! We don't see them often enough so it was such a great visit!

Star Student Sam!

Oh how excited we were to find out that Sam had been selected as "Student of the Month" from his class for the month of August! Chet and I surprised him by showing up for the celebration. They were honored with an award and pizza and dessert! We are so proud of him!

Sam and Mrs. Kincaid!

Lindsey is HERE!

Lindsey and her boyfriend, Cody, came home for a few days visit. We met them over in Oxford at Mark and Jessica's house. We were SO excited to see her...it's been over 4 years since I've laid my eyes on her in person. I cried happy tears when I hugged her neck! The kids were excited to see her and it was Kathryn's first time to meet her in person! We did a lot of catching up and laughing! We sure do miss her being so far away!

Meet the Teacher and First Day of School

Here we go!!! Another school year has begun! We were able to meet all of teachers the day before school started. I feel like we got the "cream of the crop" when it comes to our educators! We are looking forward to an amazing year at ECEC and Lawhon!

I can't believe my Kathryn is old enough for "big school". Here are her teachers for the year-- Ms. Young and Ms. Sykes.

Our next stop was at Lawhon. 

Sam and Mrs. Kincaid

Kendall and Mrs. Burkley

The day before school started, we had to make a visit to the Dentist office to have Sam's teeth pulled. He had teeth growing behind teeth and it was necessary to have 3 teeth pulled to make room for his growing teeth!

Everyone was super excited about the first day of school! They got up and dressed and off to school with NO problems. I hope this continues through the year!

Sam-2nd, Kathryn-PreK, Kendall-5th

She was so excited about school. She ran right in her classroom and picked the iPad center, so she was happy without a tear!

Kendall was embarrassed about taking this picture in front of the sign, but I thought it was cute and made them do it anyway! I walked Sam to class since it was his first day in the new school! Kendall went right on to her class since technically, she is a "senior" at Lawhon. I'm praying for a wonderful school year for these 3!

Happy Happy Birthday to Uncle Mark!!

We celebrated Uncle Mark turning another year older!! We all met in Oxford at Uncle Mark's house and cooked out and partied! We are so thankful for Uncle Mark and the joy and happiness he brings to our family! We love spending time with amazing family, and we are so thankful for the memories made!

Look at these 2 cuties!!

Sweet boy cousins! They are always outnumbered by the girls!
