Happy Birthday to Mia!

Mia turned 3 yesterday. For one reason or another,
she requested a cow cake.

Here's Mia playing a rousing game of

Pin the Tail on the Donkey.

Libbie was the "super star" at school last week.

Mallory looking especially sweet!

Just some pictures

Here is Mallory with her new hair-do. I got it in
two full pig tails today. Yay! The mullet is ending!

We took a quick family photo on Sunday morning.

We are all looking at the camera so that's what really counts.

What a Gymnast!

Here is my little gymnast Mia. She is loving it and is really mastering the sommersault! This is Mia in her new leotard. Last week she informed me her teacher's name was leotard - she is quite the kid!

What form she has on the uneven bars. I'm pretty sure she's got quite the career ahead of her.

Mia and Mals have been hanging out quite a bit since Libbie started school. They are looking a little mischievous here.

Sweet Thang!

This is just a cute picture of Mals I couldn't resist putting on here.

Libbie's First Day of School

Libbie on her first day of school. Cute!

Well, we Cardons have been pretty busy this past week. Libbie started kindergarten on Wednesday, and Mia started gymnastics. I guess I am already a geeky mom because Libbie would really prefer to walk to the bus stop by herself. She also doesn't give a rusty one that I am there to greet her when she gets off the bus. I think it's safe to assume she is adjusting to her new life quite well. It was sure a hoot to watch Mia try to do tricks at gymnastics. Those teachers must be full of patience. We also got to enjoy a fun and crowdless day at Hogle Zoo with Nathan's parents, sister, and Marci and Gavin (minus the part where Gavin did a nose dive into the turkey cage and cut his lip).
