Cassidy turns FIVE!!

May showers have helped the craft bug get busy! At least with Cassidy’s birthday preparations.  I decided to make matching outfits for Cass and her cousin, Reagan, who will be sharing a birthday party this year! It will probably be rare that we’ll live this close to family again for a while so we’d better make the best of the time we have here.  And Reagan & Cassidy were stoked when we asked them if they wanted to share a party! The Little Gym is taking the pressure off of us parents and running the whole party.  We show up with cake and kids and they do the rest – whoo hoo! The pictures make the shirts look red, but they’re hot pink – a fave of both girls!

Cassidy is over the moon excited that tomorrow is her birthday.  I can’t help but recall how exhausted I felt this night 5 years ago – we hurried around the house trying to get things ready for the movers to come the next morning (we were moving into base housing to get things settled before the baby got here! ha!).  Having no idea that at 2 am my water would break (in the bed) and that by 5:01 a.m. we’d be parents of a petite 6#8oz baby girl who felt her due date of May 31st was a bit too far away!  And for my first Mother’s Day, I got to bring our little baby girl home ~ truly an unforgettable moment.  Our lives have never been the same and I thank GOD for that! Sweet baby Cassidy, why do you have to be 5 years old already!?!?  You are such a loving, caring and bright little girl – so tender (and bossy) with your brothers, so polite and thankful – we are soo blessed to have you as the little Momma in our family!
