Cassia turns 2..........

Cassia's birthday pictures are at the bottom of the post! I always forget which way they load!

I am not yet use to having 5 daughters! It is a lot of work and I am exahusted! I had a melt down this week I think I cried all morning! I finally broke down on the phone to Bryan and when I got off Moriah asked me why I was whinning and crying like a baby!! :-) My first reaction was to tell her I was NOT whining, but I probably was!! I also told her that mommies tend to cry when they are tired and I was very tired! I don't think the girls knew what to think, but I didn't either, so Bryan came home and my mom came and picked up the girls! I have had a cold for a few weeks now and I don't think that was helping me feel any better! I still don't feel that great but at least a little more rested. I think I will be happier the older Ellia gets! I feel bad saying that. I have read a few blogs of women who have just recently had babies as well and they are all saying how much they love having a new born and how they wish they could have a new born all the time! Not me!! I can't wait for the time to go by and for her to be older! Not that I don't enjoy cuddling with her and all that, it is just so exahausting! I never have been a 'baby' person!

People keep asking me if we are going to have more, the nurses in the hospital, the bank lady, peopel in stores, and I keep thinking to myself as I try to smile sweetly and say "we will seee" that now is really not the time to ask such a question! I just gave birth less then 3 weeks ago and am exahusted trying to take care of all 5! So please don't ask!! Ofcourse I would never say that, I just write it on my blog!! :-)

I know in time things will get better, and really some nice weather would really lift the spirits around here! We would all just love to be outside!! So I am sure that in a couple weeks once spring sets in I will write another post about how fun having 5 little girls is, right now I am too tired!! :-) Not to say we aren't having some fun!

Her are some random pictures for you to enjoy!

As I was getting this post ready I looked over at Alicia and realized that she looked ready for summer so she asked me to take her picture, so here it is! We are all so ready for spring to come and stay!

This hat came from the hospital. I would like to teach the girls to crochet and knit one day and then make hats to donate to the hospital. This one was really cute and I have enjoyed having it!

Ellia's first bath, her sister were much more excited about it then she was! Dare I write that her first bath was exactly 1 week and 1 day after she was born! The more children I have the less I bath them!! :-)

The girls made these for me the day I had Ellia. Mom said it was Victoria's idea to write ways that they could help me on the hands!
They gave them to me when they came to the hospital to see Ellia. We enjoyed showing them off to the nurses, who were all amazed that we have 5 daughters!

Some attempts at getting a picture of all 5 girls! I will try again when they are all in their Sunday best and once this weather gets nicer! I love outdoor pictures!

This one would have worked except you can't see Ellia's face, it looks like she is trying to nurse Cassia's arm!!

Last night Victoria came to our bed and said "mom do you know I haven't had any sleep yet?" It was around 3am. I told her she must have slept a little and to go back to bed, I had just been up with Ellia and was sure she was sleeping when I went back to bed. Just a few min. later Eilla woke up again so I went to nurse her back to sleep and there was Victoria again. So I told her she could go sleep with Daddy while I finished with Ellia. I wondered if she was getting sick as Alicia had thrown up at my mom's just the day before, but I was so tired I just went to sleep. Sure enough not too much longer Victoria threw up in our bed, again I was so tried I just got a towel over it and went back to sleep. I know that sounds awful, but she said it was just water and I was too tired to care or think much about it!

Victoria has only eaten part of an apple and had a little to drink, but she doesn't seem too sick. She actually told me she likes being sick becuase then she doesn't have to do anything! She is hoping to eat supper tonight so that she can have just a little piece of Cassia's birthday cake!

I am hoping no one else gets sick, especially myself and Ellia!

Now on to the birthday girl..............

Here is my new 2 year old! This is the first time we are not having people over or really doing anything for one of the girls birthdays. I did make a cake but that is it! I don't even have a present for her, she doesn't care but her sister feel bad for her and want to make something!

I did take some birthday pictures today and that is one thing I usually forget!

Cassia is definetly the life of our family. She makes us all laugh and keeps us all in line. I am having to dicipline alittle more now as all those cute things she says and does aren't so cute the second time! I do think we all tend to spoil her which makes me wonder how Ellia will turn out!

She is just such a cutie! She kept saying cheese for all the pictures I took. She can count to 10 and knows the alphabet. She has memorized lots and lots of songs, she always surprises me when she starts singing. She loves to keep up with her sisters doing anything and everything they do.

We have so much fun with this little girl and though she is definetly keeping me on my toes these days we wouldn't trade her for anything!

I love that she is our "brown sheep"! With her dark skin and brown hair, she is just missing the brown eyes!

Happy 2nd Birthday Cassia Boo!!
