Bro.'s :)

Yesterday I was sitting on the bed feeding Cason and of course he had fallen asleep so i went to put him in his swing when Coop asked me if he could sit and snuggle him on the bed so i said ok thats fine :) So i went down stairs to empty the washer and went up to fold it on my bed with the kids and this is what i found....

both of them sound asleep. Cooper is such a cute big brother.. I love my boys :)

Cason Andrew Rasmussen

I had baby whoppin number... 3 woooo hooooo! This is sweet Cason...

Cason Andrew Rasmussen was born on March 5, 2012 at 3:05 came in weighing 7 lbs. 9 oz. 20 in. and as Mary Poppins would say.. Perfect in every way!! This little guy has been so fun and me being his mommy couldn't I love or kiss him anymore then I already do :) I found out I was pregnant with Cason on my Grandpa's birthday July 9, 2011. Chad really didn't want to find out what Cason was which made being pregnant a guessing game and also made labor really exciting!! I wasn't too shocked that it was a Boy!! Cooper was super excited that Cason was a boy and LOVES him so much :) the minute I had Cason the kids came over and all they wanted to do was hold him :)

It really is so amazing to have a baby come into this world!! My labor and delivery went so smooth this time. Couldn't ask for a better epidural or better delivery :) I was in labor for 5 hours. Decided to be induced a week early due to my painful varicose veins.. but all in all I'm so glad and so grateful I have such a perfect healthy little Boy!! and I'm so grateful to be his mommy... I love my 3 babies so much. They mean the world to me. I'm so grateful to a loving Heavenly Father to let me take care of a few of his children and not also teach them but to show them how important it is to have the gospel in their life. so here we are.. a family of 5!!

on the scale... :)

First time holding my sweet baby boy

Outnumbered by the Boys!

We all bought these awesome "Pass of all Passes" and this was one of the events we got to go. I loved watching the cars race.. just the loud vrooooom noise was a thrill.. So glad we went and had a blast!! (p.s. notice Cason's cute head band! lol cute baby!! thx Lynds)

I love that they play so well together!!

i was laughing so hard... lol :)

Lucy looks so little..

and then BOOM!!... Iron man :)

5 YEARS.. May 23, 2010

Wow! Time flies... Chad and i have been married for 5 years now. We decided to Celebrate and take the kids to Lyndsay's over the weekend. We went and stayed at"Little America" down town. First we went out to eat at Rodizio's :) mmmm.. so yummy!! Then we went and checked into our room.. Watched a few non-kid movies ;) and went for a late night run to get a yummy shake :) and ended up getting this yummy lemonade and choc. chip cookies instead!! We both found it weird with just the 2 of us since we are with the kids 24-7 but it was a nice get away.. even though it was just over night!! The next morning we went to breakfast at the restaurant inside " Little America" talk about delicious- so fun!! Chad is such a wonderful hubby who supports our family to no end :) he would do anything for me and I Love him more then i tell him. Each year he gives me Flowers but it's special because i only get as many flowers for how many years we are married so this year i got 5 Roses.. I love how romantic flowers are.. and I LOVE it when Chad gives me flowers. For our 5 year he gave me this special Necklace... it is a charm necklace that has a C and L on it for Cooper and Lucy or it can mean Love Chad.. or whatever i can come up with. hahaha :) It was so thoughtful and touched my heart... I love you Chad! Can't imagine my life with out you.....

Our newest addition...

(I was writing this blog when i was interrupted by my cute kids but looks like i get to finish it.. and a lot has changed)

We bought a PUPPY! Meet the newest member of our family. This is Scooter. :) He is a darling Mini Schnauzer :) We got the runt of the litter he was from. It was about 7:00 on October 13th, 2011 I had been looking online at puppy's when we came across this cute little litter of puppies so i called and sooner then we knew we were in the car on our way to get him. When we got there, this little guy had some personality and like all dog ppl say "came right to us" :) Chad always grew up with dogs and we really wanted to get one for the kids. I never grew up with any pets so we were out to get something other then a fish :) lol.. We looked at a few animal shelters for one but all of them were big and we are only allowed to have a small dog where we are currently renting plus i wanted to see what this whole "puppy love" thing was!! So.. I love him. We got Scooter when he was almost 6 weeks old and then learned we prob got him a week too early. He wouldn't eat anything and missed his mommy horribly :( broke my heart. He slept in our bed for a little while until he decided to pee in it.. lol so that's when he got booted and learned to love his kennel. He's been a really fun puppy and has potty trained really well. :) He is also very picky and particular about his food.. but most of all the kids love him.. They both fight over who gets to hold him.. but surprisingly not on who gets to take him out.. lol.. that's where i come in the picture. He is super cute and just a sweet puppy who loves to just sit and cuddle.. and lick the water that falls out of the shower :)

So we got Scooter neutered in Jan.2012 and then learned 3 mo. later that he had been sick and had been suffering for a little bit. Cute Scooter developed horrible, i mean HORRIBLE BREATH! I am not talking about the normal dog breath. I can handle that. I could not handle this breath, he always hung his mouth open so i could constantly smell it too. Especially being pregnant. I decided to take him to Petco to get his teeth clean when they told me to get him to the Animal Hospital immediately. So after taking him and figuring out everything hindsight of having him and looking at Scooter as a puppy and the horrible breath, the pickyness of food, the constant laziness all came down to one thing :( Scooter had been sick and looking was probably born this way. He was diagnosed with Rubber Jaw. Rubber jaw in big words means he could have had either cancer or kidney failure. The Vet was pretty sure it was kidney failure. Scooter had all the signs and with him being such a picky eater i learned he just didn't feel good. :( When we first got him he would do the typical "puppy patterns" and was an energetic puppy but that didn't last for long. So with all the tough decisions we decided it was best to let Scooter go to puppy heaven. :( You really don't realize how much you love something until you have to let it go... So we said our good bye's and cried... and cried. We love You Scooter. So Sorry you were sick! We Love and Miss you!!

This was Scooters typical look.. Always had his tongue out :)
