Exciting things!

Life has been so busy as of late. However, we have been having a lot of fun and doing a lot of exciting things. School is going great for me. I am still loving 1st grade! It is seriously the best. They are so cute. Last week we were reading a book about Christopher Columbus and there was a part in the story where it said the crew members on the ship were mad at Columbus and wanted to throw him overboard into the ocean and leave him there, one of my little boys made the loudest gasp ever and with the saddest little face said, "That is not nice!" I started laughing and I said you are right, that is not nice at all. This was the same little boy who threw an eraser at a little girls eye and when he was told that she could have gone blind he said, "Well it would have been okay, she has another eye." He was 100% serious too!I just love that little boy. Another one of my boys, when writing to my student of the week said, "Dear Cassiah, I think you are nice and maybe a little bit smart. I can't tell if you are smart though because your paper is turned the other way and I can't read upside down. I also can't read with my eyes closed." Seriously! Where do they get this stuff!
Tagg is staying super busy with school and work and doing all of the other things he does for me that I can't do right now. I seriously have the best husband ever. He does the cooking, cleaning, laundry, and all the other little random things that come up during the week that I can't do. He is getting excited to graduate in April.
So, Tagg calls me on Friday and says that this car dealership was doing a big slasher sale and he found a car we could buy for 250 bucks. We wanted to get a cheap second car so Tagg would have something to drive in the winter to get to work. We went and looked at it when I got home from school. It is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. It is a 1991 Subaru Legacy stationwagon. We ended up buying it that evening and Tagg is already attached and loving his new ride, Edna. He named her Edna because when he saw her the first time and sat in the drivers seat, there was a pink flowery pillow on the seat and the seat was pushed all the way forward like an old lady had been driving it.

Here is our new Kia. Tagg named him Rosco

Rosco and Edna together

One exciting thing we are looking forward to is going on a cruise over Thanksgiving! I have the best parents ever and they are taking the fam on a cruise because by April everyone in my family including the spouses will have either graduated with their Bachelors or Masters degree.
So, as you can see, life is great, fun and busy!
Here is a photo of when we went camping with some great friends.

The next few photos were actually taken in August at the Logan Temple when we got home from New York. We picked raspberries from my grandpa's garden and then went to the temple grounds to eat them.


Tagg surprised me when I got home from school one day with a brisket dinner. He had everything set up when I got home. So CUTE! We had to move inside unfortunately though because the bees wanted to get a piece of the yummy brisket too.
