house guests

Brian came down for conference weekend.  It was so fun to have him.  He hit traffic that night so we were a little late to the BYU game, but we managed to find three tickets and get in at half time.  I'm sure glad we did, because it was a packed crowd and an incredible game.  We wedged ourselves in between some of the largest people in the stadium and watched the cougars win it in the last 11 seconds!  It sure was a fun one.

 On Saturday night, Mike joined us and with him a knack for finding preying mantis's.  Brian spotted the leaf bug on Friday and we dropped it in a jar to watch conference with us.  When Mike came, he grabbed a preying mantis just outside our door and pretty soon we had a full house.  The preying mantis watched the leaf bug intently in their neighboring jars and then eventually, Mike put them together and took some pictures...

Isn't that creepy how it's hovering over the leafy remains?
Mike took the preying mantis up to Scott and Elisha's house for Molly's bug collection.  I'm sure Elisha is thrilled.
