Fun in the...rain?

We had a great Memorial Weekend despite the fact that it was thundering and pouring down buckets of rain the whole time. Hugh came up for a visit and so we had him bring Jane over on Friday night for a game of settlers! The game was the first of three this weekend (all of which to Hugh's utter dismay, Charles won :)It was so fun to meet Jane! She is such an awesome girl! It was really fun to spend the weekend with both of them.





On Saturday my brother cam over to do his laundry. As soon as he got here the power went out. It took about an hour to get it back so we had fun singing campfire songs and playing card games! :)

It was actually sunny when we went to church on Sunday. We had quite the experience on the way home! It seemed as though these giant bugs were flying at us from all sides. I couldn't figure out what it was since there were so many of them. It turned out we were driving through a flock of Monarch butterflies! We pulled over to watch them go by. It was an incredible experience! I couldn't believe how many there were. We drove through them from the temple all the way back to our apartment. (That's about 1 mile)


Sunday night Hugh decided to impress Jane with his culinary skills and made us some delicious chicken enchiladas! Other than almost starting a grease fire things went pretty well. :)


Monday Charles and I both felt a bit under the weather but still had fun cooking Hugh and Jane breakfast!
As a side note, Hugh and Charles both wore white t-shirts on Sunday so on Monday when Hugh walked in with the same baby blue colored shirt that Charles had on I couldn't help but take this picture. they didn't even plan it.



To top the weekend off we went to see Iron Man! It was so awesome! Definitely worth seeing!

Whoa, Charles won all three games, huh? Impressive! Sounds like he's ready to be put in his place by the master! *beating my chest*

Haha, I'm completely jealous of your weekend. :)


And I have a song for you!
It's called "The Call" by Regina Spektor (it's on my playlist)
It was the song at the end of Prince Caspian.
