fun while it lasted

Unless you're living here, experiencing it for yourself, you'd never guess these pictures of us in short sleeves, basking in the sun, were taken just a few days ago. Not even 24 hours later, these swings were covered in 6 inches of snow! I don't know how much more my summer lovin heart can take of this bi-polar Utah weather. We get these random days of warmth and I get my hopes up, just to have them dashed to pieces with a 40 degree drop in temps. I'm longing for summer in a major way.

And I'm not the only one. My poor little boy wants to be outside all day long. He doesn't understand why one day I leave the door open to our deck and let him roam in and out for hours but then the next day I tell him it's too cold.

Yes, I've lived in Utah almost my entire life. Yes, I know this happens every year. And yes, every year around this time I swear I'm moving. Yet I'm still here. Still complaining about the 6+ months of winter. Just let me ok?

Here's to hoping summer (cause we all know spring is just about non-existent in these parts) is coming sooner rather than later!
