Ah, the weekend...

You know those days when the weather is just perfect and all the family is home, and all you want to do is sit and soak up all the gorgeous sunshine? Well, that's exactly how I felt about last Saturday (too bad that didn't last! We got snow yesterday morning!). After all the crazy weather we've been having we finally got one nice day, perfect to be outside, and I wanted to take full advantage of it. Unfortunately, Grant planned to dedicate all day Saturday to working on the truck to pass inspection (he's actually STILL working on it as I post this). But that didn't stop us from having some nice, quality, family time. Lydia and I spread out a nice big blanket in the front yard and sat and chattered and played next to daddy as he worked.

There was a lot of this...

and this...

and this.

Lydia loves loves loves being outside. Whenever the front door opens, she makes a beeline for it. Once she gets out there, there's no turning back. She usually cries when it's time to come inside.

I love this hat! It was a hand-me-down. It's a little big for her head still, but all the hats for her age range are too small for her big noggin!

She actually had more fun just crawling around on the blanket and chasing the neighbor's cat than she did playing with her toys!

Grant worked really hard over the weekend! Plus, he was busy all day Sunday with meetings, so by the end of the night, he was wiped out.

Last night and tonight Grant has worked on the truck some more. After Lydia is in bed I've been going outside to sit with Grant to keep him company. I wimped out tonight, though. Once the sun goes down, nights in Utah get cold! I'm glad Grant is willing to work so hard for our family. It's nice that he can do it himself so we can save some money. After all the hard work he's put in today, I'm sure he'll sleep really well tonight!
