Prom, growth spurts, and love!

Tonight has been kinda rough. Lyvi bug hasnt felt well all day. We took her temp and she didnt have too much of a fever, but we gave her some medicine just in case and stripped her down to her diaper. She did fine up until about an hour ago. Didnt have a fever, but she was sweating, my guess was the house was too hot and she was too uncomfy. She is now laying beside me not wanting to sleep... I'm just glad shes not cryin anymore.

I started playin co-ed softball with Josh. First game wasnt my best...I havent played in 2years and you could say I was a little nervous. I'm like the smallest girl ever there- hope I dont get line drived or knocked out! We play again Thursday, I know I'll do better; no more first game jitters!

I love Devon more and more each day...We have been absolutely WONDERFUL lately and I cant get enough of it! We agree on more, listen to each other, go do things as a family while trying to save a little to get our own place. We went shoppin at Easton Friday cuz I got my tax returns. Cowgirl boots, shorts, a few tanks and a summer dress, plus some amazing smelling perfume! And we got him a nice new shirt :] It was such a nice night to be out and about. Lyvi stayed up the whole time; she loved all the lights and commotion.

Yesterday was my, I cant believe it, brother's junior prom. I went over to my mom's to help him get ready cuz she was at a volleyball tourney in Wittenburg (that lady is busier than anyone I know, bless her heart). I took pictures, and of course got a little emtional; my little bro isnt so little anymore! Well, he's always been big, but younger than me...and he turns 17 Sunday. Then my little sister turns 15 the 17th! We're all closer than ever I think...they adore Alyvia. Especially Jacob, who is 7. He gives her kisses and tells everyone "i love her" :] So cute. He'll be more like a big brother to her. My mom and I are becoming best friends. I am so happy about it, especially after the long, hard past 20 years of my life. She has been thru more than anyone I know and is the strongest mother/woman/person I know in this world. I love visiting with her, I need to do it more often than just once a week.

Dev worked last night, so we were just lazy all day today before he went BACK to work at 7pm. Errr I hate that he's gone so much, but I understand (at least try). He has next Saturday off for my cousins wedding... I'm pretty excited about that. We'll see some family we havent seen in a while. The reception is at Elk's in Circleville, and thats an option for me and dev's wedding, so we're gonna decide if we like it or not.

Oh! And Lyvi bug got her shots Tuesday. They went pretty well...she only cried for about 3 minutes. She now weighs 10.4 1/2 pounds and is 22inches long! She is growin, growin, growin! She never fails to amaze devon and me. She laughs and smiles constantly, kicks and dances all the time too! That little booger is my reason for breathing :]

This next week isnt very eventful. I gotta do some more job searching... wish me luck!

This is what life's all about.

For starters, Happy (late) Easter!

Friday, Dev, Me and Lyvi went out to eat with Adam and his girlfriend Jolie. She's the complete oppostie of anyone he's ever dated before, and I liked her a lot! Champs is where we decided to go, Mmm Mmm Mmm! It was a fun night. Speaking of Adam, he bought Dev's bike! Hallelujah! I know dev was kinda sad, and so was I, but he understood that it had to be done for the sake of our family. And plus, at least somebody he knows bought it. It will save us like $400+ a month. That much closer to gettin our own place!

Saturday was when we had to celebrate Lyvi bug's first easter cuz dev had to work on Sunday. We went and got her picture taken with the Easter bunny, came home and I made a yummy dinner, colored easter eggs, and gave lyvi her first Easter basket! She obviously didnt exactly know what was going on, but it was still fun!

Sunday I went to church then headed to mom's house. We went out to eat at Texas Roadhouse; again Mmm Mmm Mmm! She got lyv an Easter basket too, then I visited with my friend Lacey and her little girl Alaina. She is expecting a baby boy in 3 weeks! So exciting. When I got home, Tash and Josh were here. We visited for a little, and I gave them a bag of clothes lyv was growin out of already. Ahh she's gettin so big.

The past 2 days have been lazy ones. Dev took the day off yesterday, thank god, I've missed just cudldin all day. He had to go to the fire house last night, works during the day today, but will be home tonight! Lyvi is currently wakin up from a nap. She slept through the ENTIRE night for the FIRST time last night!!! I was so proud of her. :)

I get quite a bit of money back from tax returns! Happy about that, but some of it has to go to stupid Kent State. But with the rest of it, I'm gonna start tanning, get some cowgirl boots, and a few spring/summer outfits. Dev needs some clothes too.

I'm gonna start workin in the beginning of June, once my mom and Talea get out of school so they can take turns watchin her every other week. Then hopefully soooooooooon after that, we'll get our own place and start savin a little for the wedding!

I think thats the jist of it. See ya!

Year full of Blessings :]

SO, you all probably already know, but Aunt Tasha is gonna be a mommy to a gorgeous little girl in August! Lyvi is excited; she was full of smiled today, and I'm sure she can't wait to meet her little cousin! I am so excited for her and Josh... that little girl is gonna have 2 of the best parents in the world :]

Alyvia Grace is growin like a darn weed... Dev was almost in tears the other night because its already gone by too fast. She gets more beautiful by the minute. A few of her outfits are already getting too small... it makes me sad. But, what can ya do? Her next dr appt is April 21st. It'll be her 2 month check up so that means its time for shots.. ahhh!! I'll probably cry just as much as she will.

Dev has to work on her first Easter, I'm pretty upset about that, but he's trying to give up the first 12 of his 24 hrs. I think we might take her to see the Easter bunny Friday night, since Dev has to work both Saturday and Sunday.

My momma's birthday is tomorow, and I'm gonna visit her at work on Friday. Thats what she wants for her present, lol.

And tomorrow I think I'm gonna take Lyvi bug to Slate Run park. Its supposed to be gorgeous!
