Thus far in August....

I know I've been terrible about blogging lately, but things have been crazy! Sorry!! So, now let's see what interesting things I have to tell....

First, on the 9th we went to Crossville to visit Joey's family & see his dad in a riding/shooting tournament of sorts. Jim did great!! I wish my pictures had turned out, but I'll definitely get more next time. We had a lot of fun seeing everyone! Livvy especially enjoyed it there & she did so good at the show. We put earplugs in & she was perfect! As you can see from the picture, the girls were inseperable.

Janele, Livvy, & Jalene at the shoot!

Then, on the 10th we came back home & went to meet Baby David! He's adorable! We've visited a few times since & he's just getting more handsome everyday! Livvy loves to check him out. I can't wait for them to grow up together & get to the age where they can actually play together!

Baby David's so little!! Livvy used to be...

Handsome!

The last couple of weeks has been pretty uneventful. Joey's been sick again, & still is today.(I'll spare him the picture posting.) He's never really been 100% since he got sick back in February. His immune system just has a very low tolerence right now. He's missed work a few times because of it, & now that school started this week it's making it even harder. I have to admit, we've both been frustrated because we can't make him better & we're both a litte stressed about it. This is something I feel terrible about. But with the Lord's help, maybe I'll learn to be more patient & calm & not to bite other's heads off when I'm worked up, including Joey's. I need to learn that sometimes things are out of my control. We're just hoping that he's able to recooperate & get back to his normal self again very soon! I miss seeing him smiling & joking around. I hate seeing him in pain or not feeling well & knowing there's not really anything I can do to help. But the Lord's watching over him & we're thankful for all the help our family has been.

During this hectic week while Joey's been so sick, I got a major haircut. It's really short for me, & I don't think I've ever had it quite this short. But I really like it & it's super easy to keep up. My friend Allison did an amazing job!(Thanks Alli!) Also, we celebrated my 20th birthday! Well, we didn't celelbrate really. I worked while he went to school & came home sick, then I went to WalMart to get a prescription. But that's ok! Saturday, my family took us to dinner at Wasabi's. Poor thing, Joey tried to eat & pretend to be happy but he was miserable. Then I made another trip to Walmart for something he could hold down. Then today, I headed to church while he rested then came home & tried to nurse him back to health. My Mom made me a birthday cake & they all sang to me. I can't tell you how thankful I am to have a wonderful family & circle of friends! Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes!!

The only picture I have for now. Sorry!

As for Livvy, she went to the doctor for her 4mo check up this week. He says she's right on schedule for everything & is in the 95% for weight & height. She'll be tall just like her Daddy! Right now, she loves to try to talk, sing, & shake her booty!

Livvy chillin' & chattin'!!

Looks like that's about it for now. Nothing too eventful. Just another few weeks in our crazy lives!
