4!!!!

ALYVIA IS 4!!!! Yes, you heard me right, my baby is 4 years old! How did this happen and where did the time go!?!
Livie had quite the celebration week...with a birthday party in Idaho and 2 more here, she really enjoyed herself.



We weren't just celebrating her birthday either....Livie had her MRI and she is tumor free, YAYAY!!! (she'll keep having MRI's every 4 months because those blasted tumors like to grow back) Not only was her MRI good news, but she 'passed' her other tests as well. Livie doesn't have blood clots in her brain and there is no signs of stroke. phew! What a blessing. It was a very good day at Primary's. (And we like those days!) Livie did have some breathing issues coming out of the anesthesia from the MRI, but nothing too big. I am just soooo thankful there was no sign of the tumor growing back.
As I reflect on the these 4 years of Livie's life, it is very hard not to get tears in my eyes. I know every mom says this, but I really do have one special little girl (: She has been through a lot and continues to amaze me with the things she has overcome.It is so fun to watch Livie grow up, to watch her learn and to see her fun personality. She also has quite the sense of humor and makes me smile everyday with the things she says and does.She has taught me a lot in the 4 years she's been here and there's not a day that goes by that I don't thank the Lord that Livie is still here with us.

Love you so much, Livie Bug!!! To the moon and back. And then some.

We went and played at a park for a little B-day party with some family and friends


Livie was LOVIN it!!


So cute!!






Happy Birthday Alyvia!!!

Livie wanted her Papa to play in her new tent with her...so he did!! (:
