I claim: 1. A bucket lifting device for facilitating lifting and tipping of a bucket, said device comprising: a sleeve receiving a bottom end of the bucket, wherein said sleeve extends around a portion of the bucket; a handle being coupled to said sleeve, said handle being graspable to facilitate lifting and tipping of the bucket when said sleeve receives the bottom end of the bucket; and a second sleeve being positioned around the bucket opposite said sleeve, wherein said second sleeve extends around a portion of the bucket, a portion of said second sleeve adjacent a top edge of said second sleeve protrudes outwardly to form a pour spout, said flour spout facilitating directing of a flow liquid from the bucket when the bucket is tipped, said second sleeve including a pair of terminal ends defining a split therebetween to permit expansion and contraction of said second sleeve to accommodate buckets of varying sizes, said terminal ends being positioned diametrically opposite said pour spout. 2. The device according to claim 1, wherein said sleeve includes a pair of terminal ends defining a split therebetween to permit expansion and contraction of said sleeve to accommodate buckets of varying sizes, said handle being positioned diametrically opposite said split in said sleeve. 3. The device according to claim 2, further comprising a latch assembly being coupled to said sleeve, said latch assembly being actuated to compress said sleeve against the bucket to secure said sleeve to the bucket. 4. The device according to claim 3, wherein said latch assembly includes a receiving nub being coupled to said sleeve adjacent one of said terminal ends. 5. The device according to claim 4, wherein said latch assembly includes a lever being hingedly coupled to said sleeve adjacent one of said terminal ends and positioned across said split from said receiving nub. 6. The device according to claim 5, wherein said latch assembly includes a cinching ring being pivotally coupled to said lever, said cinching ring being extended across said split and extending around said receiving nub, said cinching ring drawing said terminal ends together to compress said sleeve around the bucket when said lever to pivoted towards said sleeve. 7. The device according to claim 1, wherein said sleeve includes a base wall and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from said base wall, said base wall abutting the bottom end of the bucket when said sleeve receives the bottom end of the bucket, said peripheral wall extending along the portion of the bucket when the bottom end of the bucket abuts said base wall. 8. The device according to claim 1, further comprising a latch assembly being coupled to said sleeve, said latch assembly being actuated to compress said sleeve against the bucket to secure said sleeve to the bucket. 9. A bucket lifting device for facilitating lifting and tipping of a bucket, said device comprising: a sleeve receiving a bottom end of the bucket, wherein said sleeve extends around a portion of the bucket, said sleeve including a pair of terminal ends defining a split therebetween to permit expansion and contraction of said sleeve to accommodate buckets of varying sizes, said sleeve including a base wall and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from said base wall, said base wall abutting the bottom end of the bucket when said sleeve receives the bottom end of the bucket, said peripheral wall extending along the portion of the bucket when the bottom end of the bucket abuts said base wall; a handle being hingedly coupled to said sleeve, said handle being graspable to facilitate lifting and tipping of the bucket when said sleeve receives the bottom end of the bucket, said handle being positioned diametrically opposite said split in said sleeve; a latch assembly being coupled to said sleeve, said latch assembly being actuated to compress said sleeve against the bucket to secure said sleeve to the bucket, said latch assembly comprising; a receiving nub being coupled to said peripheral wall adjacent one of said terminal ends; a lever being hingedly coupled to said peripheral wall adjacent one of said terminal ends and positioned across said split from said receiving nub; and a cinching ring being pivotally coupled to said lever, said cinching ring being extended across said split and extending around said receiving nub, said cinching ring drawing said terminal ends together to compress said sleeve around the bucket when said lever to pivoted towards said sleeve.
