Labor Day Weekend

This labor day weekend we went camping w/ our good friends Scott & Kim Hewitt and thier kids to lake Hartwell Coneross Campground. They in there big camper and us in our tents.. Scott & Eric left earlier on Friday than Kim and I with all the kids so by the time we got there they basically had our homes for the weekend set up. We had plan on all 5 of us sleeping in 1 tent but we took an extra one just in case and the one we thought was bigger enough wasn't so the 1st one was Ryan & Stephen and they slept on cots and the 2nd 1 was mine, Eric's & Tyler's and the 3 of us slept on a queen blow us matteress just like home..lol






Saturday we rented a boat from 11-7 so we got up and packed lunches and got everything together and spent the day out of the lake. We went out on a tour of the lake and in a boat that went like 10 miles an hour. I believe they had a governer on it or something. People were passing us left and right. But we had a blast and alot of laughs from the "slowness" of the boat, Scott trying to flood and then he conconvice the kids it would go faster if they all moved to the back w/ us, the spider over Kim's head esp when she has a "fetish" of spider (she meant fear), Ryan trying taking driving the boat so serious and like it was a speed boat, "Ryan, TYler could drive this boat" and Tyler makeing sure that the lake does not have a drought problem. The adults, the kids and Captain Scott





We stop after lunch and let the kids jump off and swim around and I don't pictures of this cause lake girl decided she was going to jump into and swim well this boat had a ladder but guess what just like the speed of the boat the ladder was broken too sooooooooo it took alot to get back onto the boat. Then we stop again at a loading dock and the kids jump off the boat the dock and had a good time swimming, Tyler finally got in and so did Kim.. I figure out how to climb back up using the dock and the boat but Kim swam to shore and walked back..

Stephen & Tyler jumping in, Kim after her walk back and "how do we get back up"




Clemson had a home game this is how you tailgate..


My sweet baby after a long day


On Sunday we invite Ree & Sean Davis and their kids and Ginger & Tim Darwin and their kids and Kim sister Denise & Doug down to cook out w/ us. They all got there around 1 and sat around and talk, the kids played some games, Austin fish, and we took the kids over to the beah part to go swimming. The day was filled w/ good friends and good food..










At night we played Mexican Trian which is Tyler favorite thing now, Rumbix Cube and just chilled out. The older boy's played Xbox in Kim's camper.






Kim thought this was funny... she can't decide if a redneck thing or a blonde thing.. But YES I did shave my legs via solo cup w/ help from Stephen rinising out and fillng back up.. The bathhouse I didn't feel like walking back up to and I didn't want to mess Kim's bathroom up so I did it like this..



Tyler and Eric sleeping. He fell asleep early on Sunday night so on Monday he was up by 7 but mommy wasn't ready so by 8 I told him he had to go back to bed and he finally did.


Don't see this often but the boys work together to take down their tent.


We had a great time and we even made it even though I heard there was a snake near our tent Saturday afternoon and while I was showering my husband and Scott were kiling it and then they killed a mamma scoprion and its babies so 2 thinks that freak me out I still slept out in the tent and would do it again.. But next year for labor day us adults we will be on cruise... It will be a long way from sleeping in a tent and walking up to a bathhouse to begin on a boat that with everything at your finger tips... Dream, I will see you in my dreams...............

Tyler Birthday Day

On the day of Tyler's birthday we started off like him and his daddy also does... Quick backwards... Eric thinks Tyler bday should be a national holiday. On his bday he does not work and the day is devoted totally to him which has been ok but in 2 yrs it will be on a school day so I don't know what he will do then.. I have always work just a half day if I had to work so I have messed out on the morning stuff so this year I was thrill to join in. Back on to his day.... We started out at Krispy Kreme and YES the hot sign was on and they were great... Tyler order glazed, glazed w/ chocolate and glaze w/ chocolate w/ sprinkles.. YUMMY.. My idea of this since they are like glue sticking to your hips you have to have 2 to keep the hips even..lol...



After Krispy Kreme Tyler and Eric went to Lowes to build a school bus, while they were there and I wanted to give them a little daddy/son bonding time I went and had a pedi done.. They came and got me and we headed to Toy R Us to pick out his bday gift he got Mario Party for his DS and a pack of Stylus (think that is the name of of the pens for DS) he also got but that was suppose to be a surprise at his party but he has hawk ears and heard his daddy telling Mrs. Nancy at the karate place which numchuck he wanted and to hold until I got there. He heard so he got them on Friday. I have to teach my husband how to lie and tell him he was not getting them for him or he was just looking at them... Oh well, I guess it was a good thin not to get at his party cause he swings those things around.. After Toy R Us they went with me shopping to get his bday supplies. We had started out w/ a pirate theme but when I couldn't find stuff to decorate with we went to Spongebob so we got some goodies of Spongebob and stuff for goodie bags with Tyler help of what to put in them. After all that shopping we went to Ryan's after we sat down he made a comment it was not really Ryan's he wanted but Golden Carrol the one of the other side of WalMart.. Oh well sorry.. I wish I had took pictures through the day but I didn't...

We came back home intending for him to take a nap but he didn't but daddy did while I finish getting everything together and making goody bags and blogging.. Tyler played with his new game the whole time..

We left the house an hour before the party to go and get the pizza, cake, balloons and ice we decided to get the cake first.. We got to Sam's and after I had stood there on Thursday night and went over with the lady in the bakery how I wanted the cake and ask could it be done she said yes and even wrote exactly what we wanted. I get there and instead of blue cake it is a white cake, instead of Spongebob and 3 friends it is just the face of Spongebob, the border, the writing were 2 different colors and they didn't even match. The cake was UGLY... Tyler said he wanted a blue cake so he was getting a blue cake even if his bday was in 50mins.. I complain and let them know it was not about the money yes they wanted to give me that cake for half price but it was about what he wanted for his bday.. So Kim Hewitt one of my very bf came to the rescue and went back and picked up the right cake for me.. Now she did give me a hard time cause she makes cakes and they are BEAUTIFUL and DELICIOUS but we started out w/ a pirated no supplies and so we decided on a Spongebob and he had picked out what he wanted and we just went with it.. Yes, I should had gotten her to the $50 cake he wanted of Spongebob and like not getting the pictures all day this was another big regret... I have 2 more bday so I am going to her to make them a cake.. Here is the cake we wanted..



We had the birthday party at Stoneledge Park in Duncan we had never been there but had rode by and heard all about it. It is a very pretty park and I am sure we will be going back.. Then we move it over to Shipwreck Cove

Tyler w/ Macyi, you just say her name and you get the cutest smile


Tyler w/ Macyi and her sister Abby and then one of bf Caroline (couldn't get a pic to much of her brother Jake which he loves too cause he was keeping an eye on the waterpark..lol



His friends since he was 2 Sydney and Kaylen



His buddy Jonthan



His new buddy Andrew



His other new friends from church but got to know in WV Coleman & Charlee



and then it takes me an hour to warm up to you but you are my friend Katelyn



His big friend Cassie and his brother Ryan (Stephen was at 6 Flags w/ friends) were also there you might see them in background pictures. I had plan to get a group shot and and him w/ each guess but that didn't happen either. The kids played barely ate cause they were to excited to play and also were ready to go to the Shipwreck Cove Waterpark where the party was headed to next so after quickly eating pizza, ice-cream, cake and opening presents they headed over to go and play.. They all seem to love the water park it is nice small one that it kid gear.. The party in front of us was Addie Laney and all her friends came to the water park too so he got to play with the Martin and Cothran boys and The Stribling boys were there too so he had a great day and alot of good friends.








Thank you all that made his day special we love and thank you. I will have to say I a don't have ADD until it comes up event and then for some reason I do.. I was all over the place, trying to keep bees away, everybody happy, socializing, making sure all the kids have fun, and hoping I am not hurting anybody feeling for not talking to them so for now on I think we are back to the Chuckie Cheese places where they do all for you... Love the park and the water park and can't wait until next year to go back...

Happy Birthday Tyler!!!

7 years ago on August 22nd we welcome into the world a sweet precious little boy that would complete our family. His due date was 8/30 but his brothers were 2 weeks over due and our doctor told us that there was a possibility that he would be too and since they were so big that he would probably be bigger (9lb 3oz on 1 and the other was 9lbs 13oz) So he suggested that we had induce him early and that we could pick when. All we knew we wanted it on a Thursday so Eric would not have to take off alot of time. We didn't tell anyone what we were doing but Eric's parents and that was only cause they were keeping the older 2 for us. So we headed off to the hospital at 6:30am and got set up in our room. Since this was my third I got put in front of others to have the good drugs to take away the pain everything going great. I had a great and easy delivery couple of pushes and he was out.. But he was not crying, they had to get the NICU in there to suck out all the junk out of his lungs. We had a great doctor that was smiling at us and telling us the whole time that he was ok. I could see the nervous look on Eric as I was trying to hold it together for him.. Within the hour he was all check out and he was healthy and was the sweetest spitty imagine of his daddy.. He came in weighing in at 8lbs 1oz and 19 1/2 inches long.. He was the smallest of the 3 but now he is the biggest of the 3 turning 7 year today and weighing 76 solid lbs. We had names picked out for a girl and if a boy we were going to name Jacob Levi but at the time Ryan play on a baseball team w/ 6 Jake or Jacob so the day we found out he was a he and not a she I cry cause I felt Eric wanted a girl and also cause I didn't want to name him Jake and Levi didn't sound right w/ the other 2 names.. So after assuring me having a boy was ok and we could change the name I was ok.lol... Tyler was actually a name I thought of for the other 2 but didn't and Eric thought it was a cool name so we were going to name him Tyler Jacob at first and call him TJ but we decided that him and his daddy needed the same middle name and we name him Tyler Eric Glover.



Tyler has been such a sweet spirited child in the beginning I wonder about that consider he would not sleep unless you were holding him or on his stomach which was a no-no, he stayed sicked w/ respiratory problems up until he was 2 which only 1 doctor out of our group said he would since we had that panic attack in the delivery room all the others said it was not related maybe that is why we only want to see her. He has had tube put in his ears his abnoize (?) taken out and believe it or not he still has his tonsils after all the strep thoart he has had. But since he was 2 1/2 he has been great w/ not much sickness at all.



I did get spend a year at home with him when he was 3 and I was truly thankful for that.I miss those Tyler mommy days now especially since he has grown into being a daddy boy through and through. He looks like his daddy and acts like him too... He is a very special little boys to us. His best friend beside his daddy is his brother Stephen which by the way didn't want him at first cause he was a boy and not a girl so he would not really have much to do with him but on most days his order is daddy and mommy and Stephen has to fight for 2nd. Ryan is also a good big brother to him but "Bo" gets down on his level plays with him. Stephen did tell me one time that he was going to make sure that Tyler was 10 worst than him and sometimes I think he is doing that, they have alot of similar esp an hour before bed him is his hyper time and then with in 10 mins he is out like a light, his humor, confidence, the ability to get under Ryan skin they are 2 peas in a pod sometimes... Watch out when they get together...



Tyler loves God/Jesus you can't say 1 without the other, his sweet thang that he just adores is Macyi he met last year in his K-5 class (which another thing we did hold him back a year cause of birthday being the week school started back one of the best things we ever did). If you want to see him really smile with the dimples and squint eyes just say Macyi, he loves karate, football and soccer and is excited to to play baseball next year, he is friends with everyone, but is shy until he gets his comfort level and once that happens he can be loud and all boy. His daddy says he takes after me w/ all the talking he does. He is solid when he was 1 his daycare nick name him Tank cause they would build blocks and he would knock them over, he is not scare of most things except for spiders, don't think he likes sheet on the bed cause he takes them off all the time, loves to build things w/ his daddy, playing basketball w/ Bo, play the playstation w/ Ryan and curl up w/ mommy. He didn't want a brother or sister until last year and now we don't want our kids to be 7 yrs apart again but he prays for a baby sister. He is smart and loves to learn, you might not think he is listening but he is, can be hardheaded (that his daddy) only gets ill if tired (another daddy thing). Funny, handsome,outgoing and caring.. We love you little man and you have made our family complete and entertaining for the last 7 year. Love you lil man!!!!!!!
