Christmas Picture Outakes

December 8, 2011

I love decorating and taking pictures during the Christmas season. What I love even more is that the boys are so into it this year, loving every little detail. Helping and getting really excited about it all. So, being in the Christmas spirit, I decided to go ahead and take the boys’ Christmas card photos. [...]

Hand prints = Mothering fail

December 1, 2011

There are moments during motherhood where you feel you are striving, really providing, and teaching your children well. Like, when they use manners and share their toys with others. I smile, yes, I am doing something right. Then there are moments when you feel like you have completely, utterly failed. Today I am writing about [...]

Despicable Me 4th Birthday

November 23, 2011

Today is my babies’ actual 4th birthday. 4 years ago I was doing this. But, last weekend we had a fun party at our local Museum. We decided to do a Despicable Me themed party since the boys love the movie so very much. I also found this website that has the absolute best tutorials [...]

Halloween Fun

November 10, 2011

I am a little late posting these, but I couldn’t not tell you all about my little Halloween Minions. If you haven’t seen Despicable Me, run out and rent it, buy it, whatever. It is an incredibly cute movie! Our favorite characters in the movie are Dr. Gru’s Minions. There are tons of them, they are [...]

Pumpkin Patch

October 12, 2011

The pumpkins were out at our local pumpkin patch festival. Riding an antique John Deere tractor is the first stop we made. Posing for pictures wasn’t really the boys top priority. Not that you can tell or anything. We even got a couple of good family shots. The lighting wasn’t the best. I love how they [...]

A few updates

September 28, 2011

This post is just some random thoughts and pictures from the past few weeks. DT was in a friend’s wedding, another trucker friend. Check out his cute groom’s cake!! It was mint chocolate, awesome-ness. It was also at a neat old dance hall, with no A/C, but they did have this BIG ASS FAN, can you [...]

First day of Preschool

September 21, 2011

I am I am totally that kind of mother that thinks her babies will be little forever, and that with every passing day they aren’t growing or changing and learning. So when their first day of preschool (prek-3) came, needless to say, I didn’t handle it the best. This is just the first step of [...]

First day of cutting rice

August 31, 2011

It’s that time of year again. I can feel the excitement in the air, it’s the first day of cutting rice. Dad is in the combine and my brother Robert is driving the auger cart. The boys are about to jump out of the window they are so excited to ride. Dad picks up the boys [...]

Rain, Rain, Come Our Way!

August 24, 2011

It rained here in southeast Texas, first time in forever, or, as I heard on the news, Texas is in the worst recorded drought ever! Ever folks, and it rained a lot, for a good hour. Needless to say we are a bit thrilled. Rain now is almost as fun as snow in Texas and [...]

First swimming lessons

August 10, 2011

The boys had their very first swimming lessons a few weeks ago and, let me just say, it was quite the learning experience for us all. For 2 weeks Tuesday-Friday 30 minutes each day. All I could think of was how much fun the boys would have and how much they would learn. Day 1 [...]

Howdy, y’all! Welcome to my blog world. I am Sweet Pea, a 20-something Texas native and a newlywed…well, almost. We wed May 2006. Shortly after we were blessed with identical twins boys born November 2007.

My husband, whom I lovingly call Double Trouble (DT), owns and operates a trucking company, and we use our CB handles as our names here.
