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 [...]

Paci Fairy

July 13, 2011

Paci’s, Pacifiers, Binkies, cha-cha’s, all the names for the boys Paci’s over the years. I have a love/hate relationship with them. Love that they comfort them and they slept so well with their paci’s, hated the fact that they needed them and they are 3 1/2 years old!!! The boys, on the other hand, purely [...]

Gator Park

May 18, 2011

As I like to call it, or Brazos Bend State Park. A really fun place to visit on a cool Tuesday morning. Mom and I have been to this park several times, never to see an Alligator except at the visitor’s center, but none in the wild. So my goal was to see at least [...]

Spring is in the Air

February 25, 2011

At least here, as we’ve been hatching a lot of chicks on the “farm”. Just about every week a new set is hatching. The boys really love watching the chicks hatch. See the egg is fully zipped around the shell and just about to pop out! Little W eagerly awaiting the chick to hatch. Little [...]

Toy Organization

January 26, 2011

The boys’ closet and toys have been neglected for some time now. As embarrassing as it is to say, we used laundry baskets to throw their toys in, no organization, just whatever went where ever. It was a mess. A huge, annoying, thorn in my side mess. I finally had enough. After their birthday and Christmas our house [...]

Little Blue Piper

January 19, 2011

In our household chicks come and go, lots of them. The boys have had quite the experience with them, you might remember this and this. But this little chick hatched all by herself, no little chickie bubbas or sissies. So of course she was a little spoiled. We named her Piper, (I was watching too [...]

Oh, Christmas Tree!

December 8, 2010

This Christmas the boys are 3 and very interested in helping decorate their own tree. I simply set out their ornaments and they started decorating. They took the job very seriously and loved hanging the ornaments, wherever they would stay. Which resulted in some unique decorating tricks. While they were decorating their tree I was [...]

3 years of silly faces and sweet kisses

November 23, 2010

*Be sure to stop by the Meal Planning Giveaway this week* Happy 3rd Birthday Boys! So much has been packed into your three years of life. Much more than I will ever remember, therefore I blog. My memory of your first 6 months are a bit foggy, what a change we had been through, going [...]

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.

I however recently converted from a working mom to a stay-at-home mom. I love the new challenges that it brings and enjoy sharing my triumphs, messes, and adventures with you. I hope you enjoy reading about our busy lives with babies, cooking, gardening, trucking, and bargain shopping.
