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 [...]

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 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 [...]

Annual Bay weekend

June 22, 2011

Last weekend was our annual Bay weekend trip. Oh, can I tell you how good it felt to get away. A weekend full of family, eating tons, good drinks and relaxing. I could seriously get used to that. I didn’t take as many pictures as I usually do. We were so busy having fun and relaxing. Enjoying [...]

A Weekend at Home

May 31, 2011

The Memorial Day holiday has me all confused, so I missed Menu Plan Monday, and my usual recipe on Tuesdays. We spent the weekend at home, oh was it a glorious weekend. Lots of playing outside, enjoying the hot weather, playing with the boys and cooking from the garden. The boys loved playing on the slip [...]

A Pillar in our Family

April 14, 2011

Tomorrow we lay to rest one of the greatest men I have ever known. He was a pillar in our family, so strong, smart, loving, silly and perfect. Yes, I said it. Perfect, he was and still is a perfect man in my opinion. He lived a long and full life, with a wonderful wife [...]

Cell phone free tractors

February 16, 2011

The boys will be happy for days, since we got to go ride on the tractors. Poppy and Pop-po were plowing up their rice fields to prepare for this year’s crop. And of course we took full advantage of the tractor rides. For some reason I find it funny when farmers (aka my dad and grandpa) always [...]

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 [...]

No Shame

December 1, 2010

At Thanksgiving on DT’s families side this year, Aunt Uba (DT’s sister) had the wonderful idea of bringing a karaoke machine for the kids to play with. Little H had lots of fun giving it a go, and lots of moral support from Little W, who is currently laughing at him. Did that stop H? [...]

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.
