Bay Weekend
We finally got away. After months and months on DT working and working and working, we’ve finally took a small weekend trip to the bay. I can only tell you how great it felt to set foot out of the car and smell the salty, breezy, air of Carancahua bay. We had beautiful weather, though […]
Monkeying Around Revisited
The boys spotted their monkey Halloween costumes from their first Halloween hanging in their closet. DT decided to let them try them on, much to our surprise they still fit, barely. But ever since the boys want to wear them constantly, and eat bananas, hmmm. You might remember here and they even won at the […]
“Cow” boy Trucker
DT was called to duty of loving son last weekend, when a cow of his dad’s had escaped from his pasture into a neighboring pasture and his Dad needed help getting her back in. DT wasn’t very excited about this endeavor. I mean have you ever tried to “lead” a cow anywhere? Its not the […]
Four Christmases
Four Christmas celebrations we had this year, each different but yet each filled with great food, family, laughter and love. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful families. *beware picture overload* Starting off we headed to Houston to spend Christmas Eve at my grandmother’s house. The boys were set with their favorite books and […]
Giant Water Bug

Duck Hunters
The boys had a great time for Halloween this year. They went as duck hunters, ducks, face paint and all. We went trick or treating to a few houses, but the boys had fun, and mostly fun running around and loved being chased. DT even joined in on the fun, except he had a slight […]
Our First Date
5 years ago tonight was our first date. I thought I would tell the funny story of our first date. But first a little back ground: I was 22 and attending what some might call a party school good ole Southwest Texas Texas State University located in San Marcos (SM). (a piece of my heart […]
Boys and their Toys
Each time DT gets home from hauling, the boys get so excited! They scream and squeal, and jump and call Daddy Daddy Daddy, Truck, vroom, vroom, ride. So Daddy meets us at the door and gladly takes the boys to sit and play in the truck These pictures don’t do justice to how excited and […]
Grease Monkeys
One of the pitfalls of being a Trucker’s son, is that you get to do all of daddy’s grunt truck work. Like greasing Daddy’s tires It’s really hard messy work, with lots of supervision from Bubba and Skeeter. but one thing is for sure we love it! Even when we squeeze in between the tires […]
Trucker Cookies
A good friend of mine and fellow mother of twins Dory makes beautiful cookie and cookie bouquets. So for DT’s birthday I decided to have some trucks made. She did a great job, so much detail and they taste excellent soft and buttery with a hint of almond, yum. DT was so surprised he really […]
