A day at the Rice fields
I am glad I know a few, good, hard working men in my life. You know the kind that drive big tractors, combines and trucks. The hardworking, sweaty kind. The kind that don’t mind getting dirty or a little physical work. The kind that have callused, dirt, engraved hands. The kind that wear wranglers and […]
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 […]
In a funk
I am in a funk….. I don’t want to do taxes, I don’t want to cook, I don’t want to blog, well not like I use to anyways. And if you’ve read my blog for any amount of time this is serious people, I normally love to cook, and blog. Taxes well that’s another story. […]
“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 […]
Giant Water Bug
*Be Sure to enter my Pioneer Women Cookbook Giveaway, click here for details.* The other night around 10:30 at night DT was working on his truck outside and I was peacefully enjoying a glass of wine and catching up on some good TV. When DT runs into the house screaming, Come see this!! Then I […]
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 […]
Wii
Last week we drove up to the lovely Texas Hill country to visit some family and friends. We had a great time and the boys had a blast playing with their cousins. Like little Jack he is 2 1/2 and a super cute cuddle bug! They had a blast playing outside while Maw-Maw pulled them […]
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 […]
