Too Cute Thursday....

Cruisin' with my kitty.....

Please forgive my bedhead look!  It's playtime!!

Missing in action....

Life has been crazy at the farm the last 2 weeks.  We successfully ripped out the old kitchen and are almost done putting back in the new one.  I'm sore, I'm tired but it is looking beautiful.  I can't wait until we get our counter tops next Wednesday.  I'll share some pics soon, I promise.

I've also taken a little time to do a little overdue crafting.  I'm gonna work on getting a tutorial put together to share with everyone for these fairy princess wands I made for the little princess.  Hope everyone is having a terrific week!

I'm sure she was watching the weather channel here, it's her favorite.
 P.S.  Please ignore the laundry in the background.  I'm still holding
my breath for that maid to show up soon.

What's for dinner?

We're heading on over to the Dillon household for spaghetti.  This is what happened last time we fed the princess spaghetti.  Tonight I plan to feed her naked.  Dear Dillon's, you have been warned!!

Vista Lights!!

Last Thursday Farmer Roy and I took the Little Princess out to downtown Columbia for Vista Lights. On the way there, we realized this is the 4th year in a row that we have took part in the festivities. For me this always feels like a kick off to the holiday season.

Here I am with the little one right after the Mayor helped light the Christmas tree. Madelyn was a little too preoccupied with all the people fluttering around her, but she did eventually notice the tree.

We enjoyed walking around looking about, but we were a little bummed to see that Cloud 9 was closing down. Cloud 9 always had the cutest little kitchen accessories. It was great to see everywhere so crowded and everyone out to support their community.

As we have done every year since we've been going, we ate dinner at Motor Supply our favorite restaurant in all of Columbia. I love that the Chef Tim changes up his menu nightly. He usually keeps the same proteins, but always prepares them in new ways. I ended up selecting the duck and it was delicious. Madelyn really seemed to enjoy it as well.

I always enjoying doing little things like this as a family. Madelyn is such an entertainer these days and seems to love being in big crowds. She likes to announce her presence loudly and it always just makes me smile.

I'm so ready for the Holidays to be here and can't believe it's already Thanksgiving week. My whole family is coming over for dinner to celebrate, and I can't wait!!

The Tucker clan rolled into SC yesterday and I can't wait to see my older nephews. They are growing up way to fast and quickly becoming little teenagers. My bro and his wife will also be here with the newest little addition to the family. Nate and Maddie will be sharing their first Thanksgiving together. Too bad Nate can't have any of the yummy turkey this year.

Well I hope everyone has a fun filled week! Happy Early Thanksgiving from the farm!

I'm back!!!!!!

Did you miss me?

I'll admit it, I'm indecisive. I mean like really, really indecisive. I thought I would like another blog's interface better for this, but here I am back at home. I think blogger fits for me. I am just not "computer" enough to understand some of the stuff on other sites. So here I am again with my indecisive self.

Well, not much as changed in life on the farm. There is still laundry waiting to be folded, animals to feed and a sweet baby to play with. We have however done a few improvements or should I say started a few more improvements on the farm house. It's only taken us months and months, but farmer Roy "almost" has the outside of the house including the shutters painted. Hopefully by Christmas this will be done.

Back on election day, after we voted as a family, we headed out for a trip through the South Carolina countryside. We ended up at Ikea in Charlotte and ended up buying our cabinets, counter tops, and other goodies for our kitchen re-do. After going through a number of phone calls and hassle (a story for another time) all our stuff was finally delivered last week. I can't wait until we get to start ripping out the old and installing the new. Everyone cross your fingers and toes that it goes smoothly.

I did recently rip down the make-shift wall in the now nursery so we could turn the closet back around for Maddie's toddler room. All is well so far, but I'm still in the middle of putting coats of joint compound on it to make it purty. I promise to post pics soon to show the progress. Once I'm done with the rooms, I'm gonna make myself finish the office that has quickly become our storage room.

I promise to stick with this blog and keep everyone update to life out here on the farm.

Before I go, why not share a cute pic of the lil' one that her daddy took of her out in the field. Hope ya'll have a happy Thursday!

Dear blog,

I know I've been neglecting you......again, but I promise after I get all this info learned up for my next test, I'll be back.

Love,
The Farm Princess

Fan-freakin-tastic Fridays!!!!

The new princess......

I know I've been neglecting my blog, but I promise I have a good excuse. Miss Madelyn Ruth arrived Dec. 15 weighing in at 9lb 3oz and 20.5 inches. Yes, she was a big girl. Life with her has been amazing. Of course there have been times that we have both been crying, but it's been so worth every second. I can hardly believe she turned 12 weeks old yesterday. It feels like we were just bringing her home. Roy and I are so in love with her!!!

So while I was on maternity leave, I taught myself how to crochet. I'll have to share Maddie's hat parade later, but I just finished my first little animal for her. I think we are gonna name her Ellie. I have so much fun creating things for her. I think Roy thinks I'm a little nuts with my crafts but he humors me in acting interested.

Meet Ellie.........

Of course we have to also share her side profile........

I think Maddie already loves Ellie. I don't think she has a clue what it is, but it has eyes that catch her attention and a trunk to naw on.

Hello friend............


Mmmmmm! You look tasty......


I'm gonna eat you.....Nom, Nom, Nom!!!!

Well I think the little one is finally down for awhile. This mama's got to go jump in the shower while she can.
