365 Project Day 260: Little Boys

The images in this post of  Hudson and Aiden Fiddler, who came over with their daddy Brandon, to visit today. Brandon later likened our time photographing them to “herding cats”. Yes it was.:) But only because little boys are, well, little boys. I loved watching them play and wonder around curiously around the farm. The horses were definitely the hit of the day. I think Gunsmoke and Jackie knew we needed a little help and came over to settle things down a bit. It worked! So sweet.

How can you not love a little boy?  Full of life, tumbling in and out, scratched up and always moving. Grinning, climbing, conquering, proud and  beaming. Milk mustaches and wrestling matches. Rocks in their pockets and grass stains on their britches, little boys are so full of life. Every bug brings a new discovery, every fence a new adventure. Aren’t fences meant to climb?

Little boys grow up too fast. Tricycles turn into bicycles that turn into cars. Army men and legos pile up in the corner replaced by hunting gear and electric guitars. Voices change and plunge deep. It happens in the blink of an eye.

Hold them, hug them while you can.

Thanks for sharing them with me today, Brandon! Blessings to you all.

    Love it. Great pictures, momma.

    “Tricycles turn into bicycles that turn into cars.” That’s a song lyric if I’ve ever seen one.
