Chore Buddy


The end of January always marks the beginning of calving season for the Hillman herd. This year is no exception. Calves were tagged and sorted on Friday and here it is Tuesday, and we're already tagging another 25 calves. I enjoy being able to get out and help tag. It reminds me of all the early mornings doing chores with my dad. I have myself a little chore buddy. Hudson rides in the tractor with Grandpa while they feed. He helps us round the cows up on the 4 wheeler and today he went with me to help tag.
As soon as tractors, cows, or ruff-ruffs are mentioned or heard, he heads for his boots. It will be nice when it's warm enough to send him outside without boots, coats, overalls, and mittens. I think we both will enjoy warmer weather and the freedom of not being in the house all the time.

Glad he has boots, cause those Elmo slippers would sure be nasty after a day with the cows!

Convince me that he loves it. He doesn't look too excited in any of the pictures! (which I actually think makes it all the cuter!)

He's a farmer, he's not supposed to look excited. It's just another day on the farm.

I must comment again. Chris and I have just reaffirmed our previous knowledge. We have the two cutest nephews ever.

Keep the pictures coming, because they make us happy!
