Cole, Sawyer and Lily

We had a fun visit with Kim and Lily today. Lily has warmed up to the pace of playing at the Cudney's with two busy boys. She loved the ride in the "trailer" with Cole at the wheel. Only wished Lily lived closer than Rhode Island, but always fun to play when she come to Vermont for a visit!

Best Pals!

Some adorable shots of Cole with Bailey...for those of you that haven't seen Bailey in a while...she turned 10 in March!

The Hired Help Working in the Yard

Another 10 years of training and we should be able to watch from the back porch!

Father's Day Fun at Button Bay State Park

We packed a picnic lunch and headed to Button Bay State Park for a swim on Father's Day. The boys had a blast in the pool.

Happy Father's Day Daddy!

Making Father's Day Cards!

No need for a paint brush when I have 10 fingers!

Hum...what I can I do with this?

Who me?

reason # 10 why there are not a lot of art and craft projects at the Cudney's

Our little artist

Of course it was a perfect idea to have Sawyer make Father's Day cards with paint while I prepared a yummy breakfast to serve to Daddy.

Ken's New Toy!

With 3 acres of land and a big lawn it was time to upgrade from a push mower to a tractor if we wanted Ken to have any free time this summer. Ken is able to mow the lawn in less than one hour on his new John Deere tractor. The tractor cart has already come in handy for yard projects. The best part...the kids LOVE getting tractor rides on Daddy's tractor!

Happy 2nd Birthday Sawyer!

Remembering Grammy and Grampy Tucker

Laura, Emily, Sawyer and Grace

Cole

The tradition continues every June to visit the cemetery where Grammy and Grampy Tucker are buried. Together with other family members we plant summer flowers and remember Grammy and Grampy.

Quoted from annual invite on May 6th, 2010:

Every year since 1984 we have gathered together to join in the celebration of the family created by the love of Grampy and Grammy Tucker. In the last several years that family gathering has coincided with the SHS Alumni Day, an event which was so important to them and has been as will for their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. So for the TWENTY SEVENTH TIME we'll do it again...

Steven's Alumni Parade 2010

Another rainy alumni parade!

We were of to New Hampshire to see Nana's family and attend the Steven's High School Alumni Parade. The kids always enjoy this parade and seeing family.

Little Golf Guys!

After a trip to the doctor today we had to do something fun after both boys had several shots. The bribe of the day was a round of mini golf if we could exit after the shots with minimal disturbances to the entire Pediatricians Office.
