DULUTH 2009!!

We took the boys to Duluth for the night. We had a lot of fun!! Griff had a blast looking at all the boats!! Kyle was SUPER excited to go to Duluth!

Watching a ship come in.

The only family picture we got!!

Grandma Knutson and Nolan.

Griff LOVED the bridge! He would get super excited when it would go up and down.

Griff at Grandma's!

Once we got back to the hotel (Edgewater) Griff was ready to go! Nolan had to eat first so Griff took a practice swim in the tub!

All ready to go!! Too bad Gymboree doesn't make Man sized swimming trunks! :)

Off we go!

Nolan decided to nap.

After swimming we went to Carnival Thrillz. We took Emma here when we lived in Duluth about 4 years ago. I don't think it's been cleaned since. It was GROSS!
We walked around looking at boats.

4 years!

I can't believe it's been 4 years already!! Where has the time gone?

Kindergarten Graduation

Emma graduated from Kindergarten!! I can't believe she's already a 1st grader!! Congratulations Emma! We're so proud of you!!

Who ever thought it was a good idea to have BLACK cupcakes was WRONG!!!

Griff kept sneaking a new cupcake and eating the frosting off!! He NEVER ate the actual cake part!

Anton taking a peek at Mr. N!

The boys! Anton and Griff play so well together! I think they are going to be Best Friends! I see lots of sleep overs in our future! I hope Nolan and Baby Ackley #3 and #1 will get along as well! WOW that's a lot of baby Ackleys!

Playing with the Ackley Family

Emma (5 3/4), Nolan (4 months), Griffin (2 1/2) and Anton (1 1/2)

I love this picture!! Griff has a HUGE smile on his face. Anton and Griff were lovin' the playhouse!

HELLO Anton!!

The boys found a bug and had to study it for awhile.

Griffin trying to copy Emma! She was doing a tripod!

At first this was fun, but it soon turned!
