Santa Fe Trip

Graden our driver;]

We just got back from a great family trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico. We left Thursday, drove to Denver. We stayed the night & went to the Denver Zoo in the morning. It was the boys first time to the zoo & they enjoyed every minute of it.

That afternoon we drove the rest of the way to Santa Fe where we met up with family- Auntie Audie, Grandma & Grandpa Cunningham, Great Grandpa Ted & Great Aunt Roxanne & Uncle Ty. Our hotel had a pool so we ate pizza, visited & played in the water. The next day was Audie's College graduation... We are so proud of her & thankful we were able to be there to celebrate with her.



The next day we did some sight seeing around Santa Fe, we went to the Indian Market, Plaza & a sculpture garden. We also ate great Mexican/ new Mexico food. The last night in Santa Fe we went out to the camp ground that G-ma & G-pa were camping at for dinner. G-pa Willy & Greg cooked buggers & hot dogs on the camp fire... Yummy. The boys had a great time playing outside & in the camper... until Graden fell into a big cactus! OUCH! Poor guy had a ton of cactus stuck all along his legs & in his feet. We used tap & tweezers to try to get it out but with him crying & moving around we couldn't get it all out. So we gave him some Tylenol and drove back to our hotel. He feel asleep on the way back, so when we got back I got out the tweezers & was able to pick the rest out of him while he was sleeping. Now he just has a few scrapes on him.
Cael-

Graden-



On our way back home we stopped in Alamosa to see Great Grandma Audie. It meant a lot to me for her to meet the boys, even thought she probably wont remember them. We haven't seen her in about 4 years, so it was a really great visit.

wrestlers already

a little bit spring...

We have finally been enjoying a little bit of spring weather! Today is a little chilly with rain, but we'll take it! As long as it's not snow.

Greg & I did a lot of shopping around, test driving and trying to figure out the best vehicle for our family. We aren't van people and we never thought we would want anything as big as a Suburban... well, when we thought about it... all the space we needed & we wanted something we weren't going to out grow we decided that we needed a Suburban. Yes, the Glodt family is the proud owners of a Chevy Suburban!!! Greg & I are in love with this car and can't imagine life without it now.

Our new investment is going to make our trip next week to Santa Fe a lot more comfortable than our little Jeep:] Wow, our Santa Fe trip is almost here. We are going down for Audie's college graduation. We wouldn't miss this milestone in Audie's life & want to be there to celebrate with her. There also will be some family members there that haven't met the boys yet! That will be special... I will have to take LOTS of pictures!

The day we come back from Santa Fe is Graden & Caels 2nd Birthday!!! My babies are going to be two. The time does fly, but it's been so much fun and we've been making memories that I'll never forget. I've decided to have the boys birthday party the last weekend of May, by then we should have beautiful weather for the kiddoes to play outside and be messy! Their birthday theme is Elmo... they LOVE Elmo!!!

Well, there should be a lot of pictures and stories to tell by June. I hope everyone has a great May.

Mommy & Cael, he loves to look in the mirror right after his bath

Handsome Graden-- I love those rosey cheeks
