March Madness and not just basketball!!

This past month has been a crazy one! We have been world travelers that's for sure. The first of March Alli and I were able to go to good ol' SG for a quick visit with my fam so they could see our Alli girl, we made it for my dad's b-day and had a good time, however, right when we got back we left that next week for London England (and fitting my work into all of this was not that fun, lots of night shifts, ugggh). We were lucky and very fortunate to be able to go and visit Barbara and Kenneth on their mission in London England. It was an amazing trip, we were able to tour all over and meet our cousins that we had never met before which was so fun! Judy and Donald are wonderful along with Adam, Kirsten, and their 3 cuties Pippa, Lola and Faye (they loved playin with Alli :). London was amazing, its history everywhere on every turn, we saw the London Eye, Tower of London, Westminister Abbey, Big Ben, Leeds Castle, Dover Castle and the list goes on and on. Our favorite parts were the castles and of course meetin' the family! It was a fast crazy trip and we were exhausted by the end, but Alli did great on the long flights and endless traveling and all went well. We were also able to do Baptisms for the Dead at the London Temple with family names that Barbara had searched and found, it was wonderful. I love the English accent and I was going to pick it up while we were there, but Brian thought that I didn't quite have it down :) Anywho here are some picks of our crazy whirlwind month of March...

Alli and Grandpa Snow

Happy B-day dad! Alli wanted to eat the cake before you :)

Nana & Grandpa Snow and Alli wanting to eat whatever she can get to first, her hands, your hands or cake!

We got to visit with the Beckstrom Fam too, Aunt Brookie with all our girls

Alli and Emma-they look alike and are just 6 months apart although Alli looks just about Emmas size, ha ha

Emma didn't quite know what to think of Alli it was pretty funny watching them interact :)

We wore Alli out on more than one occassion :) She was a very good little girl through all of it...

how fun! I didn't know you guys were doing all that stuff...lucky! Not many 6 month olds can say they have been in another country :) and you are brave to take her.

It looks like we have lots to catch up on...I guess we need to run a marathon or something so we can talk about everything!
