Belated Fancy Birthday Dinner - Yum Yum!!

We had a fancy belated birthday dinner at Restaurant R'Evolution. Unfortunately Adam was too sick to come (strep throat) but we enjoyed it for him. My dinner came with a friend. It was amazingly delicious!! 

Flat Stanly Rides a Plane

Ben had a Flat Stanley project over spring break. FS took a plane ride from NOLA to Detroit. 

Stylin' for the Club

Nick was stylin' for lunch at the country club. He's nothing, if not stylish. 

Silly With Aunt Sarah

It wouldn't be Aunt Sarah time unless it was silly time!

Lamb cake

My first ever traditional Balyeat Easter lamb cake. I think Beef would have been proud. Though, I nixed the black jelly beans for chocolate chips. 

Happy Easter!

The annual family Easter pictures

Easter Bunny Time!

The Easter Bunny came! Baring gifts of Legos, bubbles and Nerf guns! And some candy.

A Trip Down the Mississippi

We took a paddle boat cruise on the Creole Queen down the Mississippi to the Chalmete battleground. It was cool to see the city from the river and learn a little bit of history on the Battle of New Orleans. The boys liked seeing the other ships and boats on the river. 

Dollar - The Alligator

Captain Richie had a little friend along for the ride - his pet alligator, Dollar. He was an awesome pet alligator. If you rub him by his ear/neck, he puts his head back and does an alligator purr. He was very good when the boys held and pet him.
