Twinky Day at the Zoo

A mommy and Nick day at the zoo - and we decided to be twinkies :) Matching hats and sunglasses!

And we got to see the baby orangutan! 

Of Course It Was going to Snow in April

We got a pretty serious amount of snow the first Friday in April. We ended up with about 7 inches of snow. The kids had lots of fun playing in the last snowfall of the year, which was also the largest snowfall of the year. 

Jump for the Love of Spring Break

To expend some spring break energy, I took the boys to Sky Zone to jump around for a bit. Always a good time! 

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.
