Our trip back to Louisiana was a lot of fun! I was craving sunshine, green grass, and blue skies for so long...and finally got it. We spent my first day back having a picnic at the Lakefront in Metairie. Vitamin D does a body good.




Then that night, I met Joey's family at the Houma's house....which was just beautiful!



On Sunday, I met Jessica at the aquarium. Her boyfriend Jacob's sister works there, and got to watch her feed the sea otters. I decided that will be my next pet. They are so cute!



Then the rest of the afternoon we went to the Rodrigue gallery at the NOMA. We couldn't believe how many painting Rodrigue has done. Pretty amazing.



































And my favorite rugrat, Isabella!


Then spent some more time outside...I think I see a pattern forming.






We almost saw sunrise this morning. We went out and had a good time at an Irish bar in our neighborhood. We met up with friends, and wound up making some new ones as well. Australian ones I tell ya'. A group of Aussies are here in NY for a wedding and wound up being really cool. I think we are going to meet up with them next weekend. The pictures are from the iphone...so they are a little blurry.



Joey and Paul...an Aussie.










This is Keith, Nunca the rottweiler's dad.












Paul and Keith









Me and Freddy! He plans on coming to my softball games with Joey dressed in cutoff jean shorts and a mullet wig. Can't wait for that one.....I'll tell everyone he is my cousin that came to visit. They'll believe me since being from Lousiana makes me "redneck". :)




















Bam! Doing a double punch to Keith and Freddy.





Now time to post pictures of cute dogs!

Buster and Layla. They are Joey's brother's dogs.....and very adorable!



I think this is such a great picture Red and Ali. Red looks very distinguished, like he should have a cigar and reading glasses.


The saturday before Easter I used my family as guineau pigs. I cooked for them. Don't worry though, it was a success. :)



Bye Bye for now :)
