Bus Ride
Papa John was kind enough to take Mason for a second year of Spring shooting sports at the Clay County Fair Grounds. Mason's archery and BB shooting both improved from last year and he earned a couple blue ribbons.

Rockin' Heart Tarts
This Valentine's Day I got the pleasure of making heart tarts with my baby cake.
I learned that baking with a 6-year-old boy is quite different than baking with a little girl.
He was interested in cutting out the hearts but also wanted to roll the extra pie dough into a snake and then make videos. In the videos, he explained to the "viewers" how he was going to feed the snake and dissect the it to reveal the mouse moving through it's body!
Not exactly lovely thoughts but this boy was into it!

Roatan
Our dear and adventurous friends, Barry and Laurie Sheridan, invited us to come visit them at their winter home on the island of Roatan, Honduras. We spent five fantastic days relaxing, eating, exploring, visiting, shopping and learning about island life.
Barry had to head back to the states earlier than planned due to the arrival of his granddaughter, however Laurie took great care of us.
