Alright Already

Is 25 days between blogs REALLY that long? OK, maybe it is but I have been suffering from blog-envy. Until today, I did not have any pictures to post and I did not know how to post but......not anymore!!! So here we go with an update.

Since our last discussion, the Bond's have been busy, of course. The highlight was our occasionally annual ski trip to Wolf Creek Colorado with the Gayles. We really enjoy spending time with Matt, Robin, Easton and Mason. Having others to travel with sure helps pass the time and make for some great memories. We had a blast as you can see from the picture. (Don't look too closely, it might be our Christmas card this year!). We spent 2 days skiing in great spring conditions. Paige and I hung out a lot with Matt and Mason on the easier slopes while Terry and his fearless gang (Sheridan and Easton) tackled the more difficult slopes. Where was Robin you might be wondering? She was safely at Base Camp utilizing her people watching skills and keeping us informed on the "What to See" list when we dropped by and there was PLENTY to see on some stops. ***A special THANK YOU to the Gerken's for the use of the house in Southfork again. It is AWESOME!!! We sure hated to have to come home but some of us had to get back to work so we could pay for this adventure.

Other than skiing, we are kept busy by softball this time of year. Both of the girls' teams are doing well and they both seem to be enjoying playing ball. Just wish it would quit raining so much. Rain is good but in smaller doses so as to not flood the fields and cancel our tournaments.

That's about it for now. Now that I am more technologically empowered, I promise more regular updates. (Maybe I can get Robin to show me how to use some of the other neat features and totally shock you all on your next visit.)

Weekend Rewind

Typical fast paced weekend for the Bond's. Both girls softball teams played in a tournament in Del City this weekend. Sheridan's team kicked it off Friday night with a game in the cold. Forgot my jacket so it was especially cold to me!!! (Note to self: DON'T do that again). Saturday, Paige's team got into the action. We played a total of 4 games on Saturday and it was WINDY AND COLD!!! The girls did a great job. Paige hit the ball well and played great defense. Her team went 1-1 on the day. Sheridan had a good day as well. Her team finished 2-0 for the day. Sheridan and I missed Paige's last game as we hurried off to Yukon for a basketball game. They played really well but came up short against a 6th grade team. Sunday was more softball. Paige's team fell short in a great rally and lost 9-8 to a team from Tulsa. they finished tied for 5th. Paige played well again and did a great job on the bases creating some havoc and stealing 5 bases. Don't think she had a ball hit her way today. But she is doing a great job at 3rd base for her team. Sheridan's team finished 2nd in the tournament. She did a great job at the plate executing 2 bunt plays. Her defense was great as well. All and all a good but hectic weekend for the Bond girls and their parents.
