Eh!

I hope everyone is just having an amazing summer in all the different places we all are right now!  My summer days have been just filled with fun!  I have spent a ton of time with family and friends that I haven't seen in a way long time...it has been great.  On Mother's Day it was my Grandpa Eddy's 75th Birthday so my Grandma J threw him a huge surprise party with all our family and it was extremely special for him!  We had a huge bomb fire in my Grandpa Eddy's berm (a family favorite) and at this fire I thought it would be great to make J’s banana, chocolate, marshmallow campfire melts with my cousins so I did but sadly they didn’t love them at all…i couldn't believe it so i am thinking that something had to be wrong with fire that night…it wasn’t a Utah fire and we didn’t make it with our bare hands so maybe that had some kind of affect on the banana’s :/ we also roasted elk and duck hot dogs that evening, which was very different, we have never done that before but my Grandpa Eddy had gone hunting this year so we had to try it.  That also wasn’t a huge hit so we stuck to roasting the marshmallows that evening…they were normal! haha It has been just great to be home, see everyone, and share some laughs together! 

Other than spending time with the family and taking long naps I have been going to my old high school, Elgin, in the mornings to shoot before school starts and then in the afternoon I head over to the Y and do some weights.  I know this trainer from way back and he has been working with me a little bit.  His workouts are extremely brutal and challenging, i would call him my Canadian version of Dave but his real name is Carlos!  Then on Monday's and Wednesday's I have been going back to Elgin in the evenings and have been doing a clinic they have going on right now with some of my old teammates.  It has been a lot of fun! 

Well that is about everything that has happened so far and I don’t have a clue how to put up pictures so Kaycee I really need you?? haha I will definitely post again after I have done something a little more exciting and maybe I will know how to post pictures next time :)

Miss everyone daily

Love Chan

dear team,

my summer has just be so AWESOME so far. i have been doing absolutely nothing besides working out with dave (so much fun!), looking for a job (having no luck haha), and working on the raft. the raft is looking so nice by the way. It's all sanded and smooth so no prickley's will get in are you know where's while we sail! a lot of the milk jugs are now tied on but there's about 15 more that need to be added for balance as we learned from our last attempt...it worked great just a little off balance right chan? anyways another thing i did was go to my sisters baby shower! me and my sisters and my mom dressed up in dresses and old/weird hats to try and make it olden dayish...we're kinda weird sometimes haha. i will try and post a picture if i can figure out how to use this thing haha. and when we (me cyd kaycee and tash) go sailing i will definately post some more pictures so you guys can all get jealous!!

much love!

Happy Birthday Coach Nixon!

Hey Team! Coach Liz here. I haven' t really done anything noteworthy or exciting yet this summer but I wanted to post anyway! Yesterday was Coach Nixon's birthday and how cool was it that half of the team could come to celebrate! Here's a photo from open gym. Cupcakes made by Cyd and Jenna. (Is it just me or does Jenna look a little more psycho than usual in this pic? ;)

Hello all! I don't like going to our blog and not seeing any new additions so I thought I'd write a little something...

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far. Hopefully you've all had some down time to relax a little bit. A couple weeks ago Kaitilin, JJ, Kayc, and I went fishing! You should see the fish Jenna caught.. very impressive! Scroll down and you can see some pics! It has been weird not seeing the Super 8 everyday after everyone went home, so it was fun to go fishing and hang out with at least half of the Super 8! Oh, and for those of you who don't know, the Super 8 is a name we gave our apartment because there were 8 of us living together!

Biggest catch of the day!! Nice work J











These days Jenna, Kayce, Tash, and I have been going to Dave's at 7am 4 times a week. Its so fun, especially Thursdays when he kills us conditioning :) Its great. Besides that I've just been living with my brother at our house until the rest of the fam comes back in a few weeks, then the real fun begins with boating trips, concerts, and just hangin out with the fam!

Hope you are all working on your game but also enjoying your summer! That's very important :) Can't wait to see some new posts from you all!

So the past few weeks we've all been talking about things we could write on the blog so I decided to finally do it.

The past few days I was on the long road to Missouri (which took about 31 hours to complete if you include our sleep stop in Salina, KS) ...Anyway, the old Saturn made it all the way home without any problems so I think it deserves a medal or something for the 3,000 miles out there and back it endured.

On my journey, I got to visit Brynn in Highlands Ranch, CO (Denver) which was super fun and you should all be jealous :P Other than that the trip was pretty boring and not very good for your back so all of you coming to visit me I would advise you to get lots of good music and some comfortable seats to sleep in or else your back will hate you.

The real reason for this post is to tell of all the adventures the awesome remaining Super 8..cough cough.. Brynn who moved out early...cough cough... had the last few weeks (Super 8 includes Tasha-the honorary Super 8 resident)

1st- We had some campfires up Provo Canyon where we took a TON of pictures and made our own fire with our bare hands...I guess you could call us pretty awesome mountain-women-fire-starters....

We also made banana boats and they were soooooo gooooood!!!...props to JJ...and we took a TON of pictures which I would love to put up here but I don't think there would be enough space so I'll only put the important ones up.

In this picture (Front) Erika, Kyra, Jenna, Tash, Back) Cyd, Chantelle, Me (Kaitlin), and Kaycee.You can also see the roaring fire in front of us just to prove our fire making skills.

This picture is a very important picture. Jenna was able to somehow make her body unusually long..it's a mystery :P

In addition to all this fire making fun Kaycee, Cyd, Jenna, and I were able to go fishing up in American Fork one afternoon. It rained on and off and on but we were able to make it fun. We used lures for bait and Jenna caught 3 fish, while the rest of us caught about 10 apiece..just kidding we didn't catch any. I guess those fish just didn't like us. I was gonna add some pictures but Cyd already did that which works out great because my computer wasn't cooperating

Over and out :)
