Hey girls! Well summer is going great! A little too fast but its going pretty well! I am actually going on a few vacations... South Dakota to see Mt. Rushmore and camp :) so excited! Then i am going to Alaska on a cruise in August. But i can't wait, its not coming fast enough though. Also, i am going to the Tim McGraw and Lady A concert ha i won them ok no i didn't my friend did, but i took her to some rodeo in West Jordan and she won the dancing competition, so since she was so willing to take me, i get to tag along with her! ha but i am super stoked for that... sorry for all those who dislike country but i am one of those who LOVES it ha. but ya here is me and my friend at the rodeo, we kind of forget to dress up so don't mind our outfits, ya so that's the rodeo clowns and funny story, that guy to the right of me, (if looking at the picture) he put his arm around me so i was a little caught off guard so i put my arm awkwardly around him and made the face haha but it was super fun. But ya that's pretty much all that's going on that's worth putting down. but i can't wait to see ya guys! have a great rest of the summer!

Hola:)

Hey Team! Hope everyone's summer is going great! I am just in lovely Parma, Idaho:) My days are pretty boring here. I workout in the morning then go with my dad or he sends me off with our hired man and I'm stuck with him all day. I wash my steers everyday for the fair and give em baths:) I babysit my cute nephew and play pick-up ball with Boise State. Not too exciting:) Our family is anti-vacation so our vacations consist of going to our farms to check cattle! Let me tell you it's loads of fun! not...I have went boating a few times with my friends which has been fun. Saw the movie Eclipse which I thought was super dumb! Waste of money!...Well hope all is well with everyone:) I kinda don't know how to put up pictures but I'll give it a try!
see ya soon

Hey guys! I figure I better fill you all in on how my summer has been going :D Well, as all of you know I'm sure, I found out I tore my labrum and got surgery the end of May. It was pretty rough the first few weeks, and extremely awkward trying to attempt normal daily activities, but I've survived! I officially am out of the sling today :D losing one arm really makes you
appreciate little things like picking something up or fixing your own hair, so always make sure to be grateful for that :P So yesterday I ran for the first time in a long time and it felt wonderful! I also went to physical therapy today and I'm feeling good about the progress I'm going to be making, they said that the range of motion was already pretty good, so I am pretty happy!


Other than my awesome shoulder issues, I've been having a wonderful summer! I've been working for my dad, and hanging out with lots of different friends. I got to go to the Kansas, Foreigner, and Styx concert and that was awesome! If you guys haven't heard of them you should check them out :D Fourth of July was also awesome, I had a family reunion Friday and Saturday and my aunt and uncle are in a band so we danced the night away both nights! The fireworks were also amazing, I love them. I also got to go to Lake Powell in the middle of June, which was bliss! Although I could go tubing or ride the wave runners, I got a decent tan ;) and got to go hiking and fishing.


Well I love and miss you all, and hope to hear from you soon! Can't wait to see all you girls and coaches, and get to know the new girls coming in!
Love, E
This is where I sat the whole vacation, with my little sling my Mom made me wear hahaha








At the amazing concert!!!

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!

Jenna Johnson

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!
