More Summer Stuff

I am trying to get caught up with info. on this summer! After the family reunion Nick and I stayed with my family for a week. Enjoy the pics!

Mom was looking for wild huckleberries on our Mt. Ranier hike.

The family (minus Dad who was at work and Jenna who was pouting somewhere out of view).

We saw some pretty cool waterfalls along the hike.

The scenery was awesome!

Here was a waterfall that had carved its way through the rocks. It's hard to see the path of the water through the rocks in this picture but it was a pretty cool waterfall to see.

This is actually a picture of Mt. Ranier from behind my house when Nick, Mom, and I were horse riding. Not bad huh!

This was a run off or something from Mt. Ranier. The minerals made the river bed very red.

I was sitting on one of those big rocks down there looking at the water and Jenna thought it would be funny to throw a rock into the water right next to me and splash me...It would have been a great idea had she not hit me with the rock! I had a huge welt on my leg and limped around for the rest of the day. Poor Jenna felt really bad though!

Nick and Chase keeping it real.

Here's Chase and I standing on a bridge that was made out of logs. It was kind of scary crossing the bridge because there wasn't much there! Check out the gray water!

Terry Family Reunion

A week after my graduation, Nick and I headed to Puyallup, Washington for the Terry family reunion. It was actually pretty fun! We ate a lot of food, played some group games (waterballoon volleyball, bocce ball, skits, basketball, etc.), and tie-dyed t-shirts. Tie-dying was my favorite of course because it brought back memories of tie-dying t-shirts, socks, and sports bras in a big cauldron in the wild woods of Oregon while growing up. Okay, we weren't in the woods and we didn't use a "cauldron" per say, but we did tie-dye a number of items in our backyard using a big canning pot. :) I definitely enjoyed this activity at the family reunion as well! Well, here's some pics!

Here's Nick and I modeling our sweet t-shirts!

Nick went golfing with "the guys" in the morning and then had fun practicing his swing in the evening at his cousin Kevin's house.

Good form Nick!

He did really good...A lot better than me anyways! :)

Graduation!!!

I decided I should probably add something to my blog since it has been a while. I graduated from BYU-Idaho July 18, 2008!!! I now have a Bachelor's degree in Health Science and a minor in Exercise and Sports Science. Sounds good huh? I just don't know what I can do with it now. Anywho...It was a big accomplishment for me and I have to say I am proud of myself. My Dad promised me a few years back that if I graduated college, he would take me to Hawaii. I reminded him of that promise recently, and interestingly enough, he doesn't remember making that promise to me! How could he not remember promising me something that big? Why else would I want to graduate! Somebody needs to call my Dad and vouch for me! :) Moving on...Below are some pictures taken the night of my graduation by loving supporters.

" No more school! No more school!"

This is my friend Andrea and I seated together right after we received our diplomas.

Nick and I right after I received my diploma. He was the official camera man for the night. Luckily, we found someone to snap a shot of us. Once I got married, I was a straight A student! Thanks for getting me straightened out Nick!!!

My family traveled for 13 hours just to come to my graduation! This was the best graduation present I received!

My In-laws came to support me also. They take good care of me!

My New Motorbike Rocks!!!

Here is a beautiful picture of the sunset and scenery I saw as I was returning from a bike ride with Nick and his family. I had to take a picture. McCammon is only green during the spring!

Here is a picture of everyone helping to get the 4-wheeler over a fallen tree when the family went on a ride. Nick and Skyler collected smaller tree limbs and twigs to help the 4-wheeler make the adjustment over the tree. Success!

I broke my fender on the first day I rode my new bike. I wheelied back on myself while trying to climb a small dinky hill.

For Memorial Day weekend Nick and I headed to our annual Terry weeding party in McCammon, Idaho. His family owns over 2,000 acres out there of dry grass and sagebrush. Unfortunately for me, I didn't find out about this annual weed spraying tradition of the Terry's until it was too late. So every Memorial Day weekend now for the rest of my precious life will be spent laboring under the hot sun with a spray pack on my back and a shovel in my hand. (Not to mention a lifetime of worrying about being attacked by lyme-diseased ticks and deadly rattlesnakes.) However, let me get to the good part of this last Memorial Day. Amber, Nick's older sister bought herself a Yamaha 125 dirtbike and as soon as Nick and I arrived at the McCammon house we went to the shop with his family and were all admiring Amber's new bike. As we were standing there, Nick whispers in my ear, "You really want a bike huh?" I turned to him and said, "Yeah, of course I do! This is making me so jealous to stand here listening to Amber rattle on about her bike when she is probably never going to ride it because of her busy schedule!" Nick then proceeded to remind me for about the 10th time this year that we wouldn't be able to afford a bike for me until next year. I then said, "It would be nice for me to have a bike before we have kids however so we can go riding together frequently and so I can learn how to ride before I'm a mother." "Yeah." he said and the conversation was over. 10 minutes later he tells everyone, "I want to go look upstairs in the shop. Does anyone want to come with me?" "Nick, we have been upstairs in the shop a ton...Nothing has changed...It is dusty up there with old stuff lying around." I thought it was funny he wanted to go upstairs but didn't suspect a thing. Up the stairs we all filed to the dusty room above. There, to my surprise, was a Yamaha 125, clean and shiny, in the middle of the room. "Oh, that's weird." I said. "Somebody is storing their bike up here." "Yeah," Nick said. "It belongs to a hot blonde." That's when the reality of the moment hit me. After a few minutes of shock I began jumping around, screaming, and hugging Nick. It was great. Above are some pictures of me on my bike with some of the Terry clan.

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day Nick got me these beautiful spring roses, a card, and a football! I already have 2 footballs but they are youth size and I wanted a little bit of a bigger one. (I still don't want a man one though...I have a hard time getting my hand around it to throw it!) Nick is so sweet! It was a great Mother's Day. To everyone that thinks women who aren't mothers shouldn't be given a present on Mother's Day...Don't be ridiculous! Women should be honored for being awesome! We work hard to be good mothers, dauthers, wives, sisters, employees, athletes, students, and to simply be the best we can be! Mother's Day recognizes our hard work and good qualities! Yay for Mother's Day! (Yay for chocolate also!)

Terry Family Cook Out

Saturday night Nick and I went over to his parents house in Idaho Falls and had a cook out! It was a lot of fun! We made foil dinners and rode the 4-wheeler and motorbikes around. With us is Nick's parents, his brother Skyler, and Skyler's fiance Becky.

Golfing

For our anniversary I got Nick some golf passes so we decided to go golfing on the following Saturday...It was a gorgeous day (this means that it wasn't snowing) so we took advantage of it and golfed our hearts out! I am not a good golfer but Nick does pretty good. I brought the new camera Nick got me for our anniversary and we took some pictures!
