Sprained Ankle

So I ended up with a sprained ankle on Tuesday, Jul 27. I was spending the day at my parents house, while they were out of town, so I could water their lawn and plants. I was running along their stepping stones trying to avoid from getting wet from the sprinkler, when I landed wrong and my right ankle totally went to the side and I was on the ground. It hurt so bad. I crawled over to turn off the sprinkler and forced my self up off the ground and into the house. I ended up having to call my brother, who is a paramedic, over to take a look at it. It was very swollen. I ended up staying the night at my parents house until Thursday night when my husband came over and picked me up to take me to the doctor to get it check out. He had me go get xrays done to make sure it wasn't fractured. I found out that it is only badly sprained. My ankle and heel is so bruised, it is ugly looking. It is still a little swollen, but hopefully it will go away soon. I have been off work since I hurt myself. I have been stuck at home with crutches, ice, and wrapping my foot.

We had Anil's family over for dinner. It was really fun.

Right after Anil got done barbequeing, there was a deer in our backyard.

Gerald Fitzgerald Family Reunion - July 10, 2010

For our family reunion, we went to my aunts house in Matlock, WA. We had barbecue, salads, chips and desserts to eat. There were also a few games and bubbles that the kids enjoyed.

This was a cupcake eating contest to see you could eat the cupcake first without using their hands.

Kyle on the 4wheeler and Braxton is wanting to ride it too.

Kyle and Connor playing with the bubbles and having fun. In this last picture, Connor is jumping as he hits the bucket with the wand. I actually took the picture while his feet are off the ground.

Fourth of July Fireworks - July 4, 2010

We went to my parents house after our trip and watched the fireworks, from their backyard. I didn't get very many pictures because the battery on my camera kept dying.
