31 year old woman jumps off trampoline and injures foot…

That was the headline in the paper on Monday morning.  Well, no, not really, but I felt like it should have been.  I felt so stupid!  So, here’s the story…

My kids had been invited to a b/day party at a local gymnastics center on Sunday.  This place has trampolines built into the floor, and right before we left my DD wanted me to jump for just a minute.  I enjoy jumping on a trampoline (my inlaws’ neighbor has one and we play on it a lot when visiting, as you can see from a previous post), so I decided to please my daughter and jump a bit.  Well, the jumping went fine, it was the “dismounting” that didn’t.  When I came off the trampoline, back onto the floor, I rolled my right ankle over completely.  I heard a pop and looked down and there was huge protrusion on the right side of my foot.  I couldn’t even take one step it hurt so badly.  Some friends got me sat down and one friend is a physical therapist and looked at it and told me he was pretty sure I had broken it.  Oy.  So, they took me to the ER.  My DH was sleeping b/c he was working his 3rd shift rotation that night, so I was scared that they wouldn’t get ahold of him b/c he wears earplugs to sleep well.  But the friend kept calling, and thank the Lord, one of my DH’s earplugs had fallen out and he actuall HEARD the phone ring!  God is so good!  So, he came rushing over to the hospital.  They did x-rays, and determined that there were no broken bones, just some severe tears in my ligaments.  They wrapped my foot up in an ace bandage, gave me crutches and sent me home.  I didn’t get pics of my first on that first day…but here’s what it looked like on Monday (day 2):

And here’s day 3 (Tuesday) – the bruising had increased a lot, but he swelling had gone down significantly:

I’ll add more updated pics in a day or two!

Latest Cake – 3d/Sculpted Bulldozer cake

I had a cake to do this past weekend, a groom’s cake for a wedding.  They requested a 3d bulldozer…here it is:

The CUTEST baseball CATCHER ever!

Okay, so maybe I’m a little biased…you decide!

 

 

 

So, I was right, huh?  He really IS the cutest catcher ever!?!?!?!

Some assorted pics…my jumping kids, a family photo, baseball,Field day at school…

This post will have photo over load!  Lots of stuff to share.  I thought about posting each one seperately, but decided to just put them all in one post.

So, here goes… First off, is our newest family photo – it’s nothing special, I just sat up my tripod and took a couple quick shots.  We needed a current photo for a reunion thing or something, so this wasn’t very planned out…just quickly thrown together.  This shot is Straight out of the camera…I really need to crop and do some post processing to it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next up…a few of my adorable kids on a trampoline!  Their grandmom’s neighbor has a trampoline and they almost always go over and do some jumping when we are there visiting.  Here’s our latest visit:

 

 

 

My son also had field day last week – school is now officially out!  So, here are a few fun pics from field day:

This was a race where the classes were competing against each other…the teachers were sitting on table cloths and the kids had to drag their teachers across the field on their tablecloth and be the firs across the finish line!

And this was the “Shoe Race” they had to take their shoes off and place them down at one end, and then make a line at the other end.  THey had to race down, find both their shoes, put them on and race back across the starting line. 

And the obstacle course…on your mark…get set…go!

 

I think that’s enough for one post…I’ll do the others in different posts!

 

Stay tuned!
