Happy 78th Birthday Gram

My gram (my mom's mom) turned 78 on August 21, 2006. We had a little get together... it was nice. This was also my friend Joe Ferguson's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

My Ankle

On Saturday, August 5th, 2006, I broke my ankle playing in a football tourament. I was going for an interception and got tangled up with a kid. My leg got all twisted behind me, and I heard all kinds of cracking and popping. I knew right away that my leg was broke. An awesome friend of mine, Dorene, took me to the hospital and spent the afternoon with me there. On Monday, I went to my Orthopedic, and he gave me the bad news that I had to have surgery to repair the damage. So, on Tuesday, August 8th, I had open reduction-internal fixation surgery, where a plate and 5 screws were put into my ankle. Now I cannot bare any weight on it for 4-6 weeks, which really stinks. It looks like I will miss all of the football season this fall.

Baseball Picnic Celebration

Here are some pics from the boys' baseball picnic. It was a nice time with great food. I also got to hang out with Jess, so that was nice. The only bad part was, I could not play football this year... grrrr. I am really frustrated with not being able to do anything right now.

Altoona City League Champions for the 4th year in a Row

Ryan and Brandon's baseball team, Lilly Chiropractic/American Legion won the Altoona City League for the 4th year in a row. I got to catch some of the playoff action due to the fact that I cannot do much else but sit around. It was nice watching them play though.

Weekend at Julies' :-)

This past weekend I went to visit Julie. We had a great weekend. Friday night Julie, Lizzi, and I went shopping at Bass Pro, went out to eat, then went out for a little. Saturday we helped out on the farm, rode the four wheeler, unloaded straw, and just chilled. Sunday, we went shopping, got some ice cream, made some corn, moved some wagons, then ate homemade popcorn and watched a movie. It was a wonderful time, and I hope to get back to see her soon!
