when all of a sudden she started to cry. Jeff and I went over to see what had happened, we checked her out and couldn't see anything wrong she said she was OK and wanted to jump again. So I got up on the tramp with her and jumped, but that didn't last very long before she wanted to go to her Dad. I put her down on the tramp, she then stumbled and fell. So I picked her up and gave her to Jeff. Then she wanted to go down the slide, so Jeff put her down and she fell again. I put her on the slide and when she reached the bottom she said her foot hurt so I checked her shoes thinking that she had wood chips in her shoes but there was nothing. So we started on our way back up to the house when she fell two more times, once again I didn't think anything of it and headed to the porch. There she fell again, and again. During all of this falling she never cried so I just thought she was being a klutz, until it kept happing and she was favoring her right leg. So we decided to take her to Kid Care where they did X-rays(that wasn't fun trying to hold her down). They told us we would have to wait till the following day to find out if it was broken or not, but they would put a splint on her leg so she wouldn't be able to put more pressure on it, but it also made it so she couldn't walk. So we held her down again while they did the splint. Eliza was screaming and trying to kick us the whole 5 minutes it took for the splint to set(it was quite a chore). Once it was on she couldn't look at it without crying she was so scared of it, I felt so bad for her. On the way home she tried to rip it off but wasn't very successful. The next morning she was fine with it I think she realized it wasn't going to come off so she had to deal with it. She didn't let it slow her down to much she just army crawled her way around all day. That night I called the doctors and they said the X-rays looked fine and they could see any fractures, so they told us it was alright to take the splint off and if she still was having problems walking to bring her back in. We took the splint off, she walked a little funny at first but now is back to her outgoing self. So I guess we will never know what was wrong, but at least it wasn't broken.

First Tramp Injury

Family Fun!
On Sunday Aug 31st we went up the canyon to where the Baers were camping to celebrate Walkers 1st birthday. We went on a hike to Doughnut Falls once we got there the little kids played in the water and the big kids(Devan, Christian and Jeff) climbed up to the falls.
Eliza loved throwing rocks into the water, although some times she didn't even look to see what she was doing, she would just pick up rocks and throw them. She almost
hit Aiden a couple of times. She was having so much fun she didn't even realize her pants and shoes were completely soaked. We decided to head back since the kids were wet and we needed to start dinner, good thing we got back and started dinner when we did because shortly after we got things started the rains came. We thought it would lighten up but no such luck. That put a real "damper" on the night, so needless to say we didn't even get to sing Happy Birthday to Walker or eat the cake. We packed the car up and headed home to get some clothes for Eliza since Grandma Turner offered to take Eliza for her first 
sleepover. Grandma said she did alright except around two in the morning she had to crawl into bed with her, Grandma thinks she got sacred because of Grandpa's snoring!Saturday the 6th we went to Lagoon, I'm not much of an roller coaster person I can go on a couple and
then I'm done for the day. It was fun just the same, we took Eliza on a couple of rides (the train, merry go round, and the ferris wheel) she didn't want to really go on the train but once we started she enjoyed it. We saw the tiger, and when we passed by it kept roaring at us, she thought that was pretty cool. As for the merry go round, she first went on with Grandpa Ron, he said she like it but when he asked her if she wanted to go again, She said "No!" I ended up taking her again while the rest of the group went on the white roller coaster, we got on a horse that moved up and down she kept saying UP, DOWN. I didn't like going 
on the ferris wheel with a little infant it just scared me the whole time because Eliza doesn't like to sit, she wanted to keep standing up, boy was I glad when we got off. Then it was time to get Eliza home for a nap, OK and I need a nap as well.
