Near Death on Christmas Eve

It was a Thursday afternoon on Christmas Eve. I was sitting on my couch when my mom came in the room. She asked me to take ingredients for the the food we were going to eat that night to my grandpa’s house. I went outside to get my bike because I obviously can’t drive. She handed me the ingredients in a bag. I got on my bike and was riding to my grandpa’s house when I stopped at a stop sign and looked left and right down the street like my mom had told me to do. No one was coming so I started down the street on my bike. All of a sudden I heard this car noise and I turned around and there was a monster truck coming straight for me. I jumped out of the way and thankfully didn’t get hurt, but it was still scary to think that I almost got run over. I learned to start learning to ride my bike on the sidewalk instead of the street.

Hand or no Hand

One day my mom’s friend ask us to feed there horses while they were on vacation. My mom agreed. We were reasponsible for feeding them for a week every night. the first three nights went fine until the fourth night. I had asked my mom if my two friends could come over that night and she agreed ,but they had to go feed with us. The two twins, my brother, Dad, Mom, and myself all went to feed. Having so much work we all split up to get it done faster. As we were waiting for a water trough to fill up we all sat ,and talked. All of a sudden the two horses in the pen started fighting. My mom panicking told us to move ,and in a blink of a eye they began to kick. Dirt flying everywhere I herd a scream. After the dust cleared I saw my mom in pain. Holding her hand I saw blood. Screaming for my dad we rushed her inside. Blood dripping off her hand, I began to cry. My dad told us we had to get her to the nearest hospital quick. Luckily a hospital only being 10 minutes away we rushed in panic. As they rushed her in intensive care I worried. Sitting there for an hour the twins mom came to get them and my brother ,but I stayed. Finally after waiting so long they finally called me back. Seeing my moms hand all wrapped up I wondered what was going to happen. Waiting another 30 min. for the result, they came. The said she was going to have to be careflited to Dallas. My mom staying at DalLas for a week, finally got the results. They told her that she would be able to use it again ,but would never have the full strength. About a month later and right know my mom uses her hand ,but for the things that she can’t do we are all here for here and ready to help.

My Very Own Easter Bunnies

I was sitting on my couch on Easter Sunday. I walked into the playroom to feed my rabbits. As I walked in, I saw little, hairless bunnies on the bottom of my female rabbit’s cage because my brother had put the two adult rabbits in the same cage. I rushed to tell my parents as they were getting ready for church. My family agreed to raise them, and then give them away when they grew up. We knew nothing about how to raise newborn rabbits, so we spent a lot of time online. It took a lot of work, but all except one survied. I learned that whatever you do, don’t let my brother near a boy rabbit and a girl rabbit that are in separate cages, or you’ll get an unexpected surprise.

One day I came from football and it was super hero day where we all had to dress like heroes. I got a lot of complements on my costume. The reason I was robin was because Liam was batman and we were taking pictures together. I was dressed as robin and I didn’t see anyone else with a robin costume so I said I was one of a kind. Then some girl walked by with a robin costume. Then everybody said I wasn’t one of a kind any more. So the lesson I learned is to not to speak to soon.

Cocoa Has Puppies

One morning my sister and I were playing outside.  We got tired from running around and went inside for some water. ” I’m so tired”, my sister said ” Lets go to your room and play Jenga.” We raced each other to my room. When we got to my room we heard barking. We opened the closet to get the game, but looked down to see my dog having puppies! My sister stayed there ,while I ran to get my mom. “Mom! ,Mom! “, I yelled from the porch to her. She was sitting in a lawn chair enjoying the weather. She jumped, ” What?!”, she yelled out of fright. “Cocoa had puppies”,  I yelled. She ended up having 4 puppies, and that is how I got my dog named Freckles!

One moment of glory

          I was on the edge of my seat. Hoping this once they would actually make it to the world series. The batter hit it behind first base. We didn’t think Moreland

would get I but then a great play might have just saved our chance of making it.

          I stood up shouting, ” they made it they made it.”  there was high fives all around in my house. I sat down and took a sigh of relief.There was a celebration that night. I couldn’t believe they had actually made it to the world series.

           I feel prideful that our Texas Rangers were the second best baseball team in the world at that moment.

I was nervous about going to Alaska to visit my aunt and uncle, because I heard it was a deadly place.

My uncle and I grabbed fishing poles to go fish for king salmon.

We went to the river behind his house and started fishing.

We snagged two king salmon, one was 35lbs and the other about 25lbs, and they took about 30 min each to pull in ,because they are so powerful, then we released them.

Don’t ever judge a book by its cover because u think that fish would never be so powerful, but that was a lesson I learned my own way.

I was camping at the farm about midnight. we were in the tent when I heard a noise outside. Hogs kept bumping into the tent. I tried to b quiet but my friend kept saying what was that. The hogs kept hitting the tent and almost knocked it over. After about 10 minuets they left. The next morning we got up and it was raining so after it stopped raining we went outside to see what they did. The ground the next morning was rutted up and tore up that is when I knew they were hogs. My opinion when they left wasn’t really different.

the perfect set

I was at the tennis courts with my mom and my brother ,so we could watch my sister play her tennis game. The first thing that happened was, she hit the ball with a perfect forehand and won the first of six games. The next game Katie had to serve in the sun so she lost that one, but she got lucky for the rest of the game cause she didn’t have to serve on the sunny side for any more games and she one the set against the girl from Crandall 6 to 1 .That night we went home and got pizza ,and I was so proud of her

Moms trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When this happened I was getting out of the car as we pulled up to the hospital. the big building stared down at me like little eyes. I walked into the hospital. The first thing that happened was my mom was care flighted the night before and I didn’t even know she was hurt my friends mom that was there when she got hurt told me because I was at her house. I got out of the car walked into the hospital and went in to go meet my dad so that I could see my mom. We signed in at the front desk then met my dad in the hallway by my moms room. I walked in and saw her she had a bunch of stiches in her head and looked a little scary. The last thing that happened was she stayed an few long nights in the hospital and then I rode home with my aunt and my mom rode home in her dads truck. I learned a lesson to always cherish what you have and to always be nice because you never know when they will be gone!
