New Mexico 2010

Tue, 20 Jul 2010 09:50:46 -0500

Sunday morning we left for New Mexico. My grandma and grandpa own a really big lodge and some guest houses up there. He owns a big pond at the bottom of his 47 acer lot. We like to catch crawdads and big trout. The ride up there was great! It takes about 12 hours from Texas and we stop in Amarillo at my dads collage roomate’s house. They have 3 daughters one 11 one 9 and one 3. When we finally got there my grandma and grandpa were sitting on there swing, waiting for us. When we hopped out of the car and unloaded all our stuff I went straight to my grandpa’s ranger. I memorized a poem and my grandpa said I would get a big prize if I memorized that poem. So when I told him that poem he said that I could get my prize on wednesday. So on wednesday I got to go fishing with my uncle, brother, cousin, dad and grandpa on Eagle Nest lake. We caught… I think 11 trout and 3 perch. We had all the trout for dinner, and the perch… we threw them away. All the girls the next day including my mom, grandma, aunt, sisters and my other cousin all went to Santa Fe. My dad went back to Fort Worth the next day to get some work done. So my brother, cousin and I all stayed with my grandpa for 3 days. We had a ball we went hunting, drove his 4 wheeler and ranger! We had a blast. When it was time to go home everybody was sad. My sisters weren’t my cousin was coming back to Fort Worth to do Music Camp at Christ Chapel with us. The ride back went by pretty fast. Only my sister vomited. When we got back home everybody was happy to see us. Of course my dog Yukon was. Well can’t wait till this winter!

Playing with a stiched-up foot

Thu, 20 May 2010 10:57:00 -0500

It was Tuesday, when the doctor said when I was going to get my stiches out. So at 5:00 in the afternoon I went to the hospital to see when I got my stiches out. My dad met me there when my mom pulled up in the driveway. Every body said Hi, then my mom left me with my dad. We went into the small room in the hospital. My dad said the doctor we were meeting was doctor Faran. The nurse came in and said, “My gosh! He is a miniature blond Corbin!” (Corbin is my dad.) My dad was laughing out loud, and I was smiling holding in laughter. When she told me and my dad I could play baseball the next day, I was overjoyed. Then Dr.Faran talked to my dad what needed to happen with the doctors and their salary.

The next day I had my first game that I was going to play with my stiches in. When I got there my team was in awe when they saw me walk down the sidewalk. “Branson how did you do it? Branson can you really play?!” My team said all at the same time. A guy on the team that we were facing said, “Is Branson really playing with a stiched-up foot?!” The softball team asked the same thing to me. “Oh Branson, are you really playing with a stiched-up foot? Oh Branson, Oh Branson, Oh Branson.” “Will everybody just be quiet!?” I asked wanting to scream. Dead silence, expect for the coaches pitching balls the the players. “Thank you.” I said putting on my batting gloves.

When I was done with batting practice me and Wyatt Allsup were warming up throwing the baseball. Westen Mulqueen asked me if I could go get the catchers gear. My coach overheard what Westen said, so he said, “You go get your catchers gear for two reasons, Branson and Wyatt are playing catch, and you actually have a foot that you can run on.” Coach told me to warm up my pitching. As I finished my warm up pitches the lead hitter came to bat. Raligh Castor. “Okay pitcher, you go.” said the umpire. First pitch… Oh, drilled Raligh in the back. “Hey it’s okay Branson.” says Wyatt Allsup. “Now he can’t cream it to center.” Wyatt said shrugging his shoulders. “Yeah.” I said laughing. “That’s a good way to look at it.”

My brother calls it my collage car, I call it my, after...

Tue, 18 May 2010 15:23:00 -0500

My brother calls it my collage car, I call it my, after I’m a doctor car.

I think my sister bit off more than she can chew.

Stiches!

Fri, 14 May 2010 19:24:00 -0500

The accident happened on Friday, May 14. I was eating breakfast while sitting on a 3ft wooden bar stool when my brother randomly laid his head down on my lap. I grabbed him by the neck and pulled him up. He got really ticked off and pulled my shirt. The bar stool tipped and I fell, trying to brace myself while falling. I struggled to get up with a puddle of blood encircling me. I felt a very, very sharp pain in my pinkie toe. Looking down, I saw a cut half an inch, to my bone. I started screaming while Hudson looked down in astonishment at my toe. He ran upstairs and hid in a corner of a room.

Cappy came over and told me to relax so that I would not feel as much pain. I wanted to freak-out and scream, but I eventualy calmed down. Daboo said we were going to go meet my dad at the hospital. My dad has worked at the JPS hospital for three years. He isn’t a doctor, he is the CEO of the doctors group at JPS. So when we met him there, we went to the ER and the doctors were diciding if they were going to give me stitches. After the X-ray and after that they said they were going to have to give me stitches. I was very emotional, when they pulled out a three-inch sirenge, that was only the needle. I wanted to pass-out so I didn’t have to see it. They numbed the surface of my toe and jabbed the needle in my toe. The sirenge numbed the inside of my toe. Then they started to sew the stiches in. I really can’t tell you about that part because it is a little disturbing. After they gave me a little foot brace I got in the car and went to Gingas Grill.

Uninvited Guests

Mon, 03 May 2010 11:09:00 -0500

His heart was pounding. He was sure he had seen the doorknob turn.

“Mom?” Jack asked. All he heard was footsteps coming down the hall. Jack skidded quietly to his room upstairs. Jack was frozen solid in terror. He scrambled for his pocket knife. Just then he heard banging on his bedroom door. He thought, “How could I be so stupid to not lock the door?”

He heard one man whispering, “Before we send him we have got to ask him where it is.”

“Okay,” said the other man. The moment later the door broke down. They were both in black suits. One had a machine gun. The other had a shotgun. One man was white, one was black. The black man grabbed him by the collar and said, “Kid, stay still or this will be your last night.” While the white man was digging through all of his drawers, the white man asked, “Kid where is the chip?”

“What chip?” asked Jack in a shaky voice.

The white man answered, “The one your dad gave you for your 12th birthday.”

“I threw it away.” Jack lied.

“Let’s send him. He isn’t giving us any help.”

“Send me where?” Jack asked?

“Of course!” The white man went over to Jack’s thermostat and twisted it a couple times. Then part of the wall slid out. The white man took out the piece of the wall. It had a computer chip in it. Just then a blue van pulled up in the drive-way. “MOM!” Jack screamed. She came running up to his room. “Mom, these two men are about to kill me!” Jack said.

The white man said, “Sarah?”

Sarah (Jack’s mom) asked, “Bill?”

“Okay there is no time for this!!!” the black man said.

“Dad, is that you?” Jack asked.

“Yes.” Bill said in a sad tone.

“Why did you go dad?! Why did you leave me here for mom to take care of?!!” Jack screamed.

“I….I…I am sorry Jack, I did it to keep you safe.” Bill said.

“From what, murders?!” Jack asked harshly.

“No, monsters. Like you.” Bill said with his tone still sad.

Jack calmed down a little. “Okay but, what monster am I?” Jack asked.

“The worst of all, a Flameo.” Bill said.

“Ok just send me where you want,” Jack said trying to hold back tears.

“Mars, all the Flameos live there. Say bye to your mom.” Bill said. “James is the ship ready?” Bill asked.

“Yeah.” James (black man) said.

“James, put the computer chip in.” Bill said.

“Set.” James said.

“5,4,3,2,1 lift off.” James said.

“There goes my Jack.” Sarah said.

“Our Jack.” Bill said.

“Why did you have to send him Bill, he was only 13?!” Sarah asked crying.

“I scanned him and he would have destroyed the world in 4 days.” Bill said.

“Another reason is, there is one more to destroy.” Bill said.

“And if they combined as one, the world would be destroyed.” Bill said. Just then the wall broke down.

“Flameo.” Bill whispered.

“GET DOWN!” James screamed.

Fwoosh. A huge line of flame went right above their heads.

“Man that was close!” James said.

“Yeah, if you get any closer you will catch fire and disintegrate in 2 seconds.” Bill said.

“Get in Jack’s room! NOW!” Bill screamed.

“Crud.” James said as a ball of flame and gas came straight toward his face.

“What the heck are you doing?!” Bill asked loudly.

“Calling the fire department!” James said very nervous.

“Put down the phone, stupid!” Bill said as he slammed the door.

“Jack’s walls are fireproof, so the Flameo can’t get in.” Sarah said.

“Yeah but they aren’t collapseproof, are they?” James asked struggling, while he was pushing the door.”

“Go get the hose in the front lawn.” Sarah said.

How am I going to do that?!” James asked with his face bright red still struggling with the door.

“The window.” Bill said as he took hold of the door.

James jumped through the window with the glass breaking behind him.

“So just me and you now.” Sarah said in a sweet and soft tone.

“Yeah, I guess.” Bill said with his face turning red from partly Sarah, and partly holding the door tight.

“SO NOT TIME FOR THIS!” James said getting the hose ready from down below.

Two minutes later James yelled, “Have you ever took a swim flameo? I don’t think so!”

Just then, the tempature got 30degrees lower.

“I am so beast!” James yelled.

“Humble James, humble.” Bill said.

I Fly, and we spot a problem at my house

Mon, 26 Apr 2010 11:14:00 -0500

I went on a plane ride in my grandpas homemade plane on April 25 2010. While my mom and dad were in Austin.My brother and I were playing ping pong upstairs in the attic. Then he told me Cappy (our grandpa) was going to take us on a plane ride. It took about 15 minutes for it to get started. When it booted up my brother hopped in and took a ride first. Me and Daboo (our grandma) were riding our bikes to the runway, wich was just across the street. When the took off, they made sure they were going aginst the wind because that would get them up in the air easier. They were flying for about 15 minutes. When they landed they pulled in and Cappy told me to go hold the front of the plane. After my brother got out he went around and did my job while I got in the 2 seater very easy. First thing I did was buckled my seat belt, then i put the headphones on. We can communacate with the headphones by speaking into a little speaker. When we took off I could feel the strong gravitional pull. When we were at about 2,000 feet he showed me 9:00, 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, and so on. He told me, “You got the airplane.” I said, “What is that supposed to mean.” He said, “It means you are controling the airplane.” I said, “No, no I dont know how to fly.” He said, “Branson all you have to do is move the stick a little bit to turn it.” So I did it was awesome I flew for about 15 minutes did hard turns and flew to downtown FortWorth. After I flew he said, “I got the airplane.” Then he said, “Hold on to your stomach were doing a wing over. For you people who don’t know what a wing over is, it is somthing that would make every ride at Six Flags look very little. It is were you go straight up to 3,000 feet then turn and go straight down. We did about five of those. I asked if we could fly over my house, so we did. I looked in our driveway for our white Subruban, I saw the Subruban with a black van in the driveway. I said, “Cap cicirle around again!” He asked, “What is wroung? I said, “There is a black van in our drive way!” He said, “Thats not good at all.” He said, “I see it, and thats not good.” So we came in and landed. When we got to the house I asked Daboo if I could call Mama and Papa to go check at home. So I called them. I asked, “Could you go check on Yukon and the house. Papa said, “We have been here 20 minutes already.” That was them in the driveway, not a robber. So that solved our little problem.

I got my own playing cards.

K-Life

Wed, 21 Apr 2010 14:07:00 -0500

I went to K-Life with Wyatt Allsup. First we showed up at the house and played water balloon toss. Me and Wyatt both got soaked by it splatting on us. Then we went inside and danced around the big open room. After that we played another game that they made up words and we had to tell them what we thought it was. They told us to sit down and not talk at all. Then they brought out doughnuts on a stick, one kid yelled, “DOUGHNUTS!!!!!” But everybody was quiet except that one kid was quiet. We played limbo with the doughnuts on the stick. When you went under you had to take a bite of a doughnut. After that they poured all the spare of doughnuts on the ground, all the boys went diving into the pile with me and Wyatt. To finish it off one of the leaders told us a bible story about how special you should feel every day. With that we all had a spirthday. (special day) With awesome cake!

AVATAR

Wed, 14 Apr 2010 12:40:00 -0500

I think the movie AVATAR would be like World War III on a different planet. If you haven’t seen this action and adventure movie, you should get it on DVD. In the first part of AVATAR they introduce you to Jake Sully. His brother, a great scientist, was mugged and then died. So Jake took his brother’s place as a scientist and went to Pandora to work with the Navi and communicate with them to learn more about them.

As a cripple, Jake transported himself into an Navi body. He gets in and out of his Navi body by a little thing that looks almost like a time capsule. He gets a little too obsessed with the Navi and blends in with their culture. That makes war.

Rated PG-13 ages 13 and up for use of Violence, language, and disturbing images.

Allergies

Mon, 12 Apr 2010 14:32:00 -0500

I have never had allergies before, but on April 11, 2010, I had an allergy breakdown! I was at my church’s picnic playing football with high school kids when they started acting up. One of my eyes got elbowed and was extremely red! Then when I went back out to go play more football, my other eye started acting up too. Both of my eyes were itching like crazy! I had to rub and rub them to get the pain out. I went over to my mom and said, “My eyes are killing me. I’ve got to get out of here!”

So we got on the road and went straight to Walgreens. My dad bought some medicine and we got right back on the road and drove home. When we walked in the house I went straight up to the shower and cleaned all the pollen out of my hair. I went downstairs and my mom was trying to get Hudson, Basden and Esther in the bed. After my dad got off the phone I asked, “Who were you talking to?”

He said, “One of my doctors. The doctor said you need to wash out your eyes well.” Back to the shower I went and washed out my eyes. The next few days I couldn’t go outside at all. The next day it got better and I could go outside.

Phillies vs Yankees

Fri, 09 Apr 2010 13:23:00 -0500

My little league game started at 5:30 against the Yankees. I was pitching to one of my friends Stewart Norment and his team. Stewart, third in the line-up, came up to bat with one man on base. The pitch count was 2 strikes, 2 balls.

Then I threw it… BOOM! I could hear the hollow sound of the combat cracking as that ball flew over the fence. I thought about what I was going to do - stomp around on the mound like a normal pitcher, or act far from a normal pitcher and clap for him? I behaved far from a normal pitcher, that is for sure because Mrs. Norment came over and told my mom and dad how touching it was to have me clapping.

Hey, and Stew, if you’re out there reading this, that was a nice hit! Next time we play, we’re going to win.

Lost Dog

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 11:23:00 -0600

You all know my 11-year-old husky, Yukon. If you don’t, you can learn about him on the post Attack. Me, my brother, and TCU pitcher Paul Gerrish went down to the park to play baseball. We saw a pretty big hole in the fence and Yukon was staring through it. We thought, “He’ll be fine.” But when we came home Yukon was gone. We went inside and saw that somebody had called, so we called them back. A lady had found Yukon and put him in her backyard. But by the time we called her back, she was at McDonalds eating with her grandson.

My mom came home. I said to her in a frightened voice, “We need to go get Yukon!” So we jumped in the car. The lady came out of her house and growled like a bear, “He’s GONE!”

I thought, “Lady, you don’t come barreling out of a house and say to a 10-year-old that LOVES his dog, He’s GONE!!!!!”

I was sooooo mad I was about to come over there and level her! I mean, she could have just gone and put him in our backyard! So we got back in the car and drove around the other side of Fort Worth for an hour. Then Basden and her friend, who had been watching a movie in the backseat the whole time, moaned, “We want to go home.” So my dad left work early to help look for Yukon and the two of us drove around for another two hours.

Finally, we got a call. We sped to another lady’s house she had Yukon there. She opened her garage door, and I had to hold the tears back by swallowing hard. There Yukon sat, eating cat food and not wanting to go home. We thanked the lady so much, but on the car ride home my dad was afraid Yukon would puke from the cat food. I was relieved to have Yukon home!
