Toward my hands the ball comes
My eyes darting from receiver to receiver
All of the receivers are covered, making my mind spin
Stepping up in the pocket huge lineman around me
Boom!
My body tenses as the nose guard hits me from behind
My mind tells me that I’m going to fall, but that isn’t an answer
I put my hand down and balance myself and it works
I sprint across the line they call the line of scrimmage
Juking the linebacker and across the 50
I beat the safety and sprint into the end zone
My breaths short and heart pumping
I have scored a touchdown

Amazing Football Catch
Since it is football season right now, I was looking for an amazing football catch. I decided to look it up on You Tube and found this video. I think that this is one of the best catches of all time. How he forgets about everything and just dive backwards, catching the ball with one hand; not to mention having a defenseman on him. I thought that this video was definitely worth a spot on my blog.
My Birthday Present
Wednesday was my birthday! I woke up in the morning forgetting that it was my birthday, but then suddenly it hit me, BAM! I got out of bed and ran down stairs. My mom and dad were waiting for me with my sister. There was a big banner above our bar saying, “Happy Birthday Peyton!” I was very happy. I had a big waffle for breakfast with candles in it. Then I went to school. School was okay, a lot of people wished me happy birthday so that was good. My mom said she was going to bring me lunch on my birthday so that made me happy. I got to have, what I think, are some of the best sandwiches in town, Jersey Mikes Subs! As always I got BLT that was delicious and some sea salt and vinegar chips that are almost sour but not. The are for sure my favorite chips of all time. I finished school, went home, and ate a great dinner of steak and mashed potatoes.
Suddenly my sister, her boyfriend, and my mom just left! They were gone for three hours! Eventually they got home and told me to come to the garage… I opened the door and… Sitting there was a huge, lawn mower engine, 6.5 horsepower go kart! I was overjoyed! I couldn’t believe that they had gotten me one! I took a quick drive around our driveway with a smile from ear to ear. Right when I got in the garage, a wave of exhaustion hit me. So I went to bed with a huge smile.
