Trent got a sponsorship manager yesterday and she is working very hard to get him new sponsors for his tournaments coming up. I spoke with her throughout the day yesterday and she wanted me to snap a few headshots of Trent. This is the best photo of them all.

This morning she texted me this news: 

Very exciting things ahead for Trent!

Faith is the easiest person on earth to get a picture of.  She has no issues dropping whatever she is doing and smiling or posing for the camera. The boys are very different. Trey makes weird faces and will not take it seriously no matter how much I threaten him. Trent puts his hand up and just refuses to be photographed all together. Because of this, I always have a photo of Faith as my background on my Blackberry. Since I want to see my boys on there sometimes, I had to go searching for a good photo.

Do you like it? It looks just like them. Especially the braces on Trent Butt-head

Trent is the type of person that keeps everything separate at all times. He keeps his family at home safe and sound, his friends at school, and his MMA buddies at the gym. He never mixes the two. Ever.
When school was about to let out for the summer, he was upset because he was going to miss his friends. Why he cannot invite his friends over here, or go places with them is beyond me. He’s asked, he just always makes up excuses not to go or have anyone over.
For example:

It reads (in actual English, not teenager style);

Friend: Trent! You shouldn’t be babysitting today! Grr.
Trent: “I know, right? I’m so bored!”

I look up at him and say “Trent, when the hell did you babysit?” and he says, “Oh I wasn’t, I was just making up an excuse not to go somewhere.”

What 14 year old wants to stay home with his parents and siblings on a weekend?

When I started out the summer, I started it with a clean house. I vowed to keep up with my household chores so that on the days that I am not watching Ryley, I could spend the entire day in the pool. Worked for a while but now my house is a mess,I’ve completely lost my tan, I should be in the pool, and I cannot seem to get motivated. I hate when my house is in disarray. Makes me feel very scatter brained so as soon as I am done with this blog post, I’m going to send the kids out to the pool, get started and not stop until I am finished.

I think I need to make myself a chore list. Maybe set some rules for myself.
