Anyway, they left Tuesday morning and were able to spend time with him from Wednesday til Friday morning. Here are a few of the photos that Trent came back with from the trip.
Taco doesn’t look too happy about heading to Virginia and saying goodbye but we will hopefully be able to see him during the holiday’s. Fingers crossed!
]]>Even though Faith has a little cold and nothing has slowed her down, she has somehow convinced herself that she too, has the flu. Hypochondriac kids are comical.

Sadly, the video keeps getting pulled but click HERE to view it.
I literally almost pissed myself. I won’t rest until I sneak and get him on tape doing it.
Here he is showcasing some of his skills during testing.
Here he is accepting his stripe from his coaches and getting the shit beat out of him by his teammates. Yay!
This morning she texted me this news:
Very exciting things ahead for Trent!

Do you like it? It looks just like them. Especially the braces on Trent Butt-head 
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?
]]>I think I need to make myself a chore list. Maybe set some rules for myself.
]]>Now, it’s 2:40AM and I just got done watching 7 episodes back to back. I really liked it a lot. It brings back a lot of great memories of High School. *wink*
This is a description of the show from Wikipedia:
]]>Skins is a British teen drama that follows a group of teenagers in Bristol, South West England through the two years of sixth form. The controversial plot line explores issues such as dysfunctional families, personality disorders, eating disorders, mental illness, homosexuality, and death. The show was created by father and son television writers Bryan Elsley and Jamie Brittain for Company Pictures,[1] and premiered on E4 on 25 January 2007.[2]
The show is notable for its casting of amateur actors and young writers. The cast are entirely replaced every two series, when the characters leave sixth form. Skins has broadcast four series, and has been commissioned up to a sixth. A Skins film is also in production, as well as an American adaptation by MTV, set in Baltimore, Maryland.
The rest of the XFC photos can been seen here.

Dear Trent,
You turn fourteen years old today. Wow! Seriously? Fourteen? Sometimes it’s hard to believe that you are this old already. Time seems to be moving so fast. A lot has changed for you in the past year and I haven’t ignored the fact that some of those changes have been hard on you. I’ve never in all my life known someone with as much heart and determination as I see in you. You know exactly what you want for your future and you are taking the steps to make it happen, even at such a young age. You have a lot of people supporting you.
This year, you received your purple belt in Brazilian Jui Jitsu. What an accomplishment! At Belt Promotions, you really put on a show and everyone loved it. I think they’re STILL talking about it!
You were asked to shoot an interview for the Documentary “Intrepid Heart” which was really neat. I can’t wait for it to come out so I can see you and hear what you said. You better have thanked me in that piece, dude! I’m waiting to see.
You became a member of The Iron Monkey Squad Grappling team and that is an honor. You competed in a grappling tournament and took second place. In 24 short days, you will be part of the Super Fight to take back your 1st place standing and I have no doubt that you will make that happen. I know that right now you are eating/breathing/sleeping that match and won’t rest until you dominate. That’s my boy!

I’m really proud of you, Trent. Not just for the MMA accomplishments but you are truly a good kid. You have one hell of a sense of humor. I think if it wasn’t for our humor, you and I would have killed each other by now. You’re absent minded as hell and convinced that you have ADD but I know it’s just your hormones going nuts and am hopeful that in just a few short years, it will pass. I love you very much!

Faith went to work with her Daddy today for the annual “Take your child to work day”. Faith had to go out on the road with her Daddy in the big truck and help deliver paper supplies to all the schools in the district.
After they were done, they ate a good lunch and then headed home early.
She had a really great day spending it with her Daddy.
