The month is
gone…
We took the
kids to SLC for a wrestling tournament that had 2 parts to it. Hunter and Dallin both wrestled and took
first in the “True Beginner” portion of the tournament. It was a fun trip. We swam – Trish and Matthew came up and
brought their girls, we went to the Aquarium before we came home – the kids
loved that. We also did temple square
and were able to see all the lights on the final night they were going to be
on. The kids loved that. The visitor’s center was “So amazing” – they
hadn’t been to the SLC visitor’s center before.
I was
battling what was diagnosed as Perioral Dermatitis that whole week….it was very
painful and the prescription that I had to be on was one that lasted 30
days. My chin was a disaster.
Later in the
month we took Hunter and Dallin ( and one of Hunter’s friend’s, Tysen) to
another wrestling tournament in LaGrande, Oregon. This was also a fun tournament. We let Gwendalin and Tyler stay with Trish
and Matthew at home for this over nighter…and they got to play with
friends. The boys did well, they were
pleased with their efforts they both took 2nd place.
Overall the
month was busy and fun. Hunter seems to
be struggling with school, social life.
Travis and I are concerned on a number of levels for him. We constantly butt heads, we are struggling
to be respectful (well, Hunter is) – he is lost. We finally got him in with LDS Social
Services to see a counselor and see if perhaps he can help him navigate through
this hard time. It is awful as a parent
to watch your child struggle so much and not be able to do anything about
it. We just try to love him and help him
in whatever ways we can and hope that the Lord will make up the
difference. It’s hard, REALLY HARD. I don’t know that I would ever jump on the
parenting ship if I knew how hard it was going to be.
