The Smell of Victory

So we went with some friends to the Frisco Rough Riders game (minor league team). Good times for sure. We've gone to several games with them before and always have a good time. They have a little boy who is a couple months older than Nicholas so they get to play and socialize during the game. Anyway so this game we were standing outside near the entry gates when this girl came up to us asking how old our babies were. We told her and she got all excited and asked if we would be a part of their Diaper Derby. They needed one more baby to make 3 and they needed to crawl. I left the decision up to our friend b/c they were her tickets. But Ryan, her baby was just getting into walking and was not going to crawl anywhere if he didn't have to. So the girl asked us and Nicholas is still crawling most of the time so we said sure why not.

So in between one of the innings we had to go down to some ally and wait for them to roll out the "racing stripes". He was against 2 girlies. Keith and I gave him a pep talk before the match, so he was totally pumped. Keith was really smart in saying that he would be the releaser and I would be the catcher since he is totally a momma's boy through and through. Proved to be the edge we needed.

On your mark, get set....GO!!!!!

And they're off. Nick's in the lead....

He's 1/2 way there burning up the carpet. If you look in the background you can see Nick on the megatron. Heheheh.

But then we got side tracked with all the commotion of everyone yelling in the stands. It was pretty funny. The girly on his right caught up, I thought he was going to lose. Tension was high....

He lost focus there for a second but shook it off and was back on track.


But we lost that focus again at the finish line. He was more interested in the "finish line tape". Had to touch it and tried to taste it.

Finally though after losing interest int he tape he decided to cross it to come see me after much wearing of the nerves...ha. And the winner is......NICHOLAS! WOOO!!!!! FYI (We're not really that hard core).

So concludes the Victory of Nicholas and his winnings of the T-shirt that says "The Smell of Victory Diaper Derby"
