A Night at the Races

Kyle and Reed are still begging me every breath to take them to the "dirt bike track".
Coupled with Jason taking them a few Friday nights ago to see JR's friend, Steven, race his BMX bike, they haven't stopped asking to go.

We had a free Friday night this weekend and decided to take them to the races.
We weren't sure they'd let them race (being that Strider bikes don't even have pedals) but the BMX folks were very welcoming and Kyle and Reed couldn't have been more excited. 

Race #1 (Kyle's the green bike, Reed's is the yellow)

Serious faces at the start


Reed started out with the lead (these races showed us just how competitive Reed is)


But after wiping out 3 times, Kyle got the lead on him.


And finished in 1st!
(The nice thing about only having 2 racers in your division is you know you're gonna win 1st or 2nd!)


After his big 1st place win, he thought he was one of the big guys.


Race #2



Reed was not going to let Kyle beat him this time.  Just look at Reed's face compared to Kyle's!


And this time, Reed was way out in front

And was able to hold on to his lead for the win!

JR congratulating his brothers.


And then, just when they thought the night couldn't get any better, they were presented with trophies for their big wins.
Which means they're now totally hooked and in love with with the BMX track.

Fashion Fabulous Friday


'Dirt' is the new black edition.

If you'd asked me which of my kids would be begging me to take them to the "dirt bike race track" everyday I certainly wouldn't have picked this one.


I can't wait to see how excited he's going to be when he finds out biking has "costumes". 


I also can't wait to see his daddy's face when he picks out a pink one!


But, The Fashionista has spoken.


Dirt is totally "in".
