Lets Go Reds!

Tonight the Reds have a chance to clinch the National League Central with a Reds win or a Cardinals loss. Ryder is sporting his jersey he got for his birthday in hopes of a celebration tonight. Although i'm sure he won't be celebrating quite as hard as some of his big league buddies, Mommy and Daddy might let him have some ice cream or something.

With the Reds having such an amazing season and seemingly heading to the playoffs I feel as if we are constantly asked the "do you want them to win it all?" question. It's such a touchy subject don't you think? Would I prefer my husband wasn't on year number two of rehab and was instead out there with his friends enjoying such success? Of course I do, but it still doesn't take away from the excitement I feel for some of our best friends. We will cheer them on whole-heartedly, and hope for a repeat next year along with an amazing addition of a healthy relief pitcher fresh off of two Tommy John surgeries :)

On a side note.... Derrik is anti-converse shoes. He had told me a while back that Ryder better not have any, but more and more a lot of Ryder's clothes tend to look weird with a regular sneaker. He needed a skater-ish style shoe, and these suckers were on sale for $9 at Wal-Mart yesterday. We tried them on and somehow convince Derrik we couldn't leave without them.... I just think they are sooo adorable...
