Fall Soccer

I guess we have entered the "Soccer Mom" stage of life... although it won't be official until I get my minivan and a "Soccer Mom" bumper sticker.  :)

We put Ben in soccer this fall and he has loved every minute of it.  (It is a great schedule, 30 minutes of practice and 30 minutes of "game" on Saturday morning.)  He is rather shy normally and must be greatly encouraged to try new things (like his mother), however soccer has brought out a side of Ben we have rarely seen.  On the field he is confident, is not afraid to go after the ball and extremely focused (the latter trait we see often).  He loves to play and makes most of the team goals and... much to his mother's dismay... does a little "victory walk" after each goal.  So, here are a few pictures to document the event. :)  Enjoy...

Ben being a goof ball.  We try to go early and play each week. He likes to play goalie.

Naomi loves soccer too!  Although she spends the majority of the game time playing in the rocks and dirt.

Game Time!


Herding Cats!  His coach is so great, and this past week the other coach was sick so he had both teams.


Classic Ben.
Could be one of my favorite pictures...


Ben and his Team. :)
