Benson "THE WALL" Our GREAT Little Soccer Player

Things here have been crazy with everything we have going on, but I at least want to catch up on Benson's soccer playing!
Benson played soccer this fall and HAD A BLAST! I was able to coach (assistant coach), even though towards the end it was hard coaching while being prego. He was SO GOOD and earned the nick name of "THE WALL" because he played defense and NEVER let a ball pass him by. He always got a foot on it somehow and always managed to help save the goalie from getting scored on. It was a non competitive league so everyone was always a winner! There were some kids on the team who had played for a couple of seasons and were really skilled, then there was some who just had fun kicking the ball (Benson was a ball kicker), and then there were a couple that liked to just turn circles on the field as they were off in LA LA LAND. It was always fun though and AS ALWAYS Britton was Benson's BIGGEST fan. Now Britton can not wait to play either.

Even when it is COLD COLD COLD we are out there PLAYING HARD and supporting our Benson Boo:

Then at the end of the season we had an AWESOME team party where we went to the bowling alley and had pizza, gave out trophies, bowled and just had a blast as a team. Now Benson's and Britton's favorite thing to do is bowl and he asks if we can do it almost every day. Which is great because us Pearce's love to bowl! YEAH!

Benson, Britton and Casey (a fellow soccer player) awaiting their yummy pizza at the team party:


Benson received his second trophy (Tball being his first) and is so excited to put it on his dresser at home!

Ohh, how fun, I just can't wait until this summer when my oldest will be able to play (hopefully he will want to)! Benson looks so cute out there playing and his brother is such a great helper! I miss soccer!
