    Packer and Benji Play Soccer – 2012

    No Comments

    We had our last soccer Saturday this last weekend. I say last meaning the last one until Fall when we start a new season. I believe we will have MANY soccer Saturdays from here on out.

    This was Packer’s first year playing. Ben was able to coach his team. His cousins Luca and Sam were both on the team and and Calista requested Coach Ben since her older brother has been on his teams. Calista brought a lot of her friends and we had a good time.

    The Yellow Stingers! Coach Ben, Eli, Jake, Luca, Calista, Evelyn, Trevor, Packer, Sam

    Packer is in the middle... he learned a lot this year but was not very aggressive - very similar to his older brother BUT he says he wants to play again next season so we will keep at it.

    Cousins - Luca, Sam and Packer

    We are a little worried about when Cali is ready to play in another year. Ben would love to coach all 3 but it would be very time consuming and I’m afraid games would over lap. I would love to help more but I have toooo many babies that need me 🙂 So – – I am curious to see what we end up doing when that time comes. In the mean time… Benji’s team was all returning from last year! They all came back for more fun and it was fun. They are finally starting to get the game. Benji got his first goal this season and he has improved a lot.

    Benji - end of 3rd year.

    Blue Flames - Kael, Austin, Connor, Benji, Gabe - Annie, Maddy , Ben, Julia, Allie

    Benji learned to go to the ball instead of away! Pokemon Cards were incentive this year.

    Cousins - Benji and Julia. Next year they split boys and girls so this was their last year together 🙁

    Ben has loved being their coach. I love going to every game even though I have crazy babies:

    happy times

    Hancock’s came to visit!

    Than and Erica decided to come to Utah last week so we got to play and hang out just like the old days. They came on Wednesday morning and we visited and played and ate Cafe Rio and talked until late. The next day I let Benji and Packer stay home from school to play all day. Benji says that Pacen is still his best friend. I wonder how long that will last. Might last a while because Benji counts his cousins in a different category so Pacen may never be replaced. ALL of the kids played together really well. We did have a few Rose-Gentry screaming matches but nothing out of the ordinary. I ended up being sick all day on Thursday (Mastitis again 🙁 ) I let Erica take care of me and our kids – sorry E. And then they had to go that night. It was short but AWESOME. We love our Hancock’s.

    Everyone except Ray. Shoving bread in our mouths so we won't be hungry at the park.
