Yup, those are the trophies from my years as a soccer star. I know they are cheap and plastic, but I've held on to them because for so long that's who I was - a good soccer player - and I guess I kept them to remind me of that. Now they just collect dust and take up space, and its time for them to be thrown out. There is a pathetically prideful part of me that wanted to hold on to them still, but before I could say anything, Josh was carrying them to the trash can, singing "Glooory daaays". He was just jealous that he didn't have that many trophies.
So while Josh & I cleared out our junk from the garage, the girls were busy with some new toys.
Lydia has a golf putter. She's even been out to the driving range with dad. It's a bonus that our backyard collects some pretty nice golf balls from the course just outside our fence.
Claire has a new tree swing (bday gift)
I love looking out the back window to see them pushing each other and taking turns on the swing. So glad its not me out in that heat.
Scarlett has a new walker... ready for the Cali vacation.
And Scarlett has new teeth! Just like Claire...her front middle teeth are slow to come in, so for now she's a vampire baby!

Love the vampire teeth! And I know what you mean about sentimental stuff. I still have a cedar chest at my mom's house full of sentimental rubbish. One of these days I will clear it out!
Scarlett has the most beautiful smile it just melts your heart >>>(Pat)<<< You need to hold onto those football (sorry - soccer)trophies cos when you reach 60 they will hold lots of memories (try this song from the Byrds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olqvPg3GL1M) Now you will need to rescue them from the bin (sorry - trash can) >>>(Jim)<<< Ha Ha.
I had my dancing trophies for a long time. When I came home from my mission I finally threw them all out. It's weird to realize that's not us anymore. But our new tropies are so much better and so much cuter. :)
