Cheer Tryouts

These are from 2 weeks ago.  I found Amy's and my Confirmation pictures.  

Eli went with me instead of Noah to acrylic pouring.  

This was an ocean theme.  

Eli put so much paint on there it might never dry.  

A week ago Saturday, Ariel had high school cheer tryouts at 8 am.  I took her and waited.  She wasn't sure how she did and was so nervous.  

She was with her besties.  

They have to take advantage of the sun!

My cousins from Florida were in.  We had breakfast at Ben & Irvs.  

They came to our house to hang.  

My girlie.  

It was so nice to see them but they had to head out.  

Noah's soccer game.  

My dad and Amy's parents came to watch.  

Such a pretty day.  

 

The Golf Champion

Two weeks ago Monday, I played my first round of golf.  It was a charity event for our synagogue.  I've always wanted to go and it was my drive to learn golf, but that hadn't gone very well.  I went anyway!  

All lined up and ready to go!

My foursome.  By buddy Dave and 2 other guys he knew.  They took good care of me and taught me a lot.  

We got some swag.

One hole had a gun!

Boom!

The golf carts were so cool.  They had GPS.  

They said for a beginner, I did pretty well.  We played best ball which means we all shoot and then we all shoot from the spot of the best first shot.  Needless to say, I was not usually the best shot but I'm proud to say that 5 of my balls were the best!

It was exhausting to play 18 holes!  I had a lot fon fun though.  We had some great talks.  

While we were out there, Amy and the girls were playing mahjong.  

Then we all met for lunch.  

I was so happy we got to experience this together!

Hey Ali!

Aden was acknowledged for his scholarship from the synagogue.  

They had some awards.  Our team sadly didn't win.  

That night, Eli had his orchestra concert.  

Pep talk by the principal.  

There's Eli.

Great job kids!

Eli hates having his picture taken.  Lol.  

 

Back. Sort of.

It's been the longest 2 weeks of my life and the hardest.  I was going to do some memorials to mom but I'm just not ready yet.  Everyone has been taking the loss of my beautiful mom really hard.  I will tell you more eventually.

Back to 2 weekends ago.  That Saturday, I ran errands with Eli and R2D2.  

Ranny and Neta, our cousins from Israel came to visit.  It was so great to see them!

We took them to Noah's soccer game in the cold rain.  He played and we caught up.  

Good game Noah and Dylan!

After lunch, I took them to the train so they oculd head back to NY.  

That night, I took Ariel and her friends for ice cream.  

That Sunday, we went to Amy's parents for brunch.  

The dogs had fun.  

Eli and Gwen roade bikes and tried to teach Noah.  

We played mahjong.  

Noah played by himself and won!

The next game, I played with Melissa and we won!

Eli went to Ari's birthday party that afternoon.  

I smoked ribs.

I drove late at night in the mist.
