VERY FUN BUT BUSY WEEKEND!!!

I am actually getting a post out in a timely manner instead of weeks or months :)
Friday- Ashlee brought home her interim and has made GREAT strides so far this year!!! Then we took a huge step and left Allysa and Julia in charge of their siblings so we ( Langs and Mascos) could attend Heather D's BIG 40!! Initially, we said we would be home by 9:30 (more like 11) and took bets on who would call first !!! I am surprised to say- NO ONE called and the Lang's house was still standing and there was NO blood shed!!! Heather had a great party and I got to know Allysa's "boyfriend" ( I say that loosely since it is only 6th grade) parents better!!! We found out his stepdad went to Bethany so we spent alot of time talking about the Valley and PGH!! What a small world! One thing I will say- they have a GREAT dynamic and BC is one lucky boy to have is parents ( mom, dad , stepdad) get along so well!! GREAT family!

Saturday- I took Ashlee to her first OSU game!!! What a PERFECT day: SUNNY plus the BUCKS won!!! Ashlee enjoyed herself and of course you saw my last post so you are up to date there :)!
I think the BIGGEST thrill was too see Terrelle Pryor bend down and make sure he shook/hit each of the 4 girls hand!! He really went out of his way and it was not until he stood up the Brenda and I realized what had happened!!! In the slide show you will see him I got a pic as he stood up !!! What a neat experience!
After we got home we went car shopping with Kevin! He was told his car needed more work than it was worth so we went looking and then to dinner. After that I was DONE!!!!

Sunday- it was the usual minus a Steeler game and the fact we went pumpkin picking!!! We tend to cheat there and go to my Aunt's neighbor who plants them every year! It is great- NO crowds, no waiting and FREE!!! Next up the D2 Cowboys who are not having the best season but those boys play their heart out!!!!
Kevin showed up late after buying his car- a 2008 Honda Accord but he is happy it has a sunroof and is getting closer to what he wants!

Up this week- my new floors and doors get installed!!!!

Hocking Hills 2010- Year 3

Hocking Hills 2010!
I am not sure what I can say here except that I am blessed with the BEST FRIENDS in the world!!! As always, FUN, FUN and MORE FUN!!! Of course, there is always ALOT of ALCOHOL that leads to ALOT of LAUGHING! Without saying more just enjoy the pics and slide slow!!! 2011 HH should be just as amazing, can not wait to start planning again!!!!!!!!!! Love You All!

Christa and her amazing talents!!!

Girls Weekend- Indian Lake

After lots of talking and narrowing down a date, it finally happened- Girls Weekend. Jill's family has a house on Indian Lake and they graciously let us use it for a weekend get away. We planned all the meals out and brought our favorite beverages. It was perfect- sunny, great food, lots of beverages and most of all great friends.
We got to chat, watch movies, hang out at the fire pit and most of all just enjoy NO KIDS or HUSBANDS!!!!
Jill- Thanks for hosting and please thank the family for allowing us to use the house.

Ho-Ho-Ho

Santa made an early visit to the Mascolino, Wendel, Juenger, James and Hile families, this has been a tradition for our family for the past 4 or 5 years and some much longer. It is a great way to kick of the Holiday Season. I say it often but I have been blessed with the most wonderful set of friends . For me they are family, I know I can count on them for the good and bad times...
Unfortunately since Friday, behavior has taken a turn for the worst and Jonathon our elf returned to North Pole to report to Santa. He left the girls a note, that they had 4 days to get it together and maybe he will get to come back and Santa will take them off the naughty list.
Enjoy the pics and slide show.
