Weekend Guest Part 2

Although, WVernon stayed the weekend this is the only picture we have of him at our house. I know, I know, our reputation will be ruined! But we did take pictures! It was only that our resident photographer used WVernon's camera instead of ours. So if you want to see the whole story head on over to the Vernon Family Happenings. (When he gets a post posted. Hint, hint. *EDIT: He did*)
Anyway, while WVernon was here we attended our cousins birthday. There are only minimal pictures here too. But they are good! :)
The Birthday Boy and his Momma

Presents!!

Party Guests being entertained with scented play-doh. Not that Play-doh isn't already scented but supposedly it smelled "fruity".

More guests, but this time their entertainment was the ecstatic fans of OSU basketball. Just as the buzzer went off there was a leap and a shout- OSU was headed into overtime! In which we rejoice to say they stomped Xavier. :)

The family Patriarch

That's better :)

Square Dance

This past week we had the enjoyment of spending an evening with friends from church. We watched a game called "Axis and Allies", did little girl's hair, ate dinner, and went to a square dance! Most of the pictures from the square dance are blurry, however, we hope you still enjoy them!
