Fun with Ellie-Hailey and Hunter just adore cousin Ellie. She just turned 8 months and is such a cutie.
"Don't you like it when I'm so stylish mom?"-Yes, that is a direct quote. Hailey found this hat that my friend Heidi made when Hails was just a wee babe. She's been wearing it around a lot recently and is very excited to get to wear it in the snow in Utah (hope there is some for her then).
You know how in all those Cinderella movies if someone is wearing a mask the other characters have no idea who it is?? Well, this scary one is my Hunter.
Ah yes, so this past weekend Ben and I went on this little lunch cruise on Lake Conroe. Long story short, we stayed at this place over the summer, there were a few problems with the accomodations and such (like, why did I leave there with a large swollen spider bite??) and when we complained a little they said we could do a complimentary lunch cruise on the southern empress. It was a lot of fun even if the boat was pretty run down. It was built to look like an old paddle boat, which was fun. 
Here we are pretending to steer the boat-sorry the pic is so dark. I'm surprised that you can't see how ratty the "captains quarters" were. There were like missing knobs and things hanging from the ceiling. I did get to blow the horn though, that was pretty cool.
Here comes my favorite part: it was a two hour cruise and the first hour was this really good buffet lunch. We walked into the dining room and saw three tables of ladies from the red hat society. They were so cute. Well, for the second hour we could move downstairs where they played some music and we could dance if we wanted... 
Oh, and Ben and I got down too. I get really nervous dancing and the ladies were coaching me and counting out steps for me and such. It was sooo funny.
Bet you didn't realize I had moves like this!! I was so embarassed to do this one actually.

(Keep in mind you have to be over 50 to be in the club)

Glad Hailey still likes that hat. I am shocked it still fits her!
Free food and no spider bites. Sounds good to me!
Literally giggled out loud seeing the pictures of you dancing with those sweet old ladies...then I imagined the rest of the situation in my head and giggled a little more. OH and tara's comment reminded me that it is my turn to call you too...I promise after all the holiday hullabloo I will call you! Have fun in Utah and with your mom!
