Boat Captain

 It was another successful weekend at the lake with family and friends. Thanks to Mikey and Maw, I was busy fishing, tubing and having a great time.

 One of my favorite parts of being at the lake is getting to drive the boat with Mikey. He is so sweet to let me drive and even lets me honk the horn every once a while.

 Here is Maw and daddy tubing. A little competitive to say the least!

 Here I am trying to figure out how this water gun works.

 Here is daddy showing off his wakeboard skills. Showoff...

Brady cutting our dinner into fillets.. Yummy!

More waterguns. This time daddy was the target.

This is me sleeping sitting up at the end of the day. Whew, the lake can take the life out of a little girl!!!

Mommy time!

 Mommy has hogged the blog for the second time and let me tell you that it won't happen again. The spotlight is suppose to me, hince the name, "Ella Faith Petersen" at the top of the page. Anyways, I am glad my mommy had some adult time attending the Best Dressed Luncheon with Maw and some friends.

 Mommy loves to get out every once and a while and do girly stuff. Maybe that's where I get my femimine traits. What do ya think? She doesn't do it very often but I was noticed that when she does, she is in a lot better mood when she comes home. So it's a win-win for daddy and I

Rockets Rule!

Tonight mommy had a girls night out with Mimi, Maw and Chi Chia. They went to the Rockets game and had a blast. Meanwhile, Uncle Ry Ry and I did our own thing. Ry Ry and I watched Beauty and the Beast and had a grand time!!

Gone Fishin

Today I had my first "fishing" experience and let me tell you it was a ton of fun.

Here I am with my Dora the Explorer fishing pole.

Daddy is proud!

Here I am running around and loving the great outdoors!

It's tea time, dawwling

So this afternoon I attempted to entertain myself by having a tea party with my big bear, while daddy worked on the hot tub. Mommy and daddy thought it was so cute and decided to take a pic. Cheeeeesssse!

Family Cruise 2011

It was another successful cruise vacation for the Altman, Petersen, Ledezma and Cain families. And can I just say that I think it is too cool that we get to celebrate our Christmas every year on a big big boat in the sun. I am so greatful to BB and Papa A for making it so special for me. They are the best and I am so greatful for them, even though Papa A scares me sometimes when he makes weird faces.

Here we all are enjoying a nice dinner. As nice as it was to eat dinner together every evening, about the fourth day I became restless when we entered the dining room. I could not understand why everyone was excited to sit for hours and do nothing but eat. I mean, I could understand if it was just ice cream.....but not all the other stuff.

Here everyone is taking a picture opportunity in Jamacia. Why they didn't let me go with them, I have no idea....

So. one of the highlights of the trip was getting to play with my daddy in the pool, slide, etc. He was so much fun to swim with.

You can't see it but right before this picture was taken my mommy used a bottle of sunscreen on me. I was so slick that she had a hard time picking me up. I looked like a weirdo and was annoyed. Mom, not so much sunscreen next time, please.

Here is one of my favorite pictures of my mommy and chia. In case you don't know it, chia has a baby in her belly. I don't quite understand it but I am going to take their word for it.

I had so much fun and am so glad I was able to spend time with my family. Uncle Moi, JJ, BB and Papa A, I love you so much and can't wait to see you soon!
