Same Face, Different Country

As usual, I am the only one that is super excited about spending several weeks in a hotel on base (or on station as the case may be).

Movin' On

After a wonderful month in Seattle, we moved to Rhode Island. It took us all day and most of the night to get to Newport, but we made it! We were worn out, to say the least.

While I was in Seattle, I had a great opportunity to play with my Great Uncle Mike's musical ensemble called Cause For Joy. I jammed on the musical lemon for a song and was a hit (well at least with my own family).

Life on the road can wear a person out! (pictured with Mike and Great Aunt Sally)

Before I took a nap, I had one last chance to rock out with cousin Henry. I could learn a lot from him....he played a Nirvana solo that was awesome!

Playground Time

We went to a playground my Grandma and Grandpa Kaiser's house.

I had a great time.

Talk to the Hand!

Uncle Billy!

Uncle Billy came to visit while I was in Seattle. He is wearing the shirt I picked out for his Birthday when I was only 1 month old. The color caught my eye!

The way to a girl's heart....have Cheerios on hand.

Acting out

Pete and Repeat

I love Uncle Billy!

And on.....

I got some more great stuff.

I got some much-needed pjs.

I also got some beautiful giraffes.

Thanks everyone!

And on...

Great Aunt Linda was there too.

As was Gab.....

....and Great Aunt Andrea!

Party On....

A handful of family members that couldn't attend my party, stopped by for a visit a couple of days later. One of these people was Great Uncle Don. I took an immediate liking to him.

Of course, I had to show him my signature move.

XOXO

Thanks!

Thank you to everyone that attended my first Birthday party. A special thank you to Grandma and Grandpa Bosone for hosting the party. The new deck is fabulous Grandpa! Thank you to the Smoothie Kings, Papa and Uncle Billy. Thank you to my cousin, Indiana, for helping out with everything. I loved my first Birthday party and I can't wait to see what Mama and Papa come up with next year......

Bring on the Cake!

We had some wonderful cupcakes at my party.

It was my first time trying a true "sweet".

Since I'm a lady, I wasn't too excited about getting frosting all over my fingers, so....

....Mama hooked me up. I only had a few bites, but they were yummy!

Bring on the Gifts!

I was sweatin' by the time we got to the gifts, but I was still rarin' to go!

I loved all the beautiful paper and I even participated in the unwrapping.

Cool. I love animals!

Now I'm getting wound up! When it's time to be on, I'm on!

Quick look towards the camera, and then I'm back to my gifts. Thank you to everyone for being so generous, especially to those of you that were meeting me for the first time that day! Love you all!

Family Time

I'm not sure who this guy is, but does anyone else notice his resemblance to Mama?

I met a lot of relatives at my Party, including Great Uncle Pat. (He is going to be a Grandpa very soon and I think he was practicing with me and I didn't mind that a bit!)
