New Friends

Everyday is a new adventure and Keara goes after each one full blast with a smile on her face. She has had a lot of firsts over the last couple of months. Some good and some not so good, but always she is just as cheerful as ever. Fortunately before the new baby arrives, she has really taken to making and playing with new friends.


We caught a Diamondbacks game towards the end of the season with her friend Parker. Keara thought it was great, hot dogs, ice cream, staying up way past her bedtime. We thought we might be lucky to catch a home run from Bonds, but he didn't even play and the D-backs lost.


A couple of weeks later we had a ward camp out. Trysta and Keara enjoyed this cozy two-seater just their size. Finding a bag of Chocolate Chex mix helped sweeten the moment. She loves pointing out Trysta in church and Trysta responds by affectionately nick-naming her carrot because Keara has one too many syllables.

Finally, after almost a year of trying and plans failing or conflicting, we were able to have the Cobos over for dinner. Although this wasn't a new experience she enjoyed sharing it with her friends Rayden and Kenis.

Then, tonight, she had a not so fun first experience. Between 8 and 10 tonight she threw up about 5-6 times. Dinner, lunch, and whatever snacks she had in between. ( I decided not to insert a picture here) At least she warned us. In between each time it happened she would start to cry, even if she was laughing the moment before, and then it would happen. Then the only friend she wanted was Mommy who graciously let her throw up all over her clothes.

(I apologize to our friends if I misspelled any of their children's names)
