Weekly Wednesday Recap

1. First things first, the Kansas City Royals won the World Series!! The last time they won was in 1985, so it's been 30 years since the last time they won the world series.  The Royals made it to the world series last year, but lost to the San Fransisco Giants and it was a bummer.  I am so happy that they made it and won this year!!  The Royals made baseball super exciting to watch as they would be losing and then come back to win in the 8th or 9th innings!  I sure wish I was in Kansas City to have gone to a game and to celebrate back home.  I will have to settle for buying Royals gear out there and being a fan in Utah.

I made celebratory cookies the night they won!

2. Speaking of Kansas City, I am headed out there next Wednesday, the 11th!  All my siblings are headed out there as well to spend time with dad and Roberta and see the BYU vs. Missouri football game.  We are sad that Scott can't come out, but he has school that he can't miss.  It will be the first time I'll be away from Scott for more than a day.  I'll also be flying out there by myself with Kylie and Jordan.  I'm doing lots of research and figuring everything out to make the flight smooth and I pray that everything goes well.  I'll miss Scott a lot, but I am excited to spend time in Missouri and spend time with family.

3. Brita gave us a large fruit basket when Jordan was born and in it was a coconut.  Scott took it out to the garage to open and had Kylie help.  We're not a fan of drinking the coconut water though and I don't like eating it either.  So, we just had fun opening it and then got rid of it.

4. Kylie has always been one to let us know what she wants and what she doesn't want.  One day, we were watching TV and a commercial for pizza came on.  Kylie saw it and immediately started asking for pizza.  It was a little late to make her pizza for lunch, so she had something else and then went down for a nap.  When Scott got her up from her nap, the first thing out of her mouth was asking him for pizza.  I looked at our ingredients and Kylie was lucky that we were able to make mini pizzas for dinner.  She was so happy and ate them right up.  It was funny and cute to see how much she wanted something, all because she saw it on TV.

5. Since bringing Jordan home, Kylie likes to hold him quite often.  She'll ask to hold him and we'll get her all set up to do so.  Sometimes she'll hold him for a quick second and other times, she gets upset if I take him away to feed him or something.  Kylie really does love her brother and checks up on him all the time.  The only thing she does that worries me is if I leave him on the couch or floor, she'll sometimes pick him up to hand him to me.  She hasn't dropped him (yet) and has even brought him to me while I'm going to the bathroom (that has been interesting).  Kylie gives him kisses and is so excited to check on him in the morning.  I love watching her help take care of him (helps get diapers, wipes, pacifier, etc.) and I'm so glad that she's adjusted fairly well to having a new brother.
