A football game that touched my heart

This Sunday the Saints played the Atlanta Falcons and they won! This game was very different than any other…

I met a very special boy named Micah. He is 11 years old.

I saw the cutest little boy walking into the suite box next to mine and he had a “Bush” jersey on. I told him I liked his jersey and when he turned around I noticed he had a breathing mask on. He was very quiet and seemed exhausted.

I went to the restroom and his mother Val followed me in and asked me if I would take a picture with her son. She explained he had two weeks to live and was dying of cancer. When she left I literally cried in the bathroom and got myself together and went to go take a picture with him. His mother told me that Micah had a 109 temperature that morning but he still wanted to go see Reggie play!

My heart truly was breaking just seeing how sweet this little boy was… I had to do more.

Hornets basketball player and one of Reggie’s best friends Chris Paul was sitting next door in our box so I took Micah over to meet him. He was so excited. Then after the game I took Micah and his whole family with me down to the family section where only the family waits near the locker room for the players to come out to meet Reggie!

Reggie spent some time with him and Micah lit up! I know him meeting Reggie won’t ever change what he and his family is going through, but for those brief moments hopefully he could forget he was sick.

I know Reggie and I will never forget Micah.

Old School Pic: My Nana

December 5, 2008 / 82 Comments

This old school pic is of me and my grandmother. We always called her “Nana.” She is my Dad’s mother and her real name is Helen Kardashian.

She passed away earlier this year…

Once my father passed away, she was never the same. She had three children, my aunt Barbara, my uncle Tommy then the baby of the bunch… my dad!

My grandmother is full Armenian. It’s actually very typical to have blond hair and light eyes being full Armenian. This is where Khloe gets her coloring from, in case you have been wondering.

Nana was seriously so much fun! She lived right near my parents growing up and also had a house in Palm Springs that we always spent so much time at.

She was your typical Armenian grandmother: always cooking the best Armenian meals, our favorite which was this Armenian breakfast called “beeshe”! I’m not sure if that’s even how you spell it but it’s basically a fried pancake with lots of sugar on top!

She passed along the recipe but Kourtney is the only one in our entire Kardashian family who has mastered it. So every year in December my dad’s side of the family gets together and Kourtney makes it for us all!

I miss my Nana so much!

When older siblings become the parent

September 24, 2008 / 22 Comments

Dear Kim,

I have a question. I am the second-oldest of seven and my parents constantly work. So, I’m pretty much the head honcho. I realize lately that with the more rules I lay down, the more they seem to despise me. What should i do? Please help!

Sincerely
Head Honcho

Me, Kourtney, Scott, Rob, Adrienne, Khloe, and the twins hit up Ketchup restaurant in West Hollywood recently to… catch up!  :P

The food was amazing! We ordered everything from mac ‘n cheese, to fries and ribs and grilled cheese sandwiches! Real comfort food—such a guilty pleasure!

I love just hanging out with family and close friends and catching up on each others’ lives.

Do you have a ritual activity you do to meet up with loved ones and hang out? Let me know!

Monuments and momentous times in Monte Carlo

June 11, 2008 / 77 Comments

During our first dinner in Monte Carlo, I discovered some new and interesting information about myself!

Being with my grandmother, we all were talking about my grandmother’s love life. Come to find out that my mom’s real father passed away in a car crash before we were born.

So Kourtney and I found out that my grandfather that we always called “papa” was really our step grandpa. He was married to my Grandma MJ for more than 30 years before he recently passed away.

He was German and Irish, so I always thought that I was half Armenian and quarter German and a quarter Irish!

But as we were digging down into our history we realized that on my mom’s side, she is Scottish and Dutch… So it turns out I am half Armenian (a quarter Turkish and a quarter Russian) and a quarter Scottish and a quarter Dutch!

Have you ever discovered important information about yourself that you could have never predicted? Let me know in the comments area!

I want to wish my mom a very Happy Mother’s Day! I love you, mom!

My whole family is cooking her our favorite Armenian breakfast called BeeShee (it’s basically like a fried pancake).

Then my mom, Bruce, Kendall and Kylie are going to see the play Wicked. We are all so jealous! They couldn’t get any more tickets for the rest of us.

I also want to wish both of my grandmother’s a happy Mother’s Day, too!

In fact, all mothers definitely deserve the day off to rest and relax!

Now that my mom is a bonafide star on our reality show, it got me wondering… Who is your favorite TV mom? Let me know in the comments area!

Easter with the whole family

I know I am a little late to post this one… You’ll have to forgive me — I have been super busy!

My whole family, Reggie and I had the best Easter Sunday. We started off going to church at Calvary Christian Church in Thousand Oaks, California, and ended up at Sherwood Country Club for brunch and an Easter egg hunt for my little sisters.

Rob, Scott and Reggie
were acting silly during brunch and we girls got to spend some quality
time with my grandma… But can’t call her ‘grandma.’ It’s M.J. for ‘Mary Jo.’
