CRAZY things that come out of Kennedy's mouth

**Mom, do you think old people are just cute as a button?
**These snow pants make my panties shrink
**My pinky toe smells weird. In fact, my whole foot smells weird!
**Mom, when I turn 18, will I be an old cripple?
**She was wrestling with Colton and I heard her yell "bring it on, butterball"
**At lunch in Leavenworth, we were talking about the small portions. A few minutes later Kennedy says, "this is a small lunch, indeed!"
**We were at the grocery store and she was riding in the cart. Whitley was trying to get in with her and she was freaking out. Landon asked her why Whit couldn't get in with her and she said "because I have space issues!"
**I told Kennedy to roll up her sleeves so that she didn't get them in her food. She said, "No because then I'll look like an Irish leprechaun"
**"Dad, you don't respect my cultures!" "What does that mean?" "It means you don't respect me as your boss!"
**Kennedy just told me that if she had medium brown skin and a black mole on her upper lip, she'd be the most beautiful girl in the world!
**She was trying to tickle my feet, and I kept moving them and she said "just take it like a man-I want to year you laugh"
**We were driving home from gymnastics, and talking about Whitley's upcomgin meet, and out of nowhere Kennedy yells from the back seat "Hey mom, can babies crush bananas?"
**She was helping Colton pull his boots off, and they wouldn't come off. She was leaning back and pulling as hard as she could and she yelled "I'll never give up on you, buddy"
**At breakfast this morning, after taking a big swig of milk, Kennedy declared "milk is my passion"
**She came to me in the middle of the night, sort of whimpering, and said "mom, I'm almost crying".
**Today she called Whitley a desperate peanut thrower!

Utah Fruit

A friend of mine introduced me to the "fruit lady". Some woman in Mesa that is bringing in huge truckloads of fresh fruit from Utah. The fruit here in AZ, is not the best so I was excited to get some Utah peaches and raspberries.

My friend Stacy and I decided to split a box, and make us some freezer jam. We were in over our heads when we realized how much freakin' fruit we had. But we kept at it. We made raspberry, peach, and our own special blend peach/raspberry jam. DELISH. I now have a freezer (okay a couple of freezers) full of jam.
