Meet Kodi - our 12 week old puppy. He is an Australian Shepherd mix and is very smart. He will sit and even shake your hand on command. He's a sweet little guy and McKenna is in heaven. Our new kitten's name is Dakota. He is about 10 weeks old. He's a frisky, long-haired cat that has 4 white paws just like Four Sox had. Four Sox died in August just after school started. Jarrod found him as a kitten and he was 13 years old so the loss was very hard on all of us. We know that most of you probably think that we are crazy for getting a puppy and a kitten at the same time, but it's really going better than we had expected! McKenna has wanted a dog for 3 years now and we all wanted another cat. We decided to get a puppy and kitten so they could grow up together and would hopefully be friends. They are warming up to each other, but I wouldn't call them "friends" just yet.
Jensen's (and Jarrod's) car was in the top 10 of the fastest cars. He got the Commander's Choice Award for the "sweetest paint job". I wonder who did most of the work?
Jensen's year to participate in the annual pumpkin decorating contest for third grade. Jensen loves Jack Sparrow so it was easy to come up with an idea. I wonder who did most of the work? And the winner is Jensen! Jack Sparrow and his treasure chest was a hit!
McKenna was so excited to get the role of "man's best friend" in the Thanksgiving play. She had a little stage fright for a minute but managed to get her lines out with a little help from Ms. H.
