A few milestones

For some time now Addisyn has been working on defying gravity. She came up with her own way of jumping but this weekend she finally did a "proper" jump, getting both feet off the ground at the same time. She's jumping off of books, over lines, on toys, off stools, and on beds. We may need to get her some help because she has become a jumpaholic.


Not only has Addisyn mastered jumping she has begun to do hand motions to many songs. She'll watch a sing-a-long video and copy the motions that she sees. Doesn't sound like that big of a deal considering she has been doing "the wheels on the bus" for at least 4 months, but just this weekend she has learned motions to at least 10 songs. That's pretty good.
(So we tried uploading a very cute video of Addisyn doing hand motions and jumping but could not get it to work. We'll continue to try an post if later if we can)

Oh yeah, and the most challenging milestone she has reached: Addisyn can fly.

What to Blog about....

I was somewhat concerned today that the long weekend would pass without a moment worth blogging. Now we were not lazy by any means, certain odd jobs around the house were completed and I even got out on the river and caught the first silver salmon on my boat (didn't have the camera or that would have made Hofseth Times). But even with all the activities this weekend we were sitting down to our moose kabob dinner and then it happened. The mouse trap that I had set three hours prior snapped... and I had my Blog.

2 days ago while cleaning out the garage (one of our odd jobs) I noticed a dark streak run behind the lawn mower and a million small poops. We had a small furry friend living in our midst without an invitation. So I got a couple of traps, loaded some peanut butter on them and placed them in highly strategic areas.

Warning: Do not go any further if you can not handle the fate of our little uninvited house guest.
