Homemade Corn-dogs and a new toy for Joanna! :)

So....yesterday I got really excited to try out a new recipe for Homemade Corn Dogs. It was really cool, up until the point we baked, instead of deep fried. Oh well. It was a learning experience. And since we are used to eating, and like both hot dogs, and corn bread...why not eat them together? :)

Also, one of Nephi's textbook's for school came yesterday--"A Practical Guide to SysML." Josi seemed to like the wrapper,(which Dad proceeded to put on her head) and Mom enjoyed throwing the peanuts from the box at Dad..but Nephi was probably most interested in the book, which only he could make any sense of. :)

Enjoying The North Platte

Last Saturday, after doing a bit of cleaning, and things around the house, shopping at the Goodwill for a new outfit, and having some lunch, Nephi and Josi and I packed up our baby bug spray, and sunscreen and headed to the river.

Nephi felt very excited to use his new inner tube he bought for 25cents at a garage sale. (He also bought the game RISK that same day, which he loves to play..but Mom is not so sure about after that last game...) :) Anyways, Nephi said he loved me, then disappeared downstream. With that, I started to get a little nervous as Josi and were left there alone... After what I imagine was a couple prayers, and a short time later, we saw Nephi walking back up our way from the bridge. Thank goodness the river was nice to him. :) He had a wonderful time! We let Josi put her toes in the sandy water, but it seemed to be a bit too chilly for her liking...

Our little Josi is so fun, and cute. Nephi LOVES being a Daddy, and has to remind Mom not to let Josi have too much sugar, and keep away the paper Josi likes to eat. :)
