Welcome to the Real World

Well, we've had a fun weekend. Friday night we hired our first baby-sitter. Not that we haven't been out on dates since Andi was born, but Kelsie watched her while we were in Provo so that doesn't really count cos it was free. Anyway Thad's cousins kid Carter came over so we could go see The Davinci Code. Fabulous byu the way. As usual the book was better and there were parts it left out, but all around good suspenseful actionpacked thriller. So we went to a very late showing so Andi would be asleep for the night and 11 year old Carter really wouldn't have to do anything, but be there just in case. But I think Andi has this sense, she knows when i'm gone. She woke up 30 minuted after we left and we hadn't left the poor kid a bottle, showed him where diapers were, instructions or anything! She sleeps 10-12 hours a nigth now, so why would we! But he changed her and made a bottle and tried to feed her and everything, so we were really impressed. Bradon is 11 and I don't know that he would have figured out what to do, but Bradon is the baby and Carter has 4 younger siblings, so he seems older than Bradon.
Anyway Saturday night we went to an office BBQ at Thad's bosses 20 acre gentlemens ranch. It was fun, but kinda weird at the same time. They had coolers full of beer and everyone was drinking. We've just been in Utah so long that it seemed bizarre, you just forget what the real world is like living in the bubble. But Thad works with some really great people, a couple that I would have thought were LDS if I didn't know better. So Thad picked up a couple Books of Mormon at church today to have at work.
All in all, good weekend.

I know, gentlemens ranch sounds totally weird, but I asked, and all that means is that he owns the land but doesn't do a bit to farm it, he has hired help, whereas most ranchers work the ranch.
