Today at the waterpark (in a swim suit) I got asked by nice Hispanic lady if I was expecting again. She even touched my belly. Nope, still just working off the last baby and had a large breakfast, but thank you for asking.
Later this evening, we were at a restaurant and the gentlemen at the entrance asked to see my ID. YES! Best compliment ever after the worst insult ever earlier in the day. I think these two experiences cancel each other out.

Two Saturdays ago we took the kids to Sunsplash for our end-of-summer reward since they completed their summer goals. (Rachel completed a reading chart & Andrew is learning to identify letters.) We had a great time! The only tears were shed after we made Andrew go on a fast tube slide and he was not happy about it. His stomach can hardly handle a swing, let alone fast rides.
Later that night, we got a babysitter (Kristen Woods is our latest babysitter since Juliette is headed off to BYU) and met some of Brandon's co-workers at "The Yard", which is a super hipster restaurant in Phoenix. What's memorable about this experience to me is that Brandon was SO close to wearing his handmade gold sequin shirt, and I had to really convince him not to wear it. I told him it would be fine to wear if we were going to someone's house, but since it was an establishment, I encouraged him not to wear it. I am SO glad he didn't wear it, because I would have been mortified. It was the most hipster / singles scene place that I have ever been. I think had he worn it, we would have been kicked out - or maybe even beat up. I was already feeling out of place, I'm so glad we didn't have gold sequins drawing more attention to us. Brandon completely disagreed and wished he had worn it. :) We are definitely 30 and feeling old and even drive a minivan - that's still considered hipster at church though, right?

Been there with the "are you pregnant question". Mason was one and I was dealing with thyroid issues. Not an awesome moment.
Brandon is hilarious. You need to post a picture of the shirt.
