It's swimming suit weather! Yea! We went to Aunt Nicki's house to play on the trampoline in the water. The kids loved it. It was hard to get them off!
I love swimming suit weather...it means I get to pinch those chubby legs! More than I usually do. :)
Cade had an especially good time playing with the sprinkler.
Connor wasn't into the water play so much...but he enjoyed jumping on the dry trampoline and playing with his turtles.
Here is a picture of them all together. See how big Baby Rachel is getting (on the right end)?! She's always smiling and is so good natured. She adorable. Jared was so sweet to hold her up so she didn't fall over.
We don't abide by child labor laws in the McMillan household.
Just kidding. Myla was super interested in Dad doing the dishes, so he let her stand on the stool to check it out and try a few herself. She was very enthusiastic. We'll see if she feels the same way in 10 years or so.
Cade gave his very first talk in Primary today! It was on following the prophet. We practiced all week long and he did a fantastic job! I was a little worried that he wouldn't want to say it in front of everyone, but he did...and he was wonderful. Kevin and I had a few tears in our eyes by the time he was done. It was a sweet moment.
And last, but certainly not least, my sweet husband has been so wonderful. This week has been a tough one physically for me and Kevin has really taken on a lot more work to pick up my slack. Does he complain? Not one bit.
I have been addicted to American Idol this season. It's a love/hate relationship with me and AI. This season I love it. Maybe it's because when 7:00pm rolls around all I can do is lay like a beached whale on the couch and watch TV and AI is the only things on these days? I don't know. Anyway, last night another contestant was eliminated and everyone looked so shocked that it was Michael Johns. Paula looked like she was going to faint. Really? Why was everyone so surprised? Yeah, he's cute. Yeah, he's got a hot Australian accent...but when he sings I feel stressed. I have never enjoyed his performances because I feel so stressed for him. I feel like he has to try so hard. Now I'm no expert, but I kind of figure that if a performer stresses out his audience, well...that doesn't quite work out for anyone, does it?
Cade & me when he was a couple of days old. He's my definition of perfection!
Really, who needs to see their feet? 
We visited. (My dad, my mom, Uncle David, Aunt Linda)
We got pulled around in the wagon by fun Grandma Webb. (Grandma Webb, Myla, Jared Jr. and everyone else watching)
We visited some more. (Jamie, Dad, Uncle Bert, Dawn, Bradley, Aunt Colleen, Jared, Nicki, Rachel)
We slept (or tried to). Kevin and Myla cuddled up to keep warm. She wandered around the tent for about 15 minutes before settling down. Cade, on the other hand, was out like a light. Then decided to wake up every 30 minutes or so throughout the night. It was fun.
Play in the wagon. This was a popular activity among the toddlers. (Cade, Myla, Connor and Jared Jr.)
Rode the quads....a very popular activity among everyone else. (Emma and Richard)
Rode the quads some more. (James and Bradley)
Played with the doggies. (Myla and Cowboy) 
Again, rode the quads. (Emma, Jacob, Breck)
Played with the wagon some more. (Cade) 
And slept. This is Myla about 20 seconds after we were on the road heading home. It was a fun, exhausting trip. We can't wait until next year!
Tonight we were getting ready for our bath and Cade undressed and then stood up on the toilet to look at himself in the mirror. After several minutes he said, "Mommy, I'm a boy." Curious as to whether he noticed the difference between boys and girls, I asked, "What makes you a boy, Cade?" He said, "My shoulders," as he tapped his hands on his cute, little shoulders.
Wow, just putting on our aprons cheers us up!
The kids love to add the ingredients and take special care not to spill anything.
Myla's new thing is to say, "Me!" when she thinks it's her turn to do something or when she wants something. She said, "Me!" when I got the brown sugar ready to add.
Then, of course, we have to lick the beaters.
The best part is eating them!
My new favorite show is New Amsterdam on Fox. I love the premise of it...for a TV show it's unusual. You can watch past episodes on the Fox website. Here's a brief synopsis that I took from their website:
I've been feeling the baby kick for months now, but just recently we've been able to see the kick from the outside. Cade and Myla love talking about the baby. In fact, everytime I sit down and my bump is more obvious they both put their hands on my tummy and say, "Baby!" in a high pitched voice. It's cute. I'm confident the baby will recognize their voices as much as he/she will recognize mine and Kevin's.
