I still remember who we are, who we are, as we stare into the sun.
I can't believe we've come so far.
And there we are.
I still remember who we are, who we are.
Now these days have come and gone.
We've given everything we've got.
And there we are.
I still remember.
She wants an orange spoon.
Orange spoon?
We don't have any orange spoons.
Yeah.
She said that.
I want that one.
Don't you want the bunnies?
I thought you said you wanted bunnies, Judy.
These ones have circles.
Do you want bunnies, Judy?
No.
Judy, you said you wanted bunnies.
I did.
I let Tyler make the girls breakfast this morning.
She made them cereal.
Tyler was gonna eat Cheerios.
Elena wanted Cheerios.
And Judy said she wanted bunnies.
But then Judy said she wanted Cheerios.
Hey, guys.
What do you think about putting a bird feeder out?
It's a bird feeder.
It's a little thing that holds bird seed.
Yeah, I know.
Dad, we can pour some and then we can try to catch a bird and it can be our pet?
No, I'm not gonna try to catch a bird.
We're just gonna, they're just gonna, you just put seed out there so that they eat it.
And it's just pretty because they're flying around and they're on the ground eating bird food.
Dad, we can watch them eat it.
I made a bird feeder with my craft.
Yeah, you did.
Maybe we can get a real one.
Like one that's got like a house or something on it.
What do y'all think?
I got a real one.
Dad, they could stay in their house with us.
In our house?
No.
Outside.
Yeah, they could stay in their house and eat.
Then they can be with us all day.
Yeah, they could be out there hanging out.
We can all be hanging out inside.
Ducks?
The ducks?

Thanks for all your support.

Hello, everyone.
Today has been crazy.
John had to leave to go two hours away to shoot some video today.
So it's just been me this morning and then my friend Abby came over and she's actually still here.
She has been helping me clean all day.
And this girl is seriously the bomb, like helping me clean everything.
She's cleaning the walls and she's scrubbing stuff by hand.
And I just love her so much.
She's actually brought her Norwex products over because she's a Norwex consultant.
And so I'm having a party for her.
Sorry, guys.
Ran up and down the stairs and it's a lot when you're pregnant, you know.
Anyway, I'm having a party for her.
So she brought over some of the stuff to help me clean and use it and just so I could get an idea of what I want.
It's really exciting.
But I just came upstairs to get Tyler.
And I noticed Jude's door is open.
She's supposed to be napping.
So I peeked in.
Oh, my word.
It's so funny.
I want to show you guys.
She passed out like that.
She's just dead asleep.
Look at this.
I'm actually going to go move her real quick.
I can't believe she fell asleep like that.
That's so funny.
But I knew she was tired.
So I guess it doesn't really surprise me.
But Ryan's been out back moving more dirt today.
He's just literally been digging it up and taking it out of here.
And like I said, we've been here cleaning, cleaning, cleaning.
Our room is a mess.
I still have to get to the upstairs.
But the downstairs is looking great, which is so exciting and promising for Thanksgiving.
Hosting events is always so fun.
And I love it.
But you want to have your house clean and presentable.
I mean, she scrubbed my walls.
Like, look at this.
You guys know what this looks like.
She cleaned it all.
There she is now.
Super clean and lovely.
Look, she's even holding my baby.
I'm going to carry her.
Abby is an angel sent from the Lord above.
Right?
Isn't she?
Anyway, so in here is her kid.
Her wild monkey hanging out.
We're watching Daniel Tiger.
This is crazy cool threads.
And faith moves mountains, bro.
What does it say?
Faith moves mountains, bro.
Yeah, because she always calls her own bro.
So now she's got her shirt that says faith moves mountains, bro.
She actually sent us a few different shirts, and I love them all.
But Tyler really likes this one.
And she wants to wear it with a skirt.
So super double win there.
So Abby just left.
She stayed so long today, guys.
She did so much for me.
She cleaned my windows.
She cleaned all my appliances.
She cleaned all my cabinets.
She cleaned the table.
She scrubbed all the chairs.
She helped me organize my dining room table.
Like, I can't even tell you.
Scrubbing the walls, everything, that.
She does it so much to help, and I'm so thankful.
Abby, I love you very much.
You are one of my best friends.
And I cherish you and not just your help.
Also, our yard.
I want to show you guys how much Brian has gotten done.
Look at this.
Can you even believe that?
That's all our yard.
We have so much more space.
So this is still, like, a little unlevel.
You can see if I put this down.
Well, okay, it's hard to see.
But it's still kind of a hill.
So I'd like to get it flat.
That way we can put the trampoline back there, a sandbox,
or maybe a fire pit, you know, with chairs around.
So it's just going to be an area where we can kind of hang out.
So I'd like to get it flat, but it's just a lot of dirt.
And for Brian and his truck, he's got to take a lot of trips.
So it's been a process.
But I'm so happy.
The kids are like, it looks gross with all the dirt out there.
Well, it's not going to always be dirt.
It's going to be grass, and it's going to be a beautiful yard, hopefully.
So I am waiting for John to get home.
I'm making dinner.
So I'm actually making fettuccine alfredo right now.
I'm boiling the noodles.
Heating up the sauce.
I have broccoli to go with it and put in it.
And then I have these fake chicken strips.
Beyond meat.
Can you see that?
Beyond chicken.
Some fake grilled chicken that I am heating up on the stove,
sauteing it in oil like it says to do.
So we'll have a chicken alfredo with broccoli.
And I'm going to go check on these kids,
because it sounds like they're having a hard time getting along.
And I thought I heard the front door open,
which means I think that John is home.
No, I didn't.
I must have just heard the bathroom door shutting.
Oh, look who it is.
Are you supposed to be riding that?
Okay.
Wow.
So the kids are just hanging out everywhere.
We're still watching Daniel Tiger.
It's been such a productive day.
My house is so much cleaner, and I am so,
I feel like a huge burden is gone.
It's just been weighing down trying to get everything done,
and it's just great to not have that.
So we actually have a midwife appointment tomorrow.
I'm really excited.
We have had to reschedule it two weeks in a row,
and tomorrow we are going.
So the kids are excited.
They're always excited to go with me.
Tyler especially, she's looking forward to that.
But I am looking forward to checking on this little baby
and getting to know the midwife.
Yeah, it's really exciting.
I'm glad you guys are with us to go through the journey,
and I've loved reading all the comments and people guessing
whether they think it's a boy or a girl and just interacting.
It's so nice to have a community to talk to about this pregnancy
and people who are excited for us
because I feel like it's so hard to find people
who are excited about big families these days.
So it's nice to know you guys are there and that you love us
and that you are happy for us, just as happy as we are.
So thank you is what I'm trying to say.
You guys, so Tyler wants to vlog,
and she's going to tell you about her day at preschool
and what she did.
Excuse me.
I burped.
You burped.
Excuse you.
That's why I speak.
Hello.
I had fun at preschool and, and, and.
Yes.
Our pajama party had pizza and pretzels.
Even we got to watch a movie, a puppet show,
on a screen at the movie at school.
And that was so fun.
Even they had pizza and Miss Erin.
It was so delicious and yummy.
I wanted to thank for bringing all of those stuff
to preschool and my kitchen.
That is the best pajama party ever,
and I love it.
I like pajama parties,
and the property that I'm going to have
so much pajama parties at.
We're going to have a mid-length.
We can't take Victoria over home
because we can't because Mommy has a doctor's appointment
tomorrow after school.
I'm going to sleep.
I'm excited for the new baby.
I'm like, like, all excited.
We picked up Michael.
I saw a pup.
Oh my gosh.
So, I'm going to have a brother.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
I just want a brother,
and I think it's a brother.
Okay.
I want a brother.
Mhmm.
