- [Female] Unidentified flying object
like a alien spaceship.
- [Male] So there's that jet
and then just below the air string there,
is the UFO.
Morning friends, so Isaac has
been begging me for months
to learn how to do something.
- Edit.
- To edit. He has been
wanting to edit videos
and to see how it works.
Okay so, go ahead, split it right there.
Yup, now if you wanna delete that part,
you're gonna delete right here.
- [Female] Tubby what are
you doing this morning?
- I'm a clown!
- [Female] Those are your pajama pants
and that is your pajama shirt.
So for the last few days,
I've been doing something
different in the morning
and what I've been doing is,
instead of when I first wake up
immediately checking my
phone and checking Facebook,
and Instagram and Twitter,
and seeing what happened
through the night,
updating myself on what
everybody else is doing,
instead of doing that,
I've been very deliberately choosing
to not pick up my phone at all.
And instead I'm spending
those first five or 10 minutes
of the morning praying and
reading from the Scriptures
and reading from
uplifting books and texts,
and focusing on the
atonement of Jesus Christ
and my relationship with Christ
and what I can do to strengthen my soul.
It's just, I've really enjoyed it.
It's funny, sometimes it seems
like it gonna take something
so big and so hard to make
differences in our life.
But sometimes it's the little tiny things
that make the biggest difference.
Laura can push you?
- Yeah, watch.
(laughing)
- [Female] Be careful.
- I push.
- [Female] Oh, you wanna push?
Tubby she wants to push,
can you get down and give
her a push this time?
So during quiet time today,
Elisa's been making jewelry.
These are supposed to be
rings but she figured out
they can also be clip on earrings
and then, is this your necklace?
- Well like my dress-up.
- [Female] Its like your dress-up--
- It's a dress-up necklace.
- [Female] Oh very fun, here
stand back just a little bit
so we can see it better.
- I made it a long one.
- [Female] Yeah, it is really long.
Have you guys seen these before?
They're called pop-beads.
Lisi can you show 'em how
they put 'em together?
So you just snap 'em together,
and you can make things that are all sorts
of different patterns.
So the kids are doing they're
new hand writing program
which is called draw-right-now.
I got it as a hand me down from my mom,
and it looked really cool
so I figured we'd try it
and I am liking it at the moment.
So here's all the kids are working on it.
So they draw on this side
and then they write those sentences.
So here's, I wrote it for you
Lis to be able to copy it.
Let's see how Isaac's doing.
- I'm staying in the lines.
- [Female] Way to go dude.
He's home!
- I'm a charger.
- Oh are you a charger?
Can I have a kiss?
- [Female] Laura found a fun game.
- She initially did it on accident.
She bumped into me and then fell through
and she's like, what a second
I can go through the legs.
(laughing)
- [Female] This could last for hours.
Miss Laura?
Miss Laura, are you
playing with your daddy?
- Stinker, give me a (mumbles).
What's for dinner, it
smells like super good.
- It is, woah,
okay so for dinner we have rice,
and this is chicken two-bean chili,
freezer meal.
- [Male] Yummy.
(laughing)
- [Male] Are you playing with them?
- We're all best buds.
- [Male] Little stinks.
- And Isaac.
- [Male] Did Laura just say best buds?
- Best buds.
- [Male] Can you say--
- Best buds.
- [Female] Best buds!
(clapping)
- [Male] I think she said "best-est buds".
- Best-est buds.
- Best-est buds
- With VidCon, vlogger fairs, CBX live,
all the trips we did this summer,
our yard has suffered.
I have neglected it.
Look how long this is.
Oh my goodness and the weeds are getting
out of control.
So manual labor can be so
therapeutic and stress relieving.
Like there's no serious risk analysis
or cost benefit analysis that I'm running.
I just have a job that needs to get done
and you see it get done in
an hour, hour and a half,
and you feel good about it.
Look who came out to say hi.
- Can you say hi daddy?
- [Male] Hi.
Time out, so that spider was huge.
You gotta see this again,
it got some major air.
So I back it up,
did you see how much air
the spider got jumping
and me running away completely scared.
Classic.
Okay time in.
That is a huge spider.
Spider was running right towards me.
You guys, this is the most
embarrassing weed of them all.
Yeah, that's a weed.
The weed is bigger than me!
I let a weed grow bigger than me.
I get an F, for yard care.
Oh it's not working.
Where are you guys heading?
- To a walk.
- [Male] You going on a walk?
So the weather is perfect for a walk.
- Yeah, is that a shooting star?
- [Male] I think that's an airplane.
- [Female] That's an airplane.
- No, what the (mumbles)?
- [Male Child] I don't know.
- [Female] You see what I'm talking about?
- [Male] It looks like another airplane,
or we have a UFO sighting.
- [Female] Whoa, what do you guys think?
- [Female Child] I think UFO.
- [Female] Uh, unidentified flying object
like a alien spaceship.
- [Male] So there's that jet
and then just below the air stream here,
is the UFO. It's that little dot
down below.
Maybe it's a little plane.
- [Kid] Wouldn't be going straight down.
- [Female] It's not an alien (mumbles),
it's probably just an airplane.
- [Kid] I'm gonna go (mumbles)
- [Kid] No mom it's
going straight (mumbles).
- [Female] Maybe it's a satellite.
- [Male] Is that how
you're gonna go on a walk?
We can't figure out why the
neighbors look at us funny
or when we're out an about
and we're talking to ourselves
on the camera.
Well I'm not quite done.
It's getting darker but
I just love the feel,
the smell, the look
of fresh cut grass.
So the other really cool
thing about mowing the lawn
is that I've finished my
opening statement in my mind.
So, I'm able to work out that
the whole time I'm out here.
It's a good opening statement.
- Hey, hey.
- [Male] Hey you guys.
Whoa, are you riding on top?
- We had an awesome walk.
Isaac was throwing the football
and Elis was jumping around
and leaping and changing
everybody into different things
and Laura said hello
to everybody we passed.
- [Male] They're all down.
- You usually surprise me with the camera.
I'm so tired.
- [Male] They're not--
- I am just like worn out today.
- I have a good story for you though.
So this is a story of good karma
and she'll appreciate this.
- Okay.
- Okay so with my trial, I
haven't been taking any emails,
or phone calls, anything like that.
But a woman called today
needing pro bono help,
where I wouldn't get paid to help her.
And I told my legal assistant,
just set up an appointment for Monday,
and it was a really urgent
matter so I was like okay,
I'll take the call.
And I'm on the phone,
advising her and I look down
while I'm giving her
advise and I find this.
(laughing)
For over a month, we have
missed my wireless mouse
that I use for all my editing and--
- He's been working
with this annoying mouse
that just doesn't--
- [Male] It's a corded mouse--
- Work right.
It's not just the cord,
it's the fact that it doesn't
pick up your movements right.
But we knew it was somewhere,
we've been blaming it on Kaleb, but--
- Yeah, we thought for sure
- It was you!
- We thought for sure
that they threw it away,
but it had fallen down
into all my cords and so--
- So, you were giving and the
universe gave back to you.
- Exactly yeah, you do good to others
and good things come your
way, it's a true principle.
- Awesome. Well.
- [Male] On that note--
- Yes we are done for
the night around here.
I am going to serve myself some really--
- Don't talk too loud.
Then they'll all wanna
come out and have some,
so we'll be quietly enjoying some--
- I'm going to have
brownies and ice cream.
- Yummy. Okay, J-house out.
- I think I'm the only mom that cried
dropping her kids off
at home school co-op.
Anyway I just was really
excited for the kids.
