- Alright, guys, we are going to try,
to the best of our ability, to act like
we forgot Stephen's birthday.
- Do I have to?
- Yes, math homework, buddy. Come on!
- Why? Why today?
- Because everyday we
do our math homework.
Come on, buddy. Let's do it.
- Today's my-
- Let's go!
- Mom, you're really
making me do this today?
- Yep.
- Maybe like, another day?
- We're showing our routine,
come on. You can do it.
Get some weeds pulled. I'll go
assign chores to the other girls.
(iPhone alarm rings)
- Hi, SOTY Family, alright,
guys, I'm whispering
because it is 11:51 at night.
Now, guys, we only have a few more minutes
until it is officially midnight,
and that means, officially
Stephen's birthday.
And Steve and I have
decided that we are going to
prank Stephen at midnight.
Alright, guys, I've got
a blow horn. And Steve.
Are we gonna wake up the whole house?
- And a lot of sleeping kids.
- Alright, is it midnight yet?
- Right now. Let's go.
- Okay, let's go, let's go, let's go.
Okay, ready, go.
- Is this a bad idea?
(air horn)
- Happy Birthday!
- Happy Birthday!
- My ears, I can't hear anything.
(laughing)
- Let's go, let's go.
Let's do another one.
- No!
Guys, I think we woke
up some of the girls,
but prank was successful, guys!
This is the first prank of his birthday;
we have another one coming soon.
Do not do that. Do not do that!
- So tempting.
- Do not do that.
We will see you in the morning.
- Taylor, come here real quick.
Are your sisters awake right now?
- Yeah.
- I need you to go get
them really quick, kay?
Bring them here now. Fast!
Alright, guys, we have
these girls here that are
awake right now, and
Stephen is still asleep.
Probably because he got
woken up at midnight
and he's tired now!
- Wait, he did?
(air horn)
- Yes, we pulled a prank on
Stephen, the second it was
his birthday, but guys,
the pranks are not over.
Are you guys up for pulling
another prank on Stephen?
- Yeah!
- Shh, shh! Guys, we can't
wake him up! Be quiet!
Alright, guys, we are going to try,
to the best of our ability, to act like
we forgot Stephen's birthday.
And I know you guys are
thinking that we already
went into his room and
said, "happy birthday"
at midnight, but, guys, Stephen
walks and talks in his sleep
every single night. He has weird dreams.
We're gonna play it off
like that was a dream,
and today we're gonna act like nothing.
We're not gonna say happy birthday,
we're not gonna act like
we're planning anything at all
for his birthday.
- But that's mean!
- But guess what? Mom was doing something
while you guys all slept.
- What?
- While everyone slept, I was super busy.
(upbeat music)
- Alright, guys, it is
getting close to 10 o'clock.
There is no way he's going
to sleep longer than this.
Everyone, get ready!
Alright, guys, so it is
technically 10:30 now,
we're just sitting here
chilling, waiting for-
guys! Guys! He's coming, he's coming!
- Morning!
- Morning.
- Hey, how do you like my picture?
- Yeah, nice.
- Know what you want
for breakfast, pumpkin?
- Uh, sure?
- Mmkay!
- There's your cereal.
Alright, SOTY Family, now
that Stephen has decided
to grace us with his
presence, we are gonna go over
what we're doing today!
We are going to film, we
are going to do chores,
we are going to be doing
some homework, math,
all of those things, we're
just gonna do a everyday,
a day in our lives, the SOTY family,
just doing what we do everyday!
Kind of like a routine.
Are you guys ready?
- (collective) Yeah!
- All right!
Stephen, hurry and eat, you're
already putting us behind!
- Sorry I didn't get so
much sleep last night,
'cause you guys came in my room
in the middle of the night!
- Who?
- You and dad.
- No, we did not.
- What are you talking about?
- We did not.
I don't know what you're talking about.
- You and dad, you both came
into my room last night.
- We did not come into your room-
okay, guys, since Stephen
was a little teeny baby,
he would have night terrors.
I used to stay up all
night long holding him
because he had night
terrors and he'd scream,
and they were these
nightmares that I couldn't
wake him up from, and then after that,
I read that if you had
night terrors as a baby,
you would sleepwalk and do weird
things when you're an adult
And guys, do you sleep
walk and talk in your sleep
almost every night?
- I don't know.
- Yes, he does. He knows it.
He does! He bangs on walls,
he does all these things, and apparently,
he also had this crazy dream
of something that did not
happen- your dad and I
were asleep last night.
Alright, SOTY family, everyone grab a book
and some homework! Let's do this!
Alright, guys, what we do
on a normal summer routine,
is we read books, and we do homework.
I make the kids do these
things for routine!
- I think he believed us, guys.
- Alright, guys, while
Stephen is reading and
doing some homework, we need
to get a few things prepared.
Alright, guys, I need to rush to the store
to get some party decorations.
I have to go pick up
Stephen's birthday cake
that I am having made, and I
have to do a few other things-
cleaning around the pool area,
before his surprise party tonight.
Alright, guys, I'm coming to check on
to see if you are doing the
stuff I asked you to do!
Stephen, math homework, remember?
- Do I have to?
- Yes, math home work, buddy, come on.
- Why today?
- Because everyday we
do our math homework.
Come on, buddy. Let's do it.
- Today's my-
- Let's go!
Guys, I actually feel a little,
just a teensy bit bad for Stephen,
but it's okay, we'll make
up for it in the end.
He's gonna be super surprised,
but guys, I really think
he's falling for it.
He's just too nice to mention
that we forgot his birthday.
Alright, guys, me and the girls just went
and got Stephen's cake, and it is amazing.
Taylor is completely in awe.
This is what she wants
to do when she grows up-
guys, the person that made
this cake is so talented.
Guys, Stephen is going to be so excited.

and you are looking for
an amazing cake, check out

on all her social medias,

Alright, guys, I am back home.
Everything is coming together smoothly;
I have almost everything I need.
Now it's time to put on the pressure.
I'm going to see if I can
get Stephen to actually
say something like,
"guys, it's my birthday,
why haven't you said anything?"
So, I'm going to put the pressure on.
Stephen!
Stephen!
It's time for chores now. Did
you do your math homework?
- Yes, I did my math homework.
- Kay, I would like you to,
let me think, pull weeds
outside, kay?
- Pull weeds?
- Yeah, can you pull
weeds outside, please?
- Our yard's not even done yet though!
- I know, but there's weeds out
there, can you just do that?
- Where do you want me to pull weeds at?
- Anywhere that you see weeds.
- Mom, you're really
making me do this today?
- Yep.
- Maybe another day, like tomorrow?
- We're showing our routine,
come on, you can do it.
Get some weeds pulled;
I'll go assign chores to the other girls.
Alright, guys, I think it is time
to finally put an end to this
and let Stephen know that we've
been pranking him all along.
Alright, girls, let's go
tell Stephen, come on.
- Pranked ya!
- I knew it! I knew you guys didn't forget
my freakin' birthday!
- Did you think we forgot your birthday?
- Yeah.
- Did you really?
- Yeah, come on.
You guys just made me
pick a bunch of weeds!
- Well, you did homework, you
pulled weeds, now let's party!
Right, come on!
- Wait, so it's Stephen's birthday?
- Alright, guys, pranking
Stephen was fun and all,
but we have two hours
before party guests arrive,
and we have to decorate and
plan an entire birthday party.
- Wait! Wait, wait, wait, wait a sec.
Where are my presents at?
- Alright, Stephen, I
guess the prank is done.
Inside that theater room
are all of your presents.
Go for it! Pull!
- I haven't seen this room!
- Oh, snap!
- Look at that!
- Yes, you didn't forget my birthday!
And you did come into my room
in the middle of the night,
didn't you?
- That would be a big, fat yes!
- Alright, guys, it's
time to open my presents.
Let's do this. First present, here we go.
Alright! I got some shoes
that I really, really,
really needed, I got some
sandals; flip flops. Oh boy!
- Flippety flop!
- And this one is... church shoes!
I also need those, really, really badly.
- So, apparently, you just needed shoes.
- Oh, yeah.
- Present number two!
- I got some new shirts I also needed!
- Oh! He's not even gonna look at them!
- I looked at them! Next present!
This is full on snorkeling gear right now.
- Oh, my goodness!
- Alright, you have two
presents left, make 'em count!
- That's my present!
- That's yours?
- Thanks, Parker.
- What is it, Parker?
- I don't even know if
she knows what it is.
- What is it?
- It is stuff to buy stuff,
and so you can have more.
- An Xbox gift card that
apparently Parker got me.
- Yep!
- Alright, Stephen, the last present.
- It must be good!
- I got some pants.
- I give you these ones.
- You give me this stuff?
Shorts, some more shorts, I needed those.
More. More. More. More!
- What? Is this a whole closet?
- There's more?
- More! I needed all these, though,
so it's not such a bad thing.
And we're done.
- We're done!
Is there any underwear?
- No underwear.
- Happy Birthday, Stephen!
- Thank you for all the
clothes, I needed, really
really badly!
Happy Birthday, me!
Happy Birthday, Stephen!
- Here's the confetti!
- Woohoo!
We must've forgotten a present.
- No, this is mine.
- Awe.
- What is that thing?
- It's just a scooter I wanted.
Let's party!
(party music)
- They got me wet!
Alright, Stephen, it's your birthday-
what did you request for your dessert?
- Root beer floats. Obviously.
- Root beer floats!
- (singing) Happy Birthday, Stephen!
- Did you even make a wish?
- Stephen is funny and compassionate.
- I love Stephen; he is nice
and he always is nice to me
and I always play with him.
- Stephen's kind and he's always happy.
- Stephen is enthusiastic.
- Stephen's not just a good person,
but he's an awesome friend.
- Stephen is super fun to be around and is
really easygoing.
- Well, guys, thanks for

they didn't know it was my birthday.
But then things turned out pretty cool.
