- I've got my hat on,
I've got my Griffiths & Bear It shirt on,
that means I'm getting ready
to do yard work (laughs),
not sleeping.
Thanks Jared for getting
these shirts for us last year.
- You're welcome, I'm
just the best aren't I?
Why are you looking at
me like I'm not the best?
- This morning it is a
beautiful day in Utah
which is really nice to
say because I feel like
I've not been able to say
that much this spring.
Look how beautiful it is,
the sun is out, the kids are out,
we are getting ready to
get some yard work done,
but first we wanna eat breakfast.
I made some german pancakes,
I haven't made these in years.
Probably the last time I made
these was when Jared and I
were in our old old old apartment.
So that's what this is.
You put butter in the pan, you blend eggs,
a little bit of milk,
a little bit of flour,
a little bit of vanilla
extract, a dash of salt.
You put it in the oven, and
it like curls over the edge
like that, it's kinda weird,
but they're really good.
So we're gonna go outside,
and we're gonna eat breakfast
outside and hang out.
Are you ready to come outside Mr. Tommy?
(lighthearted music)
Good morning.
We're gonna hang out outside
for most of the morning,
it's only like 8:30 (laughs),
is that what time it is?
Jared and I, we moved,
we had some egg chairs right here
that we moved up by our fire pit,
and then we have our outdoor table
and I've been wanting to
get like a patio couch
or something comfy,
but I haven't known which one I've wanted.
So yesterday we went to
a ton of stores in town,
like went to like Costco, and Sam's Club,
and like Ashley Furniture,
we just didn't really see any
that really fit what I want,
everything was really dark in color,
and I rather it be more light.
So we ended up finding a
little couch for outside
from West Elm yesterday that
we're gonna put right here,
and there's a little
chase on it right here.
And so that's where that couch will go.
Is the sun in your eyes?
Trying to keep you in the shade.
But (stammers) really excited for that,
I think that'll be really
fun in the summer to,
well it's summer now, but it'll be fun
at nights to sit
and hang out.
(Calvin babbling)
- Jackson comes in here,
we have to close these because
the sun will be in Tom's eyes.
- Yeah, we don't want
the sun in his eyes, huh?
Okay kid, it's time for a nap, okay?
Let's look at your pants,
look how wet they are.
He spat up when we pull weeds,
he's actually been a huge distraction,
that's why I can't wait for him
to go down for a nap, kay?
Kay.
All right, I pretty much have done
everything that I can do by myself.
I'm waiting for Jared to be done editing
so that we can go to the store together,
I need a few drip systems done.
So thank you Jared, he's
gonna help me with that,
but I have to show you this is
only probably half the yard,
this is four bags full of weeds.
So I picked weeds this morning,
I sprayed a few spots that are just like
really hard to get all the weeds out,
so I'm really happy with
how our yard is coming,
but it is a lot of work.
This is like one of my
favorite things to do though.
- Good morning guys,
today's video requires
some special equipment.
So you're gonna come
with me as I go pick up
a few things from the store
so we can have a really great day today.
We're gonna open this guy up.
(Jared groaning)
I have to go grab
something from the store,
and I'm hoping what I need
fits in the back of here,
but there's another thing that I need
that will fit longways all
the way up to the front,
and then a couple other blaster things.
All right give it to me, give it to me,
let's see, is it gonna be long enough?
I mean like maybe, just barely.
Okay, I think it'll fit.
Guys, I think we're in luck.
I got two things that
I needed at the store.
One of them was this big
box to put things in,
and one of them is to put us inside of,
and run into each other.
Now let's just hope
this fits inside there.
Oh my gosh, is it literally that close,
will it even close?
Let's find out.
No, so close.
I need like one inch.
Come on, give me something good.
Oh yeah, and
closed.
♪ One more stop ♪
♪ Here we go ♪
Two by six by 10, sounds like a win.
Why do I feel like this
is the beginning of like
a final destination movie?
That's pretty solid, I think
we'll be okay. (laughs)
Give this video a thumbs up if you think
I'm gonna make it home okay.
Oh jeez, I hope everyone thinks
I can make it home okay.
Now you probably gathered what
this plank of wood is for,
Jackson what do you think it's for?
- Game.
- The game?
It's for you to walk the plank matey
because I'm the captain of the ship,
and there's only room
enough for one of us,
walk the plank.
(lighthearted music)
This probably isn't the
smartest idea I've ever had
because I'm holding the
camera in my hand and--
- [Jackson] Is it waterproof?
- It's not waterproof,
no it's not Jackson.
Feel pretty good, okay, all right,
we made it across,
okay all right.
Now that I've safety-proofed it,
it's totally safe for Jackson
and Calvin, am I right?
All right guys, who is ready to play
the game?
- Yay!
- Today we are going to be playing
the last one to fall off
the plank wins the prize!
Mom, what's the prize?
- $400.
- $400
or four quarters to Pizza Pie Cafe,
what do you guys think?
- Or gumballs.
- [Jared] Or four gumballs,
what do you guys think?
Between those three prizes.
$400, four quarters to Pizza Pie Cafe,
or four gumballs.
What do you guys think?
- Um.
- Lollipops.
- [Jared] Four lollipops?
- $1000.
- $1000?
Let's play the game, find out who wins.
Calvin, you're going
up for four lollipops.
Jackson, you're going up for $1000.
Mom, I don't know,
maybe I'll get you like a diamond ring,
or something like that, something
dumb like that, we'll see.
Tommy, we'll get you another binky,
and if I win, well I'll tell
you when I win. (laughs)
Now the rules of the game are very simple,
the last person to fall off the plank
wins the prize of their choice,
or what Mommy and Daddy ultimately decide.
There's a couple caveats to that though,
do you know what a caveat is?
- No.
- It's like there's a couple other things
that may come into play.
There's challenges, we're
gonna have you do things
while we're up on this plank.
Different challenges, different things
to make it harder and harder and harder
every minute that we're on there, okay?
- Okay.
- So should we get ready,
and get on this plank, and get started,
and get ready to rock and roll?
- Yay!
- You don't seem like you're
too excited about this,
is this gonna be tough for ya?
We're gonna get Calvin's life jacket on,
I think I'm just gonna stay in my clothes,
and then we're gonna go from there.
Mommy may take some timeouts
because she's taking care of Tommy,
and we're giving her those timeouts, okay?
- Guess what?
This is science if you get
in the hot tub with pockets,
the water will get in your pocket,
and your pants will be filled with water.
- That's right, and
Jackson you said it right,
it's science. (laughs)
- [Ellie] Over on the sidelines,
we have some baby toes,
some chicken. (laughs)
He does not look happy,
I don't think he likes
that I put him in this.
But I think you look so sweet there.
He's just eating up some
late afternoon lunch
while we get ready to have
some fun in the hot tub.
- All right contestants, are you ready?
- Yay!
- You didn't say yeah,
are you scared?
You a little scared?
We're gonna start walking on the plank.
Calvin, you're first in line,
Jackson, you're second in line,
and I'm last, okay?
Here we go.
- [Jackson] Oh my gosh, this is crazy.
- All right, here I go.
You're doing great.
I turned my hat around backwards
because this is a test.
All right, is everyone in position?
- Yeah.
- Is everyone good?
Oh Jackson, you almost fell.
Are we ready for challenge number one?
- Yeah.
- Challenge number one
is the simplest challenge
that we have.
It features the simple
action of one small jump.
Just up and down on the wood,
and you will have successfully passed
challenge number one.
Who would like to go first?
- [Jackson] I would.
- [Ellie] Whoa.
Calvin, do you wanna try that?
Nope, Calvin doesn't wanna try it,
Daddy?
- I'm gonna try it.
- [Ellie] Whoa, that was good.
Okay, Calvin's done.
Good job Calvin, you did great.
- We have eliminated one contestant,
that means it's just you and me.
But wait,
I think we have a next contestant
who's making their way.
Ellie, climb aboard.
Are you on the plank?
I'm on with one foot.
- One foot?
How did you know what our next,
oh my gosh look at that yoga pose!
- The next challenge
is standing on one foot
for 10 seconds.
- Okay Jackson, can you do it?
- [Jackson] I think so.
- Please put 10 seconds on the clock.
Ready?
On your mark, get set,
stand on one foot for 10 seconds.
Nine, eight, seven,
six, five, four (laughs),
three, ah! (laughs)
And he's out!
Good job.
- Now Mommy and Daddy's turn,
what are we gonna do?
- I have something in mind
just for the two of us,
are you ready?
- Yes.
- Challenge number three.
Okay, we are ready for
challenge number three,
boys are you ready?
- Yeah!
- Yeah.
- Start shootin'.
- No.
(both screaming)
- Feels so good and warm.
- It does feel good.
- I think I just peed my pants.
- Woo,
one foot, oh Ellie is
taking the stakes up higher.
- [Jackson] Watch this.
- Oh my gosh,
do you know what else Ellie? (screams)
I think I'm the champion!
- What do you win?
- I don't know, I have to think about it.
So let's see, I can pick anything
that I want.
- Tickle, tickle, tickle!
(Jared laughing)
- You little cheat, you stink,
I was the champion.
- Smells so good,
smells so good.
- Do you remember when we built our house?
- Oh it was amazing.
- And all of the wood
just smelt so good.
Has Tommy ever gone in the hot tub?
- Yeah, he loves it.
- [Jared] Hey, are you having a good time?
- Yep.
- Was that a fun challenge?
- Yeah.
- Who do you think won?
(Jackson mumbling)
I did!
You know I think the real
winner of this contest
might be this guy.
- Oh he's bringing in his zucchini dinner.
- [Jared] Oh yum, oh yeah.
What do you think?
Do you love it?
Yeah.
- This feels good after
a day of yard work.
- [Jared] Yeah it does.
(lighthearted music)
- I'm gonna do a handstand.
- [Jared] Oh my gosh, let's see it.
- Okay, I'm nervous.
- [Jared] Woo!
That was great.
- It was good!
- [Jared] I can't believe this,
he's just like wanting
to do crazy challenges.
Jackson (mumbles)
on the plank, let's see it!
Heyo!
Woo!
Ooh nice!
Mommy you are--
- This is gonna end bad,
but we're just gonna try it.
- [Jared] Go for it girl, I love it.
Woo!
- I don't care, I don't care.
- Should I try?
- [Jackson] If you don't do it,
you get squirt by the water gun.
- Oh jeez, okay ready?
Here we go.
Woo, was that okay?
- That was good.
- I did it, I did it, I did it!
I'm channeling my inner Shawn Johnson.
Gymnastics, ho!
And bow to the audience,
and bow to the audience,
ladies and gents, that's how it's done.
(lighthearted music)
