8 PASSENGERS [Captions by Mikee M. at Y Translator]
Good morning, passengers.
I am so happy today because Kevin's home.
And we started the morning with the kids fighting in the kitchen over,
the dead mouse.
>> Abby,
is this what I think it is?
Why...
do you have to leave your mouse...
on the counter where the food and dishes go?
>> Because there's nowhere else to put it.
>> Put it on the porch outside, that's disgusting.
>> There's usually dead mouse on our kitchen counter now because that's how,
Bagles the snake, eats.
>> It's in a bucket.
>> That's even worse, no.
But, there's germs on the outside of the bucket.
>> No, there's not.
>> It's a clean mouse.
>> It's dead.
So, I kicked everyone out of the house so I can finish
getting ready for the day.
I'm folding my laundry.
While Kevin was gone,
during his last business trip,
I took the TV console.
Do people call it consoles these days?
I call it a console.
Here is our lovely nightstand,
the before.
Nightstand?
I mean TV console.
Whatever you call it and I refurbished it.
We've had it for a long time.
We've had it for about 10 years,
and it needed a little bit of a facelift.
Now,
time for the kill.
I mean KILZ.
[Music]
>> From Dennis Uniforms.
>> Look at how ugly this picture is.
>> It's cute.
>> They put a weird orange filter on it.
>> I like it.
You have an official passport.
>> Now, I can go anywhere in the world. >> Can I see your picture?
>> Can I see your picture?
>> World, watch out, here comes Shari.
You guys are back with food.
'Okay, so I'm gonna kick you guys out of the house more often.
I had so much fun being by myself.
Getting ready and nobody to watch.
It's awesome.
Okay, I don't think Kevin has seen the console yet that I painted.
I did my best and I ran out of paint.
So the insides of the door and the inside of the contour are like,
not that great.
I think Kevin will still like it so,
But, I need his help...
getting the doors on.
Do you want to help me?
>> Oh no.
>> You got your drill. >> I painted the console.
>> You painted the -- oh, serious?
>> Yeah. Do you like it?
>> That looks good!
>> I was worried you'd be mad at me.
>> No, it looks great.
>> Okay,
let's get the doors on.
>> Let's do it. Okay.
>> So, I got these handles.
That.
Do you like that?
[DRILL]
>> Righty, loosey?
Lefty.
>> Screwy.
>> Righty, loosey?
Lefty...
Tightey.
>> Let me.
>> No, Eve.
>> Hold it.
>> She's fine, Russell.
>> Russell. Russell.
>> She's making it worse.
>> [KEVIN] Wow.
>> That's impressive.
>> Okay, try it to me.
>> Julie, that's impressive!
>> Russell.
>> He's already screaming.
>> Wow.
Oh, almost.
>> When did she learn to do all this?
>> She did two hundred swings on the swing set.
>> That makes so much sense.
She does the splits because she swings two hundred times...
on the swing set.
>> I did more.
I did like two hundred jumping jacks...
two hundred windmills and...
>> Two hundred jumping jacks?
>> This is a good example of how Kevin works in his work zone.
He gets into his work zone and literally...
there could be a hurricane and he would just continue...
>> Russell!
>> working. [Eve cries]
>> [Shari] He dropped her on her head.
>> Okay, I gotta go.
>> That looks nice.
>> [RUBY] No, no!
Does it not close?
>> [inaudible]
>> I was waiting for like a grand finale and it's...
>> And cut.
>> Take two.
>> Here we go, drum roll.
>> [ALL] Yay!
>> [RUBY] Do you like it?
Did I do a good job?
>> It really does. It looks so nice.
>> Well you can totally tell now, the white accentuates Eve's ninja nails marks.
>> I'm trying to get close so you guys can see there's a scratch
that goes across the screen.
And then there's like ninja nail scratches.
>> Finger marks.
>> I feel like we should get Daddy... >> Dad deserves a new TV.
>> Should we surprise him?
>> Yes.
>> Should we surprise him?
Let's give dad a day that we spoil him.
>> Okay.
>> Kevin never asks for anything.
And he doesn't even ask for like you know,
some guys have their hobbies.
Kevin doesn't.
He literally works,
travels,
and then when he's home, he helps me around the house.
Like that's his hobby is to help me.
It's a little
sad.
We should,
we should take him and get him a TV.
>> Are you gonna drive? >> Yes!
>> I'm gonna drive. You guys go get in the car.
We're gonna surprise him.
Don't tell him what we're doing.
>> Okay.
[Music]
>> One.
Two.
Three.
Open your eyes.
>> He's found the one.
>> I like it. >> This is the one.
>> It's definitely. This would be way too big for our room though.
[Music]
This was amazing.
You guys totally surprised me.
>> You deserve it, I'm glad.
>> But this means I need to get Xfinity X1.
>> XFinity is partnering with us for this video which is awesome,
because we've had Xfinity Internet for years,
and we absolutely love it.
But,
I have always been very cautious,
and very concerned about what comes through our television,
and what our kids see.
I want to make sure our kids are protected,
if we get Xfinity X1, and so I am making Kevin
be the one to do the homework,
and make sure that I'm happy and satisfied,
and I'm very very picky with what my kids are exposed to.
So, Kevin you have to do your homework on all of the parental controls,
so you can convince me before we get Xfinity X1 service.
>> Okay. I will.
[Music]
>> Ruby challenged me to do some homework
on the parental controls for Xfinity X1,
and I have done it.
Family meeting.
Music Room.
Go go go.
I've gathered all of the family here.
Everyone, except Chad, who's away at camp,
so he can't be here.
But, I wanted to report to you the findings of my homework
that Ruby told me.
You didn't think I'd do it so fast, did you?
I was thinking you'd forget about it.
>> I'm serious.
So here's what I found.
X Finity X1 has a thing called Kids Zone...
which is safe content for kids,
that we can block all the pay-per-view or on-demand content.
You can also lock individual applications on X1.
If we had concerns about Netflix or YouTube,
we could lock those types of applications if we wanted to.
We can lock TV's and movies by their rating,
and we can also lock the TV by the time of day.
We can lock titles of individual series
that aren't very good for kids,
and we can also lock certain channels.
There's a feature called 'safe browse',
which prevents adult titles,
or adult content from appearing on the on-screen guide.
and also 'safe search',
which prevents these things from appearing,
anytime you guys try to search for it.
So, I don't know Ruby.
I personally feel pretty good about it.
Like it has all the controls we need to create a safe environment for our
kids to watch television.
>> If we can turn it off at any time.
So if I say,
Okay, I'm going to the grocery store,
or I'm going somewhere,
and I want to turn it off.
I can just.
It's an app on my phone?
You use the Xfinity X1 remote controller.
>> Okay.
>> And you have to enter a code to turn it back on.
>> And the only person who knows that code is me and you?
>> Okay.
>> Can we please get it, mom?
>> Yeah, can we please?
>> You're such a.
>> [ALL] Please.
>> Enough, stop it!
Yes.
>> Whooo!
[APPLAUSE]
>> Yes, we can get it.
>> Hey, Nollie's happy too.
>> All right. Well we're actually full of surpises today.
If you remember a few videos ago,
we went on a drive to look at um no man's land.
The truth is we bought the property,
and we haven't shown you guys yet,
but we're going to show you right now.
[Music]
We are going to stay living in our house.
We're not moving.
Our house is going to be our house...
until all of our kids are grown adults,
and our grandkids are even grown up.
Like that is our house until we can't walk up and down the stairs anymore.
About a month and half ago,
I remember going to bed,
like exhausted emotionally.
I've been handling some things that I just...
I just felt like I would never have to handle.
I said my prayers.
I laid my head down and I just asked...
Heavenly Father to please help me,
to just be able to go to sleep.
[Music]
I closed my eyes,
and I saw the most beautiful place.
It was,
like this rolling Green Hill and then it had like a lake...
at the bottom of the hill.
And it was...
green sagebrush.
which is beautiful.
[Music]
And I was standing there, looking at it and
I remember thinking...
like maybe this is a little piece of heaven.
So, then five days later Kevin came home from work with this ad.
With this picture in it and he's like,
hey this piece of property is...
slashed in price,
because the owners,
they're adopting some children,
and they need cash fast,
and so, it's been reduced by 30%,
which is an insane amount to reduce property.
And I looked at the picture and I was like,
whoa, whoa, whoa...
where is this picture from?
That's,
I saw this place in my dreams as I was going to sleep.
I saw it. This is the exact place.
And so we went and looked at it I was like...
there's no way I would ever say yes to buying this place,
except that I felt like God had already shown it to me.
The purchase of it helped put a family together.
It helped put some foster children permanently with a mom and dad,
and so I really feel like this was an act of God.
We're going to camp on it for years and years and years to come.
And maybe in the next 10 to 20 years,
we can build a cabin on it.
It's a big enough place where all of our kids can come together,
with their spouses and their children.
We can host tons and tons and tons of adults at this place
and it's going to be amazing.
>> [ALL] Welcome to our new place.
[Music]
>> Let's give everyone a tour.
>> All right.
First.
Dirt.
>> Dirt.
>> Plants.
>> We've got sagebrush.
>> Weeds.
>> And weeds.
>> And the lake.
>> And the view of a beautiful lake.
And the mountain...
>> A tennis court and the volleyball court.
>> And a volleyball court.
>> Say that again, a tennis court?
and basketball court?
>> And a volleyball court.
>> What?
>> Run! Run!
>> What?
Run!
The road is going to end right here into a cul de sac.
I know it's really hard to picture.
But, the cul-de-sac.
So, it's a big lot.
It's about three acres.
The developer who put this together,
put in a tennis court,
a basketball court.
volleyball court ,
and...
picnic area.
And it's right by our place.
So it looks like we own it.
Even though we don't. >> Look at my [inaudible]
But, it kind of,
it's right on our backyard, literally.
Let it be known Kevin was the first...
to go to the bathroom on our property.
[Music]
Did you catch something?
>> I just want a fish.
[Eve crying]
>> Before you think this is Picture Perfect...
We had a hook go in Eve's finger,
and I'm tangled up in fishing line,
so I'm gonna go.
Thank you so much for watching.
And X Finity, thank you for sponsoring this video.
[Music]
>> Oh you're right! Look at the little one licking itself.
>> Oh my gosh.
They have cows here.
Oh my gosh.
This is so fun. Look, they're babies.
