- Should we show this off yet or no?
Isn't she so pretty?
I love when she ahh!
Oh isn't this just sweet.
(gentle music)
(laughing)
we're gonna go go on an adventure.
Gonna go go on an adventure.
Gonna go of on an adventure, gonna go.
What are you doing back here,
gathering up things? - Rummaging through
- all our crap.
- [Jared] Oh no, not the rummaging.
- We have a huge day.
- [Jared] Yes we do. - At Mom and Dad's,
- I think we're gonna do like 10 or 13 recipes,
Dutch oven meals.
I'll see you tonight for fire.
- [Jared] Yes.
- Lots of work.
So I won't see you much today.
- Which is why I'm here to say goodbye to you,
but I will see you a little bit later.
- Okay.
I love you. - Have fun with your family.
- That was a wimpy kiss I know, but
- Well you just put your lipstick on.
I know the business.
I've been married to you.
- Oh I hear the kids.
- Quick, hide.
Okay drive safe.
We'll see you later, I'll see you this afternoon.
Me and the boys are gonna do something fun
for a video while we're gone, okay?
And it involves you, but not directly, okay?
It's gonna be fun Ellie. - What?
- [Ellie] Tell me about it.
- I'm not gonna tell you, it's a surprise.
(laughing)
Should we show this off yet or no?
- Yeah let's do it now, come here.
- Nah.
So we've had a lot of people ask us about the Pacifica
and where the heck did it go.
A lot of you know that we worked with Chrysler
in promoting their new Pacifica and we loved it.
We loved working with Chrysler,
we loved the Pacifica.
It is by far my favorite mini van of all time
and I mean that sincerely.
- Oh absolutely.
- After the year was done,
we had the option of buying the van
and what it came down to was
during the wintertime,
we wanted a vehicle that had all-wheel drive,
just to be a little bit more safe while driving,
and so instead of driving that,
we bought this one instead.
- It was the hardest decision.
- It really was.
- And that was the only thing
that was the only thing
was just we wanted four-wheel drive for the snow.
Because last year, the van was good in the snow,
but we have a canyon that we go through a lot
and it was kind of hard to get through that.
- Yeah, so we still recommend the Pacifica.
It is my favorite mini van,
but we just wanted to tell you what happened with it.
- Jared ended up finding an awesome used car
with really low miles,
so that's what we are with right now.
We really want to upgrade our blue one
and have a van, and then an SUV,
so we'd have, like the van would be our run around car.
- Yeah.
- So that's our end goal,
to go back to it
- To go back to it. - Sometime.
- So that's where we're at right now.
Some people had questions
and we figured we'd
answer them for you. - And here are your answers.
- Before I head out,
I want to show you guys
a little gift basket that Jared and I put together
for our builder and his wife,
because we've been in the house for a year,
I really wanted to get them something
and it never happened.
And I felt really bad.
But now that it's coming up on the year mark,
I'm going to give them to them.
I found them a little basket.
They each have an awesome pair of dun winter socks.
These are some old-fashioned cinnamon drops.
We have a little house for them
and it's a little house to store garlic in
and I thought this was fitting,
because they built us a house,
so I bought them a teeny house.
She has the little lipstick in here
and the main thing that we wanted to give them,
this was just kind of cutesy,
but what I wanted to give them was a gift card,
and this is to a really nice restaurant in town,
so that is for them
that we are gonna deliver today.
- Are you stuck back there?
Yeah you're stuck?
Calvin's in jail, he put himself there.
We'll get him in just a second.
But I have to show you,
look who's back from the groomers.
Isn't she so pretty, I love what she ahh!
I love when we get Penny groomed
and we groom Penny,
because her fur is just so soft.
And this time, because it's Halloween,
they got her this bandana that's
all Halloween and festive and everything and I love it.
And it reminds me of when we had my dog Sam
as a kid, because every time we would take him
to the groomers, they would always give him
this really nice blue or red handkerchief.
And our dog Peaches, which was like a mini poodle,
she would always get bows in her ears.
And so it's just takes me back
to my childhood.
And I love that we're going through
the experiences in life
that bring me back to my childhood,
the wonderful times that I had growing up.
And I get to experience that for myself again
and with the kids.
(laughs)
It's just fun to revisit those memories
and have them with our kids for the first time.
(sweet music)
Hello my love. - Hello.
- You are gonna love what me and the boys did.
I can't tell you right now, - I can't wait.
but you'll find out soon, okay?
- Do you want to know what we got?
- [Jared] Don't tell her,
it's a secret. - Daddy says to be quiet.
- Everyone's gonna know about it.
- [Jared] Sooner or later.
- I, we made, I, we all made cobbler,
cobbler, - oh mmm.
- Lasagna,
- [Jared] Get it.
- Bread, - Stop.
- Scones, - Don't stop.
- Breakfast.
- [Jared] Keep going.
Breakfast, you made it?
- Ahhh! - All of it?
- [Jared] You made all of the breakfast?
- We've been cooking all day.
- Oh I can't wait.
Wait, is any of this edible,
can we eat this?
Everyone in Ellie's family had like old Geo Prism,
or Toyota Corollas, like the early 90s,
like '93, '94, '95, those were the years.
I thought I'd give you an idea
what the model is,
and over the years, we finally upgraded our cars
and we all have some nice cars
and I just noticed all of them are here right now,
all the newer ones
and there's a trend there,
and I don't know if this is intentional or what,
but it's pretty coincidental
and pretty hilarious.
I think we all have a favorite color of vehicle.
(laughs) What the heck?
Oh my gosh, this is so crazy.
Except you old blue, old faithful.
So today we are at Grandma and Grandpa's house
and we are taking pictures
for the family cookbook that we're making.
I'm really excited about it.
We've got everyone here
and it's just fun to have all of these scenes set up.
Got all the grandkids,
most of the grandkids.
There's gonna be a few photo shoots,
but this is photo shoot number one,
so it's like milestone.
- Hulla hulla.
- Hulla hulla, hi. - Hello.
(burps)
- Oh excuse you.
(laughing)
And so we're just jumping on the trampoline
to pass the time until the next shot.
Yeah, is that what we're doing?
(chill guitar music)
Look, when was the last time
you guys were all together?
- It's been awhile.
- It's been awhile, huh? - A long time.
- When was the last time?
I guess I didn't realize that it has
- [Jared] This is the Griffiths right here.
- We went to the lake in June.
- Yeah.
- [Jared] Yeah.
- June, that wasn't too long ago,
- We made that big pizza.
- [Ellie] Five months ago.
- [Jared] Oh Calvin.
Who's kid is that? - No no no no no.
- [Jared] Geez.
Seriously.
- What's happening Woody?
- Are you hungry?
He's hungry.
- [Jared] He's hungry?
Well I'm sorry, there's no food here.
- [Grandpa] Either that or he hates gloves.
- Calvin's like no sentimental moments allowed.
We were reminiscing about the last time
you were all together,
and I'm gonna destroy it all.
Okay everyone get your legs together,
we've gotta create the shade.
- [Woman] No that's actually great.
- Perfect. - Okay okay.
- [Photographer] So we're wanting a picture of a
- [Jared] What we do to block shade.
(Jared laughs)
- Do you want to look through those really fast?
- They're not hovering over the photographer.
They're creating shade for the photographer, I promise.
(lively guitar music)
I don't want to move her very far.
- How about we put her with it?
- Okay.
- [Jared] What?
What?
Yeah.
Those look so good.
Go share.
Okay sing me a song first.
Sing me a song.
♫ Yeah
Oh beautiful.
- [Jared] Yum.
Oh isn't this just sweet.
Grandma passing out hot chocolate
to all the grandkids.
Isn't that sweet?
- Yes, all of our nerves are calmed down.
- [Jared] Good.
- It's been a day full of time,
food, fun.
- [Jared] Mmm-mmm.
(laughing)
- Your cup.
(laughing)
- Did you totally get that?
- [Jared] I totally did.
(Jared laughs)
Ready, oh my gosh, oh no!
- Ha ha, I want to do it again.
- [Jared] Hey that wasn't very nice,
it knocked me right over.
- And that was quite a day,
I hope I was even able to capture
a little bit of that.
I really enjoyed being with my family.
We had a lot of fun.
It is time for bed.
- It was, it was an adventure,
it was really cool.
And that's just part, one small part
of the whole process of this cookbook.
- It's exciting, we're learning a lot.
A huge credit to Jared.
We've only done a few sessions
for the cookbook and it's usually not been with kids,
because they don't need to be there
and it's overwhelming.
But today we did, because we wanted
to do a few photos with the kids,
we wanted to do a campfire,
and while we were in the middle
of our hectic craziness,
Jared was so cute.
He brought out his guitar,
he stayed with the kids,
he played games with them
and it was really cute for me to listen and hear him
and I went out by the fire for just a minute,
and I watched him and I wanted to film,
but I decided not to,
but he was so cute, I love you.
- Well I think the funnest part
for everyone is I grabbed all of the kids,
all of the grandkids
and I put them all on the trampoline and we had like a
- Fight. - Trampoline.
- Not a fight,
- Oh.
- it was a contest,
a trampoline trick contest.
All of the kids lined up on the edge
of the trampoline and each one
went one at a time
and they all waited patiently.
And I was like this announcer for this contest
and it was just so fun to see the kids
listen and be patient
and go one at a time all together, so.
- And do their cool trick.
- [Jared] Yeah.
- Okay, we'll see you tomorrow.
- [Jared] Thank you for watching.
- Bye.
- Bye, you're upside down.
What are we gonna do upside down?
No (mumbling).
- Make the ugliest face you can make.
(laughs)
