I'm gonna make everyone snow cones!
- Say what!
- Where are my presents?

- Huh?
(bright acoustic guitar music)
- For today's vlog, we celebrate my 10th birthday.
But before I get started,

(Steve singing)
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪
- Hmm?
- [Steve] It's your birthday.
How old are you Taylor? - 10.
- [Steve] I love you.
- I love you, too.
- Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
- To me!
- School, here I come.
(bright music)
- So as you guys can tell,
today is Taylor's special day
but while she's at school,
we're going to do something for ourselves.
Well, it's kinda for the whole family.
We are going to have our very first meeting
about our new house that we are building.
It is a pre-construction meeting,
so I really don't know what that means.
Do you know what it means?
- Before construction.
- (laughs) Before construction, there you go.
But I'm excited,
we're going to have a meeting about our house!
And then we have party plans as soon as Taylor gets home.
I'm nervous.
All right guys, we are back from our meeting,
and things are just crazy.
Things are happening and I'm excited and I'm nervous
and I'm just (squeals).
We have a huge packet here of things
that I need to be deciding for our house,
like finishes and colors and just all those little details
that go into building a house that you don't realize
until you're actually building a house.
So, I need to be making a lot of decisions
these next few weeks.
Comment below, guys,
what color of house you think we should have.
I wanna see what your guys's ideas are
and if they are at all close to what I am thinking.
Also, Taylor is getting home from school,
and as soon as she gets home, we have a lot going on.
We're gonna eat her favorite dinner,
and then she has to run to soccer.
And Steven and I have somewhere to go,
and Dad is going to take the rest of the girls
and do something special for Taylor.
They're gonna surprise her at her soccer practice.
I don't know what they're gonna do,
but, hopefully, it's great,
and she's all surprised and excited.
And we will all meet back here at home
to do her present opening and eat her favorite dessert.
- I'm home from school.
- Taylor picked out a delicious dinner
for her birthday dinner!
What'd you pick?
- Meatballs.
- Deeee-licious.
- I heard carrots improve your eyesight.
Let me see...
Ow! (laughs)
- He's so weird.
I'm so glad that Taylor picked meatballs
because they're delicious.
She picked some potatoes and some rolls,
but the thing that I'm really excited for is--
- Brownies!
- So I'm going to pass you guys off to Steve and the girls.
- Come with us.
- Let's party.
- We have a big surprise for Taylor.
It's her birthday, we're gonna run,
get tons of cool stuff, and we're gonna put it in this car
so when she comes out from soccer practice,
we can yell:
- Surprise!
- OK, so we're here at the store.
There's a million things here,
and we're each gonna find some things
that we think will be good surprises for Taylor.
- We need a birthday crown.
- We need noise makers.
- We need streamers to decorate.
- She needs a lei.
- And we can't have any surprises without balloons.
- Lots of balloons.
- We're gonna fill our car up with balloons.
- And of course we gotta get something for ourselves.
- We are totally ready for Taylor's surprise.
Look at the back of our car.
It is full of balloons.
- This is gonna be awesome.
- Time to decorate this car!
- Like it's from that.
I'm gonna go through here.
- This car is gonna be totally awesome.
- She's coming!

and they were able to surprise Taylor.
Now we get to open presents finally
and have her yummy dessert,
which is really what I've been waiting for this whole time.

Presents!
- Silence!
Let's do this.
So many choices.
- Six to be exact.
- And I choose this one.
- Good choice, good choice.
But I don't know what it is.
- I think it's a doll.
- One, two, three!
And it is (gasps) what I wanted!
It's a doll! (laughing)
- [Payton] I knew it!
- She has the same doll like Payton.
- She has the same doll like Payton!
- I knew it.
- I was gonna say that, instead Payton said it.
- Meet Meredith.
Do you see a resemblance?
- I do, I do!
- The glasses are throwing it off.
- She doesn't have glasses?
I think that Taylor should open up the tiny present now.
- What is it, what is it, what is it?
It's light.
One, two, three!
(bright electronic music)
(laughing)
This is gonna match mine!
Now we're really gonna be twins.
- (chatters excitedly)
- Thank you, thank you, thank you!
What does it sound like?
What is this?
It's a loom.
You can make a bag.
- [Mom] Now you can make a bunch of presents for Mommy.
- Parker, hand me my next present!
Oh, That's heavy.
- I'm strong.
- [Mom] Oh, look at those muscles!
- This really is a heavy present.
I wonder if it's anything good
- One, two, three.
- (gasps) You clip these roller blades on your shoes.
- Dang it, I wanted one of those.
Why does she get the good gift?
- You can wear my pink ones.
- Ehhhh.
- Mmmmm why can't I have one?
- Oh, why can't I have one?
- Why can't I have one?
- Are you ready for your next present?
- Bring it on.
I'm not getting any hints here.
- It's the box for the toys.
- It's a snow cone maker!
I'm gonna make everyone snow cones!
- Say what!
- Present really heavy.
- I think it's a costume.
- The big one's full of the babies.
(laughter)
- I hope not.
- [Family] Open it!
Open it!
- That's it.
- What is it?
- It's a pogo stick!
I need it open right now, I'm gonna open it.
- It's an electronic pogo stick.
- This is awesome!
- Where are my presents?
(laughter)
- She doesn't have any.
- Huh?
- Time to Pogo.
Uh, I may need some practice.
Time for desert!
- Yea, I'm so excited, the best part ever!
(cheering)
- Gimme the brownie, gimme the brownie, gimme the brownie.
- They're a bunch of vultures.
I'm just gonna go to my bedroom real quick.
All right, so Payton had a birthday a few days ago,
and she was given one of those dolls that Taylor got also,
so they both have two matching dolls.
And Steve and I thought
that we didn't want Jordan to be left out
because they all play together,
and there was another blonde doll at the store
that looked so much like Jordan,
so they would each have a doll
that kind of was their little twin,
and so we got it as a surprise for Jordan.
Doesn't it look like Jordan?
I love surprising my kids.
(playful music)
- Whose is that?
What? That for me?
(squealing)
(Laughter)
(screaming)
- Thank you, Mom and Dad!
Now we can play with our dolls together.
- Here is Meredith's glasses.
Doesn't she look like me?
I got glasses cases, a purse, and sunglasses.
See? Stylish.
I have an orchestra concert tomorrow.
- Well, I have a soccer game.
- I have ballet.
- Let's meet up after all those activities and play.
- [Jordan] Yeah, let's go.
- Excellent idea, Meredith.
- Meredith.
- Makayla
- Anne
- Time for dessert.

I can hear her.
- She wants a scooter.
She's such a big girl, blowing out one whole candle.

It's time to say some nice things about me.
- Taylor is always willing to do that extra little favor
that really helps me out sometimes, and I appreciate it.

Are you gonna share your doll with her?
