- You're gonna see what it takes
to run a household of basically eight people and a company,
so it's gonna be a little crazy.
You're not gonna claw the nurse this time, right?
- I didn't claw--
She legit like clawed her last time.
- So, I brought my buddy Peter in town from Utah.
We went from the largest NFL football stadium in the world
to the largest high school football stadium in the world.
(upbeat music)
Really, really sad.
JFK was a amazing man.
(upbeat music)

- So, I brought my buddy Peter in town from Utah.
We were gonna go to the BYU football game
down in Houston, but of course because
of the hurricane they canceled it
and took it to New Orleans.
That was just too much of a drive, so,
we looked here locally in Dallas AT&T Stadium,
and we had a football game there
between Michigan and Florida, right?
- [Peter] Yeah, we're Florida fans today, so--
- Well, we were trying to be Florida fans.
We did not know what we were doin'.
They're standing up doing the whole arm thing like this,
and we're pretending like we know what we're doin'.
But it was a lot of fun.
- [Peter] Not like an imposter, but, you know.
- Yeah. Yeah, go Gators, right?
(both chuckling)
There ya go.
(crowd cheering) (upbeat rock music)
- Where we are now, we went from the largest
NFL football stadium in the world,
to the largest high school football stadium in the world,
Eagle Stadium in Allen, Texas.
This is where the girl's football team is playing
they will be doing the kick line
for Majestics at the half-time.
So, we're gonna go for our second bout of football.
- I'm just thinkin', I don't know who's playing.
I know it's Lovejoy.
I don't know who they're playing.
- I don't know who else it's gonna be.
- It's just a good day for football.
- It's a good day for football.
(crowd cheering) (upbeat music)
- Hey guys, so here we are.
Tonight, we're cheering on the Lovejoy Leopards,
and Brooklyn and Bailey, who are way
down that way cheering right now.
With the whole gang.
Kelly, Corey, Greg, we'll ignore Greg.
Lindsey, Jamille, and John.
All my favorite people in Texas.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, so my buddy Peter, he's getting ready
to go out of town today, and we had a few hours,
and we asked him what do you wanna do,
and what do you wanna do?
- Come see the JFK sites.
- The JFK sites here in Dallas,
and as many of you know, in 1963, we lost our president JFK
here, where we're standing right now in Dealey Plaza.
And if you've been in any of your school history classes,
they may have shown you the videos
where he's in the motorcade, like the parade
with the police where he's going through downtown Dallas,
and he comes around this corner here,
and then somebody did some pretty horrendous act
where we lost our president,
so we'll show you a little bit of that here.
The motorcade came down through here
and started following this road all the way,
and then slowly made a turn right here,
and that's book repository there where Lee--
- [Peter] Was it when Lee Harvey Oswald doubled back?
- [Shaun] He was up there with the goal to--
- [Peter] To do bad stuff.
- [Shaun] To do bad stuff to our president.
As the motorcade started going down here,
there is a marker right there
where these people are standing,
and that was where we lost our president.
That's the infamous grassy knoll where they believe
there was a second accomplice to Lee Harvey Oswald,
who was on the sixth floor.
One, two, three, four, five, six,
in that window right up there.
Here we are, that's the exact location right there.
(inspirational music)
- Hey guys, so, I'm home from the gym,
I'm now ready for the day.
And yeah, we're gonna hit the ground running today.
We have quite a busy day.
You're gonna see what it takes
to run a household of basically eight people
and a company, so it's gonna be a little crazy.
So, I'm putting away some laundry,
I'm just getting things moving for the day in the house,
and about to hit all of my meetings
are starting in the next five minutes,
so you can follow me along for that.
So, first thing I'm working on this morning
is editing some pictures.
We took some pictures of the inside of the house,
and we're just working on cleaning those up
and making sure they look good,
and I'm gonna run 'em through the photo processor
and get 'em all edited so we can blog post
about it and start posting some on Instagram.
And the next thing we're gonna jump into is a meeting
about a top-secret project we have that we're working on
that involves kids that's coming out soon
that you guys will hear about in the next upcoming month.
Okay, so we're moving into meeting number one,
and this is our weekly high-level meeting where we kind
of go down an entire list of everything that's going on
with the company as a whole, and we go
through everything one at a time,
make sure everyone's on the same page.
There's Shaun.
- I'm on the same page.
- [Woman] He's obviously super focused right now.
- I'm on the same page.
- [Woman] Yes.
This is Sana.
What is your exact title, Sana?
- My exact title is Director
of Brand Strategy and Operations.
- And so Sana is literally like a second me.
So, if I'm out of town, or I'm not here,
or even if I am here, Sana's usually running' things
behind the show, answering emails, keeping everything
moving in a forward progress, which is very difficult
around here when we have so many things
happening all at the same time.
Okay guys, so we're still here.
We're in hour I think two of meetings,
but we've now switched from the overarching meetings
into more of the production stuff.
So we have Jenny.
Who's Jenny?
She's in charge of production, and now Russ.
Meet Russ, yes.
So if you don't know, Jenny right there in the pink,
she helps all the production stuff.
Getting the videos ready to film for all of our channels.
And now Russ, right here, is the editor,
the mastermind behind what you see on the screen.
So yes, before about a year and half ago,
Shaun and I were doing all of this ourselves,
which is why we were not eating,
or sleeping, or taking weekends, or vacations.
So, to maintain a little bit healthier work-life balance,
we've started adding to our team, and this is the crew.
Currently.
- Woop woop.
- Go team!
I have switched over to mom mode in the midst
of my meetings, and am working on my Meal Swap.
So, every week I work on Meal Swap.
I make three times a quantity of meal.
This week we're doing au gratin potatoes and ham.
And then, I meet with a couple other people
that live in my area and we swap the meals,
and then that helps us have food for the entire week,
which is really nice, and because you can
not only buy in bulk, but it's way more effective
on your time for cooking, and still gets my family
a relatively healthy dinner that's cooked at home
instead of just bought food from, like, fast food.
So the meals are all done, here they are.
All boxed up in their little packaging, ready to go.
I have a doctor's appointment I'm running
to with Brooklyn and Bailey.
They needed a well check up and a couple other shots
to apply to some colleges.
We get asked all the time if I have help,
because they are like, how do you do it,
mom, working mom, you have six kids.
The only thing that we actually I would say get help on
is that I do have some cleaning people that come in
twice a month and just do, like, deep cleaning for me.
Clean the showers and toilets, just so that I don't have
to see fuzz and goo and,
(disgusted vocalizing)
all the really nasty stuff that
I just never have time to get to.
So yeah, they were here this morning,
so I'm enjoying my nice, clean house.
Check these out.
These are sweats, Brooklyn and Bailey's sweats
and jogger pants from Majestics last year.
I think I might auction them off online,
or put 'em up for sale anyway,
and then donate all the proceeds
to Hurricane Harvey victims, 'cause I think
that would be nice and fun.
We were pulling stuff out of their closet this weekend
as we were cleaning through clothing
and found those, and I thought, maybe some
of you guys would like some of those.
So, comment down below if you think that's a good idea
and I should put some of the twins' clothes
that they're getting rid of or their Majestics outfits
online so that you guys can have a chance to buy 'em.
Look at who I just found.
Hello, girls.
- Hi.
- [Mom] Are you so excited for your immunizations?
- Yeah, Bailey's so excited.
- [Mom] Is Bailey gonna freak out this time?
You're not gonna claw the nurse this time, right?
- I didn't claw--
- She legit like clawed her last time.
- I did not claw her. - Yeah, she did. She freaked.
She's like, no!
Like sobbing. - I was pushing
the needle away there's a difference.
- Just don't think about it.
- [Mom] Now it's time for.
- Shots!
- [Mom] And we found out not only is there one, there are.
- Two.
- [Mom] Two.
- We are getting an optional one,
and Bailey's a little angry.
- [Mom] Well, it's not required, but it's not optional.
- It is optional.
- [Mom] And Bailey's super, super excited about it.
- She doesn't like shots in the first place.
She legit's giving me the death glare.
She's like, stop talking about it.
Just don't look at it, Bailey.
Bailey, just don't look at it, just don't look at it.
- [Mom] Don't think about it, look at the movie.
Pay attention to the movie.
- [Brooklyn] Watch the movie, don't--
- [Mom] Be tough.
Be tough.
(pained grunting)
Don't move, one more.
You're good.
Done.
- [Nurse] Wait, let me put a bandaid.
♫ It'd ever be this fine
♫ There couldn't be a better time
♫ All that I can see is sunshine
♫ Oh oh oh
- [Mom] Done.
How'd they feel?
- Just don't think about it.
It's just a little pinch.
- Yeah so, I'm home and we're about to have
a couple more phone calls.
We have a phone call about some merch stuff
and a phone call about tour, and while I'm doing that,
I'm gonna work on prepping dinner
so that I can feed the kids before they have
to run to all their various activities tonight,
and we have to start filming.
So yeah, we've got dinner all ready.
We have some salad, we have some juice,
we have our au gratin potatoes.
You can see that people have
already been helping themselves.
Yeah, we're kinda eating in shifts today
because everyone's in and out and in and out.
So, some of us got to eat dinner together,
but some of us did not, and yeah.
Moving on to the evening portion of the day
where we do night time routine
and start filming video for cam.
It's after dinner now, we've run some of our carpools,
we went to the store to get the laundry soap, right?
That we needed for the video.
- [Paisley] And I'm reading.
- [Mom] She's working on reading while I pack lunches.
So yeah, tomorrow we're gonna
have sugar snap peas with ranch, some Uncrustables
because we had 'em in the fridge and they needed to be used,
some beef jerky, some little organic frozen crisps of fruit,
and then I will throw in something else.
I need one more item, I haven't decided what yet,
and then the lunches will be all packed up.
- How 'bout apples?
- [Mom] We have apples in those.
- No, oranges.
- [Mom] Do you want another orange?
- Yeah.
- [Mom] Or do you want like, some pretzels,
or chips, or a peach, or a nectarine?
- I want chips.
- Chips?
So, maybe some chips, and Pais
and I should be about done reading.
She's reading to me while I'm workin' on that.
And then, what are we gonna do after that page?
I think it'll be about time for bed, don't you?
- No, I wanna watch, mom can we stay up?
- [Mom] No.
We've got Brooklyn in Daxton's cubby.
Her computer's having issues so she's workin' on his.
What are you working on?
- Math.
- She's working on college math.
- [Brooklyn] I hate math.
- [Mom] Bailey's upstairs working on math.
Okay, let's go finish our story.
How was your carpool?
- It was tiring.
- [Mom] And Daxton is now over here eating.
- My ice cream sandwich.
- Why are you eating an ice cream sandwich?
- 'Cause I'm too fat.
- No, 'cause you're too skinny.
And the doctor said you have to gain weight, huh?
- So you have to eat ice cream for ninner.
Well, after dinner.
- But can I have In-N-Out?
- You can have some In-N-Out sometime.
