- So this day has been a crazy whirlwind.
I started getting a little bit of sniffles,
Rylan's graduation is this weekend
in like three days, two days.
So we have all these grandparents coming in town.
So I told Shaun before I go around anybody,
I wanna do an at-home test, which tested
and my test popped positive, which,
you know it's an at-home test.
So I thought it was probably positive
but went in for a PCR test
at like seven o'clock this morning.
Kamri has also been having some sniffles,
so he took us both in there
tested the whole family, everyone else tested negative.
And my PCR test came back positive.
So I apparently have COVID. I feel okay.
I mean, I sound like I have a cold
and I feel like I have a cold, I feel okay.
My energy's actually really good.
The bummer is I'm gonna miss Rylan's graduation.
We're supposed to be moving our house this weekend
back to our old house that's now renovated.
We're having a party at our house on Saturday,
graduation on Saturday.
And I can do none of them.
I'm really sad actually.
But if I sit and think about it too long,
I'm just gonna cry.
So I'm not gonna think about it. There's nothing I can do.
And there's lots
of worse things happening right now in the world.
So we're just making the best of it.
So Kamri and I have since been quarantined
in the Airbnb and everyone else is at the new,
or, not the new house, but the old house that's renovated.
This is the weirdest day ever.
So now I'm just like frantically texting
and like shopping and everything online
and sending a thousand text messages
to my poor family telling them exactly
what to do and how to do things
because I can't be there to do them myself
and the grandmas are over helping unpack the house.
We need trophies for grandmas and Rylan today,
'cause she's over there doing it too.
When we found out I was COVID positive, we got lucky
because the other house was just getting finished.
So Shaun took all the kids,
except me and Kamri who were positive
and moved them over to the other house.
Pretty much, we've been quarantined
in the house by ourselves.
And as we've been going over there to sit
in the yard and talk to them from
outside or things like that, we've been slowly taking loads.
So today I'm off quarantine for the first time.
Just have to wear a mask when I'm around people
for the next couple days.
But we have all this stuff still in the house.
Today, we are packing up the rest
of it and officially busting outta here.
So the process of just rolling and packing things up
- This weekend's gonna be nuts, but I mean
I swear you probably hear me say that all the time.
- [Man] Pretty much every weekend.
- It's just accurate.
Tomorrow, Rylan graduates from high school, which is insane.
Cannot believe that.
But that does mean a bunch of graduate activities
are happening today, tomorrow, this whole weekend.
Today, specifically what they do
for the high school is they have all the seniors walk out
of the high school for the last time
in like one big parade in line basically.
And all the families go celebrate their last time
walking outta the school.
So that's where we're headed right now.
And before that even happens, Brooklyn and I
and Dakota and Asa are going to decorate Rylan's car.
We're gonna deck it out with a bunch of graduate
stuff just for fun so she feels special.
So I will be showing you guys all of that.
Oh my gosh. The funniest thing ever, y'all.
So we're supposed to decorate Rylan's car.
Rylan didn't show up till right now.
And we've all been wandering the parking lot
for like 30 minutes trying to find her car.
She apparently accidentally slept in. She just got here.
So now we're trying to like rush, decorate her car,
write some cute messages on the windows
and get it done before it happens.
Okay. So we just got the hat on
and some cute little window things. Dripping.
- So here's the sicky car.
So we all got up this morning.
I had begged and pleaded
with the twins to play me and decorate her car.
We drive all over the parking lot.
The girls are calling me frustrated.
No one can find her car. Guess where her car was.
- Yeah. She slept in.
And so her car wasn't here.
- So we obviously can't help decorate.
So we're just watching them do it sadly.
And they're decorating her car.
This is very anti-climatic at this point
- [Bailey] Here is the final look at the car
- [Woman] We have a red bin for one of these things.
(upbeat music)
- Okay? So while the rest
of the family is decorating Rylan's car
because she slept in on mandatory graduation rehearsal,
I'm holding a spot here for the senior walkout.
Senior walkout is, well, at the beginning of the year,
all high school seniors,
they walk in together kind of celebratory,
and at the end of the year, they walk out together.
Rylan did not get to do that
because she came in as a junior, decided to graduate early,
and is now walking out as a senior.
So we'll give you a little bit of sight of that.
A few more minutes.
(cheering)
(upbeat music)
- [Mindy] There she is.
(cheering)
- [Shaun] Look Rylan, there's a decorated car.
Do you hope your car is decorated like that?
When we decorate cars, we go all out. Thank you, Jenny.
(indistinct)
- Okay. So it is the night before graduation.
I'm in my pajamas.
I'm about to go play games with my sisters
but we just finished steaming my outfit for tomorrow.
Here's my graduation cap.
My cords, my stole for student council.
And then this is NHS and here's my gown.
And then from the back side here is my dress
that I'm gonna be wearing.
We have some of the decorations up for the party tomorrow
and the countertop is full of things for tomorrow.
It's been crazy.
(upbeat music)
- Okay guys, I just got up this morning. Graduation.
I have huge bags under my eyes.
So I'm gonna do my makeup and I'm kind of nervous.
It's probably seven in the morning right now.
I have to get ready. So.
- Good morning, everyone.
It is Saturday morning and Rylan graduates in a few hours.
I don't know, but this one's really sad for me.
Rylan's been a lot of fun to have around this year.
She's got one of the most fun personalities
and sense of humor.
And it's gonna be hard to lose that around here.
I mean, it's our fourth graduation you think we'd be used
to this by now, but like, I feel really emotional.
I'm still a few hours away from that.
You know, she looks beautiful.
She's excited. She's more than ready. Ever.
I think more than our other kids to go to college.
So I'm really excited for her and sad for me
but I'm excited for what she has coming as she goes
to college and the next stages of her life as well.
So wish me luck today.
All right. Got you a graduation lei. Orchids.
- That's pretty.
- Careful with it.
Put it on when you get there.
- It's cold.
- Yeah, it's cold.
And they wilt pretty quickly,
but orchids are really hard to find right now
in the pandemic.
One of the major growers of it went out of business.
So I hunted everywhere for this yesterday.
- Aw, how far'd you have to go?
- I'd been calling all week and finally found one.
So yes, there you go, all right
- I can't put it on yet.
- Bye, see you when we get there.
- I have to get ready in the parking garage.
(indistinct)
(upbeat music)
- So Kamri and I are here.
We just got done doing the balloons on the lights.
We had all these little ones.
And as soon as they hit the grass, it was like just
(imitates popping)
popping like crazy.
But I think it looks good. Turned out cute.
We obviously get the outside jobs.
So we're not infecting anybody.
Everyone else right now is at the graduation ceremony
which we are watching on livestream.
(upbeat music)
- [Announcer] Congratulations.
(cheering)

- [Shaun] Go Rylan!
(cheering)
(upbeat music)
- Congratulations. Gimme a hug. Yay.
- I have so much stuff in my hands.
(chatting)
- [Shaun] Are you down with this?
No, no.
- Nice.
Go.
Keep it modest.
Nice.
- [Mindy] What do you think?
- [Rylan] Oh my gosh.
- [Mindy] Of the sign?
- [Rylan] It is so cute.
- [Mindy] You like?
- [Rylan] The little grad hat is so cute.
- [Mindy] Yeah?
(upbeat music)
- Okay guys.
So we are getting ready for the pink themed party.
My grad party.
You can see, I showed these decorations last night
but we have a few more now.
We have these and then there's Asa. His pink shirt.
Bailey has a pink dress.
I have pink flowers on my dress
and they got these pink flowers.
And we're gonna put, what is it?
Wrapping paper on this to make it look all pink.
And then there's Brooklyn and Dakota over there.
(upbeat music)
Okay guys.
Well, good news, I actually did it. Here is my diploma.
She in there. One diploma to go.
Or, one down one to go.
Anyway, I just thought I'd show you that.
I actually got that in the mail today.
And I'm so excited.
I can't believe I actually pulled it off.
If I'm being honest
I didn't think that I was gonna be able to pull it off.
It was really close at the end, but I'm graduated
and now I'm on to college
and hopefully soon we'll figure out
what college I'm going to.
I'm so excited.
