- What's up everyone, we are back from Hawaii.
- Hawaii.
- Dave says it in two syllables.
- Hawaii.
- Huh, Huh, why. - I don't know if that's like
a accent, how I grew up.
Whatever it is, we are back from that place.
We hung out with our friends, The Bucket List Family.
Super fun.
I know a lot of you have been waiting for this,
but Claire also celebrated her seventh birthday
while we were in Hawaii.
- She has always been like this big time planner.
- She's your daughter. - She just has all of her lip,
she is my daughter!
So, she had a vision for how she wanted her birthday to go,
and she wrote it all out.
- [Dave] What is this list?
- It's a list of my birthdays.
- [Dave] Okay, let's hear what you got.
- Okay, I get to do whatever I want on my birthday
so I know this is gonna happen, all of it.
(Dave laughs)
Claire's birthday. Get shaved ice, swim in the big tub,
donuts for breakfast, play with Dorothy all day long,
mermaid cake, snorkel in the ocean, watch for some rainbows,
and play with Callie.
- [Dave] That is a good list.
I think we have another special
mermaid surprise instead. - [Ashley] Oh yeah,
There's, there's surprises.
- [Dave] 'Cause we couldn't have the mermaid cake,
we decided on--
- [Ashley] There's things you don't know about
- [Dave] Another mermaid surprise.
- Okay, tell me.
- [Ashley] Dorothy knows.
- This year she definitely had a birthday to remember.
We had mermaids, sea turtles, the beach.
And we're gonna show you all of that,
but real quick we wanna thank our sponsor for this video.
We wanna give another shout out to Hello Fresh.

the new-age way to do meal planning.
They are life changing.
- And Hello Fresh is the best of the best.
They have the most five-star recipes--
- Most five-star recipes of any meal kit.
- We have had so many of their meals now,
and every single time we eat one, we're like,
"oh my gosh this is so good."
- Okay I'm not just saying this, every one
of the meals that we've had has been like, super good.
- Like, it's kind of offensive a little bit
because I've been cooking for Dave for ten years.
- [Dave] I think you're an amazing cook.
- Ten years, and all of a sudden it's just like
he'll take a bite, he's like,
"Oh this is delicious".
I'm like...
- Last night we had
what was it called?
- It was truffled onions.
They were like caramelized truffled onion grilled cheese.
- Truffled onion grilled cheese.
- With potato wedges and lemony mixed greens.

a lot when I was a kid.
They also have different options for vegetarian.
- So Hello Fresh is just $5.66 per serving,
which is a really good deal,
and we believe time is money.
Right?
- Especially the time you save--
- That's what Dave always says to me.
- I always tell Ashley that.
Time is money, value your time.
- You don't go to the grocery store it comes to you.
You get it done, it's delicious.

- Garrett promised Claire that
if we came to Hawaii that she would
see Sea Turtles right in their backyard.
And man, the turtles did not disappoint.
Claire and I were kind of like in the middle
of the ocean and as Garrett pointed out in their videos--
- I wouldn't say you're in the middle of the ocean. (laughs)
- Okay we were on like the beach, but.
So Claire and I were out in the ocean
swimming around and she wanted to like,
go crazy like she wanted to go swim
and do all these cool things and
I was feeling a little bit nervous just because I don't,
the waves were hitting me in the face.
- And she's a new swimmer.
- And so at first I was like super nervous.
I always wanted to like hold onto her
and she kept like kicking my hand off like
get off, get away from me. (laughs)
(water gurgles)
And finally I just accepted the fact
that she was growing up.
She's a seven year old little girl.
- Ohhh
- And she can just like have fun
snorkeling by herself, so I let her go.

- And it was like so fun for me
to just like, let go and say like
my little girl is growing up and
we were just snorkeling, swimming
in an ocean together.
It was the coolest thing.
- And you know who loves turtles?
- I think turtles are like the coolest thing.
Maybe its because I loved Ninja Turtles
when I was a little boy.
- Is that why?
- I think sea turtles are so cool!
- We went to Hawaii years ago, just us,
you could see that (finger snap) video link.
All Dave wanted was to see a turtle.
- I hadn't seen a turtle, they're so cool!
- [Dave] You saw so many turtles.
- Yeah turtles came up to me and just swam
and I swam over them!
- [Dave] Do you miss it?
Did you hear them say Happy Birthday?
They came and whispered, "Happy birthday Claire."
- Yeah.
- Okay so then we did some gifts for Claire.
- Wow!
- [Carson] Claire, is that the bracelet making kit
you wanted?
- [Claire] Let's get this started.
- [Ashley] So turn it around and you can see
there's all these-- - We could do it together.
- [Ashley] Yeah I got it so you guys can,
you guys can make some bracelets
and necklaces together. - Whoa
- Let's get this party started!
- [Ashley] All those beads and you
can make anything you want. - Let's do this mom!
- [Ashley] That sound good?
- Let's do it! - [Ashley] Okay, let's do it.
Dave took the kids to an arcade
so they could go play games.
- Play some video games.
- Next stop on the birthday adventure.
We're going to...
- [All Kids In Unison] The arcade!
- the arcade.
(baby fussing)
- [Dave] I'm gonna beat you for sure.
- I'm gonna beat you!
Dorothy lets be on a team.
Me and Dorothy are on a team.

- [Claire] I do like it!
- [Dave] Carse, here you go, I'll hold this for you.
- I, I taste the hamburger.
- [Claire] Carson can't play with this, it's ages five.
- So for the last part of the day,
this was so cool, We decided to set up a
projector outside and watch a movie
right there on the grass, next to the ocean.
So we watched Moana, which is so cool
'cause we were like sitting right next to the ocean.
Probably twenty-five feet from the ocean.
Watching Moana and like this beautiful
Hawaiian weather, beautiful Hawaiian night.
- And you can hear the waves.
- The waves are coming in and like just
Our family, The Bucket List Family
we're just sitting there on blankets
eating pizza and watching a movie together.
It was so much fun. - So beautiful.
- It was like such a magical evening.

♪ The ocean call for you... and me ♪
(waves crashing)
(Waves crashing)
- Can I please go to bed
- (laughing)
Okay that is something that has never been said in the
history of Claire's life.
She said "Dad, can I go to bed?"
Can you please put me to bed?
I think that is a sign that
that is one very successful birthday.
Was that a fun birthday? (laughs)
So that was Claire's birthday.
Super fun Hawaiian birthday for that little girl.
She's seven years old now.
- How have we been parents for seven years?
- It's amazing that we have a seven year old.
That's crazy to me, but she's just...
- Do we look old enough to have a seven year old?
- Yeah, I mean... yeah for sure...
- Does he?
- I... (mumbles) - Do I? (laughs)
- You're like six years younger than me.
- I am not six years younger than you.
- Three and a half for those counting.
But, um, you know, just to finish
about my thoughts on Claire...
She is just the most, the sweetest little girl.
Such a joy to have in our lives.
I love her so much obviously!
- Don't
- I'm gonna get emotional too.
I just, that girl means the world to me and to you
and to see her kinda just blossom and
grow up into this beautiful, young girl and
still has all the things we love about her.
She's still just as kind and sweet as ever.
She still acts, her emotions are so grown-up for her age.
Her emotions have always been so
much older than she actually is
and it's just so fun to see how she's
turning into this little girl.
- I have to say real quick, so,
she came home, as a kindergartner,
they weren't allowed to bring home library books
and she's been looking forward to bringing
home a library book her entire schooling life
so far and she came off the bus, yesterday
and she was just lit up with excitement
and she said "We got bring home library books
today Mom, we're in first grade.
I got my first library book!"
and she runs in and she takes
out of her backpack
a dinosaur book and she brought it for Carlson.
- Oh, really
- Yes, and if that doesn't say like, that's Claire
- That is totally Claire right there.
- Just super, I super love that girl.
- Just love that girl so much.
We better turn this off, I rarely get
emotional and I feel it coming, so
That's it, that's Claire's birthday.
- Thanks for joining us. - We love you Claire.
Claire if you're watching this, years in the future,
we love you so much.
Happy Birthday little girl.
