(joyful upbeat music)
(cheery music)
- Good morning everyone!
- [Children] Good morning everyone!
(children joyful cheering)
- Want a tour of our new house?
- Yeah.
- Oh, you do?
- [Duncan] I do.
- You do? - [Duncan] Yeah!
- I thought you wanted to give a tour.
- [Duncan] Oh yeah, I wanna give a tour!
Let's give you guys a tour of our new house.
Come, come on in.
I guess I gotta bring you in, come on in.
(cheery music)
- Today, I'm gonna do a tour of the whole entire house.
(yelling)
- [Chris] What, what, what?
- There's a ginormous couch!
- [Chris] There is a ginormous couch.
We've got this entertainment console here.
- [Parker] We're gonna watch a movie today!
- [Chris] You are?
- Yeah, I think it's gonna be maybe Zootopia
or something else.
(indistinct)
- [Chris] No, you disagree?
- Yeah.
- [Chris] So this is sort of like the living room.
Would you call this the living room?
- Yeah. There's basically two living rooms.
And if you go this way, you can see this table.
This is our dining room table
even though it only has five chairs.
(cheery music)
- [Chris] You set up a work station over there Jake?
- Yeah.
I would like to show you my super awesome station here.
So here is where I do all my 3D rendering.
I really like this painting
because it reminds me of Santa Barbara.
- And over here is the fireplace living room.
This is a fold out couch, but we don't use it.
So it's just like...
(snoring noise)
And then this is a small little table for games.
And then there's two different chairs.
- [Chris] Yeah. We're keeping all our games
in this thing right here.
And sorry to backtrack, but over here last night,
we set up an epic board game on this nice big table.
This is a great table for a really big nerd game.
So if you have a really big nerd game,
that's the kind of table you want.
- This is the cake. Cake, yeah.
- [Parker] Fireplace. Sometimes I do this for kids,
I don't normally use.
(Excited cheering)
(cheery music)
- This is like my favorite part
of the whole entire house, because it's the kitchen.
I like food.
- I think, I think I want this type of sink! And...
- [Chris] You want that type of sink?
- Yes. It's very cool. Like watch, watch.
This is like, and then watch, doesn't do it that much. Cool.
- For anyone watching this that doesn't know the backstory,
here we are in this house
because our house that we own,
(Luke's indistinct noises)
- Thank you. Got flooded from our washing machine.
(Luke's indistinct noises)
- And so the insurance company
helped us find this place while they are tearing up floors
and walls letting things dry.
And then, our house has to get put back together.
And when we get it put back together,
we're not sure what the extent of it is.
But we are looking at stuff here and going like,
hmm, would this work in our new house?
Like, would we like this or that?
And so Parker really likes the sink here.
That's one thing that he's like.
If we have to get a new sink,
this is the kind of sink I wanna get.
You did a cooking class in here last night right?
- Oh yeah. But I didn't put the thing on.
- [Chris] How did it go?
- Oh, it was great. These are what I made.
They're banana muffins. Very good.
So this is coffee for dad.
- [Chris] Yeah. We have our own little coffee
and tea nook right here.
- Yeah. And also, baa baa! And this is a refrigerator.
We have milk. Always good to have one handy.
Cheerios! Milk.
Okay! Going to, here.
(light switch clicking)
So this is the bathroom. Then we have this.
Ooh! What's nice bathroom!
(excited indistinct noises)
It has a shower.
It's pretty big.
And then there is...
(harmonious singing)
This is the laundry room slash garage.
Ooh, there's also a hidden bathroom. Tada!
Once, we were playing hide and seek
and Bailey hid right there.
- [Chris] Oh, under the sink, Bailey hid under the sink?
- Yeah. It was very cramped.
She was reading her book. It was really funny.
- I like to do laundry because,
no, not the whole entire laundry,
just the dry laundries.
'Cause it's just my size.
- [Chris] It's just your size? - Yeah.
See, just my size.
- [Chris] Just your size?
- This is where Rue eats her food
but she's outside playing right now.
Come to my room!
One, two, three, my room.
(cheery music)
- [Chris] Is this a good room?
- [Parker] Yes. Let's sleep here tonight!
- [Chris] The bed.
- This is where Duncan slept a few days ago.
And then this is my bed
which I can also see the horsies, the falls.
- And I should mention that the kids
did pick out rooms when we started moving in here.
And since then, they have been migrating from room to room.
So they haven't really been sleeping
in the same rooms that they started out in.
They've been shuffling a lot just on their own.
We kind of let them sleep in whatever room they want to.
So one night they all slept all in the same room
which was kind of funny.
We have enough rooms for them all to have their own room.
They all were like, we're gonna sleep in the same room.
And they put a bunch of blankets
on the floor and like slept in the same room.
Last night, I think, who slept in your room last night?
- No one.
Me, Duncan and Bailey slept in Bailey's room
and Jacob slept in his room.
- [Chris] So no one slept in this room last night?
- No. But the night before that,
me and Duncan slept in here.
And this is a giant rocket ship that I made.
- [Chris] That is cool.
Did that come with instructions as a kit?
- No.
- [Chris] You invented this all by yourself?
- Me and Jacob did it.
- [Chris] That's so cool.
- But I basically did it with myself.
- [Chris] Is that an escape pod?
- Yes.
- [Chris] Very cool.
Every rocket ship should have an escape pod.
- That is true.
- [Chris] That's what I said.
- Next room please.
It was nice sleeping in Bailey's room last night
because it was only a door away.
So this is Bailey's room.
(cheery music)
I slept in this bed last night
and Duncan slept in that bed.
And the whole thing, and then mom thing.
Mom thing?
(Parker laughing)
I am shuffling with words right now.
This is Kathy's bed. She's always slept here.
- [Chris] This room's very similar to the other room.
Two beds next to each other, closet over there.
Some lamps.
Can you show us your room?
- Yeah!
- [Chris] Where's your room?
- You're so excited?
(children excitedly cheering)
- [Chris] Whoa! Let's turn on the light
so we can see it better.
(cheery music)
There's your window?
- Yeah.
- [Chris] Do you like looking out the window?
- Look, there!
- [Chris] Is that our car?
(high pitched excited cheering)
Oh, are there horses over there?
- Yeah.
(dog noises)
- [Chris] Oh, you heard a dog?
- Yeah.
- [Chris] Is this your bed? This is where you sleep.
And then you also got this bed.
Is that where we read our stories?
We usually do story time in the bed
before he goes down for nap or bed.
And then he sleeps in the pack and play.
And that's been working out really nice.
He's the only kid that has his own room
and has always slept in his own room.
- And there's a planter and there's pictures and bathroom.
This is in here and there's a bath shower thing.
And bed.
(excited indistinct noises)
(cheery music)
- This is Jacob and Duncan's room.
Sorry, I'm fixing the Rubik's cube
that Jacob made.
I made. But I'm fixing it.
So, this is their beds. This is Jacob's bed. Jacob's bed.
That one's Duncan's.
- My favorite painting is that one.
'Cause it's outside and outside is very pretty.
- Pictures! Pictures!
And then there's this room which no one chooses.
So of course it's Dad's guitars' room.
(cheery music)
- [Chris] I couldn't do it.
I couldn't put all of my guitars in storage.
So I brought them here and no one's using this room.
So I like to have the guitars out
so that I can play 'em whenever I want.
And so they're kind of laid out like this.
If someone wants this room,
I'll put all the guitars in the closet.
But I have several guitars in here.
(guitar strumming)
What's in there?
- [Parker] Wait, so one, two, three.
- [Chris] Guitar?
So this house came very furnished.
It had all the furniture in it.
There were some books on the shelves.
It had decorations everywhere.
Nice pictures on the wall.
Some of the decorations though, we were worried
we were going to knock them over
or we couldn't see past them.
Like at the dinner table, there were some big like,
vases with flowers and so on.
And so what we ended up doing is there was this cabinet here
and we put a lot of the decorations in here.
So this is our decoration museum
- Tree, this tree. This thing?
- [Chris] This was on the kitchen island
which it's cute and everything
and you can like draw probably with chalk
like what what's on the menu for the day
but we needed the space to do homeschool and stuff.
So we ended up...
This is the museum.
We'll put all this stuff back before we leave,
but for now, we get to walk past it
as we go into the bedroom.
So here is Jessica and my bedroom.
(cheery music)
It's a little messy right now.
We're putting some laundry away and such
but it came with these two chairs.
We ended up bringing our chair from home because it rocks,
and we need that for Teddy.
We brought in the swing for Teddy.
- We brought in the cradle.
- [Chris] Yes, the bassinet is here.
It has two closets, one here, one here, large bed.
This ended up working out really nicely as a changing table.
So usually that changing pad is set down
and we change Teddy on it.
Oh, and a play mat.
We got a little play mat right there.
- And this is one of my main
favorite parts of the whole entire house.
(excited high pitched cheering)
- [Chris] Yeah, it has a very large walk in shower.
- It even comes with this thing.
Also, come over here.
This door leads you outside and we'll show you that.
Tada! Here, it's a backyard.
- [Chris] Go get it!
There's lots of citrus trees, an oak tree
and the kids have been collecting the acorns.
What do you think Rue?
Smelling 'em. They smell good? Good ones.
It has this really nice covered porch out here, patio area.
So there's like a table out here.
We can have dinner or lunch out here.
Or morning coffee and tea, which Jessica and I have done
and it's very nice.
There's some other more loungey chairs there.
And even more loungey chairs back there.
And then over here, is a built-in barbecue
with a working sink.
I haven't really explored this yet.
I would like to try it out and see how it is.
And this whole backyard area is fenced in
but the property doesn't end there.
So there's a lot of areas for us to go and explore as well.
So that's the house there.
And then all this area here down into here
there's like a fence right here.
That's the edge of the property.
So it goes all the way along here, down this hill.
And just look at this view. How beautiful it is here.
It's been really windy, the days that we've been here
I'm not sure if it's typically windy, just because
of where it is or if that's just the weather right now.
But it's so nice out.
Like, it's just like perfect weather and beautiful farmland.
So this is all covered farmland here.
This is a nursery right here.
They've got a whole bunch of different kinds of trees.
The property ends right here down
at the bottom of the hill right here.
So all those like palm trees there,
that's not part of the property.
It ends down there at the end of the hill
but you could see how by how small Parker is
how big this area is.
So it's gonna be really cool for the kids to like run around
and explore and go on hikes,
and for Rue to like sniff around.
The property is shared with some other tenants,
but we have our own little like, private area here
at the house, our own little private yard, which is awesome.
And the neighborhood here is really cool.
One of the neighbors you might of heard Parker talking
about this, they have horses and they're super nice
and they let Bailey hang out with the horses.
And help out around their horse stalls.
So the reason Bailey isn't here right now
is she's over there helping them
and learning about horses and she is loving it.
- So I got to go spend some time with the horses
at our neighbor's house.
And it's really, really amazing.
They let me sweep right around their stalls
and I got to pet them.
And it was amazing.
I think they have nine horses, but that includes the horses.
There are two horses that are pregnant right now.
So they have two baby horses.
So that's seven plus two, nine.
- So this is the house we'll be living in
for the next couple months.
We did get the internet to work.
We had to call up the internet company
and we managed to get the router working.
So we do have internet here, which is great.
It means we don't have to go back to the other house
and like sit in the backyard to upload videos or zoom calls.
And we don't know how long we're gonna be here.
We don't know how long it's gonna take
to get our other house back to livable conditions.
But hopefully, everything moves smoothly
and we're gonna be very happy here
and very excited to explore it
and to share our adventures with you.
So thanks so much for watching today,
and we'll see you next time.
