- [Child] Good job, blow 'em out.
00:09
- [Kendra] Good morning
friends, what day is it?
00:14
- [All] Dad's birthday.
00:16
- While he's gone playing racquetball
00:18
with his dad and his
brothers this morning,
00:19
we are going to get his presents ready
00:21
and some breakfast ready
00:23
and Janae's apparently
really excited about it.
00:23
- So it's my birthday today.
00:33
I'm really excited.
00:35
And I'm starting the
day playing racquetball
00:36
with my dad who just flew into town
00:37
(uptempo dance music)
00:43
- Two wins for me, it is my birthday
00:53
so they might be playing
easy, but it still feels good.
00:55
- [Kendra] It's card making time.
01:00
Laura, tell me about your card.
01:02
Look at all those L's.
01:04
Here's a picture of Laura and Daddy
01:05
and here's the boys.
01:08
Caleb, that is such a sweet note.
01:10
Isaac is Dad in all yellow?
01:12
Poor Janae is too little to color.
01:17
I think she's upset I won't
let her eat the markers.
01:18
I want to marry a guy that's like him.
01:21
- [Kendra] You want to marry
a guy that's like your dad?
01:23
I'm so glad you are in my family.
01:26
- [Kendra] Whoa, what is that?
01:30
- [Kendra] This is a dinosaur?
01:33
- [Kendra] It's very abstract.
01:35
- Your honey will love this one,
01:36
it's made out of stripes.
01:38
- [Kendra] Did you say my
honey will love that one?
01:39
- Yeah, cause it's yours to give to Dad.
01:41
- [Kendra] Oh that's so nice.
01:44
Thanks for making a card for my bag.
01:45
- How are you guys?
01:49
- [All] Happy birthday!
01:50
- She wanted to say hi to Daddy too.
01:53
- She crawled from way over there.
01:55
- [Kendra] How was your racquetball?
01:57
I won the first two games,
01:59
and then I lost the last one.
02:01
I wanted to sweep the whole day,
02:02
but I was worn out.
02:03
- For Jeremy's birthday
breakfast this morning,
02:05
we are having eggs, hash browns and bacon,
02:07
and fruit smoothies.
02:09
- [Kendra] We made a lot
of smoothie this morning.
02:16
How's the smoothie?
02:20
- [Kendra] Jeremy is the
master of cooking eggs.
02:22
- I'm no master, but it is yummy stuff.
02:24
Oh I got, oh!
- Ahh!
02:30
Can I get the yoke without cracking?
02:35
We'll get some paper towels.
02:41
- So this is a special breakfast for me.
02:43
I'd love to know in the comments
02:44
what a special breakfast is for you.
02:45
Another special breakfast is crepes.
02:48
I love Swedish pancakes, where you roll
02:51
it up with whipped cream
and strawberries and stuff.
02:52
That's really amazing as well.
02:55
- Jeremy got some work done this morning
02:57
and now he is out golfing with his dad
02:58
and his brothers, and
I'm so happy for him.
03:00
He never gets to do that kind of stuff.
03:02
And it's important to play and have fun.
03:04
I actually just read an article all about
03:05
the importance of play,
03:07
and not just in a kid's life
03:08
but in an adult's life too.
03:09
So Laura, what are we gonna make?
03:10
- We're gonna make the birthday cake.
03:11
- [Kendra] For Daddy?
03:14
- Yeah, and it's gonna
be with this and this.
03:15
- [Kendra] Okay, so we got some
03:18
of the ingredients right here.
03:19
What's the name of the kind of cake it is.
03:20
- [Kendra] Not chocolate,
it's called pistachio.
03:22
I don't like that name.
03:26
- [Kendra] You don't like that name?
03:28
- Let's name it yellow.
03:30
- [Kendra] Alright, so you
start with the cake mix.
03:32
Oil, add three eggs
03:36
and the secret ingredient
is a cup of Sprite.
03:39
Now we're gonna mix it up.
03:42
- It's mixing it up.
03:43
- [Kendra] It is mixing it up.
03:44
Now we're gonna put it in the oven.
03:45
(lively big band music)
03:47
There's the pistachio cake.
03:49
We just mixed up the frosting.
03:51
It's pistachio pudding,
Cool Whip and milk.
03:52
- I think you should
add a little more sugar.
03:56
- [Kendra] You think so?
03:59
Well while there's been
some birthday elements
04:09
of our day today, there's also been
04:10
a lot of normal regular life.
04:11
I'm doing laundry, the
kids did their chores,
04:13
they're jumping on the trampoline
04:15
and Laura and I are hanging out,
04:16
because Laura is feeling particularly
04:18
nervous about something.
04:20
Since the big storm that
we had just a couple
04:21
of days ago, she's not
wanting to go outside,
04:23
she's not even wanting
to be in different rooms
04:25
of the house than Jeremy and I.
04:27
She pretty much just
wants to hang right by us.
04:28
And we keep reassuring
her, our house is safe.
04:32
There's no storm today, it's sunshiney,
04:35
what can I do to help you feel better?
04:38
- Just a snack will help me.
04:39
- Just food will help me.
04:42
- Just a snack, huh?
04:43
(bright jazzy music)
04:44
That's about as close as it gets.
04:49
So we're out golfing with
my brothers and my dad,
04:55
perfect way to spend my birthday.
04:58
It's such a beautiful day today,
05:02
the clouds are incredible.
05:04
So I'm 35 years old.
05:13
This last year, so many
amazing things happened.
05:14
I had my fifth kid, Kendra and I have made
05:18
a lot of progress with our marriage.
05:20
which was really important.
05:22
We hit a million subscribers
with our channel,
05:25
we bought our house, we started
a law firm with my brother,
05:27
I just feel really blessed.
05:30
Well I guess the kids all disappeared,
05:32
I hate when that happens.
05:34
- Happy birthday Dad.
05:36
- Happy birthday!
- Hey hey.
05:37
- Wow!
- Happy birthday!
05:38
- It's time for Jeremy
to open his presents.
05:44
Each of the kids has a present for him.
05:46
- Did you draw me a card?
05:48
What did you write?
05:50
- I hope you hae a fun
time golfing and playing.
05:51
- Thanks, that's what that says.
05:57
Everybody, Janae and Mom and Dad
06:01
and Laura and Elise and Caleb
06:07
and Isaac love each other from Laura.
06:10
- She loves her L's and H's.
06:15
There's L's and H's.
06:18
how's my tie?
- What do you think?
06:33
Tell everybody that you have a new tie.
06:35
- I have a new tie.
06:38
Whoa, tis one's in a big bag.
06:41
This one's kinda heavy too.
06:43
Do you want to help me?
06:45
Alright, let's see.
06:46
I have wanted to play this
with my kids my whole life.
06:51
- Happy birthday Dad.
06:58
I'm so glad you are in my family.
07:00
- And then a drawing of a snake.
07:06
- Where's the dinosaur?
07:09
- This one's super heavy.
07:11
Happy birthday Dad.
07:13
You picked good colors.
07:15
Dad I love you Dad.
07:23
- Your own root beer!
07:29
- Well I might need to
share it with somebody.
07:30
- Me me me.
- Yeah!
07:33
- I'm a big root beer
fan, there's no question,
07:36
Alright, let's see the card first.
07:39
From Isaac, Dad, happy birthday.
07:42
That's a really good drawing.
07:49
- No offense to Raiders fan.
- Isn't it impressive?
07:50
- Yeah, no offense to any other fans.
07:53
KC's the best, number one.
07:55
Alright, happy birthday Dad.
07:57
I hope you have a good and fun birthday.
07:58
Thank you for being my dad, I love you
08:03
and thank you for playing
08:05
and watching sports with me, love Isaac.
08:06
I love watching sports with you.
08:09
- I picked last, so, it's
kind of an interesting gift.
08:15
- This might be my favorite present.
08:19
Let's see what it is.
08:22
Socks!
(dramatic music)
08:25
I've been wanting socks!
08:29
- [Kendra] Last but not
least is Kendra's present.
08:33
- Kendra has never, almost never I think
08:36
kept a secret from me.
08:40
Or a present, have you ever done it?
08:42
- [Kendra] I can usually keep
a secret for like two minutes.
08:44
- That's about it.
- Maybe.
08:46
- So I have no idea what's coming.
08:47
I know you've worked on it a bit, so.
08:48
Kendra's been super cute about it though
08:50
with her qualifying, 'cause she's like
08:52
I know she's making something
08:54
but she keeps downplaying
it, like this is really dumb,
08:55
it's really not a big deal,
08:58
she's been really cute about it.
09:00
- It's just silly and simple.
09:01
- It's just silly and simple.
09:02
- [Kendra] It's just fun.
09:03
- I want Kendra next to me,
09:04
just in case this is like a prank
09:05
and it all is gonna blow up.
09:06
- Do you want me to help
you open it, like the kids?
09:07
I feel bubble wrap.
09:09
- Go to the side of the bubble wrap first.
09:11
- The side, is there
like more than one thing?
09:13
Okay, so, it's a mask.
09:16
- You might need it.
09:19
- Why would I need a mask?
09:21
You made something.
09:33
- You guys, it says smash me.
09:35
- Your presents inside of there.
09:37
- Okay, let's go, do
you want to go outside
09:41
and find your present?
09:42
(uptempo rock music)
09:46
That thing is tough.
09:53
- So this thing is more
solid than I expected,
09:54
I'm gonna need a not kid
hammer and not doing it
09:56
Should I get a chisel, so
I don't hurt the present?
10:00
- 'Cause look I can see
the present in here.
10:04
- [Jeremy] Don't hurt your hands.
10:07
- [Kendra] We decided
to let the kids all try.
10:08
- So I think I'm gonna
try to chisel it out,
10:14
so I don't damage what's inside.
10:15
- [Kendra] That thing's
like really in there.
10:25
- I'm gonna try to
actually hit it my hardest.
10:33
I haven't done that yet,
10:34
so let's see how it goes.
10:35
(yelling and laughing)
10:40
So here's where we're at.
10:44
- To finish this off, I
needed a solid foundation.
10:45
There we go.
- Woo hoo!
10:49
It's to go to to a movie.
10:52
- We never go to movies and I love movies
10:55
and it might even still work.
10:57
- [Kendra] Happy birthday.
10:59
- Thank you so much.
11:00
So I've had several members
of my family and friends
11:02
say that they hope I have
a good sunset tonight
11:04
- 'Cause they know how much you love them.
11:07
- Yeah, isn't that thoughtful?
11:08
It is a good sunset.
11:10
- It's beautiful out here.
11:11
- [Jeremy] So the kids are at gymnastics.
11:12
- They are, it's gymnastics night.
11:13
So today has been such a
great day in some moments,
11:16
and so darn annoying in other moments.
11:19
You I think when the
kids get really excited
11:22
about a special day,
11:24
it's really hard for them
to behave appropriately,
11:26
abd so we've been dealing
with discipline issues.
11:28
That's just real life,
it's just real life,
11:31
like I feel like this moment doesn't fit
11:32
in this beautiful vlog,
11:35
because we've got all
these wonderful memories
11:36
and all these happy things happening,
11:39
and then you turn around
11:40
and somebody's hitting their sibling
11:41
and somebody else is
whining about something
11:43
and that's just real life.
11:45
So we had some other things,
11:47
we had hoped to go out to a restaurant
11:48
with the family tonight
11:50
and the kids just weren't
behaving well enough for that.
11:50
So instead we stayed
home and had hot dogs.
11:53
Do you want to go home and
have cake and ice cream?
12:16
- [Kendra] Here's our
version of 35 candles.
12:18
♫ Happy birthday dear
12:21
♫ Happy birthday to you
12:27
- [Kendra] Go for it.
12:41
- I didn't spit, I didn't spit.
12:47
- [Kendra] Alright, who
wants cake and ice cream?
12:49
- So one of my favorite parts of this cake
12:52
is the frosting isn't the normal
rich buttercream frosting,
12:54
it's like a light whipped
pistachio amazingness.
12:57
The kids have prepared
an interpretive dance
13:04
to celebrate my birthday.
13:06
- [Narrator] Jeremy, a man of good deeds
13:08
who cares and loves.
13:13
Today it's his birthday.
13:17
Jeremy loves to sing and dance.
13:26
And today he's turning 35.
13:34
- [Jeremy] 25, I would've gone for that.
13:39
- [Narrator] That's a lot.
13:41
Happy birthday Jeremy.
13:45
- Yay!
- Happy birthday!
13:48
- [Caleb] Goodnight, J House out.
13:52
- [Kendra] New pajamas.
13:54
- We thought it might
help her for her audition,
13:57
to practice in front of all of you.
13:58
- [Kendra] There he goes.
14:00
- We're playing copy Janae.
14:04
