This cheese is too salty for me Okay, well, we're all gonna eat and then we're gonna go to blue springs So I'll tell you about this fanny pack though He's got a monarch fanny pack and it was uptied to the side down It's a one-of-a-kind There's no other ones like it custom made monarch butterfly. Who was it made by blue was manufactured by uh Some elite brand probably some factory in china. I think dad probably picked it up at a thrift store And I believe did I put that on there? You probably added that I probably sewed that on It looks kind of familiar because dad probably wanted to be like non-threatening because it's actually meant to hold a pistol Mm. Do you have a gun in there to the hay in a park? You could velcro a holster in there Stop the robbers zip it back up stop the robbers But I just use this for for straight fashion well for fashion and My gopro camera my other camera Sometimes I might put some snacks in there It's your snack packs very stylish Uh people probably assume that I like Butterflies when I really don't you don't like butterflies, but you like manatees. Well, hello We are back or I should say I am back from blue springs my parents and brother went to will's fargo They need to set up an account And do some things some banking things that I don't need to be a part of which is kind of nice So I am here all alone So sad, um, but anyway, it is allowing me to get some work done I'm already on page six of a specific chapter in my manual. I have like all these chapters I think I'm on chapter five already. I don't know. It's just such a pain in the butt. Anyway, it's fine But like like legit like my fingers are cramping. It's bad. Anyway, um, but yeah So I actually just uploaded all the footage from my camera So I'm gonna be going through that in a little bit I was actually going to show my brother how to lay music over video He was kind of interested in like how I do that and I think tonight my brother is actually going to hook up The wi-fi situation and get that new wireless router going I just wanted to check in and I will Check in with you a little bit later.

He's just so much bigger now like I know even from there. He looks like a little baby. I know He's becoming such a big man Oh, it's so scary. It's growing up too fast. Anyway, and here's my holiday Picked my holiday letter Which coordinates with this and they always have to coordinate with yes So the theme this year was ugly Christmas sweater So let me show you some of the past ones. Oh gosh. Here we go Here we've got a pine tree And this was the first year that we were in florida. So it was a seashell and Florida And this was our last year in minnesota. So of course we had snow snow snow everywhere And you can see each year it coordinates the card and The paper it's a banner And believe it or not That wasn't interesting. That was an interesting year. That was an interesting fun fact. Hold on pull that thing up Okay, whoop whoop whoop I have ridden in an ass car before check that out in 2009 2009 Look at that did it in daytona. Yeah fun fact you guys you're learning way too much about me And this and this trilogy goes back to That was in 1983 Yeah, 1983 is when my mom in 1983 is when we started it So here's baby emily and mom Pregnant with my brother with the brother in there. My brother is right in there and that's me. Yeah Yep So each year I put the things in here. So This is a family history And the two children will have to fight over this when i'm dead and gone. So oh man Yeah, yeah, oh man one more thing to fight over. You can see how it coordinates every year I had a theme every year. Every year kind of I don't know about the tiger so But it was I enjoy doing this. I make cards. I love making cards. She's into it It's it's a great way to keep a family history Great way to keep a family history If you ever want a recommendation on that This is so anyone that has more than one child Maybe they should do two at the same time or however many children they plan on having, huh? Yes, that's probably you didn't really foreshadow that too much. No, it's okay though That is that is true. That's okay, but this is the family It was always it was difficult family christmas book and you can actually find this online Because emily phoned it for me. Okay, so if I can find it. I'll list it below for you guys It's kind of a cool little book. I think I ended up finding them on amazon But it's by Nancy sims taylor and illustrated by caron benia smith So if I can find this I'll put a link below for you guys, but it's a cool little Thing but basically it's just an empty page for each year and I believe it's about 25 Yeah, it wasn't like crazy 25 years. Yeah, and it wasn't like crazy expensive. It was like 25 30 dollars maybe at the most so I don't I'll link it below for you guys if I can find it But anyway fun facts But anyway, I am gonna keep working as the squash is baking because we have about an hour time frame at least Um, so that stuff gets like soft enough so we can like make a paste So yeah, but I will show you the progress and this pizza is either gonna be really good Or it's gonna really suck and then we're just gonna order pizza. How do I even start this story? Okay, so here's a new story. So a couple of years back my parents neighbors Over there made a glorious rum cake and my mom asked for the recipe And so they gave it to her and this whole trip we've been trying to find this said recipe for the rum cake And I could not find it. So I went on a Pinterest And found a rum cake recipe So I was like, okay, great and when we went to grocery shopping the other day We actually got all the ingredients and all that good stuff. Well, they just stopped by with their two cute little kids and Look what they gave us And it's delicious by the way and it's made with Puerto Rican rum So good Beats so good and my neighbor made it. He made it It's his recipe and he's gonna and text her the recipe And it's the best so if you're in our family, you probably will get some of this on the 24th Yep, maybe or the 25th Or the 20th So I think we might still attempt to make this cake Or if he texts my mom before this is better But just because we have all the ingredients But if he texts us this recipe, we might just have two because you know, why not look look at this. It's so good It's like Super It's hard to see but like it's like so It smells so good So good The aroma smell of vision. You can you smell it? Can you smell a vision? Can you smell a vision? If the squash if the squash pizza doesn't work out well tonight, we might be breaking into this. Yeah in ordering pizza Okay, well, I had to share that story because it's just so random and weird, but anyway I'm sure we'll be baking in another day in another vlog But we'll we'll give you updates as to the to the rum thing. Okay Um, but yeah, it was just really funny So but it's delicious and I can't wait to eat some of that Okay, so here is the random pizza concoction that my dad has requested It is pizza crust from a tube like the Pillsbury pizza crust And then we've got some mashed up squash as the base And then that has a little bit of butter and brown sugar And then we put some cheddar like a mixed cheddar cheese on there As well as ham and some black olives and on this section Is those frenches like those dried fried onion things Um, so I will let you know if this is any good. I think it's either gonna be really good or it's gonna be really gross So to be determined. So The pizza Not my favorite. This is what the inside looks like So it's just different I like black olives and I like ham and I like pizza dough And I like cheese. I also like squash But I don't really like it like this. I think that the ham Is overwhelming in this And I think if we maybe we should have gone ham burger Little piece of ham But you said ham. Yeah, I know I'm good I'm saying I think ham would mix is better than hamburger food But Some things just aren't meant to be together. We're going under your directions. Yeah, I get it So let me preface this with my dad gave my mom and I instructions to the store Got all the things that he said to get which we did With very very minimal instruction put it together And it's not what he wanted, but yet he keeps complaining about it, but then he keeps eating it So I don't know what's going on there. This is my piece of rum cake This is how much I ate of my pizza because it wasn't good But anyway, I'm gonna devour this now This is nice But that's what you have. That's what happens Be careful. Mm. It's extra rummy Oh Feels good. Yeah, I see You guys I'm going in the buy-off room, but not to do that. Okay But I'm gonna close out the vlog here. I am gonna get ready for bed But I'm actually brought some face masks stuff with me. So I'm gonna show you what I'm gonna do If I can get it out So I am gonna use my Clarisonic, but I'm also going to put this on my face. It's the Basha Luminizing black mask if I can find it. I'll link it down below either on amazon or Sephora or whatever I think I got this on Amazon. Oh, no, Sephora Um, so I am gonna do that and a little bit But I'm gonna wind down for the night and just put some PJs on and chill out. It's I want to say like 10 o'clock We tend to stay up kind of late here. So Anyway, the night is still kind of young. So anyway, um, I'll be probably going to bed about midnight But anyway, I am gonna let you guys go for now. Thank you so much for hanging out with me on the vlog today That is a wrap on day 21 and I will see you tomorrow Bye guys
