- 4am -
Mitch is currently awake right now because he has to pee for the third time tonight. Baby Joel loves to kick and lay on Mitch's bladder so Mitch has been peeing like crazy lately, especially during the night.

Mitch has been counting down the weeks until Joel is born! Mitch only has a few more weeks to go! Mitch and Scott are very excited to have their baby boy here!

Also, today is officially the first day of summer vacation for the Grassi-Hoying kids! Mitch and Scott are very excited to have a fun filled summer with all of the kids!

Mitch goes to bathroom and instantly feels better. Mitch washes his hands and he begins to feel Joel happily kicking and moving around in his belly.

"Good morning, Joel. It is too early to be awake, baby boy." Mitch says in a whisper to his baby bump as he pats it happily.

"ASSHOLE!" Liam yells from his bedroom, causing Mitch to be startled and somewhat concerned.

Then Mitch begins to wonder why Liam is STILL awake and is not sleeping like his siblings!

Mitch walks over to Liam's bedroom and listens in on what Liam is Doug.

"Bro! Bruh! There is was a dude right there in the corner! OH SHOOT! SHOOT! I'm going to save you! Hold up! BROOOOOO! NOOO!" Liam says as he giggles loudly.

Mitch then opens up Liam's bedroom door and sees Liam sitting in his bed with a bag of Hot Cheetos and a bag of Funyuns.

"Liam Richard! What are you doing awake?" Mitch asks Liam in utter confusion.

"I have just been playing Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto with Steele, Shaydon and Caspian, Dad. What are you doing up?" Liam says as he yawns and drinks a sip of water.

"Your baby brother is making me pee one hundred times a night. And what are you doing up? You need to go to bed. You are going to wake up super late and ruin your whole sleep cycle this summer, Liam. Tell Steele, Shaydon and Caspian goodnight." Mitch says to Liam, making Liam slightly annoyed

"Ugh, fine. I'll go to bed." Liam says as he yawns again.

"Okay, I'll see you in the morning, Liam. Sleep well. Goodnight." Mitch says to Liam as he leaves Liam's bedroom.

"Goodnight, Dad." Liam says as he turns his game off and lays down in bed.

"Goodnight Liam. Sleep well." Mitch says as he shuts Liam's bedroom door.

Liam and Mitch both go to bed and sleep for a few hours!

- 6am -
Scott is awoken up by Lucy and Daisy barking at him. Lucy and Daisy are always early birds and have to go outside early every single day.

"Okay, Lucy. Okay, Daisy. Let's go potty. Let's go!" Scott says in a whisper as Lucy and Daisy both run downstairs happily.

Scott makes his side of the bed and tucks Mitch back in. Scott then tenderly kisses Mitch's cheek and leaves the master bedroom.

"Woof! Woof!" Daisy says as she jumps around happily.

"Woof!" Lucy says twirling around as she looks at Scott.

"Daisy! Lucy! Shhh!" Scott says to Daisy and Lucy as he takes them outside to go to the bathroom.

Scott plays with Daisy and Lucy for a little bit before bringing them back inside.

- 8am -
Mitch is now awake for the day even though he wanted to sleep in for another hour or so. But that's not possible when you have little ones!

Sophia, Hudson, Sawyer, Isabella and Amelia are all awake too!

Scott, Hudson, Sophia, Isabella and Sawyer are already downstairs and are hanging out together!

Mitch is still upstairs relaxing and is waiting for Amelia to wake up.

A few minutes later, Amelia walks into Scott and Mitch's bedroom and is upset.

"Good morning, Amelia!" Mitch says with a big cheeky smile at his youngest daughter.

"Daddy I'm wet." Amelia says softly to Mitch in slight embarrassment.

"Your wet? Did you have an accident in your bed?" Mitch asks Amelia softly.

"Uh huh. Oopsies, Daddy." Amelia says with a big frown.

"Aww. It's okay, baby. It is just an accident. You may have drank too much water last night before bed. It's okay." Mitch says as he kisses Amelia's cheeks tenderly.

"Let's clean you up and your bed and then we can go downstairs to see Papa, Huddy, Soph, Issy and Sawyer." Mitch says to Amelia.

"Otay, Daddy! Snack?" Amelia asks Mitch.

"You can have a banana or an apple as a snack. Which one, baby?" Mitch asks Amelia.

"A nana nana!" Amelia says to Mitch with a grin.

"Okay! Let's get you all cleaned up and then you can have a banana." Mitch says to Amelia.

"Yay!" Amelia says, jumping up and down in excitement.

Mitch cleans up Amelia's bed sheets and changes Amelia's pajamas before they both go downstairs to join Scott, Hudson, Sophia, Isabella and Sawyer!

- 10am -
Scott, Mitch, Hudson, Sophia, Isabella, Sawyer and Amelia are all eating breakfast together! Liam is still fast asleep in his bedroom upstairs.

Mitch just made the kids pancakes bites for breakfast which are one of the kids FAVORITE breakfast foods to eat!

*Pancake bites*

"These are so good, Daddy! Thank you!" Hudson says to Mitch happily.

"Thank you, Daddy!" Sophia and Isabella say in unison to Mitch.

"Mmmm!" Sawyer and Amelia say in unison with big smiles at Mitch. 

"These are really good, Mitchy. Thank you, baby." Scott says to Mitch.

"You're welcome! Eat up, guys! I am going to save some pancake bites for Liam for when he wakes up." Mitch says, putting six pancake bites on a plate for Liam.

Scott, Mitch, Hudson, Sophia, Isabella, Sawyer and Amelia enjoy their breakfast together!

- 12pm -
Mitch is trying to get Hudson, Sophia, Isabella, Sawyer and Amelia set up on a painting activity but he is kinda failing at it because he can't find the paint.

Luckily after a few minutes, Mitch finds the paint and Hudson, Sophia, Isabella, Sawyer and Amelia all get started on a fun painting activity!

Liam walks down the steps slowly. Liam is still half asleep and is still tired but he doesn't wanna sleep any longer and be up all night again.

"Finally! Good afternoon, sleepy! I was just about to go upstairs and check on you! Are you okay, Liam?" Scott asks Liam.

"Yeah I'm fine, Papa. I'm just tired." Liam says to Scott as he stretches his arms and fixes his bed hair.

"What time did you go to bed last night?" Scott asks Liam curiously as Liam begins to eat his breakfast.

"Like four am." Liam says as he takes a few sips of milk.

"Four am? Why so late, Liam?" Scott asks Liam.

"I was gaming with Caspian, Shaydon and Steele. We were winning a lot and it was a lot of fun." Liam says as yawns again.

"Oh lord." Scott says as Liam giggles and smiles.

"Yeah, Dad made me go to bed after he saw me gaming." Liam says as he checks his iPhone.

Mitch walks over and sees Scott and Liam together, making him smile.

"Good afternoon, sleepyhead! Did you sleep good?" Mitch asks Liam as he hugs Liam.

"Good afternoon, Dad. And yeah I slept good but I am still tired though." Liam says as he yawns.

"Yeah, it is because you went to bed late last night. Is breakfast good?" Mitch asks Liam.

"Yes, breakfast is really good. Thank you, Dad." Liam says to Mitch.

"You're welcome! Eat up. And shhh, don't tell your siblings that we are going to go out to eat pizza later." Mitch says in a whisper so Hudson, Sophia, Isabella, Sawyer and Amelia don't hear him.

"Ooo, are we going to Pizzanistas?" Liam asks Mitch in excitement.

Pizzanistas is Liam's favorite pizza place and he goes there with his friends a lot!

"If they aren't crowded we are. Daddy doesn't feel like cooking tonight." Scott says playfully to Liam and Mitch.

"Yes, I don't feel like cooking, but we are celebrating the first day of summer. Might as well start off with having a fun night out as a family." Mitch says to Liam and Scott.

"Yes! I LOVEEE Pizzanistas. It is my favorite place." Liam says to Mitch and Scott.

"I have been craving pizza like crazy lately so that is why we are going there too." Mitch says as he smiles at Liam.

"Well, I gotta take a shower and get ready then." Liam says as he puts his plate in the dish washer and throws his trash away.

"Okay! Don't hog up the bathroom! Hudson and Sawyer will need to use the bathroom too." Scott says to Liam.

"I won't." Liam says as he begins to jam his music as he goes upstairs.

Liam takes a shower while Hudson, Sophia, Isabella, Sawyer and Amelia continue to paint their pictures!

- 1pm -
Mitch is sitting down on the couch and Wyatt, Ollie, Daisy and Lucy are all sitting next to him and are cuddling with him.

"Meow." Wyatt says as Mitch rubs his head, making him happily purr.

Ollie then curls up on the top of Mitch's baby bump and Mitch rubs his head, making him happily purr.

Lucy begins to lick Mitch's leg, making Mitch chuckle.

"Lucy loves to lick lotion off of people for some reason. Lucy, that's enough. That's enough. I don't want you to get sick, princess." Mitch says to Lucy as he pets her head.

Daisy yawns loudly, making Mitch giggle.

"Somebody is getting sleepy! Aren't you, Daisy? You are a sleepy girl!" Mitch says, rubbing Daisy's belly making her kick her legs happily.

Mitch then looks at his vlogging camera and smiles at the camera.

"Hi, guys! I finally have some time to relax for a while. My back has been hurting me some so I am just relaxing on the couch and enjoying the nice air condition! It is SO hot out today and kinda humid! Hot weather and being pregnant really SUCKS! I hate it but I only have a few more weeks of being pregnant left, so I will survive." Mitch says as he giggles and fixes his hair.

"Scott has the older five kids outside playing and Amelia is upstairs taking her afternoon nap. Amelia was tired! I think she is going through a growth spurt. And while I have been relaxing on the couch, I have been busy filling out paperwork for the kids fall activities! I do not play around, I fill the paper work when I first get it. I don't want my kids to miss out because I didn't fill out the paper work in time." Mitch says as Ollie happily purrs.

"You feel baby Joel moving around in my belly, Ollie? Aww! Joel loves you, Ollie!" Mitch says to Ollie as Ollie continues to purr.

"Liam has to try out for the sports he likes to play because he is apart of his school sport teams. Liam's soccer team try outs are not until mid August. But lacrosse and flag football try outs are not until November and January, I think. Liam plays soccer in the fall, flag football in the winter and lacrosse in the spring. He absolutely loves sports and he is passionate about playing them." Mitch says as Ollie licks Mitch's cheek, making Mitch laugh.

"Sawyer wants to play t-ball again, so we will sign him up for that. He really liked it last season. I think Sawyer is going to be like Liam and like sports, which is totally fine. At the end of the day, Scott and I want our kids to do things they love and enjoy. We support our kids no matter what!" Mitch says as Lucy sneezes.

"Bless you, Lucy! Papa didn't give you your allergy medicine, huh? I'll give it to you in a few minutes. Poor Lucy has bad allergies during the spring and summer time!" Mitch says rubbing Lucy's back.

"Sophia loves dance but she also loves to perform in school plays! So I am not sure what she will decide to do this fall! She can do both if she wants to, but she has not let Scott or I know yet. Amelia really wants to do dance again so we are going to sign her up and do that. Isabella has been interested in doing gymnastics but she likes to dance like her sisters so she will have to let Scott and I know what she wants to do." Mitch says as Wyatt purrs loudly.

"Scott and I really like to have all of the kids in an activity so they are not just sitting at home all of the time. This summer we are going to do a lot of fun things but it is going to be laid back from last summer due to me being near the end of my pregnancy. I can't travel out of the state anymore and Joel can basically come any time he wants. My doctor wants me to make it to thirty seven weeks which is full term but my doctor said he will probably come earlier then my scheduled c-section. Joel will be born around the time when the kids start the new school year, which is going to be very hard, but my parents and Scott's parents are going to stay with us for a few weeks to help out. We have the greatest parents ever. Well, I'm going to end my rambling here and I think I'm going to take a nap because I am tired! See you guys later!" Mitch says as he waves goodbye to the camera.

- 3pm -
Mitch films a clip of all of the kids happily eating popsicle sticks together in the living room!

Amelia has just woken up from her afternoon nap while Liam, Hudson, Sophia, Isabella, and Sawyer all just came in from outside.

"Make sure you don't make a mess on the carpet, okay? Hold the napkins by the popsicle." Scott says to the kids as he hands each of them a napkin.

Mitch really hates the carpet getting messed up and dirty so Scott makes sure he does all that he can so that doesn't happen.

"Okay, Papa!" Liam, Hudson, Sophia, Isabella, Sawyer and Amelia say in unison as they continue to enjoy their popsicles.

Liam is eating a purple popsicle, Hudson is eating a yellow popsicle, Sophia is eating an orange popsicle, Isabella is eating a blue popsicle, Sawyer is eating a green popsicle and Amelia is eating a red popsicle!

"Good!" Mitch says with a big cheeky smile.

"Mitchy, I am going to take a shower. Do you need anything?" Scott asks Mitch as he kisses him

"Okay, babe! And no, I don't need anything. Thank you though!" Mitch says as he kisses Scott twice more and then Scott runs upstairs. 

"Amelia took a long nap today! Didn't you, baby?" Mitch asks Amelia.

"Uh huh." Amelia says happily eating her popsicle.

"You are getting so tall, just like your brothers and sissys." Mitch says, making Amelia smile.

"Yay!" Amelia says with a big smile on her face.

"Hey guys! Guess what?" Mitch says to the kids.

"What?" Hudson, Sophia, Isabella and Sawyer asks Mitch in unison.

"What, Daddy!" Amelia says jumping up and down in excitement.

"Yes!" Liam, Hudson, Sophia, Isabella, Sawyer and Amelia say in unison.

"Good! We can do that! After you all finish your popsicles we are all going to get dressed and ready to go out!" Mitch says to all of the kids.

"Who is that on your iPhone lock screen, Liam?" Sophia asks Liam, being nosy.

"It's Willow." Liam says to Sophia, annoyed at his little sister being nosy.

"She looked naked! Woah!" Isabella says, making Mitch and Scott's ears perk up.

"Naked! Let me see this!" Mitch says as he looks at Liam's lock screen.

"She is just in a bikini, Dad. She sent it to me today. She is at Arya's house having a sleepover." Liam says to Mitch.

"Aww, she sent her man a picture. How cute is that." Scott says playfully, making Liam's cheeks blush.

"Aww, she posed for you and everything. How cute." Mitch says playfully to Liam.

Liam blushes and hides his face making Mitch, Scott, Hudson, Sophia and Isabella giggle and smile at him

"Addi is my lock screen! See!" Hudson says happily showing everyone his iPhone screen of Addison.
