01:14 for this one for a long time,

01:15 so I'm gonna do a really quick house tour.

01:18 This is our music room where we do band practice

01:20 and make videos.

01:23 You guys already know we got a lot of people in our family,

01:25 so we got double shoe shelves.

01:44 Plans for dinner.

01:47 Okay, I'm running out of time.

01:48 That's all of downstairs,

01:49 but like for part two for upstairs.

01:51 Hey, this is part two of our house tour.

01:53 I'm upstairs where all of our bedrooms are.

01:55 All right, here is a girls' room.

02:14 Here's another bathroom.

02:16 Okay, that's pretty much all of upstairs,

02:17 and I know I didn't show you guys a lot,

02:19 but hey, sometimes you gotta have a little bit of privacy.

02:22 This is what it's like growing up

02:23 with 13 kids in my family, part three.

02:26 Hanging up in random places,

02:28 you'll find a lot of backpacks, a lot of purses,

02:30 and whenever we go somewhere,

02:32 it can take a while for everybody to get their stuff.

02:35 This is our 15-passenger van.

02:37 A lot of you guys are wondering what we drive,

02:39 and that's it.

02:41 Grocery shopping for a family this big is kind of insane,

02:44 but we all help unload and put things away

02:46 'cause it's a lot of food.

02:48 And lastly, we don't have a table that fits all of us,

02:51 but who knows, we might get one soon.
