The video starts with Daniel sitting in the brand new family van in the parking lot of the orthodontist office, waiting for Haven's appointment to be finished.

Koa and Sienna are both sitting in their car seats, playing with their tablets. Sienna is practicing her letters while Koa is watching an episode of Barney.

Daniel gets the camera tripod back on the dash after it fell off a few days prior due to it being old and a piece falling off. Daniel wrestles with the camera for a minute before it snaps onto the tripod.

"Okay everyone, the camera is finally set up on the tripod. We really need a new tripod for the van, this one was dropped outside by accident and a piece fell off. Hopefully the camera stays still and doesn't flip around." Daniel says as he fixes his hair.

"But anyway, hi guys! Welcome back to the Preda Fam channel! It has been a while since we have done a vlog style video! The last few vlogs were holiday ones, so now it is time to get back to regular content! So today, I have to run a bunch of errands so on the way I'll give you all some life updates on our family!" Daniel says with a smile.

"Right now, I am in the parking lot of the orthodontist because Mx. Haven is getting their braces put on! All of their adult teeth are just about in, which is what exactly happened with Aspen as well. Usually it takes kids until age thirteen for that to happen but not our kids, all of their adult teeth have been in since ages ten or eleven." Daniel says as Koa giggles in the background.

"However, Aspen waited until she was thirteen to get her braces, which was her choice. Haven wanted to get theirs and be done with them quicker and bestie same. I would have been the same way if I had the choice growing up. Both Joey and I had braces as a tween and teen so it makes sense that the majority of our kids would need them. I actually had to get Invisalign as an adult because I didn't wear my retainer. So PSA, wear your retainer!" Daniel says as he fixes his hair.

"Haven shouldn't need their braces for that long, the orthodontist thinks about one to two years, so we shall see. Aspen had her braces on for almost two years, Everett is almost finished with his braces and it's been almost two years for him as well. And for Maxwell, he has had his for six months so far and is hating it. Out of all of the kids to have braces thus far he has struggled the most with them but he knows it needs to be done to help with his bite and his mouth. Max might need his braces on the longest because his mouth is built just like mine, poor guy." Daniel says as Koa walks over to the drivers seat.

"Papa! Papa!" Koa says with a cheeky smile as he holds onto Daniel's arm.

"Yes, buddy?" Daniel says as he rubs Koa's head, fixing his bright blonde hair.

*Koa's outfit*

"Video all done, Papa!" Koa says, showing Daniel his iPad screen. 

"The video is all done. You can have some more screen time later, okay? Havey's appointment is almost finished." Daniel says to Koa.

"Otay!" Koa says with a little frown but he is not upset.

"Do you wanna say hello to everyone? They'll see you on the video and say hi to you!" Daniel says to Koa, causing him to giggle and smile.

"Hiiii!" Koa says to the camera as he waves happily.

"This big boy is going to be TWO in just a few weeks! I cannot believe it. These past six months he has really blossomed with his speech and he doesn't act like a baby anymore, he's all toddler now." Daniel says proudly about Koa.

"Barney?" Koa asks Daniel, wanting to watch another episode of Barney.

"You can watch Barney later, okay? Havey is almost done." Daniel says as he gives Koa a kiss.

"He is obsessed with Barney right now. Not the new Barney cartoon, the old school Barney show. Right? You love watching Barney?" Daniel says to the camera and then to Koa.

"Ya! Barney! Baby Bop! BB! Riffy!" Koa says in excitement, talking about all of dinosaurs on the show.

"That's right, K! The dinosaurs are Barney, Baby Bop, BJ and Riff! Great job!" Daniel says happily.

"Koa and Sienna are with me today along with Haven of course! My mom is at home watching Casp and Emmy and Joey is getting some much needed work done, he has gotten behind due to the holidays, me as well. And the rest of the kids are in school!" Daniel says to the camera.

"Scwhool!" Koa squeals happily.

"Yeah! All of your older siblings except Havey and Sie Sie are all in school today! Do you want to tell everyone what we did today?" Daniel asks Koa as Koa smiles ear to ear.

"Uh huh! Uh huh!" Koa says, jumping up and down happily.

"Before we came to Havey's braces appointment, we went to the Headstart / Preschool and signed Koa up to begin school this fall! He will be in the Pre-K 2's class! We met all of the teachers for the Pre-K 2's program and Koa seems really excited! Are you excited to start school, bud?" Daniel asks Koa and Koa happily nods.

"UH HUH! I cited! I cited!" Koa says, clapping his hands in excitement.

"Daddy and I are really excited too, buddy!" Daniel says as he and Koa smile at each other,

"So Koa will start school this fall along with the eleven older kids! Twelve kids in school everybody, that is literally insane. Also this fall we will have two sets of twins at home with us, which is going to be fun and special as well. I know a lot of you will ask why we didn't sign up Cas and Emmy to start school alongside Koa since they are all born in the same year, just nine months apart." Daniel says as Koa manages to climb into Daniel's lap.

"There are a few reasons for that. One reason is we wanted Koa to be his own person and have his own friends and his own class and with Casp and Emmy being in the same grade, that wouldn't really be. Koa is not a triplet with Casp and Emmy and people will just assume that and to Joey and I that's not fair. I think if it was two singleton pregnancies nine months apart we would probably send them to school together but since it's just Koa and then Casp and Emmy which are twins, that would be odd to us." Daniel says as Koa makes a silly face at the camera.

"The second reason is developmentally the twins are behind Koa which is completely normal due to their age. Casp and Emmy just turned one years old two months ago while Koa is almost two years old. That's a huge developmental gap there, so much happens between that almost year of time." Daniel says as Koa interrupts him.

"Casp and Emmy!" Koa yells, causing Daniel to chuckle.

"Yeah! Casp and Emmy just had a birthday a few months ago, huh?" Daniel says as Koa nods.

"Riv, Havey and Ash all have a late birthday because their birthdays are after September 1st, which is the cut off for California to start kindergarten. You have to be five by or on September 1st. But due to their test scores in pre-k, all three of them were able to start "earlier" I should say and not wait until the following year to start school. The three of them are usually the younger ones in the class but they are all doing great. So really, Casp and Emmy would be starting school "on time" based on their birthday." Daniel says to the camera.

"Papa?" Sienna says softly with her lavender colored mask on.

*Sienna's outift*

"Yes, Sie Sie?" Daniel says as he smiles at Sienna.

"Throat hurt." Sienna says in a whisper.

"Aw okay, baby. I can give you the medicine Dr. Michaels gave you. We did a dose at the doctor's office and that was four hours ago. Yes, Sienna had an 7am doctors appointment. That was a rough one to get to on time but that was the only appointment available." Daniel says as he grabs Sienna's medicine from his bag and fills the little cup with pink liquid medicine.

Daniel helps Sienna take the medicine by holding the small medicine cup as she drinks it.

"Good girl. I know it's kinda gross tasting." Daniel says proudly to Sienna.

"It kinda tastes wike bubble gum but kinda gwross." Sienna says as Daniel giggles and kisses her forehead.

"This girly has had a rough few months with tons of ear infections, so Joey and I decided to get tubes placed in her ears. I know that procedure is controversial to people for some reason but for our family we believe in medicine and we don't want our children suffering if we can fix it. Sienna had a little rough time recovering with some pain but that's expected sometimes! She had her three week follow up, it was suppose to be a two week follow up, but two of our kids caught covid at school that week so we wanted to wait until it cleared out of our house before going to the doctors. And now Sienna has strep! So that's why she is with us today because she had a doctor's appointment and because she doesn't feel good. She should be back to herself in a day or two! Once antibiotics are in you, you aren't contagious anymore. But good news, her ear tubes are perfect and are doing well!" Daniel says as Sienna waves at the camera causing Daniel to smile.

"Throat feels weird." Sienna says as Daniel nods.

"It does feel weird, huh? Strep is yucky and hurts alot. But you are such a good girl for telling Daddy and I right away. Because it won't get any worse and you should be feeling better quicker too. You already seem better!" Daniel says to Sienna and Sienna nods.

"Uh huh!" Sienna says to Daniel happily.

"Do you wanna go home after Havey's appointment is done? We can stop home if you want to." Daniel asks Sienna.

"No! I wanna go to Target, Papa!" Haven says, causing Daniel to giggle.

"Okay! That's fine, sweet girl. I'm glad you are feeling better." Daniel says with a smile.

"TARGET!" Koa yells in excitement.

"The kids love Target and do so I!" Daniel says as the clip ends.

The next clip of the vlog is of Haven getting into the van with Daniel. Sienna and Koa are buckled into their car seats.

"Here's Mx. Haven! How are you feeling?" Daniel asks Haven as he vlogs them.

*Haven's outfit with black pants*

"It kinda hurts but it's still numb a little. They feel a little weird too." Haven tries to explain to Daniel and the camera.

"That's very normal and should go away after a few days. So the next few days you have to eat soft stuff. We can get you a slushie at McDonald's if you want." Daniel says to Haven and Haven smiles.

"Yes, please!" Haven says with excitement.

"I want one too, pwease!" Sienna says from her seat.

"Ya! Me too!" Koa says from his seat.

"You shouldn't have said that word, Papa." Haven says as they giggle.

"I shouldn't have but that's okay! That will help Sie Sie's throat and a treat for Koa for being good." Daniel says to Haven.

"I never had strep throat." Haven says to Daniel.

"It sucks when you get it. It's the worse sore throat ever. Hopefully none of you catch it, but Dr. Michaels said we caught it early." Daniel says as Haven nods.

"That's good. We've had enough diseases in our house lately." Haven says as Daniel laughs.

"Ain't that the truth! But thags what happened with a big family, we catch everything. But before we go to McDonalds, let me see what colors you picked for your braces!" Daniel says as he vlogs Haven.

Haven smiles, showing off their purple and yellow braces.

"We love a non binary icon!" Daniel says as Haven giggles loudly.

"Dr. Paxton liked my color choice too! He has a non binary child too, so that's why I like him. He's an ally." Haven explains to Daniel.

"I'm glad you like him! You know Max hates all doctors." Daniel says as Haven laughs.

"Max doesn't like him because he doesn't follow directions." Haven says playfully about their older brother.

"You are gonna be the same way when you can't have the snacks you want!" Daniel says as Haven giggles.

Daniel, Koa, Sienna and Haven have made it to Target. They are at Target to get a some groceries, pet supplies and a few craft things for some of the kids school projects.

"Koa, hold my hand please. And hold onto your slushie okay?" Daniel says as he holds Koa's hand and Koa holds his blue slushie.

Sienna holds Haven's hand as she holds onto her red slushie.

"Car cart, Papa!" Koa says seeing the red car shopping cart and getting extremely excited.

"We can get it once we cross the street. We hold hands when we cross the street, right?" Daniel says as Koa nods.

"Uh huh!" Koa says happily. 

"I wanna ride the car too!" Sienna says with excitement.

"You can, Sie Sie! You and Koa can together." Daniel says happily to Sienna.

"Papa, did you show everybody our new van?" Haven asks Daniel.

"I haven't yet! Thank you for reminding me, Havey." Daniel says as he begins to vlog the Preda family van.

"Look at our new family van! This is the Ford Transit Minibus in the color charcoal gray! I absolutely LOVE the color! This holds eighteen people so it just fits our family perfectly! We still have to take two cars if we have friends joining us somewhere or if my mom goes but that's okay! At least we have a car that our whole family fits. Big family problems folks!" Daniel says with some sass at the end as he vlogs the family van on the outside.

A video clip of all of the kids in their seats is shown while Daniel talks about the kids seating arrangements.

"The six older kids don't really have assign seats but Eden, Ash the triplets, Koa and the twins all have their own seats since they are in car seats still. River is in a little booster seat so he can move around. He isn't quite heavy enough to sit without a booster. The new twins will sit up front when they arrive." Daniel explains to the camera.

"Our old van held fifteen people, so it doesn't work for our family now since we will have sixteen kids, Joey, myself and my mom." Daniel says Koa happily sings to himself while Sienna enjoys her slushie.

"This van actually won't work either, Papa." Haven says playfully to Daniel.

"That's correct, Havey. But Dad and I didn't want to buy a church bus to haul everyone and this was the next best option." Daniel says playfully to Haven and Haven laughs.

"Yeah, we aren't the Duggars and need a church bus." Haven says, drinking their blue slushie and Daniel laughs.

"This works for all of you, Dad and I but not if we have Nonna. However, we always take two cars if we have friends with us. Plus, all of you love to ride with Nonna or Aspen." Daniel says and Haven giggles again.

"Nonna needs one of us in her car because she gets lost. She doesn't understand how to work the GPS. And Aspen's Jeep is awesome to ride in." Haven says to Daniel and the camera.

"Nonna is a typical Boomer or Gen Xer. And Aspen usually rides with us if we go somewhere as a family but if she has her friends she'll drive." Daniel says to Haven and Haven laughs.

"Who can get their drivers license next?" Haven asks Daniel.

"Everett can get his permit next winter because you have to be fifteen and a half years old to get it." Daniel says as Haven smiles.

"I wanna drive!" Sienna says to Daniel.

"You will one day, princess!" Daniel says as Sienna giggles.

"And if you are wondering where our old van went, it actually went to Will and RJ! They needed a new vehicle after they adopted Luci and the birth of Henry. We were in the process of getting a bigger van even before we found out we were expecting again, so we helped them out and gave them the van!" Daniel says to the vlogging camera.

"I wanna see Luca!" Sienna says, talking about her friend.

"Maybe we can schedule a playdate with him! But you have to be better first!" Daniel says as Sienna giggles.

"Okay kiddos! Let's go to Target!" Daniel says as he, Koa, Haven and Sienna all walk into Target.
