Bailey Update ✨2024✨

every year we try to make update videos for our family just as little like Memories for us as the kids are growing up so it is January it's time to start up the update videos Bailey our oldest child is here today and last year we actually made some really cute printables I don't know if you can see them here but they're very fun and make this really easy and they're especially cute when you ask like a four or 5-year-old and you fill it in but you can basically use the same thing when they're little and then every year use these so I think these are a lot of fun you can find similar versions all over the place but if you're interested in getting the ones that we made there is a link below that you can check out we're going to start by asking the questions on our printable but then at the end of the video we have some questions that actually came in from our channel members and they're really good so I'm really excited to see Bailey's answer to those what is your favorite TV show I knew you going to ask that one first uh I really like I think it's kind of a three-way tie right now understandable I'm watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and it's amazing amazing child it is amazing it is amazing Bailey so much I'm on season five right now it's amazing I also really like Percy Jackson I mean I feel like I kind of have to say that because I love the book so much why you have to say it so kind of is is Buffy like ha no no no no no no no no start over start over I love Percy Jackson and I love the books and I love the show it's just it's and the movie you love the movies no I don't love the movies okay like guess there's a favorite movie question coming up so you can save it for that no I can't I do not love the movies I'm sorry movies number three is Gravity Falls classic classic what is your favorite book oh that is hard one I think it is I mean I love Percy Jackson like all the Percy Jackson the whole the whole series the whole world the whole world the whole universe of Percy Jackson that's a lot of books for a favorite book that's fine we'll take it how many books do you think that is like 26 wait wait wait 5 + 5 five three it's 18 no wait not three one okay 16 yeah so Bailey's favorite book is 16 books yes what is your favorite movie that's a hard one probably Forest scump I also really like everything everywhere all at once yeah so good the perfect movie it is it is just perfect like it's interesting cuz I it's not my favorite movie but it is the perfect movie it's the best movie what is your favorite musical I love all these questions um they really app with their hard aren't they like that's hard to narrow down uh I got to say probably Hades town or Hamilton it's hard to Nar or Matilda or in Woods yes Bailey's favorite musical is like five musicals this video is mostly about just us remembering Bailey at a certain age anyway so it doesn't have to be like one answer favorite hobbies you're just asking so many impossible questions there's so many answers well it says Hobbies so you can definitely listen oh okay yeah so Reading Writing singing acting puzzles and learning languages yeah that that about sums it up you're also a really good artist yes I love drawing and you do the drawing on you do drawing on your iPad I do do some procreate drawing but I usually just use a pencil do you prefer pencil yes favorite board game does Dungeons and Dragons count I'll count it I also love this board game called Mansions of Madness pretty sure I've mentioned this before but it's like official it's like Dungeons and Dragons except the dungeon Masters an iPad mention the madness is a bit more organized and by a bit I mean a lot more organized like it's almost a little bit more limiting and it doesn't feel limiting when you're playing it It Feels Like A lot's going on but like compared to dungeons the dragon it's really difficult to be the dungeon master and the dungeon Master's always like you approach this rock and they're like and and like say the rock is like secretly a dragon or something like it's a giant rock that's like secretly a dragon then someone's and it's like supposed to be the final like boss it's like the big bad yeah and then they're like let's throw the rock off a cliff the dungeon master's like okay there goes 2 months of careful planning to create that creature yeah thrown off the cliff yeah new plan new big bad right yeah also the movie was very good oh yes the dungeon dragons movie was it was awesome especially if you play Dungeons and Dragons like at all it was really funny cuz we were watching it and I was like oh they definitely rolled a two on that one what is your favorite song no I don't I don't Angel song no oh it's The Buffy theme song Yes Nerf f is it really yeah I think so I listen to it on Loop yesterday well I was doing homework I was so next week it'll probably be a different answer like had Town songs all the songs in Hamilton all your like Taylor Swift songs you're liking these days I don't know I'm going with Buffy at this exact moment it's so fun this actually means a lot me because Christopher and I used to follow around the band Nerf hurter and they play the buff like they are The Buffy theme song and we used to follow like when we were our college and high school days we used to like follow them to different cities just to hear that like they were our band and now the the lead singer of Nerf hurder is is Perry grip who also makes a lot of music that the kids play on repeat a lot especially Parker so Parker loves raining tacos it's raining tacos and but like it's so adorable that you guys like on your own have come to love Nerf hurder and Perry grip like I mean there was some influence where we were like hey check this out but like we've done that with lots of music and lots of things and you guys I'm just like I'm stunned right now that you said The Buffy theme song I'm like I'm flored I'm so obsessed with it Bailey says the best things while we're watching Buffy together well in general and while we're watching like there was a we were in the first season and we were watching it on I don't know one of the I think it's on Hulu and was like even if they had an option to skip the intro I would never skip the intro I was like I was so obsessed with this Moment Like This means so much to me favorite animal what is your favorite animal I don't know is it still the man maybe Rue very valid so true Rue Rue is our dog favorite food ice cream do you have a favorite flavor of ice cream I like Min chip and mango and unfortunately those two things don't actually mix so I have to eat them separately that is really hard like cuz when you go to an ice cream place with that offers Two Scoops and you're like I want my faves yeah yeah exactly like can you can I add two scoops but can you put a little napkin right in between them separation I also at Trader Joe's they have a boba ice cream and it has like Boba inside of it it's really good and the shocking part of it is that it is vegan yeah it's it's vegan it is my favorite ice cream it is my favorite ice cream so I love that you brought this up cuz I would have forgotten about it it is my favorite favorite color but these are all so hard I feel like I'm giving multiple answers to every single question you've asked me so far understandable I think we can all relate to that I like pink and I also like blue is there a like a type of pink or blue that you like or do you like everything on the pink and blue Spectrum I like like a light pink yeah like that so this has two pinks on it but you like the lighter I like this pink uh this pink is actually really nice too that's a nice pink and I like pretty much any color of blue do you have a favorite subject in school well I took a theater class last semester and that was my favorite more Basic School um classes you mean like traditional requirements traditional requirements I like English or like any language classes favorite holiday Christmas du this is like a phrase when I grow up I want to be dot dot dot a problem you were ready with that do you have an alternate answer that might be more serious though that was fantastic uh I would like to be an actress and also an author do you want to be an actress on stage or in film stage of film too but I think I've done more theater and I enjoyed it the most I mean I love film stuff but seder is like the best yeah it's definitely a different feeling it is and it's a lot longer too like there are more rehearsals um you get to know the people you're working with a lot more mhm and you perform the same thing over and over again as to just like the one time and all the way through you perform it all the way through which is so fun it's it's wild to think that like when somebody makes a film they like they could be doing the side breaking up scene before they me scene yeah it's wild and here's a big question okay what are your goals goals for this year for 2024 my goal is to finish watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer good goal today oh I don't think there are enough hours for that I would like to watch some more Buffy the Vampire Slayer good good today gu same I would like to learn how to drive a car last year I decided I did not want to learn how to drive uh I think the realization hit me that I might hit someone which is so wise honestly like a lot of teenagers like don't think enough and also adults I don't know a lot of people like the gravity of what you're doing by like wielding a car it like I don't think it occurs to people as much yeah so I was very impressed when you thought of that I was like I'm going to wait till next year because I think next year I'll probably be slightly more mature yeah and I think I am slightly more mature so I think you're a lot more mature I want to drive a car I mean it would be really nice to like drive to Starbucks instead of walking to Starbucks but it's so healthy to walk drive me it is healthy to walk yeah but it's a long walk so the goal is fast Starbucks fast Starbucks that's my goal here yes it's a good goal I could go to the library I could drive to school do you have any other goals I want to write a 100 pages okay I love that goal kind of a big goal I've done it before but it took two years oh and the other thing is I want to maybe possibly if I don't have too much homework start doing more social media on my own you know lady I love it you guys like outside of the Family Channel a particular thing like do you want to do Instagram Tik Tok YouTube um YouTube yeah I think YouTube would be the most fun I always thought you having like a book rated channel would be like very exciting yeah I think I'd want to like heavily dissect stories and characters from books movies TV shows musicals I would watch that even if I hadn't read or seen any of those like that sounds amazing I want to start live streaming oh that's awesome Bailey has always loved live streaming it's very fun yeah I get to talk about myself for a very long time it's so fun and I can play video games and what video game would you play I don't know The Sims is fun there is a buffy video game I'm gonna play that one I don't even know if it's possible but I'm like as we're watching like one some of the Harry Potter ones too like oh yeah that would be good yeah but as we've been watching Buffy I've been having these like memories of playing The Buffy video game like maybe you have it maybe it's in the garage maybe I honestly I I might have like struggled with letting it go so maybe I have it but I just feel like it was so long ago like it was when was it fun I feel like it was it was okay but like you're playing the people and I feel and I I like I can't even remember what the game play is like part of me I feel like it might have been like a puzzle game but I'm not sure sped done I know spikes in it oh so not season one was it called chaos bleeds yes I think it was that's amazing that was on the game okay it was on the Christopher is doing some research and he found out that it was on the GameCube and it was called chaos bleeds anyway I vaguely remembering do you remember who the big dad was in the video I cannot remember anything about it like I just remember that I did that for a little bit so our YouTube channel has a members area where you can become a member and some of our members actually came up with some questions to ask for these update videos I'm really excited about these they're really insightful you could make one seemingly impossible thing possible this year what would it be like literally impossible or yeah seemingly impossible thing okay this is your moment so I would make a machine that would make you go into a book okay that's it that's great so you would live no no it you can go into fiction you can also time you can also get out of it as well and it only affects that book like it doesn't affect other copies of that book you don't ruin the book or anything don't ruin the book um you don't stretch it out you no it's it's just that book okay or like you don't change the story line you don't change the storyline you don't change the characters but you do in that book that copy of the book and you would be yourself joining the story line you wouldn't be one of the characters I would be myself and then and I can pull them out too the characters or I know you've thought about this a lot I have thought about this you should make it make it in 2024 I can also take objects such as the time Turner yes and this is dangerous and take them out it's not dangerous if it's me using it but this machine like ultimately creates so many other like unlimited bananas andoss machines because you're grabbing them from that's the point oh you know what I would actually grab first what item Felix felicies okay it is a luck potion and it's from Harry Potter okay and if you drink it you're immediately very lucky for the rest of the day what do you want luck with what do you feel you need that for I can do it with anything jump right into Harry Potter grab the Felix FES drink it and then you're lucky in the stories you jump into afterwards o and then where would you go so um I don't I don't know but it would be pretty awesome cuz I could pretty much defeat any bad guy you wouldn't go like hang out with my luck power I mean I could could just like hang out at Camp Half Blood with Percy and Annabeth just enjoy some blue cookies that would be a good time and I would be lucky so no monster would attack us I was going to say so there would be a lot of fresh hot blue cookies yeah these are a couple kind of long ones okay um I would like to hear Bailey fan girl over Percy Jackson so I mean hey that's that's your channel like you could make a whole channel for that I would love to say about Percy Jackson have you read all the books that follow Blood of Olympus uh like trial of AP I read Trials of Apollo I read Magnus Chase I Haven read the king Chronicles I read the sun and the star I read the Chalice of the guts and I read the camp half the like Camp Half confidential demigod files demigod Diaries do you have feelings on Nico they're asking he's he's great have you read Rick Ryan's ancient Egyptian series the king of Chronicles I feel like I I keep like meaning to read it I read the first book and then I forget what happens in the first book then I read the second book and I'm like what happened in the first book it's such a struggle with books a struggle because like I keep getting sidetracked with all the other serieses I loved Magnus Chase though so you should definitely read that he says I love those books too and there's even a short story crossover with the I read that one that was that was actually at the end of my Heroes of Olympus books like they had one that was a crossover with Percy one that was a crossover with Annabeth and then one that was a crossover with both you seem to like these questions so there's a followup okay um she also says I would like to thank Bailey for her continued recommendation of Keeper of the Lost Cities I finally read them at the end of the last year good job I'm 30 years old now but still always have a children's fiction fantasy series on the go because they're just less intense in books for adult readers but still so enjoyable and I fully agree with that yeah like especially when I broke my leg and I had all these medicines that made it hard for me to like concentrate on things more I was like I just all I wanted was um like young adult fiction fantasy fiction and I like I couldn't even watch television I couldn't watch I couldn't read any other book and I was just like these are so great they're so perfect and since I've Loved Percy Jackson for basically Bailey's whole life and now Bailey loves them I knew I could trust her opinion on keeper lost cities um I've had on my to read list for a long time thanks and they're so good saying she just started them thanks Bailey also she appreciates a series with a strong female lead who shares her name fun surprise a that's so cool please spend 30 minutes solely expounding on your feelings toward pery Jackson TV on Disney plus all right I don't know that we're going to do 30 full minutes but you should do 30 minutes on your channel this is this can be your first question this can't but do do a minute or so um yeah okay so it's really good so far there are six episodes out right now the seventh one will come out tonight for me I'm just I'm just so excited okay I I love this book series so much and then watching the show it's like they did they did such a good job like how good a job they did with it kind of reminds me of how good of a job they did With A Series of Unfortunate Events good though with Neil Patrick har yes I haven't seen the other one but I've seen the ne yeah no the Neil Patrick haris one is so good it's so good so good um and mysterious Benedict societ mysterious Benedict Society too but not not exactly like mysterious Benedict Society because mysterious Benedict Society is it was it's gone now it was slightly similar to the books but it was very different they went off a little bit they had like their own creative choices with it which I appreciated sometimes I wanted like an actual like very closer to closer to what the books were Percy Jackson did it perfectly definitely they do have their own creative choices with it but it definitely captures like the same feeling as the book and the same plot which the movies did not do I just really appreciate it so far I think all the acting is incredible the people they cast are amazing the everything everything is there a food that you tried last year that you Lov that you've never had before yakan definitely yakan we had it in New Orleans and it was so good yeah I can't even describe the happiness I felt while I was eating it it was like spicy and it was so good I feel like you've been you like spicy things now which is so great I've been waiting for this time all in my life because I love spicy and the kidss for a long time couldn't tolerate it and now the older ones are starting to like it and it's so fun cuz you're trying all these new things I had so much spicy stuff in New Orleans that I was like I need more of this in my life always we had so many new things that we had to e we had po boys I had a lot of Gumbo you had a lot of alligator alligator I had a lot of alligator and I actually even found out about yakan on uh like it's there's a Netflix like street food show that we were watching before we went to New Orleans because it was like specifically about New Orleans Food and that's where we heard of it and that's how we knew to seek it out because it's like it's such an interesting thing that I had never heard heard of before it's very good I tried the beef one and I tried the shrimp one and they were incredible the beef one was more spicy and the shrimp one was a little less spicy my favorite one was the beef one but the shrimp one was great too and then our last question from the members will be what is your favorite thing to do as a family well I've been really liking watching Buffy with you but that's not really like our whole family that's just us so it's a good time though huh it's my favorite I always really like playing board games yes but like since our family's so big we don't just play like the one-on-one board games you know we play the like party pack it's true we have to get the party edition the extension pack uh yeah either the extension pack or we just play party games yeah the the ones that you need like six players to play we just play them we got it we've got every day is a party at our house yes by default that wraps up all of my questions I want to give Bailey a minute if you want to add anything that you felt like you haven't put in here like anything you want to remember from the last year from who you are today as a wonderful 16-year-old young lady um I've been learning a lot of sign language it's been really fun that's so true like we didn't bring that up at all but you're yeah we haven't been bringing that up but I am studying ASL right now and it's it's just it's so beautiful it's such a beautiful language and it's like it's really interesting languages too because when you're when you're talking to someone else you have to completely focus on what they're saying because like if you miss one sign we'll get hopelessly lost so it's um a lot about Focus yeah I feel like that's that's something that is kind of more rare these days like I mean even I'm guilty of it too like looking at my phone while I'm doing something else or like a computer because I have something kids like helping one kid while so yeah really fully focusing on somebody is like a nice thing I have noticed and I could be wrong or it could be like just by habit but I feel like I've noticed you signing and translating our conversations around the house lately like over the last week or two I've noticed you like moving your hands around and and I'm always assuming you're translating yeah like when when we have to pause Buffy the Vampire Slayer I've definitely seen that I just like signed whatever the caption say just to practice that's great or um I think I did this for a while while I was watching Gravity Falls I signed whatever Mabel was saying just to practice when we go to like amusement parks we're running in line with my hand in my pocket I'll start like I'll start finger spelling any signs around me like any warning signs anything saying like don't do this when you're on the ride I'll just practice moving my fingers as quickly as I can and accurately to finger spell whatever words are on the sign and stuff that's awesome and we saw speaking of all this we saw the coolest like job at least for Bailey specifically when we went and saw The Christmas Story musical yeah we saw the Christmas Story musical and when when we were there there were two interpreters interpreting the whole um musical our tickets just landed on a night when there were interpreters there and it was so cool I Ed up like half watching the musical and half watching the interpreters the whole time cuz I was like this is so cool because they're kind of they're they're signing and they're also acting the parts and it's such a it's such a neat thing and such a fun thing I think for you like I think you would love doing it and also at least for this show there was one man and one woman and the man was playing all of the roles including like singing the songs through sign and the woman was playing all the female roles so like you get to so much acting like you're acting more than the people on the stage because you're playing all the roles like it's so cool so anyway I thought that was really really neat and I'm so glad we just happened to be there on that day I'm hoping that when we see more shows we'll get to be on that same day again because it was really really really special so that's our update on Bailey she is a wonderful delightful young lady we're so lucky to have her as part of our family I think right now we should go watch an episode of Buffy what do you think yes let's do it right now right now are we are we on Angel Buffy we're on Buffy Buffy we're watching it in chronological order we're watching it the same way as when it aired so we watch so we watched Buffy season 1 two and three and then we started watching Buffy and Angel like every other episode on season four and five we're on five right now yeah so and season two of Angel so we're having a good time
