We are a FUN and ADVENTUROUS family of 6 who lost our son to SIDS in 2014. Our biggest regret was not having family videos of him when he was here and is why we started doing daily vlogs!
Thomas is a 2X North American Champion in his kick-boxing career and Ashley is a network-marketing professional and speaker in her company.
Together we have 5 year old Identical twins- Simon & Cohen. Our son Miloh was born 12/12/13 and passed away 5/20/14. We were blessed with our Rainbow baby Ezrah this year on 03/02/17 and we have loved sharing our every day journey with our followers and are looking forward to where this journey takes us!
Warning mom if you're watching stop the video and you can watch it on Sunday after you get your gift
Today I'm going
Mother's Day gift for Ashley like it's so hard to buy a gift for Ashley because if she's ever won
I think she kind of just goes and gets what she wants
But today I'm gonna build her window boxes
She's wanted flower boxes under the windows out front for a long long time
And she never could find like the right one that I've seen pictures of the ones that she really likes
But she never can find them for sale
And she just like is too sweet to even ask me to build them so I'm gonna build her some window boxes
And I'm gonna put them right here
Yeah, then I'm gonna take her either
I'll just go pick out some flowers because I know what kind she loves and they have to grow really well in the shade
Or we'll go together after I build them and surprise her with it. So tell me if you guys like how these look
Well, I'm pretty sure I just finished the old
Window boxes and
Ezra is just chilling here with me
Mom went to go get her nails done
Ezra's looking like a gangster with this beanie on whack, but let's go check these window boxes out you guys
It's kind of like our early Mother's Day present, but let's go check them out
Oh snap, what do you guys think? I did them out of wood then I painted them the same color as a garage
These are the ones on the pictures she looked at
so I
Built it accordingly
It's not too bad. There's one thing that I like to do. It's woodwork. I don't know why
But you wouldn't really expect because it's not really like you would think would be my thing
But it is my thing now picture this you guys those are gonna be full of flowers overflowing. I got my shutters up
I got to put the other shutters up still but
Looking good. Okay, Ashley does not know that I'm right here. She just pulled up and she hasn't seen her window boxes yet
Hey
You like oh
Do they match so good happy Mother's Day
Look at those suckers
Just took sweat blood and tears to get them suckers together wanting
This is like been my dream since we moved in here. Are you kidding me? You plant real big flowers in that bad boy. Oh
My gosh, can we get flowers for them like ASAP? Let's go ASAP. Oh my gosh
I want she wants like big flowers that hang out you guys
The nursery right down the street
You guys if you have any good ideas for flowers, maybe we'll wait till like tomorrow
If you guys know some good pretty flowers that survive in the shade
During the summer because this doesn't get that much Sun. I can actually don't think it gets really any good flowers like hangover
Tell us in the comments, please
How are your nails? Oh, do you like them? Let me see you a cute date. Wait touch it
Look at that there's like a beads or diamonds on them
We are gonna get some pictures of these two for a Mother's Day gift for grandma
Oh, I would definitely not pick that up honey. That's heavy paint
Thank you, but yeah, we are I can only find one hat so we're gonna take turns
But I'm gonna show you guys what we're gonna do. Okay. All right. This is part of grandma's present
So we're gonna have the boys lay straight down put your arms straight up and then we'll show you what we're gonna do with this
Okay, does this feel so naughty Colin
All right guys, I'm gonna show you what we came up with gift wise for my mom for Mother's Day these are from the kids
I love just doing thoughtful gifts and that's what my mom loves. She does not care about like fancy stuff
She just loves the little thoughtful gifts. So from them, this is what she's going to be getting
Here is a cute little flower vase, but it's of all the boys handprints and feet prints
So this is our little Ezra's and look how big
The boys feet are it's crazy
But anyway, we have all their cute little hands and then I saw this cute thing on Pinterest and then I just got that little vase
At the store and then I filled it with her favorite chocolates. And then my mom is
Obsessed with reading so we made these cute little bookmarks
And I just laminated a picture of them and then this is just like thread
But I also had them write their names on the back and then put the date
So that she knew obviously since I have twins which one was which yeah
I just thought this was a super cute idea since she loves to read
To have little bookmarks of the boys and then for me personally
What I like to do is I always again like to do thoughtful gifts
And so I like to put a lot of thought into what I give my mom for Mother's Day
So what I usually do is I give her my very favorite things that I have found over the past year
so for instance
Any products that are my favorite
anything that I use on a day-to-day basis or
Treats or food that have become my favorites. I put it in like a gift basket and that's what I give her
So this year I'm just gonna give you guys an idea of what I'm doing. My mom has never
Heard of dry shampoo. I was talking to her the other day and I'm like what?
Were you raised in a barn? Actually she was
That's kind of funny because she was her dad was a farmer, but anyway
Got her some dry shampoo and she's gonna love me for that. This is another product
That's my very favorite right now because it helps. Oh my heck. It does wonders for your hair
So I give her some products that are my favorite. I'm also going to be giving her
I'm not putting the gift basket together yet because there's gonna be lots of like treats in it
But like my very favorite dessert place that makes these cookies that are her very favorite her very favorite
Cookies are in st. George and we live about eight hours from there. So it's a problem
You can't just go and get a cookie
But there's a new little shop that opened just a few months ago that she doesn't know about and they have those exact
Cookies, so I'm gonna go give her a bunch of those and then I have like gift certificates to just like getting her nails done
And a few other things that I'm brainstorming right now of just some of my other favorite things from this year
So that's what she will be getting for Mother's Day
And hopefully this gave you guys a few ideas on what you guys can be getting for your mothers this Sunday
Gosh, my son's growing up
He went on his first date today
Yeah, I had a girl come and pick him up and everything. I'm talking about Russell by the way
We've had an eventful day. We got a lot of work done today
There was something speaking of sons that I wanted to share with you guys
So, um, we got a message today
From the guy that's doing Milo's headstone. Yes. It's still not done
Three years like three years later two years and ten days
It's me
Three years mate next week is his third
Whatever you want to call it been three years
Anyway, he sent us a picture of it and I was like freaking out which I'm excited to show you guys
I'm not showing you the picture
We're gonna show it to you when it's like fully installed which should be this week
But when you turn it around it showed
Brother of and it's a Simon and Cohen and I'm like, oh my gosh. We already have a new name to add to it
Oh my gosh, like it took him that long that we already have another child like I don't know what we do
Do we tell him now like?
Just FYI, we've had another child so we need to add the name Ezra van Hughes. No, it's just it just said their first name
We'll just add Ezra's whole name
Just Ezra
Obviously on it and then Ezra yeah, my laughs pretty annoying. Hi. Do I say hi to everyone? We just took a bath, huh?
At the Red Sea part, yeah, we're gonna have to fix that right now
Well on a happy note while I was doing those Mother's Day gifts today
So they already showed you guys I burned
Myself so bad. I hate hot glue. It's like cuz every time
Every time I was so afraid I'm like, I'm gonna burn myself and I do it
I thought she was coming after me like I was freaking out and then burn you
I went to throw my hand under ice water and I didn't know Thomas had just had it on boiling
So I turn on the water and it burnt my finger even more. It was like bubbling. I was screaming
I was thinking in my head. That's what you get for blaming it on me
I'm like so sweet to you. Your body's so hot. Did you just dog my prickles?
Like my chocolate chips
Everybody wanna water blow man is better than your it low where we get my load everybody come up with the
