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!
First thing to get today started, we have two shout outs.
Number one, to Shae from Australia.
She sent us the cutest gift package of just the cutest stuff
let me just show you, let me just show you.
Ashley and I got two bookmarks from Shae.
Simon and Cohen got these 3D kangaroo puzzles
that we're about to put together right now.
How cute.
Because I know they're gonna love these.
And then we all got pencils.
Then, that's for little Ez.
How cute.
And you guys know we have another member of the family
that is Russell.
And she got him a bottle opener.
Like what better for Russell than a bottle opener?
Like, Shae, you don't even know.
You made Russell's day with this thing.
Thank you, Shae.
You're so sweet.
And it's so fun following you on Instagram
and getting to know you.
Yeah.
We found out we have an awesome viewer in Canada.
And his name is?
Hayden.
So I have a friend that does my business with me
and she was at like a, I think she was at like an expo.
And Hayden walked up to her and started talking to her.
I don't know how the conversation went.
But she sent me a video and said,
I met this kid that follows you guys on your vlogs.
And so he was able to say hi to us.
So, hi Hayden.
Thank you so much for watching and following along with us.
And it's so fun to get to meet you guys.
So if we're ever out and about and you guys see us,
please say hi.
Because that's our favorite thing is to meet you guys.
Those are kind of cool papers.
Is that a superhero?
Yeah.
I'm trying to concentrate.
Ah!
You guys are driving your nets?
Are they screaming?
My grandma has been working with them on all their letters.
So, they've already done all these before.
But I figure, may as well do them again.
So we'll probably do a couple letters today.
And I know their hands get tired when they write a lot.
So, they'll probably just get through A, B, and C.
And that whole page.
All right.
We're doing another craft today.
What are we gonna do, guys?
Make a chain for my birthday.
We're making a chain for my birthday.
So at Christmas time, you guys probably remember
we had a chain.
We had it going for like three months.
But this time, we are gonna make a chain for each kid.
So you guys don't have to take turns cutting them.
Or ripping them off, okay?
You get a chain and you get a chain.
So this will be fun.
Because every day they ask me,
Mom, can I see your phone?
I wanna see how many days are left till my birthday.
And this way, they'll be able to see a visual.
I always do this as a kid.
So I'm excited to do this again for them.
Check this out.
Let me see how many days there are.
That looks like the Olympics.
There are no numbers on it.
You just have to count them.
You can count that many, it's okay.
Where should we hang them?
In your bedroom?
They're kinda big, huh?
All right, we found some space to hang these.
Now, I didn't even realize this,
but when I was sticking this to the wall,
if you guys can kinda see,
sort of a different color.
Like it's kind of like an ombre fade.
I didn't realize we haven't painted these walls yet
since we put these windows in.
So this is all like mud still.
It's like really powdery.
So we'll see how those hang.
But we do need to paint this room, I guess.
I have on our to-do list
that we need to put trim around the window
because this is what underneath looks like.
We haven't finished that yet,
but did not realize we haven't painted.
Now, this, I have to show you guys
because I think this is the cutest thing ever.
So Simon wrote my name.
This has been hanging in here since Christmas.
He noticed that under the tree,
like the first couple of weeks,
there wasn't any presents for me.
Probably because I'm the one that wraps everything
and Thomas is like a last minute kinda guy.
So he made tags of my name
and went and stuck them on presents
so that I would have a present under the tree.
And like, how cute is that?
I just died.
So I'm like, we need to save those.
And so he taped it on his wall after Christmas.
Whose is whose?
This is mine.
Okay, that one's Colin's.
Okay, nevermind.
That's my sister and I'm you.
No, I have a pink one.
You guys, they're exactly the same, exactly.
Why?
This is so typical for twins, by the way.
They'll fight over the same thing for no reason at all.
You guys get to rip one off right now, okay?
Rip the pink one, start at the pink, the bottom one.
Remember how you do it?
You do it from the bottom.
You can just rip it.
Let's see.
So you guys know that I'm not like as minimalist as Ashley.
I'm not as good as she is at it.
But the happiest I've ever been in my entire life,
seriously, was when I took my closet
and totally got rid of like 99% of my clothes.
I like felt so good and I felt so like,
man, just I was so happy with what I had done.
And it was when we like had,
right before I had left down to Vegas,
like I barely brought anything with me down there
except for like fighting stuff and things that I needed.
So I'm going to just redo my closet again.
Like I've somehow acquired like tons of more clothes
and you guys know like I like clothes and I like shoes.
So I'm gonna show you guys a little before.
It's like a little bit embarrassing,
but and I've got a lot of work to do.
But just so you know,
like I went from like a super big walk-in closet
and it was packed full of clothes, like every single shelf.
So this gives you like in perspective
of how much I have downsized.
But I'm gonna even do better.
Like I would be so happy if I had like 10 shirts
that were just different color shirts
and then five pairs of pants
and like five pairs of shoes max and that's it.
Like, and maybe a couple of jackets.
So I'm gonna do my best to minimalize this
and obviously like some church clothes
cause I need those.
But here we go.
Okay, so I'm pretty much done with everything.
I've got the shoes that I wear most over here.
Like my workout shoes, my just lifestyle shoes,
my dress shoes.
Got them over there.
My top drawer is like my jujitsu and fight stuff.
The middle drawer is empty
and the bottom drawer is just like all my ties
and church stuff.
And then I got like my files right here for work stuff.
And that's all the clothes I have.
This is what I'm gonna live on clothing wise
for a long time now.
And I got to stick to it.
And then of course I got my ninja samurai sword up there.
Represent dog.
West Philly.
That relieves like so much stress
because if you guys like,
I don't know if you guys are the same as me
but I'm sure some of you can relate.
You go and look in your closet
and you're so overwhelmed with how many clothes you have
that you just like don't know what to wear.
But if you only have five options,
you're like, ah, well, I'm not very overwhelmed.
I know I like all of those five clothes
so I'll just pick whatever one.
So as I was cleaning out my closet, you guys,
my first professional fight t-shirts
that I ever made for sale,
I still have five of them that are brand new.
So if any of you guys wants one, they're only $20.
And these are the shirts, they're still brand new.
I have five of them.
So if any of you want one, they're dope.
I have made like 300 of them
and they all sold at my fight.
So I've only got like four or five left.
So let me know.
Guys, what is it?
Poop, poop, poop, poop, poop, poop, poop, poop, poop, poop.
Can I keep you?
She's not a dog.
And the plot thickens.
Oh, I'm sorry.
He's a ghost again, huh?
Oh, I'm sorry.
