We are an 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.
Together we have 6 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 (and 4th son) 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!
Good morning.
We are hanging out on the deck.
This is how Ezra loves to start his day.
And today it is very chilly.
It actually feels perfect.
It's about 65 degrees.
Very overcast.
And he loves it when the birds are flying.
Do you see a bird?
Yes.
Right when I grabbed the camera out, it got really windy.
It was not windy a second ago.
Oh, is it raining now?
Is it raining now?
This is seriously such nice weather.
And I wish that today was tomorrow
because tomorrow's the 4th of July.
And nothing is nicer than when it's overcast
during the parade.
Like, it gets so flippin' hot.
And I checked and tomorrow it's supposed to be 95.
So, we got a nice day today.
Not so much tomorrow.
He's trying to stand up in his slippery shoes.
Oh, geez.
Who's that?
That's you.
Say, Ezra.
Ezra.
Ezra!
Up and see what happened.
What happened?
Look what Ezra did, guys.
Can you believe that?
He knocked over my mirror.
And it shattered all over the floor.
So, I'm waiting for dad to come home to clean it up.
Mommy, I forgot where the mirror over there was.
It was behind the door.
Do you remember?
Isn't that scary?
So, don't step in there, okay?
Can you believe that happened?
That's crazy.
Where did you guys go last night with Grandma Porter?
You saw Incredibles 2 again?
Ezra, don't hit people with that, okay?
That's not nice.
Don't hit people.
Oh, gosh.
It's time for your nap already.
Let's go night-night, yeah?
Let's go to bed.
It's kinda dark today, huh?
We are gonna go take,
oh, you got your cups?
And you got your toys?
Good.
We're going to get my dad
and we're gonna take him to his doctor's appointment
and then run a couple of errands.
You wanna tell him something?
Make sure you see the unboxing video of the Underminer
before you go and watch this one.
Okay, they made another unboxing video,
which I'll probably include into this vlog, too.
It's raining a little bit.
It feels so good today, huh?
Okay.
Are you guys waiting for Grandpa?
Yeah.
The boys found these awesome coloring books at Walmart, huh?
Are you guys excited?
Who's this on the front?
Oh, wait.
Oh, that is Fire Jack-Jack.
Fire Jack-Jack.
But Fire Jack-Jack and the character even go on the model.
Yeah, you like, that's funny.
Simon, are you making it be fire all around him?
Yeah.
Yeah, because look, see fire, look.
Yeah, you're right.
Those are fire, huh?
Because he's Fire Jack-Jack from the movie.
That makes sense.
Actually, this is the raccoon part
because look, that's Fire Jack-Jack
and then you see all the children.
And this is what that is, huh?
Yeah, that's a raccoon.
That's a raccoon, huh, in a trash can.
All right, well, we're home now.
That took a couple hours.
Taking my dad, running him a few errands,
but we're pretty busy right now.
And something that I need to do is,
Thomas has a booth tomorrow at our city fair
and I'm fixing all of these business cards
because these are not really business cards.
I mean, they are business cards,
like they're supposed to be business cards,
but they don't have Thomas' information on them.
So I went ahead and got a bunch of, you know,
these label things printed off.
And I'll be here for probably the next couple of hours
sticking these stickers on all of these cards.
So I got my trusty-dusty.
I got YouTube pulled up right here.
So I'm gonna watch some YouTube videos.
Entertain me so I'm not so bored.
Is he so excited?
Are you so excited you've got to escape?
Oh, he had a shoe ready, huh?
Where did you find that one, dude?
That shoe doesn't even fit you anymore, bro.
Thomas just finished a bunch of tables and a bench.
That table, yeah, he did this in one day for tomorrow.
What, sweetie?
Yeah?
For your seventh birthday?
You want that for daddy's birthday?
An incredible two birthday party.
For you, come on.
Where you, oh, look at him, he's just,
where are you going?
Where are you going?
Okay, come here, honey.
Where you going?
Grab here, keep your back straight,
and you lift up with your legs and just walk a little bit
and then we'll set it in motion.
One, two, three.
Come on, walk, walk.
Keep walking, okay, head down.
Okay, take a big deep breath and let's go again.
We're almost there.
Oh my gosh.
A little bit more, a little bit more, you got it.
Don't drop it this time.
Keep going, all the way, all the way, all the way.
Don't drop it.
Come on, you got it, you got it.
You got it, you got it, you got it.
Woo!
Okay, let go.
Walk, walk, walk, walk.
Okay, there you go.
Oh boy, high five.
Only my steak man can do that.
It's all about steak.
Good job.
How do you know karate chop?
Oh, you almost got moves like daddy.
Kiss.
Give me kiss.
That's so rude, bro.
First thing I wanna show you, babe, come here.
Remember how I bought Milo an orange flower
and then I forgot to plant it?
Look what's growing right next to it.
Oh no.
How weird is that?
Isn't that insane?
Isn't that crazy?
There's just an orange flower growing here.
It's very orange in real life.
It kinda looks pink in here,
but you guys, I bought this for Milo.
That's the saddest thing ever
and I was looking for the perfect place to plant it
and then I just forgot.
Is that what it says?
Oh my gosh, it wasted $8, but I forgot.
I totally forgot about it.
We haven't been watering this area
because this is kinda just weeds
and I've just left it sitting here
and right next to it,
this orange flower is just blooming out of nowhere.
So I don't know, that's kinda weird, isn't it?
This pot, look how huge, you guys.
These are not what I thought they were, by the way.
They are not growing, maybe they are, I don't know.
But look at these petunias, holy bejeebus.
They're huge.
We have a bunch of squash and pumpkins growing in here
and I wanna show you how massive the squash is already.
Salamander?
Where?
Right there.
He's purple and black.
Okay, let me try to zoom in, guys.
I bet I can pick it up.
He's big.
That's what makes you think snakes are gooey?
Oh, he just waved at me.
Hi.
He needs water.
Hi.
Is that why he's sticky?
He kicks in there.
Oh my gosh.
Is it gonna start sprinkling?
Wait, I didn't even go show them yet.
Look in there.
Can you guys see them?
Yes.
They're so cute, they look like flowers.
But I have a camera, so I would be very mad.
Look at that.
We're going to line this entire fence line
right here with pumpkins.
Who doesn't like to pluck their own pumpkins
at Halloween time?
I think that'll be so fun.
That'll be perfect timing.
Do you wanna help me shred this?
Yeah, you ready to go?
Let's go inside.
Can't wait, bye-bye.
Yep, say, we hope you guys have a good,
happy 4th of July tomorrow.
Or today, technically, when you're watching this.
I hate you so bad.
Tell him I should turn the sprinklers on.
Okay, we'll see you guys tomorrow.
Bye!
Look at this cuisine we got going on here.
Taco Tuesday, 29 cents.
Boom.
You got one tomato too.
No.
Oh my gosh.
Okay, compared to my hand, that's like, literally.
It's like one finger.
Oh my gosh.
I've never opened one, but you opened it
because you thought it was a chicken,
because of the wrapper.
Yeah, that's why.
No wonder they're only five cents, right?
Geez.
