What a PERFECT birthday this was surrounded by family and friends! So grateful and excited for this next chapter in my life! Thank you all for the sweet birthday wishes! I'm so grateful to each and everyone of you!!
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 loves to share her creativity through DIY's and other budget friendly projects.
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!

I am just getting ready to dye my hair. I have a hair appointment tomorrow. I know that doesn't
make sense but I dyed my hair before because I'm just getting my extensions in and you guys
will see what I'm gonna do. Right now I do have extensions in. Obviously just a little short guys
um but we'll see what I end up doing tomorrow. I don't know how long I'm gonna go but right now
I need Thomas to take them out so I can dye my hair. Look at it sticking straight out. Why is it
doing that? Okay I'm gonna go down and show Simon and Cohen and see what they think because Cohen
last night said mom I like your hair long which is so weird like he's never said that to me before
ever in his life and he had no idea I was going to get hair extensions. He doesn't even know what
that means so let's go see what he thinks. Okay I'll show you. Oh my gosh babe I seriously love it.
It's long. I wasn't gonna do it all the way long. It blends so good. Ouch. You have an ouch? Go get it.
What? Do you like it? Cohen you're so funny. Do you remember what you said to me last night?
You did say that. Okay it's so fuzzy but yeah how funny is that?
Hey Simon. Is that a good different? Is it good or bad? Good? Okay good.
What? You gotta tell us what's going on. I'm having a hard time wrapping around
wrapping my head around how Thomas can smell so bad. His feet don't stink. This dude yeah right
is the smelliest dude I've ever smelled in my life. Why is that? I don't know I'm sick dude.
I could if I think about it I could it's just the worst thing ever dude.
You guys don't know what today is but I know what today is. Somehow I always start out with
you guys. I say you guys or you guys want to you know what I'm saying. Today is December 18th
which is Smashley's birthday. She's 30 years old but she'll tell you she's 26. I'm just kidding.
Happy birthday Ash. Thank you. Yeah thanks for joining in Russ. I really appreciate the support
dude. Sheesh. Can we just? It's not even open. It's already open. Well listen I tried all right.
I feel like I did all right. If you could guess what it is what would you guess? A box of chocolates.
How would you? Are you being serious? It feels like Russ the Russell Stover you know box. It is. Close
your eyes while you open it. Okay. No don't look. Don't open them yet. Don't open them yet. Don't
open them yet. I'll tell you when you can open them. Can I open them now? Yeah. Are you for real?
Let me see what is it? It's not a box of chocolates. It is not. That's an expensive box of chocolates.
Give me a knife. I don't got a knife. I don't even know what to think. Russ technically bought it.
I bought that? I just messed with him. All right well this looks fancy. Now before you open know
this okay. Okay. All bands are interchangeable. You can get any color band you want. I knew that.
I keep getting excited that it's another box. Watch there be nothing in there.
Wait did I just throw something important? Wait oh yeah I did. No I didn't. I'm okay.
Wait I'm confused. Comes with an extra band I guess. This is the sickest illest. Is that how you say it?
The illest? Trillest? Do I? I don't want to take it off. What do I do? How do you charge it?
Oh my gosh. Am I the only human that doesn't have an apple watch yet? Like I feel like everybody
has one. Does anyone know how to turn this thing on? Okay we figured it out. This is so cool.
Why did you get me this? Why? Because you literally said this to me in July. The only
thing I want for my birthday or Christmas is an apple watch. I don't want anything else.
That's literally word for word. I said that? You said those exact words. Okay then I guess it's okay.
I don't want anything else. I don't need anything else. Oh my gosh. I feel like so fancy you know.
What do I do? Okay what does it say? It's in another language. I have no idea.
Are you being serious? Yeah it's in Chinese now. Take a picture of it. Oh my gosh this is so cool.
Oh dang it. This is what I get for never updating. We'll be here all day. Are you guys ready?
Oh are you guys giving him a love? Someone has a message for you. What is it? They sent it to
dad's phone. Hello Hughes boys. It's I the Grinch. I just wanted to check in with you guys and make
sure you're behaving this season so I don't have to come and steal all your presents. I hope you
guys have a very merry Christmas. What? You guys are you being good or is he gonna have to come
steal your presents?
Santa to come. He'll be knocking on my door. Treat the old and the young. I hear sleigh bells
in the snow. Holding on to a bunch of reindeer. He'll be making his rounds. Working harder for
every year. When the Christmas spirit's all over. Do you even see this? I don't know if you can tell.
We are on the steepest road. Like we're literally on a 90 degree angle and Ezra keeps going fall,
fall. Okay now we're kind of flatlining. Flatlining. Not in a bad way. We're dead. We're dead.
We're basically dead. Let's see. We're looking for a house. Okay so forever ago I'm talking like
probably high school we would drive around the avenues in Salt Lake City and we'd go
it would be so cool to live here and we found this house that was for sale
back then and we always dreamed of living there so we're trying to find it and it's like the cutest
little house at the very top of a hill. Okay we just ran out of space per usual. There it is. I
told you. I told you. Oh my gosh. I synced it. First of all that should be in a Halloween movie. That should be but let's
show you. There used to be houses next to it. They've torn all of them down. Yeah. Okay look at that house.
Okay but look at this one really quick. Okay literally should be in a haunted house scene.
Look how cute that is across the street. You guys yeah this house was green. I think it's cuter this
color but we like it was vacant so we like went around and like peeked in all the windows and it
was just so cute. I'm pretty sure that same white picket fence was there. It was. Oh absolutely. That looks
like it was original. Wow. The squirrels. Squirrels though. That green that was the color of the house.
Like that's very green. What were they thinking huh?
All right we are home now. We had a little bit of a dilemma. We were down in Salt Lake for a reason.
Poor Ezra you guys. He projectile vomited while we were downtown. We pull over as fast as we can.
We had no wipes. We had no like towels or anything. We had some old clothes with Simon and Coen's that
we were going to take to like a women's shelter and so we had to just use those to wipe everything
up and the whole car ride home. That's like an hour and 15 minutes away as you can imagine. It
was like in his car seat. We like dumped water out. Did the best that we could but anyway we're
dealing with a sick kid now. Come here sweetie. Are you okay? Are you feeling better now? Yeah. He's so
much happier now. So that's all that matters. But my mom has Simon and Coen. Thomas has all these
tricks up his sleeve. I felt bad because he had plans um down there. I don't even know what they
were but we couldn't do them. We're about to go do other things. I don't know what.
Why?
They're lighting each other on fire. Okay hold on. Do I have to think of something?
You're 30. Probably right now.
Wait just a minute. Get some tongs. Get some tongs. Babe I'm a grown man. Babe look at the heads are
going everywhere. Like the tips are just flying off. So it's a red velvet cake with the cream
cheese buttercream. This is like the fanciest thing I've ever seen. Okay this is all the people
curious to smell the fart spray. Are you gonna smell it? No. No? It's so good. Look how many
people are out here. You're gonna cover wagon me. Oh geez. I can't even smell it.
I'm in the middle of it. It literally is the worst thing I've ever smelled.
Oh my gosh. Did you smell it? You didn't smell it?
I never closed out my birthday video so I just kind of wanted to do that but I had the best
birthday. I'm so grateful for everyone that was a part of that surprise birthday party
and also every person that sent me a message or you know just said happy birthday. I feel like
this entire holiday season has been so much fun. Like I think this has by far been the best
holiday season we've ever had. Like we've done so many fun things and we've just been surrounded by
family and friends. So this will be a year I will never forget. Thank you guys for watching
and we'll see you in the next video. Bye!
