Our cousin Erik made it here from California today and he'll be spending the summer with us! And of course, things always get crazy when Russ is around (haha). Thank you guys for following along and we hope you have a great day!!
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!
While Thomas takes the boys on a walk and Raiden,
I'm actually gonna go to the gym.
Look at that, do you want to go ahead?
So Raiden counts as the boys.
Yeah, Pickle's not going
because that would just be too much, I think.
You guys go have fun.
And I'm gonna go get the gym and go get some groceries.
We have this like protected little park area
that's like a nature preserve.
So you actually can't have dogs like out on the pathway,
but I just figured we walked pretty far
so I'm gonna let Ezra out to walk around and play.
And I'm gonna let the boys play for a minute
and then we will go back home.
Raiden, do you wish I could let you go?
You smell all the animals, don't you?
Okay, I'm out of shape because that was a rough walk for me.
And the boys just ran all the way home basically.
And I like lightly jogged, I feel like I'm dying.
How about you, bro?
How do you feel?
Give me a kiss.
Thank you.
Do you like that watering can?
Yeah, it's so fun, huh?
One of my biggest regrets of the remodels
that we've done is this wood floor.
It is very soft.
So anytime you like, like Raiden's toenails dentists,
every time he walks in here.
And this is whatever, I'm sure just now
he's been scratching the floor.
But it is distressed so it's not very noticeable.
Is that a dent?
Yeah, that's a dent right there.
All right, do you guys see these scratches?
Those are from Raiden running around in here.
His paws slip on this wood and then he just slips all over.
So we have a million little scratches all over the floor.
Gosh dang it.
Ezra, are you trying to get some water?
Yeah?
You trying to get water?
You're so cute.
Well I just got back from the gym.
I've been getting back in the habit of doing this.
So like last year I never missed a day
and then this year I've sucked.
I've sucked at it.
Let's see, what's today, Tuesday?
So I've gone Monday and Tuesday.
Last week I went a few times but I'm like,
I'm making sure I go every day this week.
And I start out with fasted cardio
and then I drink a protein shake or I eat something,
like want something out of my meals.
Like something small and then I go and do
the rest of my workout, like my weight lifting workout.
So I already feel better.
I have more energy.
I love how I feel when I work out.
I don't know why I don't or I don't know
how I get in the habit of not going.
But I want the last half of 2018 to be a good one
and I want energy and I want to feel better.
So I'm back at it.
But yeah, it's got me thinking like,
I don't know why we only feel like
we can make resolutions in January.
Because right now it's halfway through the year.
So I think this is another good time to reassess
what your goals were at the beginning of the year
and recommit to those goals and see where you are
by December, by the end of the year.
Let me see your finger.
You should have told me you always had spikes.
I was playing with you and then you saw a rose
and you shouldn't have told me roses had spikes.
I should have told you that?
Yeah.
I'm sorry, honey.
I thought you knew roses had thorns
or spikes or whatever you call them.
I stopped and told all of them.
No, all of them.
There are spikes everywhere.
Do you want me to put a Band-Aid on it?
Okay, come here.
He wants to show you guys his owie
but it's kind of blurry, huh?
Yeah.
Okay, let's see where it is.
Show mom.
Okay.
Tell me if that makes it feel better.
Are you all better?
Cohen was telling me how he's like,
but it's not fair because in Matilda,
when the little girl gets thrown out the window
and she starts like picking up all the flowers,
he says, but she doesn't get thorns on her fingers.
So that's not fair.
They are flowers, honey.
They're just different kinds.
That's the name of it.
And roses always have thorns.
So don't ever touch a rose.
Can we get one of those kinds of like a regular ones?
Just get regular flowers?
Okay.
I don't know if I'll do that,
but just don't touch them, okay?
All right.
I just beat up Russ,
but I forgot to show you guys who's here.
Old Ork Von Lichtenstein.
You guys, this is Ashley's cousin, Eric,
but I call him my little cousin, Eric,
because he's a little brother that I didn't have.
Like, wait, I have little brothers.
He's right over there.
Okay.
You guys, what are you showing Eric?
The lake.
The lake?
That's a big lake.
Yeah, it's huge.
No, it don't look huge to me.
I know, that means it's a creek.
Yeah, just a creek.
Yeah, they said they caught frogs already.
Eric is gonna take these guys on a longboard run
and hopefully one of them crashes.
Maybe we'll catch it on film.
We all know what happens
when Russ rides a longboard, right?
You guys, Russ has been gone for a while
because he actually has a job.
Show me the fish eye, dog.
Show me the googly eye.
Am I not already cross-eyed, dog?
Oh, come on, show me.
I've got something to say.
Give me a little love.
Go, go, go!
Yeah, do a little dance.
Where are the birds?
John, is this for real right now?
I know, but you guys are gonna go 100%?
Time out.
There's a tree.
Get him, get him, get him.
Come on, John, come on, come on.
No, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy.
Russ got started.
Not once too much.
Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy.
Let's get his, Russ.
I'm not done yet.
Give it 10 more seconds.
Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy.
What's going on?
Your nose ever bleed?
Oh yeah, you got a little bloody nose.
I just got a little kick-ass.
I'm trying to not.
No, no, one, two, three, fight.
Daddy's gone.
Russ' legs.
Come on, he's got me.
Say yay.
Ezra, yay.
Okay.
I use it tomorrow, even, tomorrow even bad.
