    I love watching Lauren shop and caring for her home and family,but it has been so great seeing Mark and her sons stepping up and taking care of her and baby...Mark is definitely the rockstar when it comes to being the best husband and father ever,,,,MY belief when raising our son was to be his parent first but always his friend...he is still the greatest son ever...the kind of relationship Mark and Lauren have with their kids....well rounded family...the baby is beautiful...

    The best Costco run yet! Mark and Bennett were so natural, relaxed, and enjoyed happy, fun banter. They were so laid back with shopping, trying new foods, and purchasing what they wanted. Mark and Bennet, you made the trek SO enjoyable, and Mark, hopefully you found your Oreos! Life is short, so remember to be good to yourselves! - Lauren, you are blessed to have so much time with Violet; she is absolutely precious! She chose her family well. ❣️

    Part 2- What a beautiful sight to watch the first meeting of big brother holding his new born baby sister for the first time! Then to end the video with Dad taking all of his boys snow boarding to end the day was so wonderful to watch! A perfect ending to a beautiful day!! Thank you for sharing your family with all of us on the internet!!

    The picture of baby Violet holding Bennett's finger brought tears of joy. Violet is all set up having 4 big brothers to watch out for her! So sweet. I absolutely love watching Mark and the boys shopping. Especially when their eye catches sight of something and it like..."wait, ooh a squirrell!" So cute and funny. It is so a guy thing!! Great job, Mark and Bennett!! Lauren, you are looking great ❤

    I was tearing up watching Bennett holding Violet. That was such a special moment between the two of them. The way Bennett looked at her lets you know how much that time meant to him. Mark is so good with your boys. Your family is amazing! It was really neat to see the Alaskan landscape while they were driving.

    One of the big German towns in Missouri is Hermann Mo. it's about an hour East of where I live.
    Seeing baby Violet hold her brothers finger made this old country woman mist up...She smiled becuz she knows she already has him wrapped around her little finger.
    Much Love from Mid Missouri

    Mark your enthusiasm for life and the life you’re living is evident in the way you speak and the way you talk and teach your boys when you are doing things with them. Being present in their every day life and making sure they know they are loved. Seeing Alaska was one of my dreams of things I would like to accomplish, I know now it won’t happen but I get to see and learn about it through you and your infinite knowledge of your state.

    I used to love getting a caesar side salad and baked potato at Wendy's. They no longer have the small side salads on their menu. Their small 99 cent potatoes now cost $3.99 here! Unreal. They DO make one of the best chili's though. My home chili is better, but Wendy's comes in a close second.

    Thank you for sharing Bennet’s first meeting with his baby sister! He was so sweet and seemed to fall in love with her while we watched. Your interaction with him as he holds her for the first time was magical. You can see how much you love them both. And, you seem to be relaxing a bit and are able to enjoy Violet and Bennet so much. It’s wonderful to see. Thank you again for sharing.❤
