I love that your boys are allowed to be boys and can participate in sports and have chores. You don’t see much of that anymore. I love that they get out and enjoy the outdoors
I love that Mark has no issue with giving the older boys credit. How awesome. Now that is a great dad. Recognize that you both are great parents. The fact you are teaching them everyday, goes way beyond what some parents do. By the time my son was 15 he had a part time job, school with straight A’s and building animal cages. He had his own animals that he cared for, plus doing his own laundry. He got up on his own. He wanted to be treated as the adult he thought he was. Yes a grown man, sometimes working 3 jobs. He does what he needs to do to take care of his home and wife. One of the jobs is to help with a friend and his business. He is one of the Aquarist at a zoo here in Minnesota.
This video brought me lots of smiles at the end of a hard day working with families who are really struggling. You always lift my spirits and fill me with a sense of hope and purpose (ok crying now). Your children are such a joy. You have maintained your beautiful commitment to them throughout such a hard year. Thank you for including us in your life!
The blackstone grills are incredible. They are fast and the food is wonderful. Your family is so active together. Chores, shopping, cooking, sports. Whatever is on the agenda. It’s wonderful to see. Enjoy the weather. Florida would love a little cool off. Thanks for sharing so much with us. I love your feel good videos.
Lauren, I am noticing how much precious Violet is looking like her big brother Everett (one or two t’s idk). Thank you for taking us along with you and your family on these amazing Alaskan adventures. My bucket list destination is Alaska!!
I am very impressed with how much your children do around the house xxxxx you don’t see kids do this here in uk I had to all the work with y sisters but we still never aloud out the house so your Boys are SO SO LUCKY I Proud of your Boys and what they do for you and Mark
How cool is that....that Mark can take the boys several miles away for some quick fishing adventure 😀 So awesome to have a Dad that flies an airplane ❤
A great video! So glad you all are loving the blackstone and you sucking the air out of your food bags for storing those burritos is genius! Will be using that for future.
What a great life your boys have, I know from experience that keeping up with energetic young kids is exhausting but you and mark really have it covered. Great parenting skills. Enjoyed the video, so much fun.
Love your vlogs, Lauren! It's so funny to talk about how hot it is at 68°! I laughed when one of the boys talked about hot hot he was. It's been in the 90's here in Indiana with heat indexes of 100°! What beautiful weather you're having. I think the Blackstone may have secretly been a gift for Lauren? 😂 Enjoy, ot looks awesome. It's always a blessing to have extra help building structures. Mark is such a great Dad & provider. Excited for your sauna. I've never seen a "one wheel." Maybe you could show a little more about it? Thanks for taking us with you! Please tell your brother that his service is appreciated by his community & by me. Nice to see your brother and nephews! God bless!
YES!!! 68 IS PERFECT for summer temps. I'm looking at record temps here in southern Idaho 103 to 108. Miss my summers in Alaska sooo much. My husband used to fly over the inlet with a friend, catch a salmon or two then we'd have the BBQ ready for fresh caught fish for dinner. What a wonderful life❤❤ You folks are livin the dream
I am the exact same way, I don't like to freeze either though. I live in O.C. CA. & My apartment does not have AC...🥵 Snuggle weather is perfect for me, I wish it could be all year long!!! 🍂🌾🍁
So glad you got some well deserved nice summer weather. It looks so fun with the activities and spending family time together. Thank you for taking us along Lauren. Love from Ohio
Man, these boys live extremely privileged blessed lives. How fun living where people spend a fortune to vacation at. (Including me)😄 my husband and I will be in Alaska in a few weeks! So excited. Lauren’s videos helped me a great deal when planning our trip, will be visiting many areas that she has shown.
Little tip on the blackstone. The corners and some edges don’t ever get hot enough to “season”so a couple runs in take a blow torch to the spots that are still light and not getting enough heat. That way the entire surface will be “seasoned” !!
Lauren, I am listening to you saying that the kids think 68° is hot and my first thought is they need to avoid Oklahoma and most of the southern US since we have been hitting the mid to upper 90's and into the 100's a few days while feeling a good 10° more each day. We are grateful for the next few days of mid and upper 80's. Just thought this was a good laugh about how growing up in different places makes the different temperatures feel.
It's so wonderful seeing such a happy family enjoying being together! The children are blessed to be growing up and experiencing this! Y'all provide such a wonderful, loving environment
Me and my husband is talking about moving out of state and to Juneau Alaska , we currently live in Tennessee and we want a big change is our life for our kids n little family ❤
Oh my what fun your boys have and Violet will too when she is bigger. You and Mark make sure your boys are boys and get to do such neat things and it’s for sure they will know how to do a lot of stuff as they grow into adulthood. Love watching the meals on the Blackstone, we gave my husband one for Christmas and it’s still in the box 😢 keep dropping lots of hints but nothing yet. Love your family time, you are a great family. ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
I totally loved all the activities! I really enjoy Mark flying the plane and all of them fishing. What fun to have family around to help out and enjoy their company! Love you all, and hugs to Violet and here's to more sunny days! 🌞💜
We bought my hubby his Blackstone for our anniversary (May) and Father’s Day’s, he and we love it, along with his smoker from the year before, I love the summer he does most of the cooking.😊
Hi Lauren. If I were young, I would have a Blackstone so fast. Since it’s just me, I’ll watch you all use it. Fabulous. Cannot imagine children born and raised in Alaska living in Texas later in life. Violet is growing so fast. We see it via your videos. Thank goodness children time seems forever. If they lived/witnessed what us elderly experience, it would be too much. This is just a great video.❤
It’s amazing seeing all the different things you do as a family and how everyone is included, you all work so hard for what you have and work so well as a team keep up the amazing videos
Im glad your family is enjoying the nice weather. Its very hot here in North Carolina, where we have a Jersey Mike's, very tasty. Baby Violet is beautiful🥰 Enjoyed your video, thank you
I love that the kids think it’s hot 😆 it’s all relative!! Being from AZ that sounds downright chilly but I know it’s warm for you! Glad you finally got some good weather. Thanks for taking us along! You’re motivating me to use our blackstone more
You are definitely the epitome of an “outdoor “ family. Looks like Alaska is a great place for that! Wonder if if Violet will be a tomboy.. Take care! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰🥰
I received an email from you that says Goodies for you but won’t let me reply. Says site was taken down etc? It’s ok. Just thought I’d let you know.❤️❤️
Thank you for including the temperature in Celsius, much appreciate it. I’m from Australia and when channels post their temperature, I have to always google what it is in Celsius. Little miss Violet is growing so much. Looks like beautiful weather. That weather would suit me
Wonderful video I absolutely loved it so much what's going on it took me all day to watch it I was thrilled to see all what was going on in your family so wonderful and thank you so much for putting this together I truly appreciate it
As much as I like cloudy stormy days, I don’t believe I could survive Alaska without more sunny days. God bless your young mom energy. You’re such a great mom.
Here in Australia we use a product called " citronella" as a " bug" deterrent ". We are able to have it in candles also as oil in burners. Great video. Thank you so much for sharing.
We have lots of citronella products in US. Candles, cone burners and grow the plants. I don’t find it helpful though. Maybe stronger or different variety where you are
Loved the vlog thanks for sharing!!! A lot of fun stuff to do there. Happy the boys abd family enjoying the weather. Voilet is gettung spoiled with Grandma so sweet. Have a great time with Family. Love to all💜♥♥♥♥♥♥♥🐟🎣
Hi Lauren, Mark & kiddos 👋 What a fantastic life you all lead and brilliant memories and life skills your teaching those boys of yours… amazing 😻 and your little princess Violet has an awesome life ahead of her. Big hugs to you all 🤗 god bless 🙏😘🏴
I agree 68 degrees is perfect weather and sunshine...what a beautiful day at the skate park. The boys make skating and boarding look so fun. Happy that you are having good weather. Love the Blackstone . Food looked delicious.
Wow! How many kids wish their parent could fly them to a river to fish on a summer evening where it stays sunny half the night? What a youth experience!! God bless!
Another Lauren family vlog, so excited. 🇬🇧 due for 30 degrees this week. All its done is rain. Noisy plumber here so volume up loud lol love to the family x ❤
I love how you guys call the 60's hot and yet here its a chilly winter temp. So good to see you all enjoying your summer. Why did the boys have to release the first salmon but not the second one? And what seasoning did you use on the prawns?
It's so important for children to have a happy and loving childhood. Your kids have all of that and more, Lauren 🥰
You and Mark are doing so wonderful raising your kids. I absolutely love seeing your boys taking care of Violet. She's one lucky little girl!!! 😊
I love that your boys are allowed to be boys and can participate in sports and have chores. You don’t see much of that anymore. I love that they get out and enjoy the outdoors
Are you new?
@@amyerion9710 why? Because I commented on something they always do? I just wanted to compliment her. Odd comment

Such an interesting and exciting life you guys have. The boys are so fortunate to have great parents and an exciting life.
Look at Little Peanut….she is growing up into her own little person. Those smiles!!!❤❤
I just love this for Mark 😂 I love to see him with the boys you can see the joy in his face 😂😂😂
You're an amazing mom.
Thanks! Just doing my best
Your kids are having the best life ever!!
I hope they look back and remember how much fun they had!

Yes, south Mississippi would love a few degrees cooler as well. 95, heat index about 105. We live in a sauna 🧖🏼♀️ 🥵
Good morning and happy Wednesday have a great day
Couldn't believe how may fishermen were out on the Russian river.. Nice family days.😊
