I like the way you and your husband have involved your boys in cooking. When anyone is cooking every one takes samples as you are preparing. That means good appetites. You both do a great job. I like watching you and Marks videos. Congratulations on the twin girls.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you so much! Mark was taught to cook young and we are hoping to pass that on to the boys. We are doing our best but are far from perfect! Thanks for cheering us on!

Good Afternoon Hamm Family ❤️ It's up to 85°F... a light breeze... the yellow ball has gone beyond the clouds ☁️ Happy 6th Birthday Blessings Everett. I pray your day was filled with lots of love, laughter, fun and wonderful memories 🥳 The Sample King is now the Salad King. So happy he loves his salad... of course the cheese is the star 🥗 Yum. That salmon looks mouth-watering 🤤 Pineapples... Mmmm mmmm mmmm... juicy... we just finished off the two I bought. Still working on the watermelon. Pineapples here go for ~$2 ea., while watermelon go for ~$5-8 ea. (round/oval) 🍍🍉 I'm totally invested in the bees and the garden 🐝 Glad y'all enjoyed your dinner in honor of Everett. Cold Stone Ice Creamery... always delicious 🍨 I like popping candies, especially in chocolate, and orange chocolate. I remember gold mine nuggets chocolates and gum when I was young. All the candies look yum. Nice gift haul 🎁 Your rustling of packages gained the attention of Ash. He jumped up onto my PC Tower to watch you on the big screen 😺 Cousin and Family get-togethers are always a blessing and so much fun. I miss the huge gatherings we had every summer in Georgia, one at my Grandpa's and Grandma's house (Dad), and the other at my Papa's and Memaw's house (Mom). I miss them so much. Awesome memories made 🥹 Apparently, your bees love raspberries. I wonder what the honey will taste like, it's color and viscosity. I pray they settle down and find their happy place so they're able to make enough honey to harvest. Plant more flowers, maybe 🌺 The garden is looking good. Can't wait to see your harvest. Mark had our greenhouse setup delivered a couple weeks ago, and the lumber and rock slabs for the foundation were delivered Monday. It's a slow process, but it's moving along. Still having supplies delivered or picked up. Can't wait until the Spring 👩🏼‍🌾 Wow, that's a full Gus. Nice to see the kids burning off energy and having fun. Are you playing Bocce? I enjoy playing. My set was given to me by the lovely Italian couple that lived next to my Folks. Made and bought in Italy. We used to play with them all the time before they passed away. When I married and moved away, the husband gave the set to me. I'll cherish it always 😊 Hi Miss Luna... she's marking the tripod as her's. She reminds me of our sweet lil Esther. Miss her and her brother, Elijah, so much 😢 I do believe that sound was of a kitty demanding, ever so sweetly, to be given a yummy treat 😻 Have a great evening. Take care. Yah's Blessings 🤗

Freeze dried pineapple are so good , I got to try another day 👍🏻

[@susanhamilton1707]

With the bees busy in the raspberries, you will get double benefit. Good honey and a heavy raspberry harvest. So exciting!!

[@joycehartman996]

Happy birthday Everett. I also like Mark's beard. Hope for Sunshine your way🌞🌞🌞🌞

[@pennykafai4645]

I totally get what you mean when you are pretty excited about getting a bit of sunshine. This season so far has been nothing but rain and winds. But yay this morning at 8.20 the sun is shining! Our potatoes are growing nicely but I think we need to harvest them because of how wet it has been and the slugs have found them 😞. Our bees are not enjoying this weather either- totally get that who wants to be out foraging on the wet weather lol. Hope Everett had a wonderful 🎂- I am sure he had so much fun with his loving family.

[@madcitywendy]

Happy Birthday Everett! I hope you had a wonderful day!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful day 🌞 Happy birthday Everett

[@shirleywarner8831]

Happy Birthday Everett. So nice to have the family there and playing with the cousins.

[@LisaApril]

Certain flowers like sunflower and lavender will give the bees what they need to make honey. You can find flowers that bees use to make honey on the web. I would suggest planting them near your crops or intermingled with your crops so that the bees pass by them back-and-forth while heading to the honey making flowers. I really like sunflowers for this because I really like sunflower butter and sunflower seeds. I wish you all the best with your bees!

[@sharonbryant312]

I absolutely love cold weather, I'm here in South Carolina where it is so hot and humid, I love your videos/family I think y'all have a beautiful blessed family and life , wish I could send y'all some warm/sunshine ❤️❤️ Happy Birthday Everit🎉🎉

[@foxxxanatos5409]

Happy Birthday to the Sample King! Watching you guys from Vermont and i thought i should recommend a VT product you guys might find useful, theyre called Darn Tough socks and they are actually guaranteed for life. if they wear out they will replace them! i thought that might be something useful with such an active family! love your videos!!

[@montananative9786]

Hi Lauren, you guys should move the hives further down where the sunshine hits them most the time.

[@AlaskaBoys]

We’d like to move them to where they get more sunlight, but that’s the best spot in our yard, other than the roof, and I don’t want to tend them on the roof.

[@beckyallsopp5695]

The weather in the UK is atrocious too. Just rain, rain and a lot more rain. Barely any sunny days. Very miserable. Hoping, like you, that September is sunny and warm. Feels like we went straight from winter to autumn this year. Take care

[@darciwaterman7824]

It's crazy how you guys are having such a cold and rainy summer. We're all dying down here with such a dry and very hot summer in Wisconsin 😢.
