What a nice grandma. Thank you for spending the time talking to her patiently. A lot of elderly people go shopping, not only for food, but with the hopes that someone will take the time to socialize with them and stem the loneliness a little bit.

[@deenamaness6731]

This statement is so very true

[@janebain3402]

TOTALLY AGREE 🇬🇧❤🇬🇧

[@jessicasoriano3560]

Well said! Our older folks are often overlooked.

[@cynthiaoconnor7185]

So true! I'm retired, disabled, have no car and live in a very small town. My dream is a small house in a neighborhood with families where I could sit on my porch and say "hi" to my neighbors. Fun to think of but it's a pipe dream.

[@pearllee08]

If people would keep in mind, they will (hopefully) be elderly one day and think how they will want to be treated. It's so crazy how people disregard the elderly not even thinking they too will be elderly. Basically the golden rule.

[@cindynau8068]

I started crying when you were spending time talking with the sweet grandmothers. Violet is a precious gift from God. Blessings to you and your beautiful family!

[@kellyoconnell2169]

I cried too!!

[@agusguti]

Me too but you can tell that sweet grandmas where really enjoying and truly interested in Violet. And after they hear their story that grandma face omg she was shaken but she shown so much peace and kindness 💕. I think that probably that big hearts is why Lauren opened up about Maggie and everything ♥️

[@debbiec4224]

I got teary eyed also.

[@jolilly4264]

Those 2 grandmothers asking about your family 😢 they were so lovely and their faces when you said she’s not your first but your 6th 😂

[@helenlouise_]

Violet may seem small to you still, but seeing her head up and looking around and her legs dangling out of the bottom of the carrier is so different and nice to see! Go Violet!

[@vermontvoice13]

Such a trooper

[@missellie3110]

Sat sobbing at you talking to the older ladies about Violet and Maggie. Love to you all always.

[@montananative9786]

same!

[@user-fc9zf7wj1t]

It was nice you didn’t the time to explain to the grandmothers .. many people haven’t heard of anyone with your experience. You held it together ! ( I did not 😪) much love to you !!

[@dorothygabriel3230]

She looks like Everett

[@janemay8721]

Violet looks so bright eyed looking around at Costco. Her headband is so pretty. Us grandma's love babies! Thank you for taking the time to talk with them. You are so sweet Lauren. Mark is such a helpful father. Blessings to your family.

[@NinaAnisimova-ux7xh]

So wonderful to see beautiful Violet, strong, peaceful and thriving. Well done Mamma.

[@MrsIzzy52]

Oh those sweet grannies , when you said your 6th you could’ve just about lifted her chin from the floor but her sweet heart when you spoke about Miss Maggie & Miss Violet you could see the love in the ladies eyes, just a simple touch to your arm and she understood completely, no big words needed just love & empathy ❤ Miss Violet is so beautiful and definitely loves being in her mama’s arms. I would love to be able to sit and have a baby sit on me the way Miss Violet does in her wrap, I just adore babies , being a granny to 4 and the eldest 14 and the youngest 6 it’s going to be a very long time before we get to hold a baby again in our family. Bennett is a wiz at doing the shopping with you although your cart ends up fuller 😂 and he is so comfortable behind & in front of the camera doing the hauls. Sending all our love from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland. It’s definitely not warm enough in Scotland to warrant the need of air conditioning, we have it in the car which is good if you’re our driving on a warm day but not in our homes, I have a fan for hor days.

[@jamilasunflower]

My eye are filled with tears Lauren you are amazing....Mark I love the way you continue compliment her.....May God continue to bless you and your family ❤

[@nannypat6520]

As a senior I really appreciate your patience with the grandmas. They care and are probably missing their own families a little. We love to spread the love. Patience like yours is hard to find these days. Us grannies have been replaced by google. Well Done Bennett👍🏼

[@tarras3292]

It just warms my Heart to hear how Older Grammothers are so proud and Comforting towards babies ❤❤❤

[@janessaf7033]

I just love the two grandmothers. They were so sweet! I'm so glad they found you guys to stop and talk ❤

[@Mumof524]

Wow violet is 9 pounds hello family and miss Luna ❤😊❤

[@patspencer7079]

Miss violet was holding g her head up well before falling asleep. Also the 2 grandmas were so cute with the conversation.

[@belindastocktin5288]

You two were so kind and patient with the elderly women, even though one was intrusive at times, you are classy people.

[@shirleyperry8593]

Omgosh look at violets strong neck looking around at every thing. All the colours. So precious 💖

[@justashton255]

That whole interaction has me crying,so sweet. Also anytime sweet Maggie is mentioned its honoring her. You guys are all so amazing. Luna too!❤

[@erinvanvliet4420]

I was tearing up when you were explaining your kids to the “grandmothers” you explained it so well ❤

[@jojo-tz2ym]

Thank you for interacting with grandma. I'm a grandma also and I cant resist babies. My grands are 17 and 21. I am respectful about space.

[@barbhelle5481]

Love your family. Thank you for sharing part of your life. Violet now weights what my birth weight was. She is so precious. Your boys are great.

[@lizregan1949]

Well, this Costco run was not as exciting as when one of the boys went and talked you into things you did not need. Lol

[@jeriingram2570]

Oh Luna!!! Always keeping an eye on her humans. And always sassy ❤. Your boys are pretty amazing too 🥰🥰

[@CarFreeKC]

Aww made me so sad that you had to talk about Maggie at Costco. I bet that's hard to talk about. I got a little teary eyed for you.

[@Getlostandwander]

I think it would be bittersweet. I would want to share about her even it's hard.

[@brilliantbutblue]

So excited to see Mark and Violet coming along for the fun at Costco today! Violet's headband is beautiful. She's getting cuter and cuter 💜

[@devarshinichudasama3290]

You both Husband and wife are very polite to. Elders. . That is very sweet to listen to the conversation with Grandma. God bless you all

[@donnamacleod2947]

So nice of you to tell the story of Violet and Maggie to the two Grandmothers. It's great that Mark was there to helping with the shopping. Violet is absolutely beautiful and growing so much! You look beautiful Lauren! Great shopping haul! Blessings to you all!

[@michellewilson4815]

So nice to see Lauren, Mark, and Violet shopping 🛒🛒 together. Great job Bennett. Love to hear all the things you enjoy eating. Your a big help to your mom and family. ❤❤❤

[@DragonQueenx1]

The kindness of your heart was shining when talking with the grandma's. Violet is growing so fast it is beautiful to watch. Thank you for sharing.

[@kerrylynnparsons7879]

Sweet baby girl!!! ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@viviannaallen7316]

And THIS IS WHY You and Mark have Ssooo many subscribers. Your family is one and a Million! ThANK-YOU for being so KIND and LOVING.❤❤❤❤

[@brilliantbutblue]

They truly are very special and hard to find these days. ❤

[@nadias5192]

Hi Lauren It’s so thoughtful that Mark makes time to help juggle the grocery shopping. Violet is surely growing up each time and collecting lots of compliments along the way. When you made mention of 12 Degrees C . That’s our winter temperatures we are in scarves jackets layers of warm clothing. It’s great to see that in other parts of the world it’s appreciated as acceptable. Bennet you did a great job describing the load of groceries.

[@shirleyperry8593]

Hi there. Baby violet is growing so big. X❤

[@user-tv3wp5qg3j]

Violet is so pretty. Loved the way Bennett showed the haul. Precious family. ❤❤

[@tinagraham6322]

Bless those Grandmothers 🥰 Lauren you did so wonderful talking to them 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@shepfam6799]

Thank you for keeping that clip of the Grandmas is in. ❤

[@lornagray3021]

I loved the interaction with the grandmother's. Your son did so good on the grocery haul! You're such a precious family!❤

[@annemarie3636]

I am just amazed about the prices. It seems so incredibly expensive. I can't do the conversion accurately in my head from Canadian dollars to English pounds. When I shop, I seldom buy anything that is over £4. The big salmon wellingtons are £4.50 (feeds 4), but other than that, I can't think of other products (fish, prawns, all vegetables, rice, etc). The bread over there makes my eyes water, even if I divide it by 2. But very interesting to see!

[@montananative9786]

Those grandma's melted my heart and thank you for being so patient with them, my mom is 84 yrs old and she loves kids more and more as she ages, especially babies. 💗

[@veronicavanderver7270]

I love her little hair bow on her so sweet

[@rachelfrees1268]

Love seeing Violets face without all the bows around her head. She’s a beauty. Mark is a great man and husband, and you Lauren are #1 Mom.❤

[@ritabaker3113]

Thoroughly enjoying everything about your video. You have a precious family. Blessings

[@allanaburton650]

Great job Bennet you are a wonderful help to your family 😊

[@brilliantbutblue]

I hope Spring is here to stay now for our friends in Alaska 🌞

[@cathyrobinson8667]

[@jessicasoriano3560]

Once again the Hamm family is working together to get it all done. Love it!! Triple the weight is wonderful news! Violet looks strong and aware.

[@Ssdgmer]

[@kikomartin-pr]

Loved to see a video so early in the morning. I was sick last night so I woke up and went on KZbin and immediately saw the video. Awesome!! Have a great weekend.

[@Joy-qw3wm]

OMg ,that lady was so sweet. I love bumping into and chatting with older people ,they have so much care and so much wisdom to impart.I also love how much of a credit your children all are to you. You can tell they`re being raised well because they have good manners and morals ,just like their mum and dad.Enjoy your weekend and thanks for sharing another shopping haul ,i love them! xx

[@gingerdunn6590]

Violet is so cute she is holding her head up so well . Bennett loves being on camera he is good at doing the haul . Did he stay home with you when Mark and 3 of the boys went to the cabin and did some fishing. Prayers and Love ❤️ From Oklahoma

[@bettyruth9142]

Miss Violet is becoming the Cutest Costco shopper!! Nice to have Mark helping and the boys to carry it upstairs!! Yogurt family is just the sweetest !! 💙🩷💙💙💙💙🩷

[@rebeccaharper7859]

How wonderful it is to see a family work together.

[@karolrust2300]

Look at that big girl holding her head up!! ❤ I like how she tucked her face in for a great nap!! Great job on the haul Bennett!! I love potatoes and salad too!!

[@janetfaircloth208]

Always enjoy watching your sweet family. Mark is such a great husband & helpmate. Give “peanut” an extra hug from a grandma from NC.

[@jeandavies4550]

Little Miss Violet is looking really well & holding her head up taking sights and sounds in ❤ I cannot believe how expensive everything is in Alaska 😮

[@beckeywilliamstissier2618]

Violet’s getting the hang of Costco,good to see Mark and the way the boys carry stuff upstairs

[@joypayne5534]

Your baby is so cute and adorable and beautiful 😍 I love your sweet baby girl 🧒 what a precious little angel 👼 and when you were talking to those beautiful grandma’s it brings tears 😭 to my eyes that was so precious you took time to talk to them so sweet 🥹 love you guys 😊

[@jenniferw5087]

Now i cried when you were chatting with the grandma's . I love it when people take time to talk to others, It is such an important part of life that often people don't do.

[@cathypowell7254]

Nice seeing you again. So sweet that you took time out of your busy day to talk to the sweet Grandmas. Us Grandmothers love babies especially if we don’t see our Grandbabies that often. Violet is growing, she is adorable. 💕💕

[@user-fq9os5rf4x]

What a Little princess 👑👑👑👑❤️

[@luciep09]

So sweet the grandmothers were chatting away & genuinely listening to you explaining about your family. Bennett looked very happy to have bread again! 😊

[@cynthiaoconnor7185]

I love seeing Violet getting so strong and healthy. Plus, I always enjoy watching your Costco videos. You and Mark eating samples made me think of Everett the Sample King!

[@lindamartin7580]

It was so nice of you to share with the grammas about Maggie…I know it’s still tender…Blessings, Miss Linda 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@traceykillam1658]

It was great seeing everyone this morning. Spring in Alaska, I hope it goes smoothly for you. Our weather is crazy. We have had rain almost daily foe 3 weeks. And just to top it off we got snow yesterday. And it is cold enough that it didn't melt. We sill have snow this morning. Hugs and Love from Manitoba

[@jwt629]

I think of you every time I go to Costco. Raspberries were $2.59 at our Costco yesterday and strawberries $2.99 for 2lbs.

[@greenrockgarden2851]

How special for the Grandmas to stop and chat with you. You handled that gracefully. 💕

[@1Staggs]

Wow, that was a big haul !! Good that Mark could help you out there. What a sweet conversations with the grandma's, they were so interested. Miss Violet's cheeks are getting chubbier and even more pinchable. She is so cute !! ❤

[@julliefillippi8155]

Violet with that bow. How adorable! No wonder everyone wants to see her.

[@sallydunbar1683]

Those Grandma's were just precious! Great to see Miss Violet holding her head up so strongly. Always nice to have help & Mark does a fantastic job, as do the boys! It's 80° here in Central Indiana. Potted flowers up today and mowed the yard again. Enjoy the holiday weekend & I hope you're able to attend a Memorial Day Service. 🖤🇺🇲

[@user-no9nl7lb7t]

Lauren it was so gracious of you to explain about your family to the sweet lady. I'm glad Mark came to help you at the store. You are very blessed to have a family that loves and cares for one another. YAY for Spring & Summer. ❤ from AR. Have a blessed day everyone. 😊

[@djjamison6548]

Good morning on this beautiful Sunday morning. You have a wonderful family.

[@daydaydueitt6541]

It's so good ta see yall baby sister is growing and is so beautiful I'm sorry to say that my husband past away we almost made it to our 40th wedding anniversary so yes it's good to see yall

[@julievicary5606]

Violet is gorgeous she looks so much like her brothers so cute

[@sheilaflory2541]

I went way over on my guestimate - probably cause you didn’t do the wandering shopping like I tend to do. Your family is a great team, whether it’s shopping, meal prep, putting groceries away, etc

[@vivianechance-williams7770]

So are so lucky to have such a wonderful husband also helping and anywhere he can And Violet is getting so big❤

[@noreenp.9858]

I’ve seen some easy bread recipes if you keep yeast on hand when in a pinch for bread.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

That's a great idea!

[@Paul-bw6eo]

Love seeing Violet looking around! Nice strong neck,she’s a doll.

[@DorothyBrown-uj4te]

Good morning Lauren i enjoy your videos Violet is growing so fast soon she'll be sampling food too 😊 ❤

[@betheurich7790]

Hi Lauren and Mark!! I love how Violet snuggles against her mommy♥️♥️ Hi Miss Luna pets and scratches to you sweetheart

[@loriannkruithof2043]

Lauren and Mark I just wanted you to know how it touched my heart as you so very patiently listened to and answered the sweet Grandmother's questions about your baby girls and your boys so honestly, despite it obviously being a very painful and touchy subject for you both. I just think it was so very precious of you to do this and shows how God is healing you both and how Violet is truly a precious gift from the Lord and others see that. Of course Maggie and the boys are too... I love you all... ❤❤❤

[@debbiebousquet5677]

Hello ❤ Violet was holding her head up very good b4 she fel asleep. An yeah for 9 lbs it's a milestone when ur premie gains weight... 🎉 Good job boys helping mom & dad .

[@TraceUK]

Even every 3 weeks is shockingly frequent for a trip to Costco! For most people it’s a 3 monthly thing

[@theresabetancourt4586]

I don’t think that’s true for everyone. I live in South Florida🏝️🏝️. and I go once a week I do most of my shopping at Costcos and some at my local grocery stores since the prices are so high . In Alaska Costco has the best prices for families. Have you seen some of the other stores there ? They are so expensive Lauren has shown some of the other stores on her channel before, and my nephew lives in Alaska it’s crazy. 😊

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Because grocery store prices are so much higher, I do 95% of my shopping at Costco. It typically means a weekly trip for a family our size so we can have lots of fresh stuff

[@karenschrock8074]

Violet is so adorable! Your boys are so awesome. So helpful. Bless you all. ❤

Nice that you had a grocery helper again! Grocery shopping is a lot of lifting and hauling! I've been using my local Walmart shopping and porch delivery service and I love it! Nice that you took the time to speak w/those Grandma's, I got a little verge of tears when you were explaining Violet's birth. I can see how that could be hard for you. Great job, Bennett! You are a Blessing to your Mother!
