XL Costco Shopping Haul $$$ + Bacon Wrapped Salmon Poppers & Backyard Sauna Update

[@Kazacks9602]

You so don’t need to explain your reasoning for what you bought your family. No one should say terrible things about your grocery haul. Your family is so beautiful! Love from Australia 🇦🇺 🤍💛🩵💚💗

[@sandraward116]

..everybody thinks they're your judge..but what does the inside of their house look like..?.. ..spiritually and physically... 😉💜😉

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Oh that’s a shame, but you do you. It has been so beautiful to have grandma and grandpa bond with their last grandchild. It has brought my parents so much joy to get to be a big part of her life. I wish you well Bex

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thanks for the love and support, it means a lot.

[@laurenmussler158]

I love the way you’re raising your sons. Teamwork, spiritually, they seem like we’ll adjusted kids. I 💕 your channel.

[@Yaya2214CJ]

​@@Bex-rg8pj But yet you felt the need to be rude and comment. You know this isn't an airport so you didn't need to announce you departed. No one cares.

[@madcitywendy]

Your children are a joy. I’m sure I’ve commented before that I work with families in conflict/crisis. I often cry watching your videos because I wish all children had the great parenting your children have.

[@robynhayward]

@@madcitywendy yes!!! 👏👏👏 agree 1000%

[@nikkihole2481]

I'm glad someone in grate authority really see,s what I see I also cried as my life was no where near anything like this . That is what brought me to be addicted to her beautiful family. I just love them all

[@sharonbibby7835]

Good to see Gary as he's been missed 💗 A Costco shopping trip with the Sample King 👑 today is a good day 👍🇬🇧

[@brilliantbutblue]

Seeing the sample king in the thumbnail feels like old times before Everett started school and he was your little shopping buddy. 😊

[@toniried1897]

I love famous Dave's cornbread mix . Here in Indiana it is a good restaurant

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

It was so fun to have him along again. We really had the best time together!

[@mimi0424]

I love when he gets to Sample everything! ❤

[@marykoufalis7666]

I can't believe as I was reading your comment she picked up Dave's cornbread..lol. The timing of it all.​@toniried1897

[@marykoufalis7666]

​@toniried1897 I can't believe as I was reading your comment Lauren came across the Dave's cornbread.. The timing of it all .lol..

[@Jennifer62389]

Glad to see Gary back, missed him in your Costco runs.

[@amyburl3826]

I started watching your KZbin channel before you even had 10,000 subscribers and look at you now! You’re a celebrity in Alaska, it’s amazing how many people know you now. 🎉🎉 congratulations. What a journey ❤

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

It is still surreal every time someone recognizes us. I love meeting viewers in real life, makes it all seem more real.

[@robynhayward]

I love how friendly yall always are with the staff... Sometimes little interactions like that can really make someones day, and it goes both ways. ❤️✌️

[@ruthwarren8685]

I love the pink flower fleece….I wonder if they will have it here in our Georgia Costco? I’m so impressed…Bennett made bagels?! I always enjoy your Costco videos. ❤️

[@lorrainesherred6458]

Love seeing the sample king again. Soon violet will be the sample queen.

[@catherineparr5489]

Yes 🎉Yes 🎉 Yes The Sample King is Baaaaak . !!!!! Made my day , he is totally honest with his reviews ❤❤❤❤ . So happy to see Gary 💕. It was lovely that you met so many friends of your channel.

[@dianaturley475]

Another great video. I just love how nice you are when you meet people who watch your videos. You are such a genuine person nothing fake about you. Extremely friendly an kind to everyone which I just love. The sample king had to be full after all he had today! He was just so cute. Mark has really made progress on the sauna since the last video; I’m sure you all will love it once it gets really cold

[@cathyrobinson8667]

It was great to see the Sample King back in action. He has really grown so much. So smart. Good to see Gary too.

[@LoriG75]

Lol, you just taught this grammie something I never knew. My granddaughter, who lives with me, is the same age as your little guy and requests to sit in the cart from time to time, but I cannot lift her in. I never knew you could lift the front part of the cart to let them crawl in! Thanks so much. She will be soooo happy now! ❤

[@rosemarymccartney7934]

I know. My daughter taught me when I could no longer pick up my grand babies. Nice and easy and keeps them happy.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

So glad you found it helpful!

[@Judy.LoveandLightAlways]

Big Hug's from Australia Everett, Lauren, Mark, Hunter, Bennett, Weston, baby Violet. And "Maggie in the arm's of the Angel's" and of course "luna" will be watching in the morning. Kindest thoughts from Australia. Hug's to your mum and dad too. ❤🙏🦋🐞🌻🦜🕊🦅💝💙💙💙💙💙💓👼😻

[@katiehull2590]

I love how seriously the sample king takes his ratings. Such a beautiful family.

[@DonnaLeonard-q5u]

Great video today, this family is so down to earth and spiritual, they have had many ups and downs just like all of us, and they are still including us in their everyday life, staying true to themselves ,I love this family thank you!💜❤️❤️💜

[@lorrainesherred6458]

Great to see Gary again. Was wondering where he was

[@kerriirvin5206]

Great video, thanks for sharing 🦋

[@nannypat6520]

Great to see Gary🎉 EVERETT Asks the Best Questions! I’m always amazed at his level of attention to detail. ❤

[@annaking9213]

I love your boys. Happy to have Everett shopping with you. Nice to see him.

[@DinelleJeanes]

Seeing you and the Sample King spending time together doing the groceries was so cute.

[@madisonstrauser1822]

Ooohhh nothing better than a Saturday morning seeing a shopping haul!!! ♥️ have a fantastic day!

[@allanaburton650]

I had been wondering where Gary had been,it was great to see him 🌸

[@VickiMcCormick-jf5pe]

Oh it was priceless to see how happy Mark was. I'm so excited for him. I love watching the back ground. The kids are so funny. Loved watching Everett dancing.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@betheurich7790]

How cool to see the sample king back at work❤❤❤

[@lindamartin7580]

What a great haul and time spent with the ‘sample king’! Busy life there in Alaska. Sauna looks professional! Way to go Hamm family! Always a pleasure to join you! Have fun at the conference!🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@pattaylor8955]

What a great video. First of all the wrapping paper at Costco is great. It is thick and doesn’t rip and you get 6 different designs. It lasts me years. Love the hauls today and meeting some of your friends. The sauna is looking amazing. Have fun at the KZbin conference. You deserve a break from everything !!!! Love to you and your family ❤❤❤

[@jacquelinecasey1361]

I don’t like to comment on children but Everett is such a personable and adorable buy. Love his ratings too.😊

[@kimwells7800]

I agree, NO NEED to explain what you bought. It's your family....your money! I love your family, you have great boys and a beautiful baby girl. Please tell the "Sample King" it was wonderful to have him back in today's video! God bless you and your sweet family! ❤

[@lindajohnson8347]

oooo myyy goodness Baby Violet looks just like Everett she is his twin for sure soooo adorable

[@heathermiddleton4958]

My goodness. Violet is the picture of Everett.

[@karenkuhr5698]

It's going to be fun to see if she continues to be Everett's little Mini-me...lol

[@alleycat8270]

My gosh! Haven't watched in a while but now I have a lot to catch up on! Last time I watched you were opening baby gifts from your P.O. box! Now there's Violet, the hauls, the boys and everything!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@kate_700]

I used to shop at this specific Costco every week. I have even seen you there! We are an Army family and we recently PCS'ed, so we aren't there anymore but we do plan on moving back as soon as we can. I love keeping up to date on all things Alaska through you. I also love seeing all of the familiar Costco employee faces. :)

[@sherrysmith9820]

Good morning from Montana it's great seeing Mr Everett doing like he loves sample king 👑

[@robyn7287]

I think Everett had lunch and dinner today and he enjoyed everything, well nearly.😂 the fleece lined pants look good. I’m a grandma and have been blessed with 5 . They are all very different and so much a part of my life. I think it is wonderful that your parents visit every year and spend quality family time together. ❤

[@charlenecapronloomis3395]

That is so awesome you can share this memory together. You have all been thru so much. God can lift you all. Best wishes early.

[@Hrobboro]

I'm behind!! So enjoyed you and lil man shopping! He reminds me of my son when he was younger, ALWAYS had to get the samples, he called it "sample lunch special" 😆 Thank you for posting family friendly content and also sharing your faith at times...such a breath of fresh air these days! God bless your beautiful family 💜

[@bonniesmith1179]

Your sauna looks amazing Lauren, and Mark has done an incredible job building it (he and the boys). They should all be extremely proud of their work. I somely cannot believe how much violet has grown and how big she has gotten. She is adorable and that little smile of hers just makes my heart melt. This was a really fun video to watch, as yours always are! After watching you make the Chile pepper, cream cheese, salmon, bacon wrapped popper I was floored that they charged $20.00 for one at the State Fair, and I'd bet on the fact yours were MUCH better!

[@millaberg6395]

Harvia comes from finland. In finland we love go to sauna. Enjoy😊

[@lauracampbell7589]

Was missing the sample king and Gary! What a treat!

[@suewalters9822]

Awesome progress on the sauna guys!! I'm very impressed with the quality. Lauren, my favorite corn bread is Famous Daves! Your shopping trip with the sample king was fun. Have a great weekend!!

[@traceykillam1658]

I'll try this again. It is great to see you and Everett shopping together again. Schopl sick hit Wilyen this week. Sore throat, headache, and 101.4 F fever. It lasted 2 days. Thank you for all the great videos Lauren. Hugs and Love from Manitoba.❤❤❤

[@karenwood8300]

I love your new fleece jacket. Looks perfect💕

[@marywells1197]

Great job on the sauna Mark and guys! That will be a nice place to hang out at and relax!

[@reneegranger284]

Great haul. And you were able to get some things you will actually use and needed. Violet is so sweet, she has the cutest smile.

[@Sarahchip]

Niceeeee almost an hour long video!! I have to have something on while I’m working so this is nice to have in the background ❤

[@LoriG75]

Nice to see Gary and your other friends! Glad he’s healing well and back at the store. I love friendly people 😊

[@katieculpepper2927]

I freeze greek yogurt in my ninja creami pints! I normally just buy the vanilla flavored one (but I still add a little splash of vanilla extract) and then a little milk. When you spin it it tastes just like the original tart frozen yogurt from the shops. You can add any toppings you want, and your ice cream treat will give you a great protein boost with low calories!

[@AmusedCricketHelmet-ph5hm]

This is the time I found your video after my phone shut down two years ago and I'm glad I found you all again the last time I so your video was when you all adopted that baby.

[@terrymeagley8196]

As usual a great video!!!

[@pennyweldon8587]

You do so much for your sweet family! You are AMAZING ‼️

[@heidrivandervyver4663]

That fleece lined sweatshirt looks really great on you. i love the flower with the colour combo. Really nice.

I always LOVE your videos BUT this week was jammed packed with awesomeness. Sample King was back and on point. We got to see Gary (had been wondering where he was, missed seeing him). And of course the lovely Donna was there also, So Costco trip was a win win. The sauna is coming right along and y'all will really enjoy it this winter. Much love from our family to yours.

[@loramuer9314]

Oh my gosh that Violet seems like she has such a personality! Cute as a button!

[@spider4648]

Suggestion. When warmer look up Martha stewart. She had gardens dig about 3-4 feet down and then used old windows tilted over as a roof and grew lettese radishes beans. Veg that r usually started early in the warmer states. It acts like home made green house. You can aave on green veggies and u can feed your poulty and hogs the left over.

[@sherylhaglin853]

Mark the sauna looks great; Lauren thanks for talking about your Hexclad pots and pans….I was curious what you thought about them. Another great video. Perfect way for me to start my day. Thanks

She is a great mix of all the boys!

[@wandasaunders5213]

Famous Dave's cornbread is good. We love the jalapeno cornbread with chili.

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

We loved the cornbread mix!

[@debbiedempsky8160]

Here in Texas, I usually mix some shredded cheese in with my cream cheese. Recently I wanted to make poppers, but didn't have enough jalapenos. I did have several wax peppers (not as hot for the kiddos). I diced up one jalapeno and mixed it with the cream cheese and shredded cheddar and cut the wax peppers in half and stuff with my mixture. Too messy to put on a grill, but they were awesome in the oven.

[@michellem9275]

Luvvv that white serving bowl set...such a deal.😊

[@ThisAlaskaLife]

I know! They were so beautiful

[@KatieScarano-q3r]

You have such a beautiful family and I can’t tell u how much I enjoy your videos. In the last year moved from Boston to Florida which I am having a hard time adjusting to - I put your channel on to chill. Not a hot weather person. Your family are such good people - I grew up in a family of 10 kids it’s wonderful to have a large family. You should be so proud of the person u r - kind faithful and talented.

[@BarbaraCullum]

Lauren, I Loved this video! I was tired just watching you push that cart LOL! SO Exciting to see the Sauna getting hot. Everett was awesome taste testing. Violet is so sweet! Luna was investigating, how cute. Love you all. Have a wonderful evening. 💜from AR.😊

Lauren watched the show and ran to Costco to get a fleece like you showed. Did not get the flower one the other one. Same as your store. I live in CT and lobe your show😊

Hi Gary 👋 hope your shoulder continues to improve and you make a full recovery. We missed you.

[@TonyaMason-ek9el]

Good haul !!!!! Be safe on your trip. ❤❤

[@susanmcmillan3575]

Love that you bought some things on a whim but they will actually make your life easier in the kitchen! Never apologize for spending your money on things you hope to buy. You never go overboard and that amazes me! I live alone with the male version of Luna and I spend more then you do! Oh when it comes to peppers, always remove the white membrane that is on the inside of the pepper. It is attached to the center where the seeds are. That center and the white membrane is what makes a pepper spicy and always rinse to make sure you got rid of it all. Those poppers looked amazing! I am going to have to try them!

[@patf.3776]

I kept waiting for you to say, "It's like a sauna in here!" Loved seeing the Sample King back in action.
