I absolutely LOVE watching Mark and the boys shop!!! He is amazing! He’s the kind of guy you would love to hang out with…I’m 75 and he reminds me so much of my sons!
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. ❣️
I am so jealous. I really mean it. but so happy for your boys and for you. I never had a dad like you. you are a loving , caring father Mark. you are building good memories for youself and your kids. God bless you and your amazing wife for being such outstanding parents. congrats on the grand entry of your absolutely gorgeous daughter.
Hi Mark, You did a Great Costco haul. Love seeing Bennett with his baby sister❤❤ Very Sweet😊 Mark. It's GREAT seeing you snowboarding with the boys. YOUR doing a Fantastic job with EVERYTHING!!!! Lauren is Very lucky to have an AMAZING HUBBY❣️❣️
I love seeing how proud Mark is showing off pictures of violet 💜 I had tears in my eyes watching how sweet Bennett is with his baby sister ❤️ 💖 your kids are an absolute credit to you both ❤️ 💖 💗 ♥️
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 ❤
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!!
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...
I love anytime there is a new video but extra shouts for Mark at Costco and of course Baby Violet. Loved seeing you too Lauren! So thankful for sharing such precious moments in the NICU with Bennett and his sister. Mark - you are so patient and kind with your boys. Those Oreos shall be yours someday! And the herring LOL. Thanks for taking care of our girl. We love Lauren and pray for you all! 💜
Bennett meeting Violet was beyond precious, her holding onto his finger though did me in, but happy tears. Many blessings that she continues to get stronger and come home to big brothers who will move the world for her and protect her at all costs.
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.
The dynamic duo are at it again!! 😄 "Pick a good one, one that hasn't exploded." 😂 🐔 They are like two peas in a pod, they work well together!!😊 Such a sweet moment for Bennett holding his little sister ❤
You are doing an excellent job Mark. Great at picking up the slack, and keeping the boys busy while Lauren is with Violet. So glad Bennet was able to hold Violet in the NICU. Hopefully it will be a few short weeks that she is home with all of you🙏🏻🙏🏻
Absolutely cried seeing Bennett holding Violet…..She has grown since I haven’t seen her. Beautiful family and your husband is so hands on. Hope you share the other boys going to see Ms. Violet.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Seeing your son Bennett hold his sweet baby sister brought a tear to my eyes. Your boy's have had a long journey of processing your twin pregnancy and now to processing losing one and gaining one sibling. Blessings to you all!
I can really see that Violet is getting bigger. Very precious seeing her hold her brother's finger, too. And the Costco haul with the guys...squirrel...maybe getting everything they were suppose to (lost count) and so much more. Love it! Love your family, Lauren! Still praying for the family and of course, baby Violet.
I've never commented before but seeing Bennett meet Violet has me in floods of tears. Such a sweet moment. I just know she is going to be looked after so well by all her big brothers!
Mark is like a kid in a candy store shopping, I wish my husband was that way, he is an in and out guy, no patience, lol, prayers to you and baby girl and family, can't wait to see you bring baby home, she will be well protected with dad and big brothers for sure. God is good!
The Costco shopping trips are entertaining. The sight of Bennett and Violet did this old girls heart soar. Prayers continue for your family. Blessings!
Thank you sooo much for the Christmas card!! I even didn't expect that, because you have now a wonderful busy life with your family, specially with sweet little Violette! ❤❤ so You made my day; my week 🥰🥰🥰 Sending you lots of love!! ❤❤❤
Enjoyed the Costco haul. Great to see Mark and the boys snow boarding. Seeing sweet Violet being held by her big brother whist holding Bennett’s finger is precious and priceless. Thank all for sharing.
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.
Thank you for complimenting that gentleman on his suit in COSTCO!! I't's Lent, & l make it a point to meaningfully compliment, & do something extra special for someone each day. God bless you and your family. Many prayers as well!! Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻
I enjoy Mark doing the shopping. I enjoy his stories and reminiscing. He is an adventurous eater. lol You are an amazing dad Mark. The adventures and time you spend with your sons is wonderful, more dads need to follow your example.
Watching Mark and Bennet shopping is so funny. Bennett is a good shopper, checking the prices. The prices are so high its scary. Well done Bennett on your cooking skills. I wonder how long the shopping trip took 😂😂😂. Lovely to see Violet doing well all the best to Lauren xxx from Carol and Gary Liam ❤🎉
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
Oh my, I got a little teary-eyed watching Bennett holding Violet 🥲 I know you all are excited for her to come home, which will hopefully be very soon ❤
Bennett holding Violet so precious. Her smile to her brother awesome. Bennett and Mark great shopping 🛒🛍️ trip. Lauren you, look so happy, precious time for all of you. Mark is a happy dad showing pictures of the baby. Glad everyone is doing great.
Mark and Bennett’s costco visit is so entertaining, love the boys’ excitement at all the gadget stuff 😄 Violet is beautiful, sending Lauren and Fam so much love and prayers of blessings ❤
I think even after Lauren starts doing the shopping again, you should still have a mark & son Costco episode every now and then. These videos have been great to watch.
Great to see Mark is able to spend the extra time with boys since mom is in the hospital with Violet. Alway interesting to see how Mark shops compared to Lauren. Glad to see Violet is growing and getting closer to going home.
Great to see how the boys get on skiing and how skilful they are. Amazing how Bennett was so gentle with his baby sister, Violet holding Bennett’s finger. I’m so delighted for you all. Both of you are great parents and Violet is such a loved and wanted baby. God bless you all. Love and prayers from Ireland 🇮🇪💖
Mark and the boys to funny to watch shopping always talking each other out of my different things. Violet is just to precious. She is getting little bigger every day.
Watching these two shop is hilarious!! Dad is a big kid himself!! Violet is so precious…she will have all her brothers wrapped around her finger if not already 😊😊You are truly Blessed 😊

I really like seeing the interaction between your husband and your boys. He is such a patient loving father. He listens and reasons with them while supporting your collective parenting style. He’s wonderful. 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.❤ You and your family remain in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️🩹❤️❤️❤️❤️
