Dad U doing da best dad your boys are blessed to have u for their dad, how many boys on the planet have what u have 2 teach and learn them,,,awesomeness in abundance,,
I love that both of you are able to get some one on one together in the sun. Looks like you are both enjoying the beautiful weather and the fresh fruits. Glad you got to take a nap and are getting some time for you.
All the flowers and scenery was so beautiful 😍! So glad you and Mark were able to get away and relax , enjoy,and recharge together. The cat I think knew you were a cat person,so cute when it wanted a belly rub. Enjoy the rest of your trip, Merry Christmas!
This is so great that you got a kid free vacay with your hubby. Enjoy every minute of it! ♥️ Thank you for sharing your vacation with us! Also, I think Nibbles the kitty really liked you. 🤣
I'm so excited for you two! A get a way at Christmas time, how romantic! I bet the warm weather felt so good!! Living in Southern California, we just had about a week of cold & rain, and the skies are blue once again! I really enjoyed the cold, warm cozy clothing & blankets, hot tea & cocoa, curled up in the recliner watching classic Christmas movies...it was wonderful! Warm beach weather to rest and play, I'm so glad you had the opportunity to do it!!! 🌼
You needed the opposite, your week of rain and cozy sounds just perfect! We are enjoying the sun and warm, it will help us embrace the rest of the cold and dark winter. Merry Christmas and thank you for being here!
It's fantastic that you both managed to get a break from the cold and busy life you live. I must say the sunshine looks so inviting. Enjoy yourselves and have a wonderful time. Sending love 💞
Thank you! It was a lot of arranging to make it happen but I am so glad I did it. The sun and warm have been so nice and just a few days to unwind. I will be excited to go back home and enjoy Christmas! Thank you so much for watching!
Aloha Lauren, I'm so happy to see you taking some time for yourself. Being a great mom and loving wife can be very time consuming and you do it all very well.Have a wonderful time and take it easy for a few days.
Thank you so much Robin! I really do appreciate some time to recharge so I can be the best wife and mom possible. Thanks for the encouragement, it goes a really long way. Merry Christmas!
I am a huge fan of This Alaska life. Been following for the last 1 year and a half at least. Had time to watch some older videos from 2022. Enjoyed the Hawaii trip. Boys so young. Looking forward to watching the older videos now. ❤️ Such a wonderful family to follow. And learning a lot about fishing and hunting from Mark.
What a wonderful surprise, we get to go Hawaii today. My hands are frozen in Illinois today ,29 degrees. So like a Good Christmas Lauren Elf, a perfect surprise. I loved the lead up to our Destination. I didn't get the Hang Loose sign until second time watching. And a Starbucks Cup and a gift card? How much fun. By the way Mark, I loved that you were going to the Band reunion, I actually said " I didn't know Mark was in a Band". Thanks for the peaceful walk. It was beautiful. And eating your papya with lime, you said mmmmm extra long. Mark, I loved that watch description. Super cool. And Gary loved the huge Sea Turtle. While Lauren showed us her beautiful painted toes basking in the warm sand. I can't wait to see what we are going to do next. Thanks Lauren and Mark. Hopefully we get to hear the great Hawaiian Christmas Song.
I’m glad you caught my joke about playing in a band! 😂. I have many talents, but music is NOT one of them unfortunately. The watch has been awesome! Very helpful as I’ve been diving every day her. It recorded my new personal best depth of 103’ yesterday!!!! 🤙
Hello Marcella and Gary! We are finally thawing out a little in the sunshine. It will help us enjoy the rest of the cold and dark winter. We have been doing lots of swimming, walking, and just relaxing. Exactly what this tired mama needed! Thank you so much for being here, we are extremely grateful! ❤️Aloha!
Soak up some sunshine for us!!! That water and sand looks soooo inviting!! I'm jealous that you're enjoying the sunshine as i suffer in the rain 😂😂 Have fun!!!
It looks so nice! Fun to get away without kids for a little bit! Way less stressful traveling without them. 😅 it would be cool to see some diving content if you film any… 🙂
Awww what a blessing to go and to spend some quality time with each other and relaxing and having fun and Thank you Thank you for sharing and letting me to enjoy your videos, y'all are absolutely 💯 amazing Happy People family ❤❤❤💜🥰🥰
I hope you get to go one day, you will love it. Hawaii is my happy place, especially in the middle of winter. Just a few days does the trick. Merry Christmas friend, we’re so grateful you’re here!
Aloha, We all love our children with all our heart but it's nice to have a little child free time /kids are in good hand and enjoy each other's company. Bonus you get to do it with sun, sand, and ocean therapy. Maui is really expensive but you can make the best of it and COSTCO is the way. Lol P/s don't forget to try a POKE BOWL
Aloha! We really are having a nice time and so are the kids! Win/win! I think it is good to be apart some so we all remember how much we like to be together. Merry Christmas!
I decided not to fight it and just let him have fun making his own breakfast. He was really enjoying the extra jams leftover from our church Christmas breakfast. 👍
We are really having a wonderful time. Thank you so much for being here. The sun and warm has been so nice, it will make the cold and dark more bearable!
So funny! I missed your last video and when you and mark were walking into Costco in shorts my thought was, “oh good lord, is this what they are talking about with climate change????” . Enjoy yourselves and God bless you and your family☺️
Well aren't we full of surprises, l am so glad you and Mark are taking a break to recharge your batteries it is so well deserved! High prices due to Covid, oh dear it never ends does it. Did you hurt your finger Lauren? You will have to warn Everett's future partner that the way to his heart is through his stomach, he wants all the jams😁. Hope this week of relaxing and warm sunshine fills your cup up. The pineapple 🍍 looked divine. Thankyou for sharing ❤
Yes! That kid loves anything sugar...jams and cookies!!! We really are recharging, and it was so needed. I had a tiny cut on my finger but it was on the knuckle so it kept getting bumped so I put on a bandaid. All better now. We have been loving the local fruit and juices! Thank you so much for being here! ❤️
Glad you got to go. It is BEAUTIFUL!! But the prices, WOW can't do it. Went in 2009. Stayed on Ford Island. Where all the sunk ships are. The next year I went to Japan to babysit my grand daughter. Took the same amount of money to both places. Had none left in Hawaii, brought back $600 from Toyko.
The prices can be quite expensive! We try to keep it low key by shopping at Costco and just enjoying the beaches. Thank you so much for watching, merry Christmas
Hi Lauren This Alaska Life! Good to see grandma babysitting the boys! Grandma has a big fluffy cat. Does Luna enjoys playing with her cat? Hunter looks like grandma! Congratulations on your trip to Hawaii! Hawaii has a beautiful clean beach! Good to see you're relaxing and Mark scuba diving. The turtle is big and beautiful! The shrimp dinner looks fresh and so delicious! Nibbles is a pretty cat! The pineapple looks very fresh and delicious! Another great video!
Hello Bernice! Mia is old and doesn’t much care for Luna but after the initial shock they usually get along. We are having a very nice time, thanks for watching! Merry Christmas
Here your vacations are to Hawaii and I'm like Jesus Please take me back to Alaska. I want a white Christmas!! It's been In the upper 40s and 50s so far!! And NO SNOW IN SIGHT
Aloha Lauren, how exciting that you’re in Hawaii fun fun fun. Oh my goodness seeing that turtle 🐢 was so cool 😎 now you getting your pedicure makes sense now 😁 my heart stop beating for a second at the prices of how much the lunch cost. It look delicious though. I love that you went to Costco there too enjoy, relax, rest & have a beautiful week there 💜
Aloha Kim! We are having a wonderful time! The price of the tacos made our heart stop too! Made our trip to Costco even more compelling! The turtles are my favorite, I get excited every time I see them! Merry Christmas friend!
