    Hunter you are an awesome dude. Handsome yet you don't let your looks define you. You are a Christian, fisherman, hunter and provider. You are a great example to your younger brothers and sister. You have a very witty sense of humor. Love it. A true leader. You are a testament to great parents and grandparents. As always miss V is so cute. Bennett never disappoints. His baking skills and the fact that he loves it so much. I see baked goods in your future for a long time. Great video Hamm fam !!nice to see Mark. Hardworking guy!!

    It must feel so heartwarming to share time with the kids one on one! I don't come from a big family but I imagine that being the oldest has its rewards and challenges. With so much change, it must have been so amazing to spend the time with just Hunter and connect. All of your kids are such wonderful treasures - so kind and thoughtful. Hunter is such an amazing combination of the people around him and he is your twin! Loved seeing Violet uniting with the pickle love in the house. She will be fighting Weston for that pickle jar before long. Thanks for sharing another day with the Hamms. I cannot express how much I love your videos! Prayers and blessings always Lauren. Until the next!!💜

    I can't speak for that specific brand of binoculars, but I definitely agree with Hunter that the strap to hold it would be awesome. We bought binoculars to take on our first Alaskan cruise. A neck strap is better than nothing, but makes your neck sore after a while. I assume he wants them for fishing and hunting. Being able to quickly grab and put them down is a real game changer. Go for it!

Also sitting with you at lunch with no phone is his hand says kudos to you and Mark. Violet is becoming so vocal and so much fun to watch. What a great personality ❤.
    Curious if mark and Hunter got anything on their hunting trip? I know if they did or maybe if they didn’t there will be a video. I’ve been praying for them

    After watching your numerous Costco trips I headed to our new one in Florida. Most of my shoppin was in the meat and cheese aisles. In our local Publix avocados were almost $2 each but in Costco I bought a bag of 6 for $6 and change. Less than yours but also less than local grocery, spent $374 with 1/3 of it meat. 1/3 cheese and olive oil and avocado oil and the rest stuff.

Also wipe top of base every time mine is nearly 10 years old and still going I use half toothpaste half whitening and I’ve gone from yellow to white again brush twice a day. Hope this helps

How I wish my parents would have said something like that to me . I know it's a little silly but to tell your kids welcome home is a big deal. I always felt like I was a burden fior my mom and she had better things to do then worry about her kids. That's why I watch your videos.

    I use the Cirkul bottle at work. That was actually a pretty good deal for the bottle and 8 flavors for $29.99. If you go to Fred Meyer or Walmart you would get the bottle and 2 flavors for $24.99. I also get Sweet Caribou’s salads for work. I usually have different salads every week.
