Goodness Mark had his hands full.
If you go visit AWP vlog you will see a portable frame to rest boat on to transfer to water. The wheels remove and basically the shape of two cross members and two longer sides.
Thanks for the tips!
Since you were talking about pickle and you said you like spicy pickle, I very strongly recommend you to try Indian mango pickle or Indian mixed pickle. I guarantee you’d love it.
I will look out for them!! Thanks for the suggestion!
You are so sweet and kind. I love seeing all the kids playing and laughing and not on phones and playing computer games. They are all so blessed. You have a wonderful family!
Thank you so much! I am grateful our kids are able to function with limited electronics. They sure love them when we have them around but they also know how to really play and live. Thanks for watching, we are so grateful!
Loved the plant book. Great Lizzy.
I will let her know Doris! I loved her little book too!
I just found your video today and was very interested in it, I worked for my parents two spring/summer seasons in a row in the Yukon at a gold mine camp, I cooked and cleaned the bunkhouses for the drillers, let me tell you, I was so she’ll shocked by the way of life up north, I was born and raised a city gal so when I got thrown into this life (due to my moms serious medical condition that had her hospitalized and unable to fulfill her contract) holy smokes!! I never worked so hard and at times without the modern conveniences and being hours away from civilization other than our crew I can honestly say I was scared to death sometimes!!!! I never seen a bear in real life before let alone huge grizzlies right in our camp! Driving on camp roads only wide enough for one vehicle with pull outs if you come across another vehicle approaching you, driving four hours one way to pick up food supplies and paying the crazy high prices!! I give you credit for living the Alaskan lifestyle
That all sounds so extreme. What an experience!! We enjoy the Alaska city life with little stints of camping. I am not sure I am cut out for what you experienced. Amazing. Thanks for sharing.
those doughnuts are good rolled in powdered sugar too!!!
Awesome! I will try that next time!
I love how you and your family live life to the fullest in Alaska. And the way you explained your upbringing and how you’ve embraced life in Alaska was so inspiring. It can be hard to experience change. The adventures and memories your family experience are priceless. What a fun 4th of July you all had. And Luna was the sweetest when you returned home from your trip. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Thank you so much! Can’t wait for you to experience Alaska! Have a wonderful day!
I can't remember when I've watched two long u-tube videos in a week and actually enjoyed and watched them from start to finish without wanting to fast forward.
Thank you so much for taking us along with you on this trip and giving us a great snapshot of life in Alaska. I throughly enjoyed every minute of it. It was great getting to know more about your boys as well.
Great job, keep the videos coming. My husband and I loved Alaska when we visited a few years ago. If my husband had his way, we'd move there. I can't stand the thought of missing my grandkids to do it.
Have a blessed day.
Thank you so much! These videos were beasts to edit. With all the talking and adventures. I know they were long, so thank you for the compliment that they flowed well and kept your attention. We will all need an easy breezy Costco shopping video after this 😃 Being bear grandkids is so important! Thanks for watching
I too am LDS it's nice you can take your children to the cabin often in the summer and family get together and have fun .
Some of our best family memories are made at the cabin. Time to disconnect from the world and connect with each other
I love how you send your boys to public schools in the hope that they can be examples. I think it important that our kids get a place to show their faith to other.
Thanks! Doing our best to raise good kids in a tricky world!
I love ALL the different kind of videos you do...they are l so good...you talked about having to just get in there an do things...I am 68 years old, still work, have been divorced for 30 years, when .y .o. a Dad became sick I helped take care of .y Dad, the. He passed, we .over my Mom I. With me since I was divorced and my only child...my son was married so we moved my Mom in and I took care of her for 11 years till she passed...there were things I had to do, that I always had someone else do e or at least some help
But when it all fell in my lap..you figure out how to do it and you do the best you can...thanks for all your videos and keep them coming...GOD BLESS STAY SAFE
Thanks for sharing your story! Things don't typically go as we plan them do they! We just get to figure out how to show up and make it work. Thanks for being here, we are so grateful !
You are living the life I wanted too!!! My Dad wanted a boy, he got me, I was the only one, so I went fishing, hunting, all the things, we mostly had wild game and fresh veggies on the table. As a teen, I was eyeing the Yukon and Alaska as places to settle down and raise children. Unfortunately, I came here as a late life single Mom and it took all of the energy I had to raise children here on my own, I love what you are doing, keep it up! I am living the dream through you (even though I am actually in Alaska now) 😉🥰
It is amazing how we have dreams and God gives us what we need, even if it doesn’t look quite like we imagined or in the timeline we imagined! Thanks for watching!
I love making desserts with canned biscuits. When my ex and I were together he was a gotta have dessert kinda guy, me nah. So I would mix some powdered sugar, milk and vanilla to make a glaze. Then take scissors and 1/4 the biscuits, fry them and toss in the glaze. He loved them and now I do the same for our daughter. God Bless y'all!
I love how you summed up our faith, beliefs, and how we strive to live as much like Jesus as possible!! I’m so glad to see you talk about being Mormon.
I know you don’t talk about it much but I think this is a great opportunity for you to be able to educate others who might be curious or don’t understand it by just living your lives!! Anyone who isn’t familiar can see how you don’t have stress, financial problems, relationship issues, disrespectful kids, while always staying busy!!
Thanks Dani! That is one of the greatest surprises of doing this UA-cam channel, we get to just be ourselves and people see our love of the Savior through our life. I always want to be a good representative of Jesus Christ, it has made me who I am! Thanks for being here!
The world needs more caring people like you and your family ❤️ Love the videos and such a good positive energy from you guys! Great job 👏🏻
Thank you so much!! We are doing our best but are far from perfect. Thank you for seeing the good in us, I am so grateful we get to share our life with all of you. Have a wonderful day!
Another amazing video Lauren...I hope I am able to see your channel get up to the hundreds of thousands of subscribers that it deserves xo
Thank you so much, that means a lot! It has been fun to welcome so many new people lately. I love this community!
Great to see t
he cousins together and having a great time. The flowers are beautiful Really enjoyed watching this video and personalities of each boy.
It is always more fun with cousins!! Thanks for watching!
Everett was just a sweetheart ❤️ the boys are so well behaved & kind. You guys are definitely raising them right! Bennett did really well!
I love them all so much. They are boys, through and through but have so much good in them. I am so excited to see what them become.
You are the best! You are kind, insightful, motivational, smart, beautiful and inspirational. THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU AND SHARING YOURSELF AND FAMILY.
WOW! You sure know how to make a girl feel special. Thanks for bein here, we are so grateful!
I’m always surprised how gardens thrive in Alaska. You have a great community up there. Well done on the run Ben and Bennett
jeewhiz you always look so busy . i know you must get tired of being mom in your world , it was such a blessing when my kids were old enough i could send the family off and get some serious down time !
I get little glimpses of quiet. It never lasts long but I know that is the season we are in. Thanks for watching!
Good morning Lauren and Mark and family and thank you for sharing your beautiful day 🌞 😊
wow your niece is an excellent artist
Yes, she and her sisters are amazing. I love hanging out with them!
Please tell your son I thumbs up and subscribed just for him!
Aw thanks! He is so funny! I think he hears other UA-camrs say that because he didn't learn it from me. I always forget to say any of that stuff. Thank you so much for being here!
Homemade donuts are a favorite of mine. The cheap biscuits make the best donuts indeed! We like chocolate frosting on top.
So good! I will have to try chocolate frosting sometime. I try to keep it simple but I have lots of chocolate with sprinkles lovers!
Thanks for your conversation on "Being All In." I've heard this phrase used on occassion, listening to you describe it in relation to new experiences or processes that are unfamiliar or not preferred made this so valuable for me. Thank you.
I love how you're LDS and willing to share on youtube. I have a coworker who asks me questions about the church because of a client of ours. She tells me "the client said that you can tell who is LDS" I told her that wasn't always the case, I cant always tell and here I am watching and couldn't tell. I came to your channel with your costco haul. Put a smile on my face.
Thanks! Just trying out best to be good people and share our love of the Savior through our actions as well as our testimony on occasion. So glad you enjoy being here!
I love watching you and how you model your faith and love for your savior. It's funny how we see things and pick up things just from watching people. As you talk about Matk going on missions trips I got the impression that you were LDS, but what made me think it more was the fact that all 5 of your guys always wear crisp white shirts to church and not just bright colored dress shirts. That always reminds me of the LDS missionaries on their bikes riding around. I love watching all your videos and seeing how you live and how close your families are. I grew up in Homer Michigan and I now live in California. I moved her 24 years ago.
Catching up on some older footage, my have the boys changed in the span of a year! The section where you spoke about the 'choosing if you are all in' mindset really resonated with me, and feel like it is something I will likely hold onto and draw back on in future scenarios and aspects of my life. Our lives and circumstances are completely different (single parent in rural Aus), but it hit all the feels. Thank you for sharing a small part of your families lives through your content. And thanks for saving me from boredom while stuck on strict bed rest following eye surgery (if i hold the phone in just the right position and squint just right im good lol)
You and your family are why I have I returned to church. Like you I was raised in the church but had fallen away even though I had a testimony, thank you for your spirit and guidance.
Sarah, you have touched my heart. I pray for you on your journey. Your Father in heaven loves you and I am so honored to have played a small part in you deciding to return to church. God works in mysterious ways and this UA-cam channel has allowed me to share more love and prayers for people than I ever imagined. Thank you for being here!
Awesome to hear Sarah. Thank you for sharing. 👍
Maybe some time when you go visit your parents in Arizona, you could meet up with the Paige family from This Crazy Life. They are LDS and moved from Utah to Phoenix last year. They have 3 boys that are similar in age to your boys.
Great job Bennett placing 5th in the 5k run and also to Hunter for catching the 70lb Halibut of the sea Great Job👍👏😃
Thanks Malisa! They really did some great things this trip!
Wow is it cold there - you're in a parka? You're such a sweet couple..luv your family..thank you for sharing with us!
It never got very warm on this trip. I probably didn't need such a big jacket but I forgot my lighter one. It was around 50 degrees breezy and a bit rainy all week.
I love that your family and your sisters family all get together for everything and the grandma and grandpa. I haven't seen my cousins since my grandma died. That's been years ago.
I' m new here on this channel and I' m enjoying your videos so much! I loved what you said about how you love Alaska, " your Alaska".You seem to be so wise for your age :)
Thank you so much and WELCOME!! I feel like I have always been an old soul. Thankful for this community who has show interest in our lives! Have a wonderful day!
@@ThisAlaskaLife so nice of you to answer!
it is wonderful to find another member of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints on youtube. i stumbled onto your channel and now i am subscribed. i live in South Australia, Australia.
YAY! Thanks for being here! We are so grateful. My dad served his mission in Australia so it has a really special place in his heart! We love our Australia youtube community!
Thanks!
Good Morning family 🌅 and Happy Thursday thanks for sharing ❤️
👋 hello! Have a wonderful day
Miss Luna miss you so much, such a lovely cat 🥰
I love her. She is the best thing that came out of the pandemic for our family! A cat was not on my radar but she has brought so much love and joy!
I really loved part 2 the aerial shots as usual were amazing, it was lovely to be a part of your week at the cabin and to listen to your philosophy on your life in Alaska 🦘
Thanks! Love playing around with the drone. It gives such a different perspective! Thank you so much for being here, we are so grateful!
Love the story telling so exciting that you have really learn alot. Love the ALL IN,,Great words to live by. Great video, I declared I though Luna said miss you she so sweet💞💞💞💞💞💞💞🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
It does seem as if she is talking, doesn’t she! I am so glad you enjoyed the questions and stories. Have a wonderful weekend!
God is So So Good♥️
Couldn't agree more!
@@ThisAlaskaLife ♥️
What a great time on that run! What a ginormous fish. The cabin looks like fun and even more so with a hit shower. Thanks again for sharing your experiences.
The hot shower is AMAZING! Thanks for spending time with us.
Camp was always a treat for my children, too. Our camp was in the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania. Not as much wilderness as yours but always a good time. I love watching your vlogs. You have great content & your boys are the sweetest! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much Joni! There is something special about camping and being outdoors with kids! Have a wonderful day
Thank you for doing these videos! I am a big lover of Alaska and love seeing your way of life there. I really enjoy watching them👍🏻💓
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed them!
We've made donuts from canned bisquit dough in my family too!
So much fun!!
I love bread n butter pickles
Me too. Not so wild about dills, not spicy at all.
My personal best 5K is 17:43, but that was when I was 28 and in the Air Force and in peak physical condition
What a wonderful lesson! Sometimes we have to learn it is all about perspective. You are teaching your boys to enjoy the moments they are in, what a great life habit.
Thanks Janice! It really is all about perspective and how you think about things. Thank you so much for being here!
You and your family are so amazing, i have seen all your vidoes and i cant wait to see more. And that you are a Christian inspire me to do more. I work in the salvation army.
Hi Malin! Thanks for commenting. I am so glad you have enjoyed our videos! Much love to you and the great work you are doing!
Haven't made these in years. When I took Home Ec back in 1972 (yes, I'm that old), we twisted the large pieces once before frying them. These were called buttons and tie knots (or something like that). EDIT::: Went to my kitchen cupboard to pull out my old recipe box from my 1972 Home Ec class because I was pretty sure I still had that recipe card in there. Yup. They were called Buttons and Bowknots. I was close! This recipe card is over 50 years old. I'm guessing they didn't have these canned biscuits back then. Our recipe took 2 c bisquick, 2 Tbsp sugar, 1 tsp nutmeg, 1/8 tsp cinnamon, 1/3 c milk, 1 egg, 1/4 c melted butter, 1/2 c sugar. Mix first 5 ingredients. Beat vigorously 20 strokes. Round up dough on lightly floured cloth covered board. Knead 5 times. Roll 1/2" thick, Cut with floured doughnut cutter. To make bowknots, hold opposite sides of each ring with fingers and twist to form figure "8". Place "holes" (Buttons) and "Bowknots" on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 mnutes at 400. When out of oven, dunk in melted buter than roll in sugar. Eat while hot. And there you have it. My 1972 Home Ec recipe for Buttons and Bowknots.
I love your videos but this was the best yet. Learning about your boys is fun. Luna’s greeting was enough to bring me to tears. Is Luna declawed? She is so well behaved.
I was interested when the question came up about Somers in Alaska. I watch the also but they don’t hunt and fish like your family and I also enjoy Simplelivingalaska also. They are more off grid.
I am in Michigan and we have some hard winters but have full four seasons.
All the best.
Thank you so much, that is so kind of you! I put a lot of work into these last two videos and I am so glad to see so many people enjoying them. When I was getting started I watched a bit of Somers in Alaska and Simple Living Alaska. I enjoyed what they both stood for and realized that we have a whole other perspective to share. Right in between them! I love living in town but still camping, hunting, and fishing! Thanks for watching, more fun videos to come!
That was such a cool video. Love to watch your adventures, congrats to Bennett fir his awesome run with Ben, and congrats to Hunter for his awesome Halibut! It was ginormous! Can you pleeeeease show us some ways that you cook halibut. Hopefully we get to see another grocery haul with Everet too before he goes to school. Luna is just like my Bea when i go away and come back. Luna's such a lovely cat, i love it when she meets you on the stairs after a grocery haul.....cat love is awesome! Love to you all from NZ in winter ❤️
We tend to do more cooking videos during the winter, so stay tuned for those. There will be more Everett but sometimes it is hard to convince him to come along when grandma is home and there are cousins to play with, he has told me “ I need the day off mom” cheeky little thing! Thank you so much for watching!
You and family are awesome 👌
Great video , loved hearing the answers to all the questions .. learn a lot more about the family and about the different things about your adventures . Congratulations to Bennett with his run with Ben .. and Hunter for his huge Halibut.. Wow ...what a catch ! Hi to all the family .. it’s great to be together !
Glad you enjoyed it! It is so fun to be all together. Makes the cabin even more special. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Lauren, I've really enjoyed finding out more about your brilliant Alaska life, it makes my Scottish life seem very tame. I've had relatively few adventures compared to you. I think I've only had 3 that compare. Around 16yrs ago I travelled to Antarctica via Buenos Aires and the Falkland Islands on an expedition holiday....it was the most wonderful experience. One of the guides was from Alaska, she worked as a wildlife ranger and was really knowledgeable. When I was doing the field work for my BSc thesis I spent a month living in the Post Office bothy(cabin) on the Isle of Rhum. Rhum is one of the small isles of the Inner Hebrides off the West coast of Scotland. I feel very lucky to have been there when I was as they were trying to re-populate Scotland with the Sea Eagle. They were very successful and now, 30 yrs later the species has been re-established and doing well. Third and last I walked the West Highland Way, a trek from Glasgow to Fort William. 96 miles of some of the most beautiful scenery in Scotland..great fun. This has turned into a bit of an essay rather than just a comment but this video of yours has made me reflect on my own wilderness experiences and how much fun they were. Keep up the good work Lauren and blessings to you and Mark and your wonderful boys xx
Thank you so much for sharing! Those sound like amazing adventures. I am so grateful you’re here and enjoying our videos. Have a wonderful day!
Luna was so happy to see you I just love those baby cats and that fish is unbelievable I know Hunter is so proud of himself he is such a good Hunter a little play on his name
A few years ago Hunter told me, " Mom, you should have named me Fisher, because I love it so much." I responded " I have a feeling that you are also going to love to hunt one day." I have met few people, even grown men, who love to fish as much as Hunter. It must be in his blood! Thanks for watching!!
I loved this video and all the activities and the Q&A's. You are an amazing mom and your boys are learning so much from you and Mark on multiple levels. Thanks for all the work you put into your videos.
Thanks Claudia! I appreciate your comments. They are a lot of work but when they come together and people enjoy them, it is all worth it! Thanks for coming along and taking the time to comment we are so grateful!
Thank you for sharing your family fun adventures. I so enjoy seeing the beautiful landscape. I have been blessed to have visited Alaska 3 times since the 80’s. I wish I had settled there. I see the rich outdoor life that your family loves is exciting. May you continue to appreciate the exciting outdoor life. Hello from Minnesota 💜
Wow that fish was huge.
It was amazing!!
@@ThisAlaskaLife you’ll be sending him out to stock the freezer 😂

Thank you so much for sharing more of your thoughts and taking time to answer all those questions fro us 🙂
I really enjoy your UA-cam channel and am for once glad about algorithm on the internet. I researched about Alaska because I want to visit your fabulous state and your channel was suggested to me 😅😅
I am so glad the algorithm brought you to us! Thanks for being here!
Hi Lauren, love your videos thank you for taking me out on your adventures. Have a wonderful day & up coming weekend 💜
Hello Kim! So nice to see your comment. Glad you enjoyed coming along. Have a wonderful weekend as well!

Thank you so much!
Fried Noodles are soo yummy! They're always in my pantry.
Well done Hunter on your amazing catch, I am from Oxford in the UK
Thanks
For sharing. Love seeing the cabin life.
Our pleasure!
So much fun !! 😀😀😀😀😀😀
Thank you so much Betty Ruth! Much love from Alaska to you!
What a great video. I love your camping adventures. And Luna, she said Hello when she came down the stairs. I just love her
She really has a way of talking, doesn't she! Thank you so much for spending time with us! We are so grateful!
This video made me think about SO MANY things. Thank you. I learned a lot. Appreciate you sharing with us. Loved the video👏🏼❤️🤗
You are so welcome! I am glad it was enjoyable and thought provoking. I am so grateful to have you here!
Finally some me time to watch my favorite Family! Whoo hoo . Your too cute w your response to Somers I'm Alaska sister lol. I'm still going to get you together w the Alaska couple Simple Living Alaska I'm determined! Lol you guys have alot of similarities for hunting and growing your own food etc. They don't have kids & I'm not sure they want them but they have 2 dogs. Great video as always!
PS that dinner u made w Salmon & Salad looked sooo good!
I am sure our paths will cross with Simple Living Alaska. We live a lot closer to them than with the people up in North Pole. They all seem to be great people!
Love your whole family. From Costo runs to the cabin enjoy seeing the beauty of Alaska.
Awesome! Thank you Shirley! So grateful to have you here!
Thanks for answering all our questions……❤️
My pleasure 😊 It was a fun way to show the cabin in a different way. Glad you enjoyed coming along!
Luna is such a sweetie! I love your cabin adventures and loved hearing a little about each of your boys!
Thanks Barb! Luna is my sweet girl. She makes me feel so loved when I come home. Thanks for watching!
Nice Video
Just wanted to say Thank You So Much for sharing your wonderful and exciting life that you, and your family have. Love all of your videos, but really enjoyed these last two with your Q & A. Hope y'all have a great rest of your summer.
Thank you so much Susan! I am glad you enjoyed this take on the cabin. It made it fun for me as well. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your summer as well. Much love from Alaska!
Great children
Thanks! We sure love them!
I Love luna sweetness and light, if you could can you give her a little squidgy poohs from me thanksx loved the tripx🇬🇧🤗💖🇬🇧
I will give her a squish and a rub under the chin from you! Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for sharing your life’s adventures and your family. Love Luna! I don’t see the recipe for the salad dressing🦋
I forgot to add it, I will do that now! Here it is for you amberskitchencooks.com/crunchy-asian-salad/
@@ThisAlaskaLife thanks!
I love making donuts just like that....my grandkids love it when i put a little chocolate frosting on them with sprinkles also my favorite is sugar & cinnamon....i want to see alaska so bad hopefully one day i will
hello Lauren and family awesome video love from pa
Thanks so much Cheryl! Have a wonderful day!
ive nvr rolled mine i will try that i do it on my back patio n i make tostda shelks after donuts lol so my house doesnt stink like oil n torts
Flattening them makes them cook more evenly, in my experience. We fry fish on the back deck too!
This video really spoke to my soul about being all in! Your words really hit a spot and something I really needed to hear at this point in my life. Thank you and your family for all your amazing videos!
Glad it was helpful! I truly believe it and am glad you felt my sincerity. It doesn’t make hard situations go away but it sure helps power through and learn to enjoy things in a different way. Much love to you from Alaska.
❤️❤️❤️ awesome Q&A! I definitely learned some things I didn’t know. How great is that shower! I can also see the different personalities of the boys.
Great job of the big catch Hunter! High five ✋
I love seeing how they each develop different traits. The shower is SOOOO good! Life changing! Thanks for commenting, we are so grateful to have you here!
Love watching your life in Alaska. Learning a lot. Also love your family. The only thing we have in common is I live in Western NY we have snow❄❄❄
I am so glad that we can appreciate the lives of people that live differently than us! Thanks for watching, we are so grateful!
Love to listen to your stories ❤️ your family is wonderful thanks so much .the halibut looks 👌 😍 it's so very expensive in Wisconsin we don't have it to much. Take care 🙂
Thanks Shelly! So glad you enjoyed the stories. We wouldn't eat much halibut if we didn't catch it ourselves. Thank you so much for watching, I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
sweet Luna, thank you for taking us to the cabin again, donuts looked great! Huge halibut, we only get our fried halibut from Ivars. LOL but its great!
Thanks for coming along. Have a wonderful weekend !
The military chapel I'm with use to go to a local campground. And we made campers donuts just like you do. A child would be given a bag of cinnamon and sugar or powdered sugar and told to shake it.
WOW LAUREN, really enjoyed ur Vlog, just seeing what Family means to you's is the Sweetest thing, You and Mark's Boys are Lucky to have u as there Mam and Dad. I Absolutely luv watching all of Vlogs, till the Next Time luv to u all from the 🇬🇧
Thank you so much Michelle! I am grateful to get to be their mom and to parent with Mark. I cannot tell you how grateful I am for all your kind comments, it means a lot to me!
Have you ever made fire weed jelly or tea? Loved the activities on the 4th! I had a favorite local place that served halibut cheeks in Glouester, MA. Yum! P.S. Magnificent halibut! TY!
Luna sure loves you❤️ Such a wonderful video. Thank you! ❤️Michele
BTW: did the kids like the movie Stuck On Christmas that I sent? Thanks for shout out on a video😍😍
Hello! Yes, they loved it! That was so kind of you to send it. Everett asked to watch it several times! Have a wonderful day
I think Luna is part dog - you never really see cats care so much about their owners - except for Miss Luna! Usually cats be like “ugh, you’re home” but she’s like “thank goodness you’re home!” Great video Lauren!
She really makes me feel loved when I come back. Yesterday we left for the day and when I came home she couldn't get close enough, like I had left her for a week. She was cuddled so close to my face, I just had to laugh. Thanks for watching, I love seeing your comments pop up!
Have you ever made fire weed jelly or tea? Loved the 4th activities for all. I had a favorite place in Gloucester, MA for halibut cheeks. Yum! That halibut was magnificent! TY . Love seeing the adventures. 💞
I have made fireweed jelly but to me it just seems like pretty purple sugar gel. We have so much raspberry freezer jam that I just stick with that. Thanks for watching! Halibut cheeks, yummmmm!
Hi Friend, l needed to hear this story about showing up in life, you seem to know exactly what to say when l need to hear it. God bless you 🙏
Thanks for listening! I was afraid it was too much talking but couldn't make myself edit it out. Now I know it was what many of us needed to hear. Much love to you and your mum and dad.
Thanks for encouraging me to be "All in" and find where my role is in life's struggles, situations and Blessings. Embracing what is given, persevering, and being patient in the answer. I have learned in life, we can sometimes isolate but we really do long for Community. Lauren Thank you for showing all the beautiful Flowers, your precious joys of Family, acknowledging your Knight and Shining Armour, sharing that Gyros(yum), and just reaching out to us, it means so much to have a Friend in you, such a gift of Joy. And Hunter, you are the most amazing Fisherman, 70Ib Halibut, wow. Bennett, you are such a great athlete, so impressed with your zeal for a challenge. Weston, sweetie, I loved watching you swim in the wet suit, it was so sweet to watch your Dad and Mom gaze upon you with Amazement, you are really growing up. And sweet wise Everett, you are rocking this summer in greatest way, thanks for taking us on the imaginary rafting trip. What an Adventure. And Thank you Mark, Alaskan Boy of Lauren's Heart. You have helped expand the opening of God's love in her heart, she has been able to allow that love to be given to All she meets. I am just so thankful and joyful you are all in Gary and I life. It is truly a Blessing. Big Hugs.
Thank you so much Marcella and Gary! When your comments started popping up many month ago, it stirred my heart. We are kindred spirits and I always look forward to your messages and emails. You are such an example to me of Christlike love. Thank you for your continued support of all our channels, God is so good to connect us through UA-cam!
Your friend Sommers in Alaska make jelly from the beautiful fireweed flowers you pictured, I'm wondering what that tastes like. Thank you for this video and I loved the questions you answered. There were quite a few that I wondered about also. My question was; do your boys have chores, do they get an allowance? Someday you might consider making an Audible book on some adventure that you did in Alaska. I'm looking forward to more of these interesting come-along-with -us videos.
I always enjoy watching you and your family. I love going to the lake where I live. I was looking for the asian salad recipe but did not see it. Am I overlooking it? Would love to have that recipe. I make those donuts also with just a cheap can of biscuits but I just make a glaze of powdered sugar and milk (or water). I will have to try rolling them in sugar next time.
I forgot to put the recipe! I just added it, thanks for the reminder! amberskitchencooks.com/crunchy-asian-salad/
I will have to try the glaze sometime!
@@ThisAlaskaLife Thank you.
Do you let Luna out on the deck at all? I love the reactions we get from our kitty’s when we have been gone a few days.
Yes, she likes to venture out to the deck every once in a while and get some fresh air and sunshine!
I would like to know more about your service projects😊
Who takes care of Luna while you’re at the cabin or on other adventures?
Depends...my parents when they are home. Grandma or Marks sister Sarah’s family, if they are home. Or my friend comes and looks after her if no one is available.

Thanks for watching !
Beautiful wow
Alrighty then lol
