Carlin Bates, Josie Bates, Alyssa Webster, and Allie Webster
Did you know that Carlin can yodel? She also has a love for children and leads character lessons for the church kids on Sunday nights. Click here for information on Carlin and Trace's joint graduation party, which they have opened up to the public.
Allie is an easy-going baby whose middle name, Jane, is in honor of Gil's mother, whom the Bates call Mama Jane.

Happy birthday to my favorite Bates. I hope it's great Carlin. Happy first birthday sweet Allie!
ReplyDeleteThey couldn't get their own post. Poor Carlin has to share her graduation party and birthday.
ReplyDeleteI really don't think these girls are as selfish as your comment would imply. I bet they could care less.
DeleteThat's not selfish. Everybody deserves a special day about them .
DeleteYou must remember this a family of 19. How many occasions do they celebrate in a year? And just maybe it's the easiest thing for everyone in the family if you combine celebrations. How much traveling would it be for John and Alyssa or even for the Bates ? And besides it's fun celebrating a birthday with a relative. My uncle's birthday was a day after mine and I loved it, having a large family picnic was great .
DeleteCarlin doesn't look unhappy to me. I doubt if Gil or Kelly deprive any of their kids what they are entitled to, like birthday presents and or graduation presents. Chill out !!
DeleteYou must remember in a family of 19 it's easy to not feel special or like an individual. Seperate Party's would be a great way to make someone feel like an individual. Back to the blog though, it would not have been that hard to do two separate posts.
DeleteHappy Birthday Carlin and Allie!! May God bless you both as you continue to grow!
ReplyDeleteKnees!!!! NIKE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThere's no problem with that. They all look lovely and are being modest with their short skirts.
DeleteAnd that was my point. :)
DeleteI agree. lately they have been so inappropriate...
Deletei am glad someone else out there uses nike! lol
Who has been so inappropriate? Surely you can not mean the Bates Girls? Knees are just knees so I can't imagine you are being serious?
DeleteI really hope you are being sarcastic. I can't think of one thing inappropriate that the Bates family does.
DeleteThey are modest.
DeleteLeave the girl alone ! There is nothing wrong with jeans. And besides she is married. Let her set her own standards. She looks modest to me. What I hate is when a young woman wears a dress and doesn't wear a slip. The sun shines through the fabric and they have no idea everything underneath is shown.
DeleteI was using NIKE in a joking way. I don't see anything wrong with knees. To each his own, but it's not fair to judge a woman for showing her knees. That's antiquated thinking.
DeleteHappy birthday Carlin and Allie!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea better of giving them each their own seperate blogs but i understand why you do it this. Saves time writing two blogs.
I think they have one blog because Carlin is awfully proud.to celebrate a birthday with another family member, just as some of the others celebrate the same.day. Lucky you Carlin ! I celebrated my birthday with my uncle and I don't know who loved it more, him or me ! And my brother celebrated his birthday with my sister., 14 years apart!! I just don't like seeing a wedding on a graduation. That just isn't right, because some people can not attend two celebration in one month.
DeleteHappy Birthday to both beautiful girls. ~Tammy H.~
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Carlin!

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Carlin and Allie! <3

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday you two!!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy for both of you on this special day that the Lord gave you guys!!
Happy 18th Birthday Carlin! Enjoy the rest of the day.🎂🎈
ReplyDeleteHappy 1st Birthday Allie!🎂🎈
Alyssa is wearing pants!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! I didn't think she would wear them in front of her family!
DeleteShe looks good in pants. Alyssa is the only one in the family that has her ears pierced
DeleteShe looks better in a skirt!
Deleteeveryone looks better in skirts!
DeleteAlyssa is adorable in blue jeans! If I had her little figure I would be rockin' them too!!
DeleteNo not everyone looks better in skirts.
DeleteAlyssa is so beautiful
DeleteSo what !!! I wear pants and I am of their same Faith. I am very conservative. It doesn't mean a thing. She looks modest to me.
DeleteI don't know why everyone is always so hard on Alyssa. Let her be herself. What sin is there wearing feminine jeans? Or having pierce ears? Or even dyeing your hair to see what it would look like ? Do you judge those in your family who try changes ? And besides, she is as devout as anyone woes in her family. She picked a guy who Kelly says memorized the most Bible verses ! Now what do you think of that ! That is probably the most devout family !
DeleteI love Carlin. Happy Birthday ! You and Tori are such wonderful sisters. Just never liked Brandon' s remarks to you and Tori. He isn't funny.
DeletePeople have been too hard on Alyssa. There is nothing wrong with jeans. She is a young girl dressed in the style of the day. She is no longer under her parents roof. She makes her own decisions as a married woman with a child. Don't most women? She is in the world but not of the world. And she had married a man with the same values and beliefs as she was raised in and she herself still has those strong beliefs in her heart. Leave her alone. Build her up, not down. . Am proud of you Alyssa.
DeleteWishing you a birthday full of love,joy and happiness. Have a year of blessings.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY CARLIN
