Over the weekend, we posted a couple group shots from the Bates' recent photo shoot. The talented photographers were Caleb and Brittany Cruse from Cruse Creative.
With all the new babies and new boyfriends, the Bates family is growing steadily. There are currently five married children (four daughters and one son), but that number could increase to seven in the near future. We thought you would enjoy seeing snapshots of each little family.

Hi I really love to watch your show I cannot believe how fast the family is growing all the grandkids are getting so big
ReplyDeleteBeautiful families. Cute pictures. And I love the color coordination. I've never seen Brooklyn smile though...
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of the Pains.
ReplyDeleteI like how Carson is kissing his Mamma on the cheek!
Erin looks a little like Michael and Allyssa in that picture:)

ReplyDeleteALL THE COUPLES ARE CUTE.
Aw cute
ReplyDeletePoor Michael. I feel rather sad for her.
ReplyDeleteDon’t feel sad for her. She and Brandon are very much blessed to have each other. There are many very lonely people who never even have as much as they have; a beautiful marriage. I have been through infertility and the heartbreak of two stillborn babies while family and friends were having lots of babies so I don’t speak from a heart that is incompassionate, but of one who has truly learned to be very grateful for what I do have.I have a husband who has loved me through the heartache too. As Michael said so graciously there is a beautiful side. I get the feeling even in Michael’s longing for children, she, too has a grateful heart for her gift of Brandon and would not want you to feel sorry for her.
DeleteVery WELL PUT
DeleteSuch a cute little baby bump!
ReplyDeleteYep! next to marry sounds like Josie and Kelton, then Carlin and Evan! I cant help but wonder when Lawson, Nathan, and Trace find the lady that is right for each of them!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Maybe you can use them to update the header. Maybe a little cropping and you can get Josie and Kelton, too.
ReplyDeleteAll these couples are just beautiful,but Tori and Bobby are just glowing.May God bless ya'll.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to see these pictures replaced On the blog banner. Less confusing.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely pictures. Thanks for the post. I enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely the most adorable families ever. Heaven bless!
ReplyDeleteHow precious! Can't wait to see the Smith baby, and long for the announcement that a Keilen baby is on the way!
ReplyDeleteCarson reminds me a little of my younger brother! Such a cutie!
ReplyDeleteOh such sweet pictures!
ReplyDeleteExcept only 1 of those families is actually a “little Bates family.” The others are littles Paines, little Keilens, little Webster’s, and little Smiths families...
ReplyDeleteThose girls will always be Bates . You don’t give up your DNA when you get married. Their children are as much Bates as they are Paines,Websters, Keilens, and Smiths.
DeleteIf you're going to (attempt to) correct someone, try getting your spelling and punctuation right! Apostrophes are never used to make a word or name plural.
DeleteI love, admire and appreciate this family. I love how they all get along and support one another. They are happy and have God in the center of their lives. They are a blessing.
ReplyDeleteCute pictures!

ReplyDeleteWe'll be seeing Whitney and Alyssa in bikinis in no time, ha!
