Josie Balka and Katie Clark
Most of the Bates siblings live in the Knoxville area, but a few are in other states, which means the family spends quite a bit of time traveling back and forth for visits. Katie flew to Tennessee to spend some time with her parents, siblings, nieces, and nephews. Then, Josie took Willow and Hazel to New Jersey to help Katie and Travis decorate their house (photo above shows what they accomplished).
Now, Isaiah and Ellie are in Florida with the Websters. After Lawson marries Tiffany next month, the couple will reside in Nashville, which means more travels for the family.

Beautiful job decorating! These talented kids are so sweet helping each other out and supporting each other’s endeavors. Bless you all
ReplyDeleteThey needed help picking out beige and white furnishings? Or nailing some slats to a wall?
ReplyDeleteWho is Isaiah and Ellie? Thought I knew all their names but am stumped at those 2.
ReplyDeleteYou can Google that.
DeleteThe family has the “older” boys, the “middle” boys and the youngest two. The middle boys were Jackson, Warden and Isaiah. Who are men now.
Isaiah is the 7th son and Ellie is the 8th daughter of Gil and Kelly Jo. Look in the Bates Family Birthdays section for their birthday's as I don't remember how old they are.
DeleteIsaiah is the Bates' 14th child, and Ellie is the Bates' 16th child. Isaiah is currently 17 and Ellie is currently 14.
DeleteThank you to all of you for explaining who they are.
DeleteThat's a nice addition to their home. And nice picture of the girls
ReplyDeleteThat's great they can see their siblings so often!
ReplyDeletewhat a gorgeous beautiful bedroom I love it
ReplyDeleteIt’s so lovely that they visit with those who live away!
ReplyDeleteI guess you can never move the bed away from that spot now that you put wood there. Those "Chip and Joanna" wall fads are exactly that - fads.
ReplyDeleteWhy not? If I were going to move the bed, I'd use that space for a reading nook.
DeleteSure you can. You can do anything you want.
DeleteSaw Travis and Katie's vlog last week featuring her visit to Tennessee to visit with family and friends and meet her new nephew Zade. Was kind of concerned to see Hazel in her crib and how small she is at nearly 10 months old. Guess every baby grows differently.🤷♀️ Can't wait to see a new one soon featuring Josie and the girls visit to New Jersey. Also saw John and Alyssa's new vlog put up today but haven't watched it yet. Spoiler alert for me,but that's ok.😉 Can't wait for Lawson and Tiffany to wed soon. At least they are still in the same state so the siblings can make weekend visits often.😁👍 Will Trace and Lydia plan to live in Tennessee when they get married or will they live elsewhere?
ReplyDeleteLovely updates - thanks for sharing them!
ReplyDeleteTHE BATES CHICKS ROCK!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought wives couldn’t travel without their husbands in the IBLP?
