Taking a Bates family photo

New Bringing Up Bates content is coming your way soon! The Bates clan spent the weekend together taking photos and filming promo scenes, commercials, and a new intro. The show will return later this summer, with the exact date to be announced soon. In the photo above, there is one Bates missing. Can you figure out who it is? (He or she was able to make it to some of the shoots this weekend.)

Have you ever been to Chuck E. Cheese? The Bates have been a number of times. In fact, Carson Paine just celebrated his fourth birthday there this year. And it's not just a place that the little kids love visiting. As you can see from these photos, the older Bates siblings enjoy the competitive nature of the games.

Independence Day 2019

On April 11th, we shared news of Alyssa Webster’s heart surgery. (Click here to read our post with the details.) She just released an update, so we wanted to pass it on to you all.

Alyssa's doctor has scheduled the same surgery again because the first one was unsuccessful. After the first procedure, Alyssa was told that there was a 50% chance that her abnormal heartbeats would return, and they did. Her doctor informed her that her arrhythmia is one of the worst he has seen. Please continue to pray for healing for Alyssa, a successful surgery, and wisdom for the medical staff that will be treating her.

The Bates clan spent 4th of July with Gil's family at Papa Bill and Mama Jane's farm, a celebration that has become an annual tradition. It was also Papa Bill's 81st birthday. And what's a family gathering without a little project? While they were there, they helped Papa Bill and Mama Jane by adding walls to their porch.

As we shared a couple weeks ago, the Bates family did a promotional shoot with the network in preparation for Bringing Up Bates season 8B. The entire clan was present, although Zach was in and out due to his work schedule as a law enforcement officer. The photo below shows the family and a few of the crew members. Some of the Bates grandchildren got tired of posing for pictures, as you can see.

Celebrating 4th of July in Downtown Knoxville

Josie Balka is just a couple weeks away from her July 25th due date! Older sister Erin Paine has a history of early deliveries, so if Josie follows in her footsteps, she and Kelton could be meeting their daughter any day now. Are you looking forward to seeing photos of Willow Balka? She is the 10th Bates grandchild, which is especially fitting because Josie is Gil and Kelly Bates' 10th child.

In a couple weeks, Zoey Webster will be 16 months old (and so will Everly Paine--we shared a new photo of her in our June 28th post). Zoey is the youngest of the three Webster daughters, and Alyssa loves dressing them in matching [usually pink] outfits, so there is a good chance that this little cutie will grow up to be a girly girl.

The dress business is booming! Erin Paine, Whitney Bates, and Carlin Stewart are continuing to add inventory to their online store, Bates Sisters Boutique. With a variety of styles, and even a few items that aren't dresses, there is sure to be something for everyone. Below are a few of the newest additions.

As you'll see on the boutique website, Erin, Whitney, and Carlin often have their mom and sisters as models. Most recently, Chaney, Trace's girlfriend, has also joined in on the fun.

Carlin and Evan Stewart have been married for just over two months and just shared a photo of their gorgeous master bedroom. Erin Paine helped with the design. The green paint color behind the bed is Regal Leaf from Magnolia. What do you think? The first photo is of the Stewarts' master, and the second is of Zach and Whitney Bates' master bedroom, which was done earlier this year. Both were designed with help from the Paines.
