As we count down to the new year, we thought we would share one last Bates photo from 2017. It's a snapshot of Carlin Bates and boyfriend Evan Stewart. The two are in a serious courtship, which means it won't be long before they head to the altar.
With at least two grandchildren on the way and potential weddings, 2018 is shaping up to be a busy year for the Bates family.
