I know a lot of people can’t wrap their heads around having 19 kids and even more grandkids and still showing each one so much love and attention but your parents both seem to make sure each one of you are loved, cared for and have a deep and meaningful relationship with!! Y’all are so blessed!

Gil Bates is on a whole new Dad level. He’s amazing.
I respect and appreciate Gil Bates. His love and kindness towards his family got me through 2020. Nothing like positive people when the seasons of life are difficult.
Great hymns and service too. Watch online from Canada. Beautiful family.
Gil definitely has a servant's heart
Link please
Their family gives me hope and reminds me there are still good people out in the world (I’m a native Californian and it’s a beautiful place to visit, but lord almighty it’s like living in the twilight zone sometimes) ❤ I wish the very best for them 🙏
Gil (and the whole family!) is awesome.
The Older you get, the faster life goes by. I'm 70 and it seems like yesterday I graduated from High School. So enjoy every moment the Lord provides for you.
Mr. Gil Bates is a Godly man. He loves and cares for his family no matter how big they've grown. I can't believe how grown up Callie Ann looks.
I'm happy to hear that Carlin is getting ready to drive again. I pray that God keeps her and her family safe. Stay warm and safe.
It’s Callie-Anna, actually, but you’re so right. I’m floored every time I happen to catch her in one of her sibs’ videos. Before you know it, they’ll be announcing her engagement too! (Calm down, Gil, it’s still a ways off. LOL)
Love how your dad lights up like a kid when it snows. What a sweet dad to take you shopping.
-Tammy
Seeing Carlin with her dad is so sweet! Mr. Bates is such a great man
Not to be negative, I pray all goes well. As a person with random seizures, I would be very careful with the decision to start driving. I thought my episodes where gone (under control with medication I've gone as long as 6-7 months) and at random times they show up, disrupting my life and things I love to do. Again, I pray all goes well with you and family.
I'm so glad Carlin will be able to hopefully drive soon!! Mr. Bates is so kind and caring, both if your parents are so sweet!!
I am with Evan. I live in Knoxville too, I looked at the weather Friday, it said a dusting to an in. Saturday it said 2-4 inches, then all of the sudden we ended up with 10 inches. 😱 I’ve been stuck at home all week! Carlin’s dad was cracking me up. Such good news about Carlin hopefully being able to drive again soon!
So glad for you being able to drive again Carlin! I'm praying that all goes well. Evan,you have been a very loving and supportive husband during this trial..Mr. Bates is so compassionate and loving towards his children-and so is Mama Bates. They are such good examples on how to show love and support when your children are grown and married. ❤❤
Gil Bates is the most loving and kind husband/Dad and GrandDaddy.
That was some good snow. It was fun watching y'all play with the kids in it.
I am so excited for Carlin to be able to drive again! My BIL had brain surgery after many bad headaches and finding a spot on hit brain. He couldn’t drive for a year. I picked him up for work every day and brought him home at night. Talk about a good feeling when he was able to drive again. Enjoy your freedom!
So good to see your dad , so sweet of him to help out !!
I’ve said it before and will continue ~
Carlin is a CHAMP!!!
There are times when I’m facing situations and I stop and think about what Carlin faced and how - By GOD’S Strength and Faith - she pressed through !!
Praise Be To GOD !!
🤗🤍🤗
Happy for you , Carlin !!!!!🥰
The cutest Pippi, Longstocking , I’ve ever seen . 😍
🎵🎶🎶🎶
🤗🤍🤍🤗
Wish I'd had a dad like Gil Bates!! You're so blessed. Congratulations on being able to drive soon!🙏🙏🙏
For future reference, you can find snow suits and sleds if you have a Costco membership. You may even find them online.
I'm praying that Carlin's health continues to improve and she's able to drive again next month.
I think Evan may have had an extra caffeine fix. So much energy ! His Michael Buble rendition of "Let it snow" was great! But his Pippi Longstocking was a crackup lol!!! Cheers to Gil for providing safe transportation for you all. Snow days can be so fun. It's always good to keep a marriage "Check In". Such a blessing when you get your independence back. Good luck with that Carlin.
Yes Evan did have lots of energy and his singing both songs were great!
I love Mr. Bates! He and Mrs. Bates make time for each of their kids. Amazing parents! ❤️
Pippy Long stocking is a compliment, Carlin...she was a pretty fictional character, great books. Your hair looks great!
We will be praying that Carlin will get to drive again. Love your family
Your parents are the best. It’s so refreshing to see how they make a conscious effort with all of you kids, married or not and all the grandkids
My dad is definitely like Gill Bates he is so loving and caring! He will drop anything for his kids and grandkids. Minnesota didn’t get much snow this year but I think we got lucky this year but I am sure it’s coming
You can probably relate to my life now, with being stuck at home. I've been housebound and recliner/bedbound because of my health "challenges" from ME/CFS for 9 1/2 years (plus Long Covid since March of 2020). I can only get out for medical appointments and I must limit those because any activity worsens my ME/CFS.....and have not driven in 10 years. Being cooped up and unable to do anything around the house is SUPER challenging! I keep praying that the scientists and researchers finally develop treatments and meds for ME/CFS and for Long Covid, too, PLUS cures would be super amazing! Unfortunately, there hasn't been enough funding to get it accomplished. I've had ME/CFS for 30 1/2 years. It's been a long time waiting for any help. Please keep praying for all of us who have both of these illnesses. We need all the help and prayers that we can get! I am so excited for you Carlin to be able to drive pretty soon! It will be unnerving, I'm sure, but it will seem like freedom for you, too! I'm sending you all my love, prayers, and gentle hugs, from Donna in Florida. 🥰
Mr Bates is an awesome man, so loving and caring! We have been snowed in too since last Sunday night! I’m so happy for you Carlin! Love Y’all! Love and Prayers Always
Nothing like having a Wonderful Daddy, &. Gil Bates is at the Top, along with
Kelly Jo as a 1st Class, Mum.🥰
I grew up in MI and moved to Knoxville in 1974. My kiddos didn't have lots of winter gear either since we very rarely needed it. So when they were little they would put plastic bread bags over their socks then put on an old pair of shoes to go out in the snow. That way their feet stayed dry (not warm, but dry). Making due always works. It's such a joy seeing the littles playing in the snow. I live in Seymour and we only got 2 "crunchy" inches. Even south Knoxville got (just about 5 miles north of us) got 10"!
As a Swede born in the 90s I love hearing Evan singing the Pippi Longstocking theme song in English, I’ve only ever heard the original Swedish version 🎉 Pippi Långstrump was the best!
Praying things continue to go well for you, Carlin. 🙏 I just love watching you, Evan, Layla, and Zade. ❤
I really loved this video guys! I mean I always love them, but something extra special about this one. Then I realized it’s because I got to see your sweet Dad! ❤
So happy for you all….Carlin getting to drive soon, Layla turning 4, the Marriage Retreat, (Pigeon Forge…my favorite place)!! God is so good! Love the vlog! ❤❤
I live in Fernley, Nevada (northern Nevada; nowhere near Las Vegas, thank the Lord) and we got 17 inches of snow in the course of about 5 hours on Wednesday the 10th. It was a record for us. Typically when it snows here, we get anywhere from 1 inch to about 3 inches, and rarely we get up to 8 inches, so this was a big deal for us. Schools were canceled and everything was a mess for 2 days. Thankfully it cleared up enough that my daughter and I were still able to travel to New Mexico on Friday the 12th to attend my granddaughter's sweet 16 party! 🙌🙌❤
Carlin, I am so excited for you to finally get to drive again. We have prayed for you and this is one answer to our prayers.❤ You have shown your faith through all of this and been such a witness to others. Love and Prayers
So happy for Carlin’s news!
Answered prayer❤ have been praying for you to drive again. God is so good. What a mighty God we serve❤
Snow days are snow much fun!😊
I used to love Pippi Longstocking and that theme song!!! You have to find it online to show Carlin!
Maybe for the month of March, Carlin drives with Evan in the car. That way Carlin gets a refresher and Evan can have peace of mind.😉
... And please Gil wear your seat belt. 😮 🙏
Grew up along the Susquehanna River in South Central PA...never had snow suits. Girls wore tights, long johns and pants, guys wore long johns and pants...bundled up in coats, hats, gloves, boots, and maybe a scarf if it was windy...we all played for HOURS in the snow and survived. I promise, you don't need "snow bibs" for the kids as seldom as you get measurable snow. They will be fine...warm 'em back up with hot cocoa or soup and they'll be ready to go out again. Snow play is the best!
Agreed!🎉
❄️🌨️⛄️We’re the same here in Edinburgh, Scotland. Regular clothes, hat, gloves and scarf, stayed out until we were too cold . That tended to be a long time lol 🖤
Ya'll, and Travis & Katie are the only couples video I watch. There's not many good couples videos out there. Thank you! You're such a Blessing. May you feel God's love and presence with you. Blessings❤
Y'all had a LOT of snow for TN! We only got between 2-3 inches and we are so over it. The cold has been brutal here in NW Tennessee.
Super excited for Carlin! I'm glad prayers working to get Carlin back to feeling better. Luv you guys!
You have more snow than we have here in MN! Crazy! Our outdoor enthusiasts need snow!
Thanks for sharing YOU with all of us!!♥️❄️🥰
You both are blessed with parents who love each other and are still married. I do believe that is important for young couples to have that example to go by. 🥰 I’m sure you two are an inspiration for other young couples now who watch you. My daughter loved watching the Bates show, she now has a great husband and family . She learned a lot of what she wanted in her life from your family.
Carlin, Soooo happy to hear that you could be driving soon!!!!! 😃👏🏻👏🏻. How wonderful!!!! The kiddos looked like they were having a BLAST in the snow!!! As far as the snowsuits go, you probably will have to order them online. As you know, the Fashion World DOES NOT coincide with the Real World!!!! I work part time at TJMaxx and all we are getting in are swimsuits and coats are almost sold out!! ( And we most likely won’t be getting anymore in!!🤪). I really like your haircut Evan!!!! Tell Gil and Callie Hi!!!
Yes, we need more men like Gil
Glad you are surviving the snow!!! I live South of you in the upstate of SC, so we just have the cold. Congrats Carlin on getting to drive soon!!!! Happy Birthday Sweet Layla!!!!
Can't believe that Layla will be 4?!?!? Time sure does fly! I blinked and have a 15year old and almost 11year old. Enjoy every moment. Praying for continued healing and health improvements for Carlin so she can drive again. 🙏❤️
I totally understand the frustration having to rely on someone to take you everywhere. I haven’t been able to drive since 2009 it sucks being home alone all the time. I stopped driving due to epilepsy I could drive if I wanted to but I’m to afraid to have a seizure
As a person with low vision for life- who can’t drive ever- two years is no sweat! Hope all of you enjoyed the snow but yuck to sleet! Love your family! Love an Indiana Yankee❤😂
Love papa bates!!
I’m so excited for you. Good to see your dad. The kids look so cute in the snow. See you in your next video. Have a blessed Saturday.❤❄️❄️❄️⛄️
Gil & Kelly Bates , are Amazing People Love them … Have Fun in the snow !!! 😊
I never heard anyone call snow pants , snow bibs 😂
I am so happy for you, Carlin! What a blessing to have come this far ♥️
I didn't see Zade out in the snow. Was he enjoying the snow off camera? You have a great back yard
I was wondering that to
No snow boots, put the kids feet in plastic bags you use to put your vegetables in from the store, , and slip their little feet into their shoes, it will keep their little feet warm.
That’s what we use to do in my younger days in Alaska. Just a thought😊
We never had snow bids extra pair of pants or sweat pants and 2 pair of socks out the door we went
Our church also does a marriage retreat. W/ 4 kids, it’s such a blessing to reconnect and just enjoy each other for a weekend.❤
Hoping you’re able to drive! My friend used to have seizures and she couldn’t drive for years. It was hard for a season, but now she’s good! Been driving for a while and doing well! Seizure free! 🎉
So glad Carlin is doing better! God bless your little family❤
What a sweet fun happy family you have built!!!
Love Gil Bates. Great Dad. Tell your Mom we would love to see her on UA-cam. Blessings
I’m so happy for Carlyn . The snow in Tennessee can go bye bye. I just fell taking my dog out.
Hope you are OK!
Yes just a sore bum
The fig leaf tree doesn’t like the cold from your window, move it to a warm corner and water when partly damp
Hey Stew Crew, just a word of advice, when I was a kid playing with cousins in Kentucky and sliding down the hills in the snow. We made our own sleds, using cardboard boxes, but we put the cardboard in plastic Lawn and leaf bags makes for a perfect sled. Tie the handles in a knot so the bag don't slip off of the cardboard. You have a perfect sledding hill in your backyard! Enjoy!!!
Same here, grew up in Jersey using cardboard and large garbage bags.
You have a great dad. Miss see the whole family on TV.
We grew up in upstate NY, now living in NC, but my husband always loved to go out in the snow. Things rarely closed down so we’d go out to eat or something just to go out in it. 😊
Especially never know when it can come back or have episodes
Love Evan singing the Pippi song lol. I love watching southerners get snow it’s always amusing. Little tip from this Maine girl, those blow up inner tubes that you take to the lake are actually the fastest and best snow sleds. Love you guys 💜
You guys Got the kinda Snow we Usually get in SD..
What a Wonderful Dad..🥰🙏
I'm so happy for you Carlin🎉 I've been in a situation that prevented me from driving for a long time, about a year or 2, and it shows you humility. I agree with ya'll taking some lessons to get used to driving again. 😊 So happy ya'll had the beautiful snow that gave ya'll the time to talk. The Lord gives you time when He knows you need it. 🙏 ❤Another great video 📹
One of the best fun snow tips we ever got raising littles was to bring into the bathtub big bowl-fuls of snow from outside! That way, you don't have to worry about all the snow prep! Bonus, they can play on the outside of the tub and not be freezing cold! We even colored ours with food coloring and sprinkles for added fun and brought in bath toys to play with. It was a HUGE win for us!!🙌🏼
You have the Perfect Backyard for Sledding!!
Super fun !!
Dads always come thru when needed
My oldest is in Georgia
When they have gotten snow, he’s out driving too. But he was born and raised in Michigan. And we know how to drive on snow and ice 😅
Can’t wait till the kids birthdays and seeing Carlin being able to drive again!
Never heard about snow bibs. Here in Maine we call them snow pants
they are the overalls type of pants.
This video makes me smile. I have been going through a rough breakup over the last month and it's nice to have your videos to add some light to my life.💛
I love that your dad is like that! He's the best! My HAS to get out in the snow. It's like he's itching for it.
Come to Michigan we have anywhere between 12 and 15 inches
I love watching your shows!
We got snow too!!! Love you guys!
So fun in the snow.
You have more snow than we have in Minnesota, but it has been below zero. Perfect snow to make a snowman!
So happy for Carlin❤
There’s no one like dad!! My dad would do & does the same thing 😂😅 I live about 60 miles west of DC & it’s the same here. We don’t get a lot of snow. Last year we didn’t anything 😂 But you go about 2 hours west & it’s a different world! Winter wonderland. Lots of snow & ice in the mountains.
When your kids turn 4, it really is a milestone as they're no longer considered in the toddler range. I remember that with my child, whose now 31. 😥🥰 It can be a little bitter-sweet.
Will continue praying that you will be able to start driving in another month! Wow can’t believe Layla is going to be 4 years old. It goes by in a blink of an eye. Mine are 34 and soon to be 22 year old. I don’t know where time went. Enjoy the snow. We live in pa, got no snow last year got 2 little snow storms this week. I was so happy. Have a great week!!
So excited for you❤
Loved your video of the beautiful snow! Enjoy it with your kids!
Prayers for y'all
Always keep a little extra at home if your able to; anything can happen not just a snow storm and than you'll be prepared. Thank you for the upload glad you guys are enjoying the snow. God Bless you.
Congratulations Carlin I am happy for you.
Hooraaay for Carlin 🚗 🎉
One I have been along the ride with Carlin's illnesses!! I have been dealing with neurological issues as well, and im looking forward to the day I can drive.
I am praying for you!!! Also marriage retreats are the best. We never went away, on did them at my church.
I am so excited for you Carlin that you will get to drive if everything works out, and I hope it does. I just love this family so much.❤
We miss Gill, Kelly and all kids so much.
Soooo happy for you Carlin. Prayers are being answered.
Making new memories yeah in your house.
Great opening! 🤣🤣I wanna send you all a sled! We have all kinds of snow gear here in VT!
Continued blessings -
Love this family! They are such genuine people.
That was a fun vlog! Some excitement with all that snow😂. We get now here in Switzerland too and was just up the mountain yesterday...lovely looking but thankfully the roads were pretty clear. ❤
