Our pastor says you should walk the walk and talk the talk! Our lives should definitely reflect Christ! & The Bible also says that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God! Gospel conversations do matter, not just Biblical living! I think your dad & mom are awesome examples of walking the walk, and talking the talk! They actually share Scripture and Biblical encouragement, & I really admire that! I think you all have a huge platform you’ve been given by God to use for His Kingdom indeed! 🙏🏻💛
Carlin I love way you answered about how you and Evan decide what you feel is best and no disrespect to your parents about your standards or what Lord speaks to you about.That was so sweet and respectful to your parents.
Carlin, you can do a lesson every week so I can learn too! 😊 I’ve been trying to teach myself piano ever since I was about 11 (I’m 65 now!) I always wanted to take piano lessons but never really got to. I did take a little class called “class piano 1 & 2” at junior college (now known as community college). I took it as an elective when I was getting a two year technical degree! Piano who can play piano just impress me so much! Love watching you and Evan on this channel! I loved the TV show as well and have missed it! Carlin, you were always fun on that show as well as now! 😊
Evan and Carlin, You should never worry about how long your videos are. My wife and I would watch an hour video each time. Don’t get too full of yourselves but you are both easy to watch and entertaining. Be encouraged and keep being authentic and genuine!
Carlin, you should teach Evan to play the piano and Evan, you should record your songs with Travis. It was nice to hear these questions answered, it helps us get to know you both better. Love seeing all of you and your family doing UA-cam. I miss Bringing up Bates. Mama B should have a channel
❤you all so much !!! Even when you hit a rough patch l am still not going to miss any messages from you. This 82years old great gramma is right here cheering you on.😊❤😊...A #1 member of the STEW CREW !!! BLESSINGS...
We really did enjoy this. The truthfulness and vulnerability are courageous. We learn nothing from "perfect" people. Sharing insecurity helps more than hiding it. Thanks
Carlin, I agree. I would rather go through labor and delivery than the morning sickness for months. Also, your outfit looks so comfortable and that color is so pretty on you. Evan, I never knew you had such a great voice. You should record some songs. Thanks for answering all of the questions.
You guys are so genuine. I love the dynamics you show us, especially in this video. Actions speak louder than words as they say and your belief in Jesus definitely shows in your actions. Carlin, you are inspiring others through your difficult health walk. I see God using you to inspire others, encourage others and help them feel less alone. In a world where there are many fake influencers, I appreciate your realness. Thank you both.
I think you guys are incredibly blessed in this day to be able to work together. You're building your marriage and making memories that will last forever. And you're all a blast to watch. ❤
I’ve been epileptic for 41 years I’ve taken 3 different medications I have given birth 4 times, with that being said I have had multiple losses. Having children on seizure medication depends on the medication and type of seizures you have. If you have any questions about epilepsy in general please feel free to message me ❤
I love your family. I am sending continued prayers that Carlin’s health continues to improve and you finally get answers. I am glad to see a young couple devoted to the Lord and isn’t afraid to talk about him.
I have been watching you Carlin since 2015. You and Evan are doing a great job being vessels that God can use to help those of us who have grown up in different family situations. I watch all of your siblings’ UA-cam channels as well. You are all doing an amazing job of being genuine real Christians. Showing the world that it’s all about letting Christ’s light shine through us, even though none of us are perfect, which is why we need Jesus. Thank you Father, for your healing that you have provided for Carlin through your precious son Jesus’s death, we declare Carlin to be healed in Jesus’s name, Amen 🙏 ❤
If it is epilepsy you may find that with pregnancy, it can increase. My sister developed it when pregnant with her first child and had 6 pregnancies. One precious angel didn't make it. However, after she stopped having children, things improved, and she no longer required medication. It is a good idea to have proper medical advice about future pregnancies. Best wishes to you all ❤️
My best friend is a Christian. I am agnostic. What Evan said about the guy he worked with is absolutely true! I cannot stand it when religion is pushed down my throat and people feel the need to constantly attempt to preach to others. My best friend lives her life as a Christian, it’s completely obvious she loves Jesus but she never ever tries to push her beliefs on me or others. She is always respectful of everyone and answers any questions I have about her beliefs. I follow a lot of religious families as religion and peoples beliefs fascinate me, and I enjoy learning about different religions. I have to say that of all the people I follow on UA-cam. It’s clear that you two are really genuine and open about how nobody’s life is perfect. You are both naturally funny and it’s a pleasure to watch your channels growth.
This is my favorite Stew Crew ever!!! I love watching the dynamics between the two of you! You made me laugh, and you inspired me! Thanks for being real, and for pointing people to Jesus! This was time well spent! Thanks for being you!!!
I’m a 2 year old teacher at my church and we have school only on Tuesday and Thursday 8:30-2, in Knoxville. I’ve seen with my own daughter how much those two days have helped her socially and giving the “school” environment because we do homeschool
I started watching the tv show then I started following the family on UA-cam. I think you’re family is just an amazing, wonderful down to earth family. Thanks for being humble and real.
You both are such shining lights for Christ! You live the Gospel and to see such in young people gives this grandma hope! And Carlin, I totally get not wanting to talk about health issues. I have chronic health issues and am homebound a lot and I really dislike talking about it. It is what it is and I’d rather focus on all that I CAN do and all the blessings God has given me. My health doesn’t define me, nor does it you. Thank you for sharing your lives, And yes, focus is so important but we are human and get down but turning our eyes on Him lifts us up. Layla and Zade are the cutest! Oh...and thanks again for recommending Pastor Justin last year, we’ve not missed a livestream since and it’s been such a blessing! Love from Oklahoma❤️
I was a nanny for 5 years. When traveling with kids and potty training, it's always a good idea to have a little potty seat in the car that u can put a little bag inside so u can just throw it away when done I also like that you can pull over at anytime to let them go potty.
Wow! Great video. You both have grown individually and as a couple. Actually thought I was sitting across from you both. I’m inspired by your authenticity as well as your vulnerability. Thank you for inviting us into your life.
Y’all are such an encouragement to me! My husband and I have been struggling with TTC, but y’all’s videos always make me smile! I worked in child care for several years and a small tip for potty training when they have the concept (disclaimer: it doesn’t work for every kid) would be to use ‘big girl panties’ even if she has accidents and test it out for an allotted amount of time! Sometime pull ups give kids a ‘way’ to have an accident, but typically when they have accidents in ‘big girl panties’ it feels different. Just an idea for you if you haven’t already tried it. 💕
I did the same thing with my daughter. Pull-ups felt too much like a diaper. I put her in big girl panties, and she had maybe one accident and she was fully potty trained.
Tips I’ve learned from potty training is don’t rush it. My daughter was fully potty trained by her 2nd birthday and my son he was 3 before he even showed interest. But I only used pull-ups at night or if we was doing long travel trips. We went straight to underwear and it really seemed to help bc they didn’t like the wet feeling. My pediatrician told us pull ups are similar to a diapers and they don’t really get the feeling of being wet.
Wow Carlin you are so mature in how you look at things. You both are a great example of being a real Christian. Keep researching and studying out God's Word, there is a lot to find. I watched your family grow up on Growing up Bates (can't remember if that was the name for sure). Both my husband and I loved it so much. You are so very blessed to have such a big loving Christian family. I love your little family of 4. You 2 are so cute. Wow Evan you sing really good and so does Carlin. You should try and sing together, it would be great. I just love listening to your answers. Keep being real and being you, you both Rock On the Lord Jesus.
Y’all are amazing. I’ve said it so many times before , but I’ll always say I look forward to every Saturday just to watch y’all’s blog. I love how y’all always put God first and your not afraid to show your love for him. I feel honored to be a part of the Stew Crew. Prayers always and we love y’all. ❤
Both of you are so cute and sweet together. Your babies are beautiful, and from what I know of the Bates family and just for seeing Evan's family, I don't think you are going to mess up as parents with your kids. Love to your family!
What I love about about your video’s is that I enjoy the times you play golf with your family, I love Evans skits and when Carlin and Mama B and the girls model the new dresses and anytime you are around your families, honestly I enjoy all your videos no matter if you’re just doing q&a
Hi Evan and Carlin!! I would absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE if yall recorded your wedding song, it is truly an absolutely beautiful song, with your lyrics and voices it’s simply amazing !! Kudos Evan on your skills to writing such an incredible song!!
Carlin I am 100% with you on labor! It hurts but it is seriously the most amazing thing!! Such a crazy experience and there is nothing else like it in the world!
When I was expecting my 1st child someone gave me some great advice on childbirth. It is the worst pain you will ever feel but it is the most beautiful thing you will ever do in your life.
My pregnancy (mostly the birth) triggered my Lyme Disease. It was dormant in my body. A traumatic experience can “bring it to life.” That might be something Carlin should be tested for. Lyme can cause so many symptoms, it’s unreal.
The struggle is real with couples that the husband asks where do you want to eat and wife says I don't care but then he picks the two restaurants you hate 😅
Hi!!! I’ve had eerily very similar episodes like you. Same thing where the episodes were not happening when I was hooked up to machines so the EEG couldn’t pick up anything. I was eventually diagnosed with PNES, Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures. Try asking your Dr about this. Hope this helps! Thank you for your videos, have a BLESSED day!
Great video. Can’t believe you closed out the video without answering that last question, lol. I actually enjoy seeing Evan’s family on your vlog. You can tell Layla really loves them.
I’m cracking up, Evan you should do standup, Christian’s need some funny clean humor. I would definitely buy a ticket😅love all of you, a long time follower since you were very young Carlin 🦋
Im originally from KY, but I now live in Evans, GA….20 min from Augusta National!! My 17 yr old just finished up his 2nd year working at the check stand for the tournament. He said the Dude Perfect crew was there again this year, and he was fangirling with some of his co-workers. 😂 My husband is on staff at a church here, and we’ve been able to get into The Masters a couple of times through help from church friends. A lot of people come to the area just to work the tournament that week. I hope y’all get to go someday. It’s beautiful, and an experience like none other.
I have heard ( but not done the research) that a rare side affect of epidurals can cause an onset of seizures. Don't even know if you had one ( even though I've watched all your videos from day 1.) 🤪 Something my husband and I do regarding where to eat....We each independently name 3-5 restaurants we could go to. Then one at a time, we get to cross off one restaurant from the others list...until we get down to one or two left. Then we either toss a coin or pretty easily agree where to go. LOL it has saved us a LOT of decision-making time. I love your family videos. Thanks for all the sharing! Praying for you, Carlin. God is Sovereign ....He knows every detail. Best physician ever He loves you and will give you His BEST .....You are in GREAT hands!! Oh...totally agree with you on potty training. When I did it (years ago) I just figured...they'll either agree to do it...or peer pressure will ultimately win. LOL They learned way before peer pressure was an issue. Never worth sweating it out.....
Potty Training!!! My sons refused training no matter what was tried. Our pediatrician was the wisest person on so many levels.....he said "if they are 4½ & aren't trained (before 5yr), contact him. Guide & keep helping, but DO NOT PUSH OR SHAME, GET MAD, etc". Whew! So freeing for us all. My sons are 2 years apart & both were ready at age 4. Longer wait was so worth the decreased hassle. I would love to hear you 2 sing together again. 🎵🎶🎵. Blessings to you 4! 🤗✝️
I enjoy when you guys have Q&A and I also enjoy you all share the gospel of Jesus and sharing your personal life and I look forward to your videos every Saturday about you and your little family life and I enjoy seeing you and Carlin being yourselves and with your beautiful babies and Evan I also enjoy golf and I also know very well about the masters golf tournament during golf season and Carlin if you ever have any questions about epilepsy I am a 27 1/2 year epileptic young lady and I have been through so many med changes with my epilepsy but thank God my epilepsy has been under control for three years now and I’m also studying for my license and also I support your decision on talking to all your doctors about the medication before Having baby number three and I continue to pray for you and Evan and Layla and Zade 🙏🙏🙏 God bless you and your beautiful family🙏🙏🙏
Your sharing of health issues truly was inspirational as I go through health issues too, and seeing how a Christian goes through it helps a lot. Thank you.
Hi Carlin my daughter also has the same health issues . Don’t give up for answers it took us a few years to find answers. My daughter has had seizures since 2012. You are the same age. It’s a hard road because lack of answers is stressful.
Home schooling and co-op go great together. I help Home school two if my grandchildren one is 4 doing preschool and her brother is 5 and I'm doing kindergarten with him. We attended co-op on Fridays at our church. It's been an amazing experience and the kids are doing so good. You guys would love it. And like you said get them into other activities. Our gymnastics gym opens up on Thursday for home schoolers only from 10-11 am and it's 5 bucks. The skating rink does home school days to. I'm sure you could find things in your area. Prayers for your precious family
#FavUA-camrs! I’m 16 and from New Orleans and my family just had our 29th annual crawfish boil today! This is our first annual crawfish bowl since Covid and it really made me realize how special family and friends are! Never take it for granted! Love y’all so much! Be blessed!❤
God has already blessed you with a beautiful girl and cute little boy. Take care of your self Carlin and make sure your ready before another child. Praying for your family. Your all such a blessing
I'm just to blessed to be able to see that your both real and honest even with your kids it does help with people like me. you should go out to like big zoo with the kids cause they would enjoy that n also take them to like some other places for the kids to enjoy also.
I would love to see a video of y'all reacting to old videos, whether it's ones you've posted, or like really old videos before you had a channel. Only if that's something you would want though of course! Loved the vid
Evan you are a lot younger then me I’m very respectful. Evan you are right. I have epilepsy, i had 7 brain surgeries. I have chiari maliformation. Was in a wheelchair for almost ten years, my third brain surgeon my brain surgeon through Christ performed a miracle. I am out of a wheelchair & I can walk again. Tell Carlin I watch y’all videos & yes Evan she is a great inspiration to me & everyone else. Ty Carlin for being strong,courageous, loving,caring & always thinking about your UA-cam family. I love y’all.
You are smart to be planning homeschooling. You can determine how each child learns the best (e.g. auditory, visual, etc) and use the appropriate teaching technique for each child. You also can let them learn at their own pace. Lastly, they will be safe - schools are very dangerous places because of our gun culture - I’m really glad my kids are beyond school years.
I really enjoyed that. You two are so adorable. I loved the show, and miss it. But, having you all individually is awesome. Following your lives is so fun. We laugh and cry with you. Carlin, you health is very important. Yes, people are watching how you handle this journey that you’re on. Your faith is tested and you are handling things so well. God Bless all of you. P. S. I love Zades rolls…..😂😂😂
Best best best video I’ve watched of you guys. You seemed so focused and genuine in your responses. Favorite moments were, Carlin asking Evan to reset because she loved every moment of labor including the painful parts, Evan saying heck no to super power of reading minds, knowing Evan is happy and enjoying what he’s doing for work, and hearing Carlin be earnest about having squabbles with siblings take both siblings to want to work it out, and finally Evan’s answer about not jamming religion down people’s throats because people prefer to observe a good person living a Christina life, versus hearing someone scold about their beliefs. Great job guys! ♥️ I’m impressed with you both in this Q&A.
Thank you both for sharing Jesus and shining His light! Praying you all get answers for your health issues. Just in case it could help, have you looked into a holistic doctor or someone who understands the MTHFR mutations that your family has? We have the same mutations and knowledge of the optimal diet and supplements has been so helpful to heal our health issues. Continued prayers and blessings for you all!
Yes, yes, yes to the learning piano vlog. 😂. I regret quitting piano lessons as a child. Even if you can’t do a step by step, maybe an update on progress every now and then.
Your both such a loving couple and so sweet with each other. I was just thinking about how Evan sang to you (Carlin). Would love to hear ya both sing together. May our Lord keep blessing ya both and your family. Praying that Carlin finds out soon what is going on with her health. ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing pieces of your life with us! You both give such a lift to my day with your weekly u tube episodes. It's so nice to see a young couple following Jesus & holding on to Him through the ups & downs of life.
Carlin's dark hair is beautiful!
I just recently knew of the Bates Family, so of course, I never knew her prior to dark hair, and I can’t imagine it any other color. It’s beautiful!
Our pastor says you should walk the walk and talk the talk! Our lives should definitely reflect Christ! & The Bible also says that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God! Gospel conversations do matter, not just Biblical living!
I think your dad & mom are awesome examples of walking the walk, and talking the talk! They actually share Scripture and Biblical encouragement, & I really admire that! I think you all have a huge platform you’ve been given by God to use for His Kingdom indeed! 🙏🏻💛
Carlin I love way you answered about how you and Evan decide what you feel is best and no disrespect to your parents about your standards or what Lord speaks to you about.That was so sweet and respectful to your parents.
I appreciate Carlins honesty with the questions about her family!
I think that would be hilarious for Carlin to teach Evan the piano. 😊
I absolutely want to see you teach Evan to play the piano! This Q&A was the best video I have seen! Y'all are incredible people. 😍
I'd love to hear her play!
Carlin, you can do a lesson every week so I can learn too! 😊 I’ve been trying to teach myself piano ever since I was about 11 (I’m 65 now!) I always wanted to take piano lessons but never really got to. I did take a little class called “class piano 1 & 2” at junior college (now known as community college).

I loved the TV show as well and have missed it! Carlin, you were always fun on that show as well as now! 😊
Can you guys do a video with Tori, Josie and their families? I would love to see the kids and you guys interact.
That would be great to see Tori and Josie's families together with Carlin's family! I bet a lot of fans would love to see that happen!
I've raised 6 kids. Potty training and teaching to drive are 2 of the toughest!!😄
Evan and Carlin, You should never worry about how long your videos are. My wife and I would watch an hour video each time. Don’t get too full of yourselves but you are both easy to watch and entertaining. Be encouraged and keep being authentic and genuine!
Carlin, you should teach Evan to play the piano and Evan, you should record your songs with Travis. It was nice to hear these questions answered, it helps us get to know you both better. Love seeing all of you and your family doing UA-cam. I miss Bringing up Bates. Mama B should have a channel
❤you all so much !!! Even when you hit a rough patch l am still not going to miss any messages from you. This 82years old great gramma is right here cheering you on.😊❤😊...A #1 member of the STEW CREW !!! BLESSINGS...
We really did enjoy this. The truthfulness and vulnerability are courageous. We learn nothing from "perfect" people. Sharing insecurity helps more than hiding it. Thanks

Actions speak louder than words as they say and your belief in Jesus definitely shows in your actions.
Carlin, you are inspiring others through your difficult health walk. I see God using you to inspire others, encourage others and help them feel less alone.
In a world where there are many fake influencers, I appreciate your realness. Thank you both.
Ĵɓɓ
I love the stew family! As you call us ! Yall are so natural at your videos and very loving family. Keep up the great work
I think you guys are incredibly blessed in this day to be able to work together. You're building your marriage and making memories that will last forever. And you're all a blast to watch. ❤
I would love to see Evan edit a music video of the 2 of yall singing carlins voice is beautiful too !
I definitely recommend making a video of Carlin giving Evan piano lessons!!
That’s one thing I absolutely love about you guys is you don’t shove anything down our throats an never seem judgemental ❤
Would love to see more of Zach and Whitney. Miss seeing the house Reno and updates about their sweet family.
It was so refreshing to see your transparency and authenticity.
I’ve been epileptic for 41 years I’ve taken 3 different medications I have given birth 4 times, with that being said I have had multiple losses. Having children on seizure medication depends on the medication and type of seizures you have. If you have any questions about epilepsy in general please feel free to message me ❤
I laughed at the part where Carlin asks deep questions and Evan is just like why would I think about that! So relatable!
I love your family. I am sending continued prayers that Carlin’s health continues to improve and you finally get answers. I am glad to see a young couple devoted to the Lord and isn’t afraid to talk about him.
I have been watching you Carlin since 2015. You and Evan are doing a great job being vessels that God can use to help those of us who have grown up in different family situations.
I watch all of your siblings’ UA-cam channels as well. You are all doing an amazing job of being genuine real Christians. Showing the world that it’s all about letting Christ’s light shine through us, even though none of us are perfect, which is why we need Jesus. Thank you Father, for your healing that you have provided for Carlin through your precious son Jesus’s death, we declare Carlin to be healed in Jesus’s name, Amen 🙏 ❤
Y’all should do podcasts. I love listening to you guys talk about life and encouragement. Would definitely listen to your podcast if you started one ❤
Me too!
If it is epilepsy you may find that with pregnancy, it can increase. My sister developed it when pregnant with her first child and had 6 pregnancies. One precious angel didn't make it. However, after she stopped having children, things improved, and she no longer required medication. It is a good idea to have proper medical advice about future pregnancies. Best wishes to you all ❤️
My best friend is a Christian.
I am agnostic.
What Evan said about the guy he worked with is absolutely true!
I cannot stand it when religion is pushed down my throat and people feel the need to constantly attempt to preach to others. My best friend lives her life as a Christian, it’s completely obvious she loves Jesus but she never ever tries to push her beliefs on me or others. She is always respectful of everyone and answers any questions I have about her beliefs. I follow a lot of religious families as religion and peoples beliefs fascinate me, and I enjoy learning about different religions. I have to say that of all the people I follow on UA-cam.

I wish the show was still on. I miss watching them so more. Because of that show i came back to the Lord. Its amazing

You guys make my heart smile. I loved this Q&A! You all are my favorite “Bates” couple to watch.
Honestly, I’d watch anything y’all film… golf, piano, housework…. Your attitudes/personalities are great & keep me coming back for more!
Laughing so much at the epidural comment. You are inspirational and such a loving family. Thankyou.
Wow! Great video. You both have grown individually and as a couple. Actually thought I was sitting across from you both. I’m inspired by your authenticity as well as your vulnerability. Thank you for inviting us into your life.
We love the Stew Crew!! Getting to see Layla and Zade is a treat, they are just adorable!!❤
Also, love to Hear you and not background music!

These are SO fun & the best!! Can we have 2 or 3 more of these q&as?? We’ll never get tired of them!!!!
Wow Carlin you are so mature in how you look at things. You both are a great example of being a real Christian. Keep researching and studying out God's Word, there is a lot to find.

I appreciate your testimonies that you have with Jesus being the center of all you two do. What a great witness you have
I would like to see y'all do a vlog or not sure what you would call it but get Evan's parents and Carlin's parents together and talk.
Y’all are amazing. I’ve said it so many times before , but I’ll always say I look forward to every Saturday just to watch y’all’s blog. I love how y’all always put God first and your not afraid to show your love for him. I feel honored to be a part of the Stew Crew. Prayers always and we love y’all. ❤
Both of you are so cute and sweet together. Your babies are beautiful, and from what I know of the Bates family and just for seeing Evan's family, I don't think you are going to mess up as parents with your kids. Love to your family!
thanks for uploading this video, to take my mind off my cat that i had for 19 yrs and she passed away thursday.
So sorry....hope ur ok ❤
My thoughts are with you. My kitty is such an important part of my life, so I understand your grief.
I'm so sorry 😢
I am so sorry!!😢
I'm so deeply sorry ❤
What I love about about your video’s is that I enjoy the times you play golf with your family, I love Evans skits and when Carlin and Mama B and the girls model the new dresses and anytime you are around your families, honestly I enjoy all your videos no matter if you’re just doing q&a
Thank you for both being so open and sharing your personal life and faith with us! ❤️& Prayers
Hi Evan and Carlin!! I would absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE if yall recorded your wedding song, it is truly an absolutely beautiful song, with your lyrics and voices it’s simply amazing !! Kudos Evan on your skills to writing such an incredible song!!
Carlin I am 100% with you on labor! It hurts but it is seriously the most amazing thing!! Such a crazy experience and there is nothing else like it in the world!
Honestly it hurt soooo bad until the epidural but even that pain I forgot about when my son was born ! Literally the craziest experience
When I was expecting my 1st child someone gave me some great advice on childbirth.
It is the worst pain you will ever feel but it is the most beautiful thing you will ever do in your life.
My pregnancy (mostly the birth) triggered my Lyme Disease. It was dormant in my body. A traumatic experience can “bring it to life.” That might be something Carlin should be tested for. Lyme can cause so many symptoms, it’s unreal.
Evan is hysterical 😂
Carlin… loved your outfit. Is it a Bates Sisters style?
Loved the Q&A
I love your outfit also. Where can I get it! Love your family!
Carlin, I think your dark hair makes you look so elegant. I love it! Yes, I would like to watch Evan learn to play the piano! Go for it!
I love yall. Its so enjoyable to watch you two together, being yourselves, silly! Bubbly! Serious, still in love. Adorable, just adorable
Love The Stew Crew. Always praying for you all. This was fun. Evan should do a few covers and post those from time to time. Great voice!
The struggle is real with couples that the husband asks where do you want to eat and wife says I don't care but then he picks the two restaurants you hate 😅
Yes! Fixing to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary and that is still an issue with us!! 😆
Hi!!! I’ve had eerily very similar episodes like you. Same thing where the episodes were not happening when I was hooked up to machines so the EEG couldn’t pick up anything. I was eventually diagnosed with PNES, Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures. Try asking your Dr about this. Hope this helps! Thank you for your videos, have a BLESSED day!
I like how you are real people that live your faith. I keep praying for your health and family.
I just want to add my husband and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary Thursday!! We have kept Jesus on the center since the beginning!!
Great video. Can’t believe you closed out the video without answering that last question, lol. I actually enjoy seeing Evan’s family on your vlog. You can tell Layla really loves them.
Even though you didn’t say it I’m pretty sure your closest to Whitney and Katie!
Love watching you guys!🥰
Evan, your laugh is the best... Some sarcasm mixed with, " Im about to get into trouble " .. Too funny! 😂😂
You can always adopt from foster care. It’s a wonderful thing.
I’m cracking up, Evan you should do standup, Christian’s need some funny clean humor. I would definitely buy a ticket😅love all of you, a long time follower since you were very young Carlin 🦋
I think rv trip with boutique travel pop up shops would be so fun slash meet greats. And can make fun educational for all kids
Carlin & Evan you are HILARIOUS 😂 I LOVE THE QUOTE “I’m not even gonna lie”!! 😂😂
Im originally from KY, but I now live in Evans, GA….20 min from Augusta National!! My 17 yr old just finished up his 2nd year working at the check stand for the tournament. He said the Dude Perfect crew was there again this year, and he was fangirling with some of his co-workers. 😂
My husband is on staff at a church here, and we’ve been able to get into The Masters a couple of times through help from church friends. A lot of people come to the area just to work the tournament that week. I hope y’all get to go someday. It’s beautiful, and an experience like none other.
I NEED to know where Carlin’s outfit is from! Loveeeee it!
WOW Evan, YOU. CAN. SING!! Definitely, you need to find a way to share that gift with the world.
I normally don’t like live videos or Q&A but the two of you always makes your videos are fun & I love y’all ❤❤❤
I have heard ( but not done the research) that a rare side affect of epidurals can cause an onset of seizures. Don't even know if you had one ( even though I've watched all your videos from day 1.) 🤪 Something my husband and I do regarding where to eat....We each independently name 3-5 restaurants we could go to. Then one at a time, we get to cross off one restaurant from the others list...until we get down to one or two left. Then we either toss a coin or pretty easily agree where to go. LOL it has saved us a LOT of decision-making time. I love your family videos. Thanks for all the sharing! Praying for you, Carlin. God is Sovereign ....He knows every detail. Best physician ever He loves you and will give you His BEST .....You are in GREAT hands!! Oh...totally agree with you on potty training. When I did it (years ago) I just figured...they'll either agree to do it...or peer pressure will ultimately win. LOL They learned way before peer pressure was an issue. Never worth sweating it out.....
Evan keeps me entertained for sure! Love you guys. Lol
Potty Training!!! My sons refused training no matter what was tried. Our pediatrician was the wisest person on so many levels.....he said "if they are 4½ & aren't trained (before 5yr), contact him. Guide & keep helping, but DO NOT PUSH OR SHAME, GET MAD, etc". Whew! So freeing for us all. My sons are 2 years apart & both were ready at age 4. Longer wait was so worth the decreased hassle. I would love to hear you 2 sing together again. 🎵🎶🎵. Blessings to you 4! 🤗✝️
I think Carlin driving the golf cart and Evan golfing would be hilarious!
I enjoy when you guys have Q&A and I also enjoy you all share the gospel of Jesus and sharing your personal life and I look forward to your videos every Saturday about you and your little family life and I enjoy seeing you and Carlin being yourselves and with your beautiful babies and Evan I also enjoy golf and I also know very well about the masters golf tournament during golf season and Carlin if you ever have any questions about epilepsy I am a 27 1/2 year epileptic young lady and I have been through so many med changes with my epilepsy but thank God my epilepsy has been under control for three years now and I’m also studying for my license and also I support your decision on talking to all your doctors about the medication before Having baby number three and I continue to pray for you and Evan and Layla and Zade 🙏🙏🙏 God bless you and your beautiful family🙏🙏🙏
Your sharing of health issues truly was inspirational as I go through health issues too, and seeing how a Christian goes through it helps a lot. Thank you.
God Bless you ❤
Hi Carlin my daughter also has the same health issues . Don’t give up for answers it took us a few years to find answers. My daughter has had seizures since 2012. You are the same age. It’s a hard road because lack of answers is stressful.
Y’all are both encouraging to all of us!! I just hope that y’all know how much you are loved!!!
Home schooling and co-op go great together. I help Home school two if my grandchildren one is 4 doing preschool and her brother is 5 and I'm doing kindergarten with him. We attended co-op on Fridays at our church. It's been an amazing experience and the kids are doing so good. You guys would love it. And like you said get them into other activities. Our gymnastics gym opens up on Thursday for home schoolers only from 10-11 am and it's 5 bucks. The skating rink does home school days to. I'm sure you could find things in your area. Prayers for your precious family
#FavUA-camrs! I’m 16 and from New Orleans and my family just had our 29th annual crawfish boil today! This is our first annual crawfish bowl since Covid and it really made me realize how special family and friends are! Never take it for granted! Love y’all so much! Be blessed!❤
God has already blessed you with a beautiful girl and cute little boy. Take care of your self Carlin and make sure your ready before another child. Praying for your family. Your all such a blessing
I'm just to blessed to be able to see that your both real and honest even with your kids it does help with people like me. you should go out to like big zoo with the kids cause they would enjoy that n also take them to like some other places for the kids to enjoy also.
I remember the Bates recording when you sang to Carlin in the park
Giving your ♥️to her. I still have it on my DVR. Was SOOOOOO IMPRESSED. RECORD IT
I would love to see a video of y'all reacting to old videos, whether it's ones you've posted, or like really old videos before you had a channel. Only if that's something you would want though of course! Loved the vid
Oh great idea!!!👌👌👌
Evan you are a lot younger then me I’m very respectful. Evan you are right. I have epilepsy, i had 7 brain surgeries. I have chiari maliformation. Was in a wheelchair for almost ten years, my third brain surgeon my brain surgeon through Christ performed a miracle. I am out of a wheelchair & I can walk again. Tell Carlin I watch y’all videos & yes Evan she is a great inspiration to me & everyone else. Ty Carlin for being strong,courageous, loving,caring & always thinking about your UA-cam family. I love y’all.
I love the Q&A's. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.
You are smart to be planning homeschooling. You can determine how each child learns the best (e.g. auditory, visual, etc) and use the appropriate teaching technique for each child. You also can let them learn at their own pace. Lastly, they will be safe - schools are very dangerous places because of our gun culture - I’m really glad my kids are beyond school years.
I been watching y'all just before Layla was born love y'all so much.
I really enjoyed that. You two are so adorable. I loved the show, and miss it. But, having you all individually is awesome. Following your lives is so fun. We laugh and cry with you. Carlin, you health is very important. Yes, people are watching how you handle this journey that you’re on. Your faith is tested and you are handling things so well. God Bless all of you. P. S. I love Zades rolls…..😂😂😂
Best best best video I’ve watched of you guys. You seemed so focused and genuine in your responses. Favorite moments were, Carlin asking Evan to reset because she loved every moment of labor including the painful parts, Evan saying heck no to super power of reading minds, knowing Evan is happy and enjoying what he’s doing for work, and hearing Carlin be earnest about having squabbles with siblings take both siblings to want to work it out, and finally Evan’s answer about not jamming religion down people’s throats because people prefer to observe a good person living a Christina life, versus hearing someone scold about their beliefs. Great job guys! ♥️ I’m impressed with you both in this Q&A.
Love y'all!! This was so fun! Evan, I think you should totally do piano lessons. You are already such a talented singer and songwriter!!
Thank you both for sharing Jesus and shining His light! Praying you all get answers for your health issues. Just in case it could help, have you looked into a holistic doctor or someone who understands the MTHFR mutations that your family has? We have the same mutations and knowledge of the optimal diet and supplements has been so helpful to heal our health issues. Continued prayers and blessings for you all!
Yes, yes, yes to the learning piano vlog. 😂. I regret quitting piano lessons as a child. Even if you can’t do a step by step, maybe an update on progress every now and then.
Your both such a loving couple and so sweet with each other. I was just thinking about how Evan sang to you (Carlin). Would love to hear ya both sing together. May our Lord keep blessing ya both and your family. Praying that Carlin finds out soon what is going on with her health. ❤❤❤
They sang together on their wedding, I believe there is a video of it on UA-cam...it sounds amazing!
Thank you for sharing pieces of your life with us! You both give such a lift to my day with your weekly u tube episodes. It's so nice to see a young couple following Jesus & holding on to Him through the ups & downs of life.
Carlin I love your outfit and the color looks so good on you
Carlin i love your dark hair and the length. I am not there about the blonde. But you always look great. You and Evan are inspirations
😊 great video this week, down to earth answering questions, sending hugs and prayers to your family
Keep the chocolate brown hair! You look stunning! ❤
