Unseen July Birthdays photos

 In the month of July, The Bates have two double birthdays. The first one is Kelton and Papa Bill. As many of you know that Papa Bill passed away in May 2025 so this year marked his first birthday in heaven.

Papa Bill would have celebrated his 87th Birthday while Kelton celebrated his 30th birthday.

The second one is with William and Willow.
