Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

All about Bradley: Fourth week update!

This little man was born a month ago! I know that it's not his actual first month since he doesn't turn a month until Saturday. We will have another blog on Saturday. Tomorrow he celebrates his first thanksgiving with his family members. We will have them posted as soon as we can!

One week later!

It's been a week since John and Alyssa announced that they were expecting their first child. We decided that we would do weekly blogs like we did with Zach and Whitney. We are working hard to find out the due date so we can start the weekly updates up until her due date.

Alyssa is in between her 17th week to 21 weeks pregnant with her first child.

New Bates family website!

Happy Friday to all of our fans,

The Bates family's current website is having issues and they are hoping to get a new Bates family website in the beginning of the new year. We will be updating our blog in the new year too.

Happy Birthday John!

Happy birthday to John Webster.

For those that don't know, John married Alyssa in May 2014 and they are expecting their first child due this spring

Up next with Chad and Erin!

Hey guys,

I have been getting questions about what we are going to do now that Chad and Erin have been married for 12 months. I am pretty sure that there will be blog updates here and there.

Veterns day!

In the midst of their celebration, The Bates want to thank all the veterans that have served and will serve in the upcoming years. We are so thankful for you!

Bringing up Bates

 Sorry for the huge delay in posts; a whirlwind of exciting events have happened in the past few weeks…The most important being the birth of our first grandbaby BRADLEY GILVIN BATES! The next post will be dedicated to him, with lots of adorable photos!  The day after Bradley’s birth, we headed to Arkansas for Jessa Duggar’s wedding, and enjoyed a short, but wonderful visit with special friends!

  The other exciting activity around the Bates home has included filming for a brand new show “BRINGING UP BATES,”  airing on UP TV beginning January 1st! (http://www.uptv.com/bringingupbates)

 

   We love UP TV’s goal to bring uplifting, family friendly shows to homes. We pray BRINGING UP BATES will be a positive experience that will offer hope to others, as we all encounter similar struggles faced in our parenting, relationships, faith, and family adventures!

How long are Bradley's updates going to be?

This might get a little confusing but let me try to break it down for you guys.

Bradley will have weekly updates until he turns a month old than it will be monthly until he turns two years old. Then at 2, it will be every year.


It might changed when he turns one. We will have to wait regarding the numbers of views!

All about Bradley: One week old

Bradley is one week old! We are so excited for his second week of life! Stay tune to our facebook fan page for more photos!

Bradley celebrated his first Halloween and going to the doctor for the first time too.

He loves being with his mommy and daddy.
