Alyssa bump date photos

As we get closer to announcing Maci Jo's arrival, we wanted to share some pregnancy photos that Alyssa has taken. 

Alyssa is about three weeks away from her due date. 

She can't wait to hold and see Maci Jo

we are sure that neither can the girls and John wait to meet baby Maci.

Five grandsons and counting

In case you missed the news, Zach and Whitney have announced that they are expecting a little boy. 

Baby Jayden will join older brother Bradley and cousins Carson, Kade and Kolter. 

It will be interesting to see if Kelton and Josie have a little boy bringing the total to six boys.  

Daddy daughter date

John decided that when the girls turn four, he would take them for a daddy daughter date. Allie has been enjoying them for the past two years and now its Lexi's turn to go on a daddy daughter date. 

Grandbaby #16: Boy or a girl

We all have been waiting patiently to find out if Zach and Whitney will have a little boy or a little girl since they announced their fourth pregnancy back in November 2020. We just found out that the baby will be a BOY! 

His name will be Jayden Carl Bates! 

Tori pregnancy announcement photos

Earlier this week, we shared that Bobby and Tori are expecting their child, a daughter, in June 2021. We have new photos of the soon to be family of five.

The baby will be 15 months younger than her brother, Kolter. She will also be about 2 years and 7 months younger than her brother, Kade.

It will be interesting to see if Charlotte arrives before baby Bates and Baby Balka. It will also be interesting to see if there will be another grandbaby on the way soon.

Pictures with the grandbabies

 In honor of Gil's birthday, Kelly shared new photos with their grandbabies. Now the family does have two grandbabies on the way. One is due in February while the other one is due in June. If you notice that Bobby and Tori's boys are not featured, Kelly did say that Tori has not been able to get her family photos done but will soon.
