GOODBYE GETS HARDER EACH YEAR! JULY 4TH ON THE BATES FAMILY FARM!

[@susandickson1644]

Loved watching you with your grandpa holding hands Carlin.

[@mirandamarks6261]

Layla and Zade helping out with the groceries was so precious! Love the progress on the pool! I'm so glad you got to see the grandparents again!!

[@jennifermartin5066]

Absolutely precious seeing the kids helping you bring in the groceries and helping to put things on counter. Doing a good job parents!!! Keep it up!! Training them up while they are young…so important. Layla and Zade…good job!!!!!

[@VondoCondo]

The vlog quality is *chefs kiss*! It feels like an episode of tv every week. Tell Even he’s doing his big one!

[@jortz27]

Agree 💯

[@lawbates]

Can’t wait for the pool! Great memories at the farm!

[@Nunyabusiness82777]

Seeing Carlin walking with Papa Bill gave me tears…. ❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@tb3685]

My dad used to 86 and is going through dementia. It touches my heart to see Papa Bill and all the family around him.

[@LeslieMcGuire-nq7yn]

Awesome to see your babies helping with the everyday chores of life. Everyone pitches in.

[@brendakoehler8551]

Love watching you with your grandparents!! My grandfather, Papa Joe, was also born on July 4th & we always had big celebrations too!!! Brings back bittersweet memories!! 🤗He had Alzheimer’s the last couple years of his life. Cherish every moment!! 🤗

[@alicee7543]

I think I said this a couple weeks ago. But you have the cutest kids on the planet. I love Zades tossing the water to dad and his golf swing. Layla putting the toilet paper away. I'm so excited for you that you're getting your pool. God bless you!

[@donnakytle6595]

Loved you holding your papa's hand,so precious, memories you won't forget!!!

[@paulagarretson2988]

Love the time u spend with ur grandfather. U both are teaching ur children how important time together is to everyone. ❤

[@marianne362]

I appreciate Papa Bill’s words of wisdom! He is a blessing and I pray for him and Mama Jane.

[@ashleighburroughs3581]

Love seeing your grandparents!! Layla and Zade helping unload the groceries was so sweet!!

[@meganmccann8372]

I am sitting here in a puddle of tears!! This is so sweet! My Pawpaw was taken from me in 2022 and struggled with dementia for years! I took care of him for years and would hold his hand, we would take walks, and just talk!! We had such a special bond as you do with your grandfather Carlin!! This breaks my heart!! Praying that you have many more years with your grandfather!!

[@nancymosley708]

Always fun to watch your fam. I loved the kids helping and your family time at the farm. Your kids make me smile so much. Special memories for you all.

[@garyandbeverlyneeble2028]

It’s great you’re teaching the kids to help. I’m like Carlin with the unpacking after a trip. Drives me crazy until I get it done! Love the vlog! Always so interesting and fun. Thank you for sharing your lives with us. ❤❤

[@joanneschwartz3753]

Loved the video! I'm so happy that you were able to go to the farm to celebrate the 4th and Papa Bill's birthday! What a blessing to spend time with family! Layla and Zade are awesome helpers! God bless you all! 🙏❤️

[@loveJesuslovesingingandmusic24]

Carlin, cherish every second you get with your Papa Bill. I lost my great grandfather, whom I was very close with, when I was 10 and I miss him so much. Also, y’all are the cutest! Layla and Zade are so adorable, so sweet, and well behaved! Can’t wait for a hopefully soon new little Stew Crew member 🤩 Again, loving see y’all meet up with Taylor and Soph. So fun! 😆 Hope you enjoy your pool :) It’s so exciting! And belated happy birthday Papa Bill and Happy Independence!

[@Sandra-vg1jn]

All these recent Bates videos about the farm are so touching. It makes me feel so nostalgic about my and my husband’s grandparents and farm life. What a wonderful time of life it was for us, and I know it is for your family also! Watching your children at their young age helping with the groceries, was very cute. It’s also quite fun to see your excitement about the pool; in fact seeing your enthusiasm for life is enjoyable! One more thing-I must comment about pool safety like many others on here. Alarms for the house doors that lead to the pool and an alarm on the gate to the safety fencing around your pool are so important. Little children and other family members and pets need to be protected from pool accidents. I don’t know if you have neighbors close to you, but occasionally kids wander off from home and endanger themselves on someone else’s property. Of course people should be watching their own kids, but sometimes little ones do the unexpected! I know zero about property insurance and liability, but I’m sure you guys have thought about that. Take care, and we love your videos! 😊❤

[@loribillings3810]

Your Grandpa is so sweet. Wishing you the age of 86 was so special 😊 making memories you'll have for a lifetime. I remember always crying when we would leave my Grandparent's farm as a child. I can still get choked up 😢 I'm the same way after grocery shopping, out to eat sounds so much better than cooking.

[@kategalyen8614]

Way to be good helpers, Layla and Zade. Love that Izzy.❤🐕🐾

[@juliescott5066]

Please take every safety measure you can , like a small protective fence around the edge of the pool for the kids. Pools are wonderful, I grew up with pools, but even if they take swimming lessons, water can be very dangerous. Have fun with your new pool. You are blessed to have one.

[@caitlin9150]

Totally conquer

[@debramullaly1530]

Pool covers and alarms that alert you when the door is opened and or when someone /something falls into the water…

[@lucyroberts2800]

Fit a pool alarm

[@angelaedwards5124]

Yes because they would not have thought of the safety for their kids!🙄

[@lucyroberts2800]

Sorry cat walked across when I was replying I know you’re both sensible but it’s just not worth thinking about with the open water and your precious babies . Please fit a pool alarm 😻

[@haleywhitten1947]

[@vicky266]

Loved seeing Carlin walking with Papa Bill! So glad you guys were able to go to the farm to celebrate his birthday and the 4th of July. Layla and Zade did a great job helping out with putting away the groceries. Also, the pool is really coming together nicely. Love y’all 💖💙💞💙

[@christafatora8582]

When you were walking to the pool on the farm reminiscing about when you were courting and seeing you now parents of 2 little ones, actually brought tears to my eyes. It's such a privilege to watch your entire family change and grow. Love you guys! May God continue to bless the Bates family. 🙏

[@hopefulhope9123]

I personally trying to stay away from social media and definitely don't watch movies or TV it's nice to have a really well put together simple and wholesome episode type show to watch I really appreciate it

[@patriotmama]

LOVE that pool! Can't wait to see it done. Such sweet video of the farm and your grandparents. They are so so sweet. What memories you are making for your kids. Well done! Love your videos.

[@katieinman2305]

I love seeing you make the unpacking a family adventure and the kids learning to help the family is so important! Watching several family vlogs of the trip to the farm I hear over and over that so many think they are Janes's favorite that just warms my heart so much; it means she has made each of you feel so special what a wonderful way to grow! Have a great week.

[@annabrey6140]

Always enjoy watching your vlogs of your trips to the farm. Having a grandparent with dementia is so hard and so hard. Crying alongside with you!

[@christieholmes2925]
