Looking back on a life with 19 kids! Gil Bates 60th Birthday Celebration!

[@susanbeth74]

Oh my word. When your dad said thank you for remembering the good he did and then apologized for his mistakes...😢...so many children need to hear this from their parent(s). Your parents are such a blessing!

[@Churchgirl104]

To Carlin and Evan the Stewart fam Thank you 100 times over for sharing your lives with us on your channel

[@virginiaglubisz5627]

Gil's testament, is a sign of God's grace and a STRONG belief in the power of prayer! ❤

[@patriotmama]

What a great vlog. Gill and Kelly crack me up and when your Dad said "You know what I love more than a mini----is a FREE phone!" I died laughing. So sweet that Papa Bill and Mama Jane got to be there. Just loved this. Happy Birthday Gill!

[@bowed305]

That party was incredible. I'm not sure how many different videos I've seen clips of it from, but I love them all. The Bates family is a pretty special group of folks, and I appreciate that you choose to share portions of your lives with us so generously. Thank you! I hope 2025 is the best year of your lives so far.

[@kkmills5934]

You’re so blessed! Papa Bill and Jane looked as if they enjoyed their time. Gil and Kelly are precious and they’ve instilled such good values in their children. It’s seen in the love and respect that yall have for them.

[@gracecouchrealtor4413]

Happy Birthday Gil. Great video. Fun times

[@cynthiaburns5071]

I just bought a new car and it took me 5 mins. to pick it out and just bought it right away. Thanks for showing Gil's 60th Birthday! Carlin you are so lucky to have such a great Dad! He reminds me of my Dad which has passed on. You all are making such sweet memories with these family parties. I loved the game with the parents guessing all the kids by their voice. You know they listen to all that you say to get those all right. I had tears when Zach was talking about his Dad and when Gil was talking about his Dad too! This was one of the best vlogs you have done! Thanks again for sharing! Happy 2025!

[@denisesnyder6241]

Happy Birthday Gil! Thanks for sharing his 60th birthday. Looks like a wonderful way to spend his birthday with family is the best!

[@MegaCj65]

Oh how I love the Bates family! Happy birthday Mr. Bates!

[@Lacirose88]

Gil is such a great dad, I like a free phone better lol. It was so good seeing poppa bill & mama Jane. & Gil, Kelly & the family. Gil & Kelly both look & act much younger than they are. Young at heart. ❤️

[@nanigail395]

Y’all are just so real…so sincere…so much fun to “hang out with”❣️ The testimonies about your Dad….the foundation of Jesus Christ is so evident…the true love of your mom & dad & your grandparents…thank you for sharing these special, intimate moments 🥰

[@s.c.2424]

Aww I enjoyed listening to everyone talk about your dad. Just had me teary-eyed. My father was an abusive drunk with drug issues. What I would have given to have a good dad. You are blessed, Carlin.

[@sharcerv74]

Happy Birthday, Mr. Bates! God bless you!

[@thinkforyourselfjohn3167]

[@connihudson1578]

Do whatever it takes to get together, no matter how hard. 🥰❣🙏

[@ginimarkham5492]

I absolutely adore your sweet family. What an amazing time with family, and celebrating your dad. Hold tight to these times, my dad and mom are living in my home with me as my dad is on hospice care for dementia. I would give anything to take a lil walk with him and hear his stories. Sending you all love and well wishes for the New Year.❤

[@Stephanie0517]

I really enjoyed seeing bits of your Dad's party from all of the different siblings. You kids all really spoiled him but it was much deserved. He is a great man that raised some great kids. You are so blessed with such a wonderful family. ❤

[@shaunaepperly24]

THANKYOU for Sharing Happy Birthday to Your Dad.. I just turned 60 myself.. I look forward to all y'all Videos What A wonderful Family you have God Bless 🙏

[@karriwerner2086]

Longer vehicles can be intimidating but the thing that makes the difference is the turning radius. I drive a Ford Expedition and it has an amazing turning radius. With 3 rows and a family of 5 it fits us perfectly.

[@jodimartin3757]

Happiest New Year Stew Crew! May God bless and keep you always. Thank you for continuing to take us along in your life. You provide joy, happiness, and a wholesomeness lacking in this world for so many. Never think the "fam" doesn't appreciate what you share (and the time and work it takes to do it). Extend a warm, happy birthday to Pappa Bates. As Momma Bates said, "60 looks good on him." Prayers for many more! Be blessed!

[@garyandbeverlyneeble2028]

Cadillac’s are great! We’ve had 4, and there’s no ride like a Caddy! As always, love the vlog. Happy Birthday to your sweet Dad! Loved what you showed of the party. Every time I see you all, it makes me miss the tv show so much. ❤

Thanks for taking us along with you. Your dad is so sweet. I hope you had a lovely Christmas and a happy new year. I can't wate to see what car you get ❤🥰❤🥳❤🏎❤

[@jillsiebman7832]

I just love your family! I have loved watching you all grow up. It has been such a blessing to watch your family. I come from a family of 10 siblings, so I relate to the family bond. We were raised with God being the center of our family. My parents have passed so I miss all of the loudness and laughter of a big family. Thank you for such a New Years Blessing! It means a lot that you share your family with me!!❤

[@christophernathanandwifesa6566]

Love seeing the whole Family again. Love the Stew Crew soo much!! ❤ Sandy from Florida

[@songofjoy446]

This looked like a good time with family one of the things I love about you all. Love that you are Christ centered family. Thanks for sharing. Would’ve been fun to see the card game amongst the siblings too, but it’s good to put the cameras down and just be present with family too. Happy New Year!❤

[@anthonygomez667]

Happy New Year Even and Carlin and family! Happy Birthday Gil Bates! Praise God for the God fearing man you are and how your kids reflect your reverence for the Lord.

The guessing game was the best! Even some of the kid-in-laws. Impressive!

[@Pama502]

After owning a Suburban for 11years & 279K miles; we downsized to a Cadillac. Terrible in snow and not nearly as comfortable as the Suburban. We traded it in and bought another Suburban. BTW; our kids are grown. If it’s too long; go for the Tahoe. Great ride, safe and sharp looking.

[@SarahMedford]

I just love this. I hate that your family no longer has the show. Happy birthday to your dad. I could go on and on about how much I love all of you. Happy New Year

[@lanaarndt9324]

I know that they are not considered cool, but go with a Minivan if you want convenience all the way around! Lots of room , easy entrance and exit for all ages and so easy to haul big ,long stuff like furniture and trim. I love mine so much for hauling people and stuff that even though all my kids are grown and flown I still keep buying a Sienna.

[@kateashley950]

I have to say what great parents you guys are. Zade is the sweetest little kid, my friend's son's are like a pack of wild crazy animals.
