I’m late posting pics from our I Love You Day party, but it was one of the best parties we’ve had! Michael & Brandon made it all come to life with their fun decorations! The games were hilarious! The gift exchange was so sweet. The votes were tallied and Warden won the Biggest Heart Award- very well deserved! Callie won the Jr Heart Award- also very much deserved! We missed all that couldn’t come due to travels & sickness & commitments, but we are so thankful for another year of celebrating what

Zach & Whitney, can you believe you’ve been married 12 years and have your 6th child on the way? My mind is racing with memories! I can remember the outfits you both wore when Zach first asked to begin courting and then the outfits at your engagement, all of the excitement & nervousness & emotions that we shared… I remember visits to the Sonic where Whitney worked & all of the late night conversations, & I remember realizing Zach was head over heels in love! So many special moments through the y

Happy 4th Birthday, Charlotte! What a little angel you’ve always been- a cuddler, & a quiet, sweet, adorable, petite, precious child! I love how you always find me & come sit beside me with that little grin. You don’t say a word, you just slide beside me with a gorgeous smile, & you look up with those beautiful eyes that are always so full of love! You’re such a content one! What a joy you’ve brought to your granny! My mom used to sing me a little song, “I love you a bushel & a peck, a bushel &

Happy 3rd Anniversary, Lawson & Tiffany! You two make such a sweet little couple. Y’all make me laugh so much! I absolutely loved spending these past two weeks together on our trip! It’s so funny how much I’m like you, Lawson, & then how much alike Tiffany & Gil are! You & I would rush off fast as we could ahead of everyone at every viewpoint because of our excitement, & then Tiffany & Gil would come slowly behind (very behind) so that they could soak in everything. We were the anxious, can’t-wa

Happy 4th Birthday, Hazel! You look just like an adorable little baby doll with that precious smile of yours. You’re a little shy, but so joyful and bubbly. You’re quiet, but full of life and energy all at the same time. You have such a beautiful laugh, and I love how your little eyes squint up when you smile so big! You’re just an angel! I could talk to you all day and listen to you giggle as you tell stories! I hope your birthday is full of sunshine and fun on the lake 🥳☀️🚤💦🥰 | The Bates F

Happy 37th Birthday, Zachary Gilvin! They say that first born children are very responsible, conscientious leaders. They’re also described as being ambitious, protective, mature, & reliable. Looking at all these traits, I’d have to agree that you certainly shine in these areas & so many more. I always marveled from the time you were just a young boy at how incredibly wise you were (& still are!) I’ve sought your advice on so many occasions. You’re definitely a natural-born leader, as well. Wheth

By the time everyone is settled and the house finally gets quiet, I am soooo ready for a second to breathe 😅 A hot shower, pajamas, fresh hair, and time with Zach watching my fav show to wind down is about as good as it gets. @Herbal Essences is one of those scents that feels so nostalgic to me, and the lavender smells SO good and makes my night that much more relaxing 💜 #HerbalEssencesPartner

There are few meals more comforting than a good pot roast... but the first time I made braised short ribs my wife was addicted, and now she will choose it almost every time. Slow cooked in red wine, fresh herbs, and rich beef broth, the meat turns fall-apart tender with a sauce that's perfect over mashed potatoes. Our grocer doesn't often have short ribs, so I learned I can cut up a chuck roast for almost the same thing and save a bit as well! Braised Chuck Roast/beef short ribs Ingredients: • 1
