I hope you enjoy the latest posts and pictures of our family.

For Mother's Day our children gave me a "morning with a photographer" to finally update our family picture (we haven't had a new once since before Justin left on his mission 3 years ago)! We had a great time, I so love being with my family!

The Jeff & Diane Bates family has blossomed into...

Jason & Kimberly Bates family

Jared & Julie Bates family

Ryan & Kathrin Bates family

Cory & Amy McDowell family

Justin & Alexis Bates family

The best thing about being

a parent is being a

GRANDPARENT!

The whole Bates clan from oldest to youngest!
