A lot of us fans of Bringing Up Bates follow all you children of the show on RU-vid. I’m happy you all are on here, so I/we can keep up with the Bates.
I think Great American Country and Pure Flic should start a new show with the Bates family . I would love to watch a new generation of Bates on TV ! Love y'all !!!
Yes, I have thought about writing to them and showing them all of the followers they have and all the comments of how they are missed. I am no one important just a dedicated fan!
I remember the episode where you flipped your car. Your dad really was calm and made sure you knew how much God was protecting you. It was the day you had Zach and Whitney’s baby shower; when she was expecting Bradley.
Watched all of your tv episodes & just admire your parents & how they raised you in a Christian home & had such fun with all of you & celebrated each one of you in a special way❣️ And always were a positive witness to God’s plan for marriage & family ❤👏✝️
We watched Bringing up Bates as well as United Bates of America with our children. We also won $1000 watching y’all on UpTv when they ran a sweepstakes. What a blessing that was! We were able to buy two used couches that we needed. We have met several of the Bates family and your dad invited everyone to Tori and Bobbi’s wedding at one of Lawson’s charity concerts. We went to the wedding and one of our children can be seen on the show in the wedding episode. You have a wonderful family! Your dad has invited us to church but we live over an hour away near Pigeon Forge and haven’t been able to make it yet. God bless you Trace and Lydia!
I have watched all the Bates somce the first time they were on the duggars. I have literally watched you all grow up. I am in the UK and believe me there are lots of people over here who just love all of you ❤
Trace, your family had such a different energy than the Duggars. Your family was full of joy and laughter. The theme song was so catchy, and your two youngest brothers when they were little.... adorable! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Trace, for sharing and for your positivity and for not saying hurtful things about your family. I love that your family shares Christ. God bless you all 💞
Trace, I guess I have watched every episode in your growing up. Each one of the Bate’s children are such caring special people along with good looking!! I was so impressed the way your Mother and Dad raised all of you. They are Exceptional parents and human beings. I grew up in Clinton so I feel like we grew up the same way. I’m now in North Carolina but Tennessee will always be my home!! I so enjoy you, Lydia and Riker’s u-tube channel!!!
Never watched or knew about the Bates family...now I follow the different vlogs from many of them. Such wonderful kids who are raising their own families. Your parents did a fabulous job raising you!!
Michelle and Billy Boring are friends of mine and I can tell from how they talk about your family that you're as normal in real life as you appear to be on the show! I watched y'all on the Duggar show, United Bates of America and BUB and loved them all! I was SO BUMMED when the show was canceled and SO THRILLED that so many of you do RU-vid. It's like being able to keep up with friends and family that moved across country! I hope you'll all keep doing them and really love it when you include you younger siblings that aren't old enough to do VLOGS or Tori/Bobby who aren't as crazy about being in the lime light! Keep up the great work! One thing I've always wondered was if y'all had to convince your mom and dad's families to be included when y'all did things like ILY day and July 4th at the farm. Was it awkward for them? Every single one of them seem as wonderful as the rest of you!
I have been rewatching the show the last couple of months!!!! I Watched it when it was on UP TV! Love it so much!!! Love all of you guys! Y’all are a blessing to watch!!! A true family of God! That’s what made the show so good!!! God bless you both!!
It would be so fun to see you guys react to some of the episodes of Bringing up Bates! It would be even more funnfor a bunch of you guys to get together for a rewatch vlog. I've been watching from the beginning, I watched the Duggars from the beginning too. I love when y'all still see each other.
Interesting to hear the background stories about the show. You can do a PART 2 and continue answering the questions you weren't able to get to yet. You have a gorgeous cat!
This was fun! I've watched the show all along. It's been a joy watching you and your siblings grow. I love how open you are to meet people. So kind of you.
Your Dad and mom are the best, and it shows on you kids , i love watching all the Bates vlog s , May God continue to bless y'all ❤ Ty for bringing us along ❤️
I remember you flipping the car. I remember you trying out for the stampede. I never thought you were awkward talking on camera. I do remember you didn't talk as much as some of the others. If I remember correctly your mom was pregnant with Jen right after the Duggar tapings of building the house. I loved those as well. I do remember her introducing Jeb to everyone. I love the bates family. I love everyone of them and every in law is great as well. Ty Lydia and Trace. I watch all the reruns.
Started watching Bringing up bates when it came out. Still go back and watch Trace I met your Dad and Mom one year at Dollywood Michael and Brandon was there and a few grandchildren Your dad invites us to church and one day i will get there. Hopefully i can meet you and Lydia and Ryker Thanks for the video. ❤
I started watching the show late. But I've watched all seasons at least 3 times and now showing them to the grandkids. I have turned them onto all the RU-vid channels! ❤
My 18 yr old son works out daily, he loves it! Swims,.runs, does all kinds of workouts on an app and at the gym. But he also hurt his back on the row machine! Also another time doing dead lifts. Glad youre better! Thanks for doing this video! Its nice to hear the behind the scenes stuff!
I just love your post and seeing Ryker now showing his teeth and his giggling. Such a happy little boy in a secure and safe happy family and a adorable mummy and daddy.❤
I really enjoyed this discussion about the show! Knowing things behind the scenes is so interesting. Loved the show and all of the Bates family! Thank you for sharing your lives with us. Seeing the next generation is precious!
Fun to learn more. I didn’t start watching the shows until later on but I appreciated the content. That’s really sweet that you guys keep things real and want people to come up and meet you if they see you. That’s awesome. Ryker is adorable and I can’t believe he is almost one.
I missed your vlog. I'm glad that you're back! I watched your family's shows on Up TV! I really enjoyed getting to know your family! God bless you all! 🙏❤
My absolute favorite “trace memory” is the youngest son, I think it was Jen, who always listed Trace in his besties no matter what. I love that bond that they share.
Love this…remember all the shows on TLC and UP TV …loved watching you and your beautiful family grow up, the Weddings and the babies. Wish the show would come back but are a least enjoying all of your weekly you tubes so thanks for doing this for us. Loved hearing you talk about the show. Lydia besides being an awesome photographer and Mama is an amazing interviewer. ♥️🙏🏻♥️
He absolutely got recognized by me and my husband at Burger King across from Dreammore! And yes we introduced ourself to him! I felt like I met someone famous! 😂😂 I had followed the family from the beginning!
funny story- I once saw what looked like Kelly jo TWIN at a shopping plaza in Pennsylvania a few years back. I thought "how funny she looked like like Kelly jo but were too far from TN for it to be her." come to find out it was the weekend of Nathans wedding and the family was in PA! I wished I had gone and tried to say hello. ♡ being from Connecticut I doubt ill ever run into another family member haha
Pigeon Forge was always our favorite place to go. Still is mine! Love Dolly’s Stampede. Love this vlog. Loved the show, and still miss it. Best looking kids….every last one of them! ❤
Loved hearing about the filming. I watched your family from the beginning and love all of your you tube pages as well as instagram. Thanks for keeping us all updated.
I watched your show from the very beginning and I remember watching the Duggers build your house. It was always a good Christian show and fun. I wish it was still on, but now I watch all of you on RU-vid and that has been great too. I wish all of the Bates kids that are grown would participate. Thanks for also having some of the younger kids in your videos at times too. Y’all are great!
Thank u for sharing ur life. I look forward to the vlogs. ❤ I watched Bringing Up Bates, all the seasons. U guys fo a great job on ur Vlog. God Bless you three.
My sons are 12 years apart. My oldest son was big brother/dad. He was in the AirForce and after 4 years came home despite all the money offers to stay in he told them “my brother is growing up and I’m missing that. They were best men at each others wedding. They are both fathers now and are very close
Wanted to add how much I loved and miss your family's show. I don't understand how they could take it off the air. For so many of us it was the only healthy thing on t.v to watch and we miss it terribly! How we wish it would come back on and just cover all the new marriages and babies plus your parents.
Thanks for starting to answer questions about the earlier shows. I still think it’s weird that you and Lydia have not sat down and watched the shows in full. My childhood had film with a super eight or regular eight camera and I always love to watch those while growing up. Would’ve loved to have had a show like yours to document and look back on. I hope you will continue to answer more questions like the ones I put in the comments with the last video. I’ve had them on my phone for quite a while in case I ever get the chance to ask one of you guys. 💜
I've watched every episode of BUB. Some episodes I've watched a few times. I was so disappointed when the show was canceled. Actually, I unsubscribed from UP TV after that. BUB was the only reason I subscribed to UP. Great vlog! The best Bates couple by far!💙💙
I love all your vlogs, but I really loved this one. It was so cool learning about behind the scenes of the show. Thank you for sharing!!! I miss the show very much as well as many others, so I am sooo thankful many of you have you tube channels to keep up with your personal journey’s!
Evan and Carlin just talked In their video about what kids response would be to them on the show I love the bond that even Lydia has now with Papa Bill Jane Jane your parents and 😅 siblings she also is the best family photographer
My cousin was a paratrooper in the Israeli army. In the 90's when skydiving started becoming popular here in the states my cousin didn't understand why it was a "thing". Then my mom said "it's because they aren't diving over barbed wire with a bazooka gun strapped to their back" 😂😂
Trace that show will be an excellent memory for him of people like Papa Bill and Mamma Jane. Also, he will be able to see the days when your mom and dad were younger, as well as when you were younger.
Trace! as a fellow horse owner who has them on my own backyard farm , I’d love to know your story of getting into horses! Have horses always been a thing in your family? I’m so curious the behind the scenes of it all lol! Like how did you get started, where were they boarded, (it seemed like a small farm not far from your house?) who went over daily to care for them, what was your daily routine with them? Did any of them have silly quirks? Who was your favorite to ride? I’d love to hear more in your next Q&A video! 🐴 thanks!
Lydia needs to watch your old show i remember when you added on. That is one thing that you can watch with Ryker and have all those on videos and great memories
Loved and really miss the show. So, glad that I can catch up on RU-vid. Earlier episodes, I was very confused, because at home with the family I would see another girl and think what sister is that? She was on many scenes...must have been a close friend. 😊
I love watching your videos. Your videos are always inspiring and fantastic I love seeing how much Rucker has grown over the past few months. He is so cute. ❤❤hope you guys have an amazing weekend ❤love you guys ❤.
I binge watched Bringing up Bates and bought United Bates of America. I've enjoyed watching you all grown up to wonderful adults. Some of the kids like Jeb I think he was 2 and it was so funny watching him then being a typical toddler to how he is today at 12 or 13.
I just spent four days in Gatlinburg , Pigeon Forge for my birthday. Cut through and took the old path from Rocky top (Lake City), through Clinton, Claxton, Powell, Knoxville. Stop by Bates sisters boutique, hoping to see one of the girls. But no one was there. Stopped in sonic to get something to eat, but realized they were closed for remodel.
We are going to Dollywood next summer! All because I have watched you all for years and when I saw episodes of Dollywood I have wanted to go. Plus I love dolly!!! Would love to meet you so I'm hoping you and your family will be there 😁😁😁
I really enjoyed your q&a. Of course I enjoy all of your videos. You both are so sweet and humble. Lydia if you watched the episodes where Trace was dating. I think you'd just see how sweet and shy he was. Just a lil crush nothing like what upu have. I think I said this last week but one of my favorites was when trace and his mom went clothes shopping. God bless you're swet lil family. Thanks for sharing. 🙏❤️
I really enjoyed watching the video about Bring up Bates. Lydia may not have ever seen it, but I watched all of them. Also watched the Duggars and friends coming to help you build a bigger house on their program.
