I remember seeing your mom in a video (maybe one of Erin’s) saying how one of her main priorities with you kids was to recognize and nurture your individual personalities. It definitely shows. She and your dad did a wonderful job with that.♥️ This was fun Michaela. Thank you both for sharing.
Oh how I loved this second half. Now a suggestion is to do this with a parents trivia. Let's hear about your parents; were they strict, did they spank, did they worry about their children, best memory, hardest memory. Your parents evidently raised wonderful families....what's their secret to a successful marriage and family. Thank you for sharing your siblings!! You both have wonderful siblings and parents!! God bless!!
Loved this 2 parter! The little tidbits, the trivia, how great! I'm one of 7 children who grew up in the 1960's, and we have so many memories we share at family get togethers. It just warms my heart to hear from you and Brandon and all the wonderful things you share with us. ❤❤❤
I think growing up with limited television (or maybe none?) really helped all the kids develop interesting talents and skills. They’re all so creative and personable. Love this channel and your content. 😊
It was so funny watching Callie on your show, when she was little. She did sound like a little adult 😊❤️. I remember your wedding and Callie just cried and hung on to you in the room before the wedding because you were leaving. It made me cry. Now you’ll have to do this with the In-Laws 😉
September 15 is my birthday too! I'll be 71. Judson always made me laugh when he was on tv. He's comical and I love his expressions! I love these sibling videos!
Well sadly, I got 2/19. 😂 But I sure had fun listening and learning about everyone! Addallee has ALWAYS reminded me so much of Michaela. You can just sense their sweet, gentle spirit. And I just love how positively and lovingly you all speak of each other. ❤
Thank you for sharing these memories. How marvelous is a family whose siblings love one another. Every family should be so blessed! Well done to Mr and Mrs Bates ❌⭕️
Michaela and Brandon, I just LOVE you two!! You are the sweetest pair!! I've been watching you and your family since the beginning and it's such a treat to continue see you all and hear about your lives!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Such generous descriptions of all of Michaela's siblings. The one sister I 'know' the least about is Josie. I followed her for a while in Instagram. She is beautiful, organized, and a very dedicated wife and mom❤
Always so nice and relaxing to listen to you two. Nothing performative about your vlogs. And you aren’t hawking merchandise for companies. Watching you is one of the happy times of the week for me.
I loved being able to see so many of these qualities in your siblings on the show. It's so great to have so many but to have so many wonderful, Godly siblings. Such a blessing. I love the Bates family.
Oh my goodness, out of 19 questions, I only had answers for 9 of them, and I only got ONE of those right! 😫 I correctly guessed #4 was Erin as the first to graduate college. My other guesses: #1 - I thought either Trace the wild man or Nathan the daredevil would have been first to break a bone. (Lawson makes sense though because he refuses to accept that he’s a bit clumsy so he just charges ahead like he’s invincible. 🤣) #3 - Alyssa?! I was 💯% POSITIVE the cold weather hater was Michaela! She mentioned it a number of times about life in Chicago. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #5 - I had no guess on who had the first pet, but I guessed it was a cat. Tough little Michaela with a sweet little lamb? Aww! #11 - So Isaiah was airlifted! What happened? That must have happened before BUB started airing, because I was a faithful viewer from the get go and I can’t imagine I would forget seeing that. My guess was Addie because I vividly recall Gil’s tearful retelling of tiny baby Addie’s traumatic early days of life when she suddenly needed to go to the hospital. That’s why I thought it made sense she would be airlifted to a children’s hospital from their rural location. I think that’s also when Gil came up with the spelling of Addie’s name, having two of every letter - ADDALLEE - to symbolize her second chance at life. 🥹❤️🩹 #12 - Zach was the first yodeler? HOW could it not be Carlin?!! I was sure I had that one right! #15 - I guessed Tori always woke up happy because she’s such a giggler. Judson is not that well known as a smiley or giggly guy these days, so I didn’t imagine him like that as a baby. #16 - I guessed Alyssa was the best archer because it seems like such an exacting sport, and she has a talent for being focused. I also think of her as having a very competitive nature, and I imagine her being a fierce opponent. I never would have guessed Ellie. I’d like to see her compete sometime! #18 - Lawson really seemed like he’d be the one to climb out a window as a naughty toddler. Warden seems so even-keeled, so that really surprises me!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful memories, it's so nice to hear how encouraging and close this family with Christ at the centre invest in each other's lives. The blessings overflow and I am so grateful we get to witness moments like this.
I enjoyed hearing you each describe your siblings. You are both from very special families. You're very blessed, be grateful 🙏 I wish you all a long, healthy, and happy life ❤
I just remember on the Bates show and y’all were on vacation at the beach and Jeb was so little and kind of pitched a fit and your dad took him up to the house for a talk. My husband and I still laugh about that. This was so neat. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for posting! I know you don't know me but I just love watching your family. Your all such a blessing to watch. God bless you all. And I'm praying for you too have a child. I believe you would be a wonderful mother. God bless you all.
YOu two are beautiful inside and out. This video made my day. I didn't get to the trivia Q/A but I'm not surprised about Josie having curly hair, Hazy looks just like her in my opinion.
You both are so adorable and I love your videos. Michael you are so sweet and giving you drop everything to help your family they are all so lucky to have you and Brandon. I enjoyed this vlog so much.
You two are the sweetest couple! So thoughtful to each other. Your love for each family member is outstanding! Especially being a brotherinlaw Brandon. Its so precious you two have the "opportunity+ time" to help each family member as needed through their lives. So needed in this world. Most families are very small + support is lacking because the world is such a busy world now. You both are a light in this world+ really needed. Blessings!
Loved this and your descriptions of each one. I remember so much from the tv show, and miss it so very much. Beautiful Bates children….every one of them! ❤❤
Oh what beautiful Memories to share about your siblings. I love your family and pray for them all the time. I really enjoyed all the information. Thanks
Thaks for the video. ❤ Addee is so much like you. I remember Jackson would take a backpack ever where he went and Zack would ask why it had it. Warren would cook with Erin at her house. ❤
I only got Alyssa and Ellie right. 😁 I remember after hearing the stories Katie's and Trace's I should have gotten right. There were a few I flip flopped two people too. That was a fun idea for a video!
This was so enjoyable. I think I smiled the whole way through parts 1 and 2. Y'all are blessed with wonderful families. I especially loved seeing your interaction together. It is obvious you two are in love. Very beautiful to see. Keep God first place, and all will be well. Thank you for sharing.
Shalom✌🏿🕊️. I really enjoyed this💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️. I remember the time when you and your sisters was at the bowling alley and how competitive you all are. I thought the guys was competitive but you ladies are very competitive great💯💯💯.❤❤❤
I enjoyed these videos about your siblings so much!! It was fun to get to hear more about each one! I miss the show but am glad so many siblings have you tube vlogs. Your family is so amazing and fun!
Great video! I only got 3 right. Only knew them from watching the show. Also wanted to say that I enjoy the drawing episodes. It’s cool to see Judson improving the more he draws.
I am truly enjoying your channel! Thank you for making thoughtful and encouraging content that I don’t have to worry about what I’m seeing. Being you’re talking about the past I was hoping you could answer a question. In an episode of your family’s show when Brandon comes to visit to get to know your family better, Micheal’s parents show you a workbook about relationships and getting closer as you were nearing marriage. Do you happen to remember the name of the book? I would love to get it for my “kids” as they are getting close to the stage. Thanks!
Y’all are such an inspiration. I’m so glad you guys are on here. I love getting to hear and see you and I love that that you are sharing this journey with us ❤
lol, one. i got none of the trivia right except josie with the curly hair! that was fun learning about all the things more 'unusual' we wouldn't have seen on tv about your families. thank you for sharing this. you should do one on all the nieces and nephews too
I have enjoyed watching the family grow through all the shows y’all you are an inspiring family. I really liked the vlogs of both families hope to see more
It must feel as if the youngest four of your siblings are like your own kids since the two of you have both watched them grow from toddlers to teens. I imagine it's a different bond with them than with your older siblings. Thanks for sharing the family stories and personality traits.
Aww, this was so fun! Don't ask me how I got Zach right at yodeling, lol. I want to say 3 or 4 right, what a blast learning more about the Bates Family! You're both just a Joy to watch! 🥰🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️
