Tour the Stewarts' Mansion

Carlin and Evan Stewart purchased their dream home about a month ago. Fans have been asking for a full house tour, so they put one together and uploaded it to YouTube. It is a beautiful place with lots of rooms and features, including a study, a game room, a butler's pantry, a balcony, a huge outdoor pool, an outdoor kitchen, a pool house, and a separate little house that they plan to build out. What do you think?

The Stewarts' Dream Home

Carlin and Evan Stewart found their dream home and are officially moving. Two weeks after Navy Stewart's birth, the Stewarts' realtor, Zach Bates, forwarded a listing for a house. They toured it the following morning and made an offer that was accepted later that night. Carlin and Evan share all the details in their latest YouTube video. 

Zach and Whitney’s Gender Reveal

We shared last week that Zach and Whitney’s sixth baby is a girl. They uploaded a video of their cupcake roulette gender reveal to YouTube, if you would like to see the moment when they found out the news. Zach and Whitney elected to do an at-home reveal with their kids, rather than a big party. Carlin and Evan Stewart stood behind the camera and set off the confetti cannons. 

Carlin's Health Update

Navy Kate Stewart is six weeks old. When Carlin was about six weeks postpartum with Zade was the point at which she had her first seizure episode. Praise God that her issues seem to have cleared up and have not resurfaced. In their most recent video, Carlin and Evan Stewart share a health update and discuss what Carlin's doctors told her back when she asked about having a third baby. They also talk about the future size of their family and whether they want more children. Carlin says she needs at least one or two more, while Evan says he is on board with more than three but that he doesn't think he "wants to be a 15-passenger van type of guy."

Navy Kate Stewart

Carlin and Evan Stewart have landed on a name for their little girl, born September 7th, 2025. They will call her Navy Kate Stewart. Navy joins big sister Layla Stewart, who is five-and-a-half, and Zade Stewart, who turned three in March. Coming in at 7 pounds, she is the Stewarts' biggest baby. Layla weighed 5 lbs 13 oz, and Zade weighed 6 lbs 12 oz. Carlin hasn't used her middle name, Brianne, for either of her daughters. Congratulations to the Stewart and Bates families!

The Stewarts Share Their News

Last week, we shared Carlin and Evan Stewart's big news. They are expecting their third child in September! The parents of Layla and Zade Stewart were bubbling over with joy and could hardly wait to tell their kids and their extended family. In their latest YouTube video, you'll see footage from some of the reveals.

Bates Ski Trip 2025

A couple weeks ago, the Bates family took their annual ski vacation out west. Not everyone attends every year, but it still ends up being a good sized group. If you have watched Bringing Up Bates, the Bates' reality TV show that aired from 2015-2021, you know that this trip has been a tradition for quite a few years. The Clarks and Stewarts both uploaded YouTube videos of footage from this year's trip (links below), which took place in Utah. At the ends of Katie and Travis' video, you'll also hear Gil and Kelly Bates share some marriage tips.

Bates 'I Love You Day' 2024

If you are a long-time fan of the Bates family, you've likely heard about their annual gathering for Valentine's Day, which they call 'I Love You Day.' Every year, Kelly Bates plans a big costume party for the entire family and a separate dinner for all the couples. For the past several years, they have chosen a theme and have awarded prizes for the best costumes. 

This year, the theme was Little House on the Prairie. The festivities took place this weekend, and Carlin and Evan Stewart have already shared footage of both the costume party and couples dinner on YouTube.
