Gil Bates: "My wife, this is her thing: Sweet. I mean...make it really sweet."
Kelly Bates: "Nobody does sweet like Tennessee."
This video might just tell you something about Kelly Jo that you didn't know. She likes her drinks sweet. And when she says sweet, she means it. Wholeheartedly. While in Key West, Florida, for Katie and Travis' engagement trip, the future bride and groom and their parents visit Cuban Coffee Queen. Kelly wants to make sure that the barista knows just how sweet she wants her drink.

Lawson's New Love and the Boutique's New Digs
Now that Erin’s health is on the upswing, the Paine’s are tackling a new project: renovating an old camper. Will they decide to resell it or keep it in the family? At the Bates house, Gil, Kelly Jo, and some of the kids have a family meeting to discuss ideas for their upcoming I Love You Day party, but will they all agree on a theme? It’s moving day for the Bates Sisters Boutique! Whitney, Erin, and Carlin rely on their family to help them move out of their old workspace and into their new downtown Rocky Top location. Later, as Jackson and Trace are hanging out with Lawson and his dog Duke, Lawson updates his brothers on his new relationship and mentions his girlfriend will be attending the I Love You day festivities. Does this mean another Bates boy is leaving the bachelor squad?5!

Kelly Bates: "This is coming from the man who was out doing trees every day!"
This week on a new episode of Bringing Up Bates, Alyssa and John Webster are preparing for Maci Jo Webster, who will soon arrive and make them a family of six. They admit that even after having three children, they are still struggling to prepare all all the baby items (video below).
Kelly Bates: "I feel great. I'm sleeping, I have so much energy. I am like a brand new person."
Gil Bates: "It is a miracle transformation."
Did you catch last night's new episode of Bringing Up Bates? You watched a training session with Lawson and his dog, you saw Kade's second birthday celebration, and you heard Nathan tell his parents about his new girlfriend. You also watched a nervous Kelly be loved on by her family ahead of her big surgery. In a scene not shown in the episode (video below), Gil takes Kelly for her first appointment post-surgery. The prognosis is looking good!
"This girl knows slow. She is not for fast."

What did you think of last night's new episode of Bringing Up Bates? How about a fun web exclusive video that wasn't included in the show?
While they are at Anakeesta in Gatlinburg, the Bates also ride the Rail Runner. Most of you probably know that Kelly is scared of heights and speed, so this isn't her activity of choice, but she ventures on it with her kids (video below). Would you ride the Rail Runner?
Happy 1st birthday to Kolter Smith!
When older brother Kade was celebrating his first birthday, Tori was almost five months away from delivering Kolter. Tori is due with baby Charlotte Smith in June, so the age gap will be even smaller between these two. In the next five days, two more Bates grandchildren will celebrate birthdays.

Wishing a happy belated birthday to Kelly Jo Bates! The Bates mama turned 54 yesterday, but we don't think she looks it. All those children and grandchildren keep her young.
Kelly: "Still got the muscles, too."
Gil: "Oh you tell 'em, honey."
The Bates sons are headed to camp! Boot camp, that is. Gil keeps his boys fit with some good old fashioned calisthenics (video below). Some of them are more into it than others.
