Seven studly sons!

Meet the Bates boys — all seven of them! 

Ranging in age from 6 to 3, including a set of twins and a set of triplets, they have enough to spell out GO FROGS, which they did on t-shirts that they wore at the SMU game this weekend. Left to right, they are Tyler, 6, Blake, 4, Luke, 3, Grant 4, Caleb 5, Carter 4, and Matthew, 5.

The boys come from two Horned Frog families: brothers Tim Bates '03 (MBA '08), married to Emily, and Tom Bates '01 and his wife Jennifer '02. 

Tim and Emily have three of the boys Matthew and Caleb, who are twins, and Luke. Tom and Jennifer have four: Grant, Blake and Carter, who are triplets, and Tyler.
