Recap: Pink or Blue, what do you think?

Erin revealed that when she learned that her sister was expecting, she wanted to plan the gender reveal party because she loves parties. The expected couple arrives to the event and everyone was there at a local park. The gender will be revealing soon, and the family keeps trying to get the news from Bobby and Tori.

Unlike with the grandbabies, Gil and Kelly chose to wait until their babies were born to find out if it was a boy or girl. After the family eats their lunch, they divided into two groups by their guesses. Bobby and Tori fill a balloon with blue power. Tori pitches the balloon to her husband and Bobby hits it with a bat. Both Bobby and Tori admitted that they wanted to have a son. They are planning to name him Robert Ellis Smith IV but will call him Kade. Bobby reveals that it means fourth generation in Latin.

Zach and Whitney are talking about their plans for their upcoming vow renewal with the kids during breakfast. Both Bradly and Kaci like Honey Nut Cheerios. Zach reveals that his family always ate off-brand everything but Honey Nut Cheerios.

Kelton sits down with his father, brothers, and sisters to talk about his proposal plans for Josie. He feels that it’s a huge relief that things are coming together and getting them locked down. He is so excited that he gets to propose to her in Utah. Josie shares that they have an idea of when they will get married and she doesn’t have a ring which needs to change and hopefully they are in the making.

On the big day, Kelton heads to pick up Pink roses and head over to Josie’s work. Kelton reveals that he was nervous heading up to her work. Josie sees him and asked why he is there. He reveals that he has some good and bad news to share. He reveals that the bad news is that her next client is not going to show up since it’s a fake appointment, but the good news is that they are going on a trip and it’s a place that she has always wanted to go and they are leaving right now.

Josie reveals that she is not one for surprises but has come to enjoy Kelton’s surprises. Gil and Kelly show their daughter a cake with graham crackers and cactus to see if she can guess where they are going, and she does.

On the start of their trip, Kelton gives her a charm bracelet and an airplane charm. On the way there, he adds more charms to it:

·         A heart that says best friends

·         A symbolize the start of their relationship

·         A cup of coffee

·         A bridge

·         An infinity symbols
