Whitney’s expecting! She and Zach have their first ultrasound to check on the baby. Gil and Kelly Jo have shared 19 kids and 28 years together, so the happy couple celebrates their wedding anniversary with a romantic dinner and talk of new things to come. Nathan calls a family meeting to share some exciting news!

All about Bradley: 17 months old

It's hard to believe that Bradley is now 17 months. We have about four months until Kaci is born.
He is starting to learn new things from his aunts and uncles.

Most asked questions!

We have been these questions for a while about the mystery girl that was also on the show with Ashley. Her name is Courtney and she is just a family friend that loves to come and help out with the family.

Kelly and Courtney

Now, many of our fans have been asking about the age difference between Carson and Brooklyn along with Bradley and Kaci. Bradley and Kaci will be about twenty-one months apart depending on when Kaci is born. Brooklyn and Carson will be about fifteen months apart.

Another question has been brought up if we are going to be doing All about Kaci and All about Brooklyn like we do with Bradley, Allie and Carson. We are kinda thinking about doing Facts about Kaci and Brooklyn or doing all about Brooklyn and Kaci.

What do you like better "All about Kaci, All about Brooklyn" or "Facts about Kaci, facts about Brooklyn"

Seven months of marriage!

All about Carson: 10 months old!

Chad and Erin announced just three weeks ago that Carson would get a little brother or little sister.
