The girls' gathering came shortly after momChristine announced her engagementtoDavid Woolleyexclusively to PEOPLE. In an Instagram post, Christine shared, “We’re engaged! David popped the question VERY romantically, and I said YES! I’m so excited and just live in bliss every day!”

In addition to Ysabel and Truely, Christine also sharesPaedon, 24,Mykelti, 26, andAspyn, 27, with exKody Brown.

“It was like a vicious cycle all the time. Because for years, I’d say you know, your dad loves you. He loves you, he wanted to spend time with you,” Christine recalled. “I would tell my kids that all the time — that he’s going to come over, we’re going to have a great time, blah, blah, blah. And after a while, they just stopped believing me.”

As Kody wasn’t available to the kids, Christine said she felt that he “was just missing out on some seriously wicked, awesome kids, and missing out on knowing them.”

“Because they’re phenomenal people. They’re amazing and delightful. And he just doesn’t know them,” she explained. “It’s sad for him too. So it’s frustrating all around.”
