Without knowing their true background you go by physical traits, then when they give young you look at the young for clues. Since the males the mmom gave are gray showing signs of pied and not cfw I would say the mom is pied. If she was cfw and dad cfw you would get all cfw. mom is pied, dad cfw and the females
cfw/pied and males pied/cfw.

Looks to me like you were right. Dad is CFW, mom is pied aka saddleback.
The dad is also split to pied, otherwise you wouldn't be getting pied offspring.

And cute cfw girls and normal pied boy :)
The girls are probably split to pied as well.
