Playing Major Catch Up: October 2014 part 1

October brought our traditional "balloon with letters to heaven" tradition that we started the fall after my miscarriage. Around the time the baby would have been due, we get a white balloon, write letters, and send it off to heaven. Kingston was able to be a part of it this time, and we we're so grateful.

The girls were super excited to write their notes and to send it off in the sky. We planned on letting it go, on our way to the swimming pool that night.

I am so glad that started this tradition and that all of our kids will be aware of the sibling they have waiting to meet them again in heaven.

And off it goes.

Swimming wore Kingston out, and he passed out before we could get him to bed.

Brooklyn was able to walk in the town's parade with her dance class.

She was so stinking excited to be able to walk and to wave to everyone.

Grandma and Papa Baxter drove over to watch Brooklyn, and Bostyn had fun watching the parade with them.

Kingston loved getting all of Grandma's attention.

These pictures are so cute to me!Bostyn sure loves her Papa!

We were lucky enough to snag some free ice cream bars that they were handing out too.

Kingston was definitely a fan!

Bostyn was pretty excited about her popsicle and distracted by the parade.

Kingston could not get enough of the ice cream. Grandma was spoiling him!

Brooklyn missed the treats, so Bostyn shared with her.

These two are the best of friends!

I seriously cannot believe how grown up this girl is looking.

We spent conference weekend in Baker with Greg's family and of course had our traditional conference baskets! We all look forward to these baskets every conference!
