Madison's Baptism

-


Today was one of  Madison's favorite days! She has been waiting for this day for years. :) In our church, baptisms are performed after children are 8 years old. This gives them time to be taught and learn what it means to be baptized, and then choose for themselves. She was so excited that her daddy could be the one to baptize her. 

 We couldn't believe how many people showed up to be there for her. It was amazing! Very spiritual and very fun to watch. She especially loved the slideshow we made of her. She hadn't seen most of the pictures before. Some were sweet and some were funny. It was great to take a walk down memory lane. 

 Just another great Rose family memory :)

An 8 year old can get migraines?!?!?!

FRIDAY: Here we are at 1:22am. Yes you see that correctly. It says AM! So backstory: Every afternoon since Tuesday, Madison has been having severe eye, head, and ear pain. We had been treating her with ibuprofen thinking she may be sick. On Friday we figured there is probably something bigger going on, so we decided to take her to the IWK children's hospital. I left work an hour early, 5:00pm, and we grabbed some fast food(because we all know this is going to be a long visit). After getting through Halifax's rush hour traffic, it was 6:15 when we arrived at the hospital.  The Triage nurse checked her vitals, then gave her some ibuprofen. It took about 45 minutes to get put in a room, which is record time for the children's ER. It was pretty busy that night too. The girls ate some of their dinner while we waited to be seen. I know it's not the healthiest option...Haha. The nurse came in after about 15 minutes, took her vitals and asked some questions. Madi...

Building our backyard :)

It's been a while........ When we bought our house last year, we were left with little(no) money and little time. The yard was definitely not on our to-do list yet. We built some veggie gardens, but nothing really fun for the girls or for us to relax(although we did build them a small sandbox). This year we had slightly bigger plans :) I mean, we still have no money...Haha, but we didn't want this summer to be boring. It's a bit blurry, not sure why? It wasn't blurry on my phone. This was our first project(after gardening of course.....I have an update on that as well). The girls have never really had a fun yard(since our trampoline in Nanaimo, but Madison was only 3 when we moved). They definitely needed their first swing set. I built it while Bill was at work. I was pretty proud of myself. I got most of the frame built with these little beauties right here before i got so annoyed by the pain they were causing my hands!!! Why on earth did I even bother wi...

Shame on you BC Ferries!

I would do anything possible to help my kids! And I mean ANYTHING! So when someone does something to make me worry about my kids, they are gonna hear about it from me. Last night was one of those nights! Seth took a trip to California/Utah/Idaho for a few weeks so he could be there for the July 4th celebrations. He has a lot of friends down there from school, so we are never very worried when he goes(except when we hear about the earthquakes in California). For some reason he would love to just move there...Haha. Whenever he goes back to BC though, he has to travel through Vancouver. I always worry about him when he is traveling in Vancouver alone. What makes it worse is when he is travelling at night. Last night was one of the worst trips yet. Just so you know how his day started, he was staying in Idaho, so it was a 3 hour drive to Utah for his flight. He left from Salt Lake City at 1:35 pm and since this was an international flight he had to be there extra early. 2 hours ear...
