Maid of Honor

Betty and Bob's wedding day has arrived and of course Ivory was a bridesmaid and Paige was the maid of honor. The ceremony was intimate and beautiful. Even little Crystalynn was the flower girl! Paige is so happy for her best friend, she can't help but think she might want the big white wedding for herself one day, (if she ever decides to date again).

The Quiet One

The quietest person in the house has to be Indie. He stays in his room working out almost all the time, or he's outside practicing his soccer. He's almost mastered the athletic skill already! Guess his hard work is paying off.

Summer Time!

To kick off the beginning of summer and also celebrate Crystalynn's Birthday, the family threw a pool party. The weather was perfect to break in the new home's pool and grill.

No More Kids in the House!

It's official, Rosemary has no more little kids in the house anymore. The Twins have aged up into teens! Rosemary decided to throw them a little birthday party at the spring festival and invited their friends to come and hang out. It was crazy seeing her kids grow up so fast, the twins are teens and her oldest is about to have a baby of her own. Where has the time gone?

A Coast Family Holiday

After calming her down and helping her fix her makeup, Travis finally got Paige downstairs to take the yearly holiday photos with the family. They even took a picture of the two of them. Travis held Paige a little tighter this time, knowing things will never be the same after today.

Meet the Coast Family

Rosemary met her late husband, Derek, in high school. They fell in love in 10th grade, and were inseparable. But everything changed when Rosemary found out she was pregnant in their senior year. They were both shocked and terrified, but determined to do this together and raise their child.

Straight out of high school, they were married, and Derek got a job as a firefighter. Rosemary then became a stay at home Mother to their new daughter, Paige. Derek adored her, playing with her everyday when he got home, even though he was exhausted from work; He always made time for he beautiful wife as well.

As time went on, the money became more stable and they even got a small house together. Paige was in school now, so they decided that it was time to try for baby #2 at last. The only problem was, Rosemary kept having miscarriages. They were both devastated, especially Rosemary. She loved kids and had always dreamt of a large family. Derek had suggested they try to foster a couple kids to help heal her depression.

After going through the process, Rosemary and Derek greeted their first foster children, a set of twins named Indie and Ivory. They both fell in love with the twins instantly, they knew if the moment ever came for them to be adopted, they wouldn't be able to let them go. So they adopted them!

Two new additions to household made things a bit hectic, but also multiplied the love this family shared. Paige didn't even flinch when she became a big sister. She loved them like they were her own blood.

However, tragedy struck this family once again. On one dark night, Derek was called into the station to help out, since they were shorthanded. They were sent to a fire that had engulfed an apartment building Downtown. Derek went inside to see if anyone was still inside the building, but he never made it back out.

Rosemary's live was shattered. Her husband, high school sweetheart and father to her children was gone. Paige, being so close to her father, retreated into herself, trying to remain strong for her Mother and siblings.

As much as time stopped for them, life still had to go on. They are still grieving, but learning to go on with their lives.
