August 31, 2019July 28, 2019 by samanthaohalloran, posted in Gen 10, Sims 3, Sunset Valley, The Cruz's

Our daughter had kept my wife up most of the night so I decided to cook breakfast.

Time passed and before we knew our baby daughter was a toddler and an adorable one at that. She is a fun one too being a bit Eccentric and A snob.

Ximena was a quick learner and soon leant to use the potty unaided and to chatter away.

It was soon Winter and their was snow all around. I decided to make a snowman.

I also had to repair the bathroom sink as it broke down again

I also upgraded the toilet

I missed my daughters first steps as I was working but luckily Lisa recorded it and took lots of pictures.

The plumbing in this house is lots of fun, the shower chose to break down next.

Then the computer broke down too

I love that Mum and Lisa get on so well

Ximena is a lovely toddler who is able to entertain herself and doesn’t need much attention.

Mum is quite the nerd

Ximena can be quite funny too and I don’t understand how she gets in half the positions she does

My wife loves her job so much sometimes she forgets to put her uniform on.

She’s great at it too and was soon promoted.

I upgraded the washing machine so there was one less object to break around here

My wife’s older brother is going to be a dad so Ximena should have some more cousins soon.

I mastered the handiness skill

I relaxed in the hot tub with Lisa

I upgraded the tv so it wouldn’t break

I also had to fix the bath.

Lisa got another promotion.

Chapter 7.3- Trips to China

The twins have grown up so much and despite being only 5 months old, I think they have their own personalities. Violeta is very affectionate and loves to be swung around, bounced and cuddled.

Fernado is quite active during the day always trying to crawl and so is quite easy to put down to sleep.

The twins do triple my laundry though, they either spit up, throw up or food gets on their clothes.

I also had to clean the bath as it had gotten quite dirty.

The twins were soon toddlers. Fernado takes over me quite a lot he just had his dads looks but Violeta is his daddies image.

I started teaching Fernado to use the potty

Violeta also likes to make music by playing the xylophone.

Fernado also started taking his first steps

I had to head to China to drop a package to an Associate of my boss so I left my kids with Savannah and their cousins and headed over there.

The children are able to entertain their selves

I started working on the twins skills

I also love to go jogging even in the snow

Chapter 5.13- Promotion Train

Luis likes to chatter about how everything is boring and how jokes are stupid.

Matias managed to break his laptop and I had to fix it. I did earn some handiness though.

Reyna has found her dad’s old hobby and likes to throw the discs around

She has become quite close with a new neighbour of ours, this is Leo French. They have been dating quite a while now and he asked her to be his girlfriend and she agreed, isn’t young love cute.

I am doing well at work, I got offered a position running the school whilst the principal was on maternity leave then when she returned they told me the district superintendent had retired and offered me the job, the education board was very impressed with my work. I agreed.

Sometimes presiding over all the schools in the area can be hard work, I am so lucky I have a loving husband who gives me back rubs

I had some sad news too, my mum died of old age.

We took a trip to the winter festival where we enjoyed having a seasonal picture done and doing some winter sports.

I am already 40, where has the time gone.

I wanted to move so we bought a empty lot and bluith this lovely house to live in with plenty of room to expand.

I also wanted a makeover so headed to the local salon and got a new hairdo.

I did some exercise in our home gym and improved my athletic skill

Chapter 5.3- A New Career

August 4, 2018 by samanthaohalloran, posted in Gen 5, Sims 3, The Cruz's

Upon returning to town, I was offered a job at the local school helping the teachers.

I was offered a chance to do a physical development degree in just six months at the local university funded by the school. I accepted and returned to the university.

Mugsy had completed his degree and had started another one, he was the first to greet me when I returned

Its winter now but I still love to watch the stars with Mugsy at night

We also decided to have some fun in his bed

I enjoy learning about all the body parts and their functions, I just wish we had an indoor classroom, it can get quite cold in the snow

Snow can be fun, I do like to make snowmen and women and angels and also have snow fights.

I love using the lawn slide, I just do it in my outerwear

Soon my six months were up, I graduated with an A and headed back home.

I decided to relax with my dad and grandpa by reading a book

Its summer here and I love playing on the slide

I also caught up with grandad and we had a great chat about Technogly.

Mugsy came to visit, sadly I was at work but at least dad and grandpa finally got to meet him.

I hadn’t had any gigs for a while so I lined up some auditions and actually managed to get some.

Isabella and Caroline are becoming quite close and love to play table tennis together although Issy normally wins.

Isabella also loves the slip n slide and uses it no matter what the weather even in the snow

Matias took a creative writing class

My niece Kari is already 2

Isabella also likes to shoot hoops

I decided I needed a new look and got this awesome new t-shirt
