Generation 1: Moving In

Okay, forget the nice story. ROFL.

So, Preston moved back into the neighborhood and we started his house.

I took all the money he received in college, bought statues and then sold them once he got settled in so we could have some nice stuff. Well, maybe not nice, but necessary. This is the livingroom.

Kitchen/Dining Room

And Bedroom. So who did Preston buy the nice big bed for?

Think about it, seriously. If some girl is coming around a single guy's house, cleaning in a French Maid's outfit, of course he's going to get ideas. So Arianna (the maid) and Preston start playing nice.

Before long, she had moved into the house and making herself at home. Look at Preston in that tux! Wonder where they're going? And is Arianna going in her maid outfit?

Of course not. She looks pretty good after her make over. I made sure to keep Preston happy too.

Arianna looks thrilled, maybe she doesn't like people ordering for her.

Yeah, I think Preston's making up for it. I had never tried proposing while they were sitting down so I took the opportunity to do so. This was the surprise proposal.

Yeah, she's surprised.

She looks a little disappointed at the size. Jeez, lady, he just got out of college!

Well, at least she's happy over the engagement.

Well, let's not rush into anything! Here's the wedding pics.

So on to the wedding night.

Strangely the wedding bells, sounded like a lullabye.

Okay, honeymoon's over. Preston got up the next day and immediately got a job in the medical field.

The new maid doesn't seem to like Arianna. Maybe she thinks that had she been a little faster about taking this job, she'd be the one hiring the new maid. Sorry honey, not with those features.

Arianna's expecting already. When I edited the pics (the first 89) I had a scrapbook theme in mind that I don't know if I'm going to continue because like the story, it takes forever.

And here's baby Allysa. Looks like she got her dad's genetics.

And here she is pregnant with her second child. I decided I wanted male heirs only. God help me, I'm going to have a ton of kids running around. I can just see it now.

Allysa grows to toddler. She didn't turn out too bad!

This picture was mainly taken just to show off her outfit. My daughter loves to download toddler and children's outfits so I have a ton.

Meet Whiskars and Jungle, the start of my Pet Legacy.

And here's the second child, Allyson. Guess we've got to try again for that boy.

Allyson grows to toddler. She also got dad's genetics, but she's not as cute.

I think Maxis did a great job with the pets and toddlers! This picture was too cute.

It's even better from the other angle!

Hopefully THIS one will be a boy!

And Allysa becomes a child.

FINALLY, we have a boy! Here's the Generation 2 heir, Bryant.

Allyson grows to child.

Don't laugh, those lips took a LONG time to get right. That was all freehand with the spraybrush tool.

OH YEAH! We're doing a challenge. I almost forgot. Okay, here we see the gardener. Why she locked herself into a single room without doors and windows, we may never know.

Yeah, that's what I would be dreaming of too, right about now.

And here's the first death of our challenge: It was the Gardener in the locked room, by starvation!

Miracle, Gen. 2 of the pet legacy, must have really liked the gardener.

Bryant grows to child and seems to be taking after his dad already.

Allysa grows to teen. Unfortunately, the make up I always liked before, REALLY shows up well with my new graphics card. This is actually the same eye makeup Arianna has on. I don't know why it shows up so much more on Allysa. But I loved the pic. She's actually reaching to plump her pillow but it looks like a personal message to me.

And here's our little kitten Miracle all grown up. She turned out really pretty, wait til you get to see her baby!

I really hope Bryant grows up looking better!

I adopted Miracle's future mate, who seems to have in-law problems. Look at the fur fly!

Sweets won the fight. Don't laugh at my money signs, you try doing those freehand with a paintbrush!

My first ghost!

And Preston becomes an elder.

What a way to spend your retirement. Okay, I have about 25 more pics that I've already editted but DH is pouting because I'm hogging the computer. You would think with me out of the house four days a week, he'd have plenty of time. Guess you'll just have to wait to see Bryant grow up.

In the next episode: The kitchen burns to the ground, Bryant grows up, an evil kite, Headmaster moves in, and a business opens.
