Birthdays & Deaths

**This entry was cached on my pc...yeah!!!**

Generation 2 has really started to take off. Here is Zax, one of the family's dogs. He was raised from a puppy with these markings, isn't he pretty?

Where have you been? You haven't been here with us...word on the street is you were busy with someone else. Why would you do that to us?

First of all, my new baby came in. Haven't you noticed how nice and smooth everything is? It is a really nice machine. We had to transfer everything over from one to the other. Yes, I was playing in Pleasantville to test out the new machine and see how it works....

While you were off, we have had a few birthdays. Betsy grew from a toddler into a child. She doesn't remember her mother at all. I suppose that is a good thing.

Billy also had his birthday. As you can see here, Trina was a little shocked when he ended up with those lovely large lips from his mom...

MAXIS lips is what I call those things.

Bailey also had a birthday. Oh, you see our great writer here didn't tell you Trina was also pregnant, did she? Well, she was and this is our daughter.

That isn't my fault...our last update was on your brother's death and then his wife's death.

Sadly, my mother died. She had lived a long life with 6 children and 9 grandchildren. She will be greatly missed by all. Why didn't my dad pass away also? Weren't they the same age?

They would have, but you dad has an addiction. He has been hitting that bottle for many years now and doesn't want to give it up.

Arning came out to visit us when mom passed. He isn't too happy about everything that has happened so far. He really isn't happy about Elle's death.

He needs to think of the scholarship money! They are orphans!

Elle was also out that night. It is sort of strange to see her like that...she still looks like she did when the lightning bolt got her.

We decided to add one more to our house and now Brant has joined our family. Here is his cousin and sister welcoming him to our household.

Here I am helping Billy's mood improve before school one morning. His social was really low after weeding the garden overnight. He really is a quiet child, his sister has been making friends with other kids, but not Billy. He has no real friends to speak of outside of the family. Strange...

Why does Jess rake our leaves like a maniac? He could just go home and get some sleep, but he keeps raking the leaves even when he is going to pass out...

I think it has something to do with his kids coming over here. He is worried that your dad may put two and two together and take Amanda out of the will. *snicker* I kept rooting for him to pass out...

Time sure has flown with Brant around here. We have even gotten us another dog, Zilla. Does this mean we may get some puppies soon?

Those dogs HATE each other, so that is very doubtful...

The twins have become teens! Betsy is all about the knowledge and Billy is all about the money. Billy really looks more and more like his mother, while Betsy looks like our side of the family.
