[Piñacolada]

Yayy a girl!! Bet she grows up cute if she's got a lot of features like her big bro.
Matthew seemed like a really good dad in this update, it was nice
Hope he keeps getting promotions at work though, looks like you're gonna need an extension to the house pretty soon! Especially if it's twins!!

[Kae]

Aww... I missed two updates!
Oh, well, very busy week and is my dad's birthday today! On to comments...

Ethan is very cute, as a toddler, especially!
And poor Jezlyn's bumps look painful as always.
My sims always seem to do funny things with detaching their limbs. It's quite interesting when they get their faces stuck in one expression, too.
Aww, yay, baby girl! Ashley's a cutie, too! *pinches cheeks*
I like Miss 'Crazy' Fallon, she looks like a decent looking sim!
Can't wait to see the new baby(ies)!

[Kate]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY! I just have to say my gut got it right for once!! Wasn't expecting that!

I'm sure Ashley will grow up to be a real cutie and won't need that much make-up! If she's anything like her big bro she'll be fine! It's so cute that Ethan started studying skills when he's only just turned into a child!

Another baby/moar babies on the way!! Have to agree with Katie, Matthew needs to keep bringing home those promotions to expand their house, just as their family is!

Fallon scared me in this update

If you still need to catch up ( ), you should...

[Shell]

Coloada- Thanks..but i dont think cute is the right word for her *cough* (Though as a young adult she does look heaps better...you will see her eventually LOL)

Kae-No you didnt really miss to updates, you got lucky and got to read 2 at once LOL
Yeah Ethan was a cuttie when he was a child, wish he stayed that way LOL
Fallon was made by me actually, and she isnt all that crazy LOL I just had to say something about her the crazy things she was doing....and dont worry she will make more appearances LOL

Kate- Maybe you should trust your gut from now on LOL So take a guess at the next baby's gender...50/50 chance.
Ethan wanted to be like his dad at that age (cough) and since dad loved sticking his nose in a book so did Ethan LOL
*whispers* Fallon scares me to LOL

Thanks everyone for reading and commenting

Chapter five

Needing one of their toilets unblocked, Jezlyn puts in a phone call to the repairman to come do it for them, and she just about had a fit when she answered the door to his knocking.
It was bad afro man, for the ‘sugar cube bowling club’.


So the dude did have a day job
She hoped he could fix toilets better then he could dance!

Ethan doesn’t seem happy with his grades from school, even though it was his first day


Though he does seem happy to see his Dad home from work…aww


The next day Matthew took a sickie from work. He did this so they could pack their furniture into the tuck yet again, to move. They found another pre-made house to move into. With the new baby on the way they needed the extra room. The house was another 2 bedroom, but had heaps of space to convert other rooms into bedrooms, and it had a bigger yard then what they did now. So without another though, they cashed in their savings, sold their home and got a small loan from the bank and bought the bigger house.


While Jezlyn was watching the children downstairs, Matthew went to the hardware shop and picked up some boarding, plaster and paint and made two extra rooms. He converted the very large hall way upstairs. Though the rooms are small, it gives everyone a chance to have their own room. He is just hoping he can keep his hands off his wife for a little while so there wont be anymore rugrats. Or that room issue could become a big problem.
With the rooms finally finished, Matthew finally gets to sit down and finish his book, though finds himself having to start another, as he needs cleaning skills to get the next promotion


while Ethan decides to copy his dad, but studies cooking, in the hope he will turn out to be a knowledge sim, like his dad or get a grant for uni for maxing out the cooking skill.


For the first time ever in the new house, it was birthday time. Baby Ashley was ready to grow up.


Ashley as a toddler. Her parents are hoping she will grow up to be a beauty, for now though, at least they love her.


After putting Ashley to bed, Jezlyn rubs her belly and has a clucky moment and wishes all her babies would stay babies as they grow up way to fast.


Later that night, Jezlyn was woken from her sleep as the baby gave an almighty kick then…Bump two


After the bump, Jezlyn has that clucky feeling again and goes into Ethan’s room to make sure he is ok…and to get a kiss from him, since he is a boy and isn’t interested in kissing his mum


Not wanting her daughter to miss out on skills, Jezlyn has a spare moment in the morning and teaches Ashley to talk. Her first word was teddy. Jezlyn was very proud.


After mastering the art of talking, Jezlyn taught her how to use the potty. And was grateful Ashley was a fast learner.
As standing up while waiting for a toddler to finish their business while heavily pregnant wasn’t a fun thing


While putting Ashley down for her afternoon nap, Jezlyn heard the door bell ring. Looking out the window she spied Fallon and pretended she wasn’t home, all the while wondering if Fallon was a stalker


Ethan still isn’t happy with his grades


Late that night, when everyone was tucked up in their beds and cots and fast asleep, a very awake Jezlyn was in the lounge....in labor.


Waking up Matthew rushed down in hopes to see the birth of his 3rd child…he made it…just.
Moments later Jezlyn gave birth to another baby boy, Derek.


He to is a clone, with his mum’s skin and eyes and dad’s hair.
After Derek’s birth Jezlyn got the ‘want’ to have 10 children.


How will Ethan and Ashley react to Derek? Will they like him?
Will Matthew finally get that just out of reach promotion?
Will he even be able to get the extra cleaning point he needs for it?
Will Jezlyn get her wish for 10 children? Or will I balk at that?
How will Matthew react if I let her?
Will he be able to keep his promise and keeps his hands off his wife?
Why are there so many questions this time?

[Piñacolada]

Wo! 10 children?! Now that I would like to see! Hehe

Glad it's another boy, I was hoping for a little brother for Ethan
The new house looks lovely Shell, and is going to be much needed if there's gonna be room for 7 more babies!! ;D

[Kate]

Hehehe in that first pic of Ethan (second one of the update), he looks like he's pulling a wedgie from out of his butt... sorry for the blunt comment LOL, when I noticed it I just had to say something!!

Awww Ashley's cute, she has a sad sort of look about her though... She looks a lot like her mummy!

Oh dear!! Matthew better get his tools out again and continue working on expanding their house!!

[Shell]

The house wasnt made by me Colada..sadly i lack in that skill LOL it was a pre-made house from maxis. Just added a few extra rooms LOL

You know i never noticed that before Kate...but yes it does look like it LMAO
I think Ethan looks more like Jezlyn, Ashley looks more like Matthew...(well they do now LOL)

Ohh.. I think I can see that now!
You've done a really nice job on it though

[Shell]

Umm...LOL...i actually didn't change it at all, only added some extra rooms. Thats it, sadly enough. They didn't have the money for anything else LOL.

[Shell]

(long chapter..may be pic heavy for some)

Chapter Six
With a day off, Matthew was finally able to get the cleaning point he needed. Now he is hoping for another promotion!


After finishing his book, Matthew went down to the hardware store to see of he could find some more paint. So he could paint some rooms for Ethan and Ashley. While he was there he saw some flooring he loved and found it to be very cheap. So leaving behind the paint he got enough floor boards for the down stairs area of the house. It didn’t leave him with much money left, but he wasn’t too worried as he felt confident that he would be coming home with a promotion and a bonus.
With Matthew’s crazy impulse buys, a mortgage to pay and 3 children to look after Jezlyn needed a way to bring in some extra money to the house. So she tried her hand at painting in the hopes of bringing in some extra dollars.


Though her first attempt only got $10, she isn’t giving up as even Picasso had to start somewhere.


Though she isn’t sure when she is going to get the time to play Picasso as sharing time between Derek, Ethan and a very vocal Ashley, she just doesn’t have the time. (And she wants another 7 children!)


Ethan finally got the grade he wanted.


Matthew was right and got lucky. He came home with the promotion he predicted.


That night was double birthday night.
Ashley was up first.


and as a child. (her parents still love her)


Then it was Derek’s turn


As a toddler


True to his word, the moment Ashley grew up, Ethan was playing cops and robbers with her. He did say he could wait for her to grow up to play.


Not knowing where she got the time between 3 kids, a house to clean and a husband clambering for more promotions, Jezlyn somehow found the time to paint. And eventually she gets the hang of it. Her first real painting was of her youngest son sleeping. The painting was worth $70, but Jezlyn just couldn’t bare selling it, so it now hangs in her bedroom. And she has since decided to one of the other 2 as well, since the fist one turned out so well.


Matthew came home with yet another promotion! Woot, his LTW is coming along nicely
While Matthew was happy about his promo, Ashley wasn’t so happy about her grades.


Though Jezlyn thinks she should chill out a bit since it was only her first day at school, and did pretty well considering.

While at work Matthew gets given two cards and told to pick one. One is bad the other good. Sweating profusely Matthew eyes off the cards and stares at them willing them to tell him which is which. Of course they don’t, so wiping beads of sweat that threaten to fall into his eyes he reaches for a card, but at the last minute changes his mind and flips the other…he picked…..
……
……
……

the right card and came home with a check for $7, 500! Woot Matthew!
Not only did he pick the right card, but he came home with 2 more things. One was yet another promotion, yay! The other was the flu, arr!


After feeding her family, Jezlyn found herself in need of the bathroom. Seeing that everyone was ok she snuck off, but was rudely interrupted moments later. Calling out to the person on the other side of the door that she wouldn’t be long…but they didn’t listen and came in anyway. The person was non other then a pest from a secret club. Jezlyn was far from impressed and had she not been stuck on the toilet she would have shoved their card where it wouldn’t fit.


That night, Ethan was due to grow up from a child to a teen. Matthew didn’t want to miss out, so with a massive box of tissues he came down to watch Ethan blow out the candles.


Ethan as a teen


After the party got cleaned up and everyone headed to bed, Jezlyn had another moment. She just couldn’t believe her first born was now a teen…it only felt like yesterday that he was a baby. With a sigh she headed to bed.


Will Matthew ever be healthy again?Will he get another life sweating chance card?
Will Jezlyn be ok with her children growing up? And will she finally be able to do a Picasso painting?

[Piñacolada]

Aw they grow up so fast!! I hope Jezlyn has more babies though Hehe
The painting she did of little Derek is so cute!
I loved this update Shell, you had me laughing lots when Matthew was trying to pick the right chance card.. and when the secret club guy called round!!

[Kae]

Glad their parents love them, because if I had them in a legacy, well, let's just be glad you're nicer than me...
Hopefully the other 7(!) will be slightly more attractive.
(Psshh, yeah right!)

[Shell]

Besides i couldn't give that comment to my fav, that would be mean LOL (No i am not going to tell you who my fav was, not till after the voting LOL)

[Piñacolada]

You have a favourite?! I wonder who it is....

[Kae]

When you're playing a legacy, it's hard not to have favorites, I've found...

[Shell]
