The Graul Family Part Three

Kiana did not want to wait for life to begin and just get by every day until she found love so she spent some of her families hard earned money on a wishing well and wished for love. Out of the sky fell Jack, one of the local college students.


It was love at first kiss!


She proposed right away and the family set up a fancy wedding party for the happy couple.


All their family and friends gathered around to watch the beautiful ceremony.


They cheered them on


and toasted the bride.


And had a nice wedding feast.


The evening was rounded off with the traditional cutting of the wedding cake.


Followed by the honeymoon limo whisking them away!


Kiana's hubby, Jack, took her last name. He is a family Sim who wants nothing more than loads of grandchildren so he was happy to drop out of college to be with Kiana. He brought some money with him when he moved in.


They did some renovations with his funds in preparations for their hopefully soon to be expanding family.


After the wedding Shayla did a little gardening in her formal dress...the only true way to garden well.


The wedding night was rather productive.


Wanting to support his wife and any children they might have together Jack got a job right away.


But was fired his first day on the job. Politics was definitely not for him.


He sat down with Vladimir for a nice game of chess. For amusement, Vlad told Jack about how their dearly departed Sebastian used to wear his wife's shoes in secret at night ever since she passed.


Jack was very happy when he found out for certain that their wedding night activities were so fruitful.


He started looking for another job again right away and found a position working for a local newspaper.


Vlad took some time out to train Duke, not wanting him to feel neglected.


Jack kept concentrating on his chess game, hoping it would help him out later in his career so he could support his family better.


Shayla told them one day at dinner how she wanted to decorate the nursery with an airplane theme and was disappointed when they told her that the baby would be sleeping in Kiana and Jacks room.



Before they knew it, the day of the little bundle's arrival was upon them.


The new parents gazed lovingly at their tiny little son, Dylan. Jack was thrilled that his little one shared his brown hair.


Shayla was the first one after the parents to hold little Dylan. She considered it a special privilege.


The next morning Kiana warned Shayla off from telling Dylan any scary bedtime stories. The last thing he wanted was for little Dylan to be terrified to sleep with tales of ghosts every night.


Grandpa Vlad was always glad when it was his turn to feed Dylan. He loved every moment he was able to spend with his grandson.


But Vlad still tried to take time to focus on Shayla. He didn't want her to feel left out with all the attention Kiana and Dylan were getting.


The years passed by quickly and Dylan hit his toddler years.


Vlad apparently didn't want him to grow up, "This stinks!" he shouted during the birthday party.


The first thing he did was start the little tyke on potty training. The sooner they got all the nappy changing business behind them the better.


Then he started teaching him to walk.


And to talk.


But one night he was heading outside to pay the bills and he caught Shayla trying to sneak in! She had ran off with some boy for the night doing who knows what. He gave her a very stern lecture on the proper behavior of a nice young lady and said she was grounded.

The Jacobs Family Part Three

Rachel got a job in the business career track and started studying up on her charisma right away.


Lois was working in the culinary career track as a fast food server.


While the girls were both busy at work, Maud had an interior designer come and make over their living room. She really wanted to impress Rick with it, since she knows how obsessive he is about making his own place look nice he might like it if she did the same with their home.


They started work on the kitchen as well, but have to finish the work another day due to time and budget constraints.


Still, Maud invited Rick over that night to show off the new living room. He was so impressed that he gave her a big romantic kiss.


The next day the kitchen was finished, with the exception of a few chairs that were on back order.


Asya settled in comfortably in the new rooms. She loved being able to mostly blend in with the floor.


Lois had an extremely bad day at work and was fired...again.


She and Rachael spent most of their free time chatting on the phone with friends in typically teen fashion.



Though Maud still did her own share of phone chatting. She liked to keep tabs with the precinct even when off duty.



Lois decided that she'd better head off to college. She wasn't getting anywhere with teen jobs so she thought she'd better get some more education to help her on her future career path, whatever that may be.


She called the moment she got there to tell Rachael all about the dorms and campus.

The Todd Family Part Three

The Todd family was making quite a splash around town until they had an in the ground pool installed. They decided they'd much rather make a splash at their own place instead.


Zoey and Paolo often carpooled to school together. It was much better than riding the bus.


They didn't always remember to clean Piper's bowl but at least they kept it filled with food.


Rick wasn't sure which was worse - the fact that Piper was trying to tangle herself in his hair or the fact that he just lost a game of chess against himself.


Zoey decided to try inhaling her food rather than swallowing it. Rick suggested that she get some rest before attempting to eat again.


Zoey and Yvette Lind have some girl talk with poor Paolo stuck in the middle pretending to be interested.


He decided he'd best look for a job - anything to get away from the constant chatter of his sister and her friend. Besides, maybe he'd meet some new friends at his new job.


Piper had a fun and carefree life. Her favorite thing to do was to practice her hunting skills on the toy bird.


One of the things Yvette told her (Zoey) is that boys liked really trim girls so she decided that she'd heed that advice and get a bit buff in hopes that boys at school would notice her.


She just loved slipping into bed wearing her favorite heart pajamas.


Rick spent much of his time studying up for work. He was obsessed with making as much money as he could so he could deck the house out really extravagantly.


Zoey and Paolo just liked having fun, but getting fit in the process was always a good thing.


Rick challenged himself to a rematch, determined to beat himself this time!


Dejected over losing to himself yet again, Rick stuffed his face with food as Paolo chatted with a friend on the phone. Piper watched them both carefully from her vantage point on the tower, though she appeared to be looking out the window.


Eventually they added a privacy wall and a sauna to the outdoor area.


Zoey was so exhausted from spending so much time exercising that she couldn't even make it to her bedroom.


Paolo started up his old hobby of painting. He found it really relaxing.


Rick thought that it was about time that he cleaned up his act so he washed the dishes.
