Birthdays and Breakfasts

Wow... Lilith... Daayyyyuuuummmmm. What's this all about?

"Luna says I need to find a man and move out."

Well how's that going?

                                                                               "..."

"Hey! Hey! Look at me! It's my Birthday!"

                                      

"Omigod... it's my birthday! I don't want to get old!"

Chill Amit... You're not old yet.

"Oh hai! Goo Goooo!!! It's my birthday too daddy!"

Hmmm... I wonder what i'll look like. I wonder what trait i'll roll.

OMIGOD THE HORROR!

Luckily that akward lanky stage only lasts for a second in simworld.. but there still is horror. She rolled Easily Impressed. Wow... I don't like rolling traits. So far our poor Ariel is an Easily Impressed Brave Loner. These traits don't seem exciting or fun. Maybe her next two will be better. Luckily she's not the heir. But at least she's pretty.

I gave her a makeover.

Someone read in the paper that Mathew and Wu Rojo finally had their baby. A bouncing baby boy named Clayton Rojo. So I sent Luna to visit.

                                      

And then Anthony aged to toddler. Birthdays have been pretty uneventful in this house. I think the next generation will only have 2 kids so that they can have time for parties.

                                      

Laurel is telling Luna and Amit how she wishes she would've gone on a vacation while she was living. Amit doesn't think they have the cash for a vacation right now.

                                      

Nothing like eating dinner with your dead in-laws.

                                      

Birthdays and Breakfast... that's all that goes on these days. Boring.

                                      

That morning somebody across the street had a birthday too. Somebody by the name of Micheal Jr. Rojo. He has his dad's hair. That's all I can tell about him so far.

So nice to see the kids playing together. I just figured out that kids can use blocks for a head start on the handiness skill. That could be useful. I don't think it does anything for toddlers though, except let them have conversations with each other (If they've learned how to talk). Ariel was telling Amit Jr. and Anthony about her birthday, and how funny it was. Then she left to do her homework.

                                       

"OmiGooGooo Anthony I think its MY birthday!"

                                       

Anthony looks very surprised. I guess he didn't believe Amit Jr.

 

"Wow! Now I see why Ariel thinks birthdays are funny."

Amit Jr. rolled Genius. Which is a good trait and all... but with Grumpy and Artistic, I'm not sure i'm going to have much fun playing him. I've already had Laurel, Marty Jr., Leesha, Lilith, and Amit with artistic... and it gets kind of boring with them painting all the time. The good news is that he is also a cutie. Looks a lot like his dad in the face.

And then across the street, Clayton Rojo aged up to toddler. He got his grandpa Marty's purple eyes and his grandma Laurel's hair. From what I can tell he's going to be the spitting image of his dad, Mathew, and his older sister, Sherry.

                                      

What a surprise... talking about finances over breakfast.. again...

                                      

I haven't updated in awhile because although a lot of aging up has happened, not much else has. I've been trying to have Lilith go out and find a man so I can move her out, but she's had absolutely no luck. She's going to be an adult in 2 days, and i'd really like her to be married by then. Sigh. Luna has been busy with reports, she's only 2 levels away from reaching her lifetime wish. I might retire her after that so I can work on her relationships with her family. She has no relationship with her kids or her brothers or sisters, or any of her other extended family. Work Work Work. Amit is a stay at home dad, but he's been busy with taking care of toddlers until recently. His lifetime wish is to master painting and guitar, so I'm going to try to have him work on that during the day while everyone else is at school and work. Lilith has that same lifetime wish, and she's almost to level 10 in painting, and she's on level 8 in guitar. Ariel rolled a lifetime wish to become a Crossbreeder, but I don't think her traits are suited for a career in science so I didn't take it. Amit Jr. rolled a wish to become Master of the Arts, but I didn't take it because i've already done that with Lilith and Amit. It's one of those times in the game when it's just not fun... I'm ready for something exciting to happen.

Side note: I'm interested in creating a family tree of all the Rojo's. Does anybody know of anything on the web   that I can do this with?

HAPPY SIMMING!

Baby Boom

Luna and Sharon might not get along, but they have three things in common. They're both about to pop, they both aren't fond of maternity leave from work, and they both do things a pregnant woman shouldn't be doing. Remember Luna's little rummage through trash? Well I found Sharon lifting a whole lot of weights.

Generation One has been hanging around a lot lately. It's almost like they never left. Marty doesn't even sleep in his grave.

And Laurel is such a loner she's hardly left the mausoleum.

Her kids are very young and don't understand why they're grandparents are so different from them. Luna had to teach her kids about death at a very young age.

Late that night Luna had her baby. Welcome to Riverview Anthony Rojo! He rolled Neurotic and Loves the Outdoors. I can't wait to see how these traits show themselves. I'm a bit of a predictable player. I always pick they same "good" traits. So rolling them has been kind of hard but also exciting.

And very early the next morning, Sharon had her baby. Welcome to Riverview Micheal Jr. Rojo! He rolled Evil and Athletic. Perfect personality blend of his parents... Sharon got what she wanted. He already has all the traits he needs to be Emperor of Evil one day. I don't think Luna or Marty is going to like this.

Micheal immediately started thinking about moving out... He loved his sisters and the rest of the family, but his family was growing now too. It was getting too crowded at home. It also didn't help that he had an evil wife and child. He didn't think the rest of his family could ever love them like he did.

I moved them out to a very nice 3 bedroom house across the street. All the Rojos are living on the same street now.

Time is going by faster than I can keep up with.

Noe Rojo (son of Leesha and Dimitri) aged up to toddler. He has his mom's hair and his dad's eyes.

And Mathew and Wu's twin girls aged to teenagers. Wu is also about to have another baby.

Sherry Rojo got her dad's features and her mom's eye and hair color.

Tawnya Rojo looks EXACTLY like her mom Wu, except she has her dad's eye color. I'm not sure who's hair color that is.

It's so fun seeing how sims' genetics mix.

HAPPY SIMMING!

Screenshots of the Extended Rojos.

I don't get to see much of Marty's other children and their family's, with so much going on right now in the game. So I brought them all up in CAS. I'll start with the oldest blood relative and their families and work from there.

Marty Jr. Rojo

and his partner Bradly

It's too bad they can't have babies with their combined DNA, because those children would be absolutely gorgeous. Especially if they were little girls.

Mathew Rojo

I tried to bring up his wife, Wu, but it wouldn't allow it because apparently she's PREGNANT! there are 3 Rojo women pregnant right now. Luna, Sharon, and now Wu.

But here are Mathew and Wu's twin girls.

Sharon

She has her dad's eye shape and nose, but everything else is like her mom.

and Tawnya

Really not sure who's hair that is, but I think she looks exactly like Wu for now.

Leesha Rojo

and her husband Dimitri

And their son, Dimitri Jr. Rojo

Yay for red hair! He has his dad's skin color, ears, eye shape and mouth, and his mom's nose, eye color and hair color.

They also have a baby boy named Noe. But he's still too tiny for CAS.

That's it for the extended relatives so far. Not including in-laws. But the families are all growing, and i'm thinking about moving out Micheal, Sharon and their future child/ren as soon as Sharon has the baby. I think i'll have Lilith go find a spouse to live with her in the garage apartment on the Rojo's land.

And by special request i've uploaded Micheal Rojo.

You can find him here Micheal Rojo on TS3 exchange

My game froze up shortly after taking these pictures, so I didn't have a chance to find out any of the children's traits.

HAPPY SIMMING!

In Memory of Marty and Laurel Rojo. Generation 1.

Since the beginning, Marty and Laurel had a special connection. Marty saw a beauty in Laurel Grisby that others didn't see, and Laurel saw a kindness in Marty Rojo that others didn't see in that daredevil.

They started their life together at the local pub, not sure what to expect for the future but very happy with the present.

Marty told Laurel that they would leave a legacy in Riverview, and they quickly started on the process.

They didn't have much in the beginning, but they had each other.

And soon a few more!

And then some more!

It was hard work, but by selling Laurel's paintings and having Marty work from home in addition to going to work, they were able to provide for their family.

And as the family got bigger and grew older...

So did their home.

They taught their children the importance of hard work.

And although sometimes times were hard...

They stuck together and made it better.

Through all the tears...

And all the cheers...

And all the years...

They had each other.

R.I.P. Marty Rojo (106) and Laurel Rojo (95).

Marty and Laurel are survived by their son Marty Jr. and his partner Bradly, their son Mathew and his wife Wu, their daughter Leesha and her husband Dimitri, their daughter Luna and her husband Amit, their daughter Lilith, their son Micheal and his wife Sharon, and their grand children: Dimitri Jr, Sherry, Tawnya, Ariel, Amit Jr., and Noe.
