This is my first entry as a teen, yes, I Emma Hamming are a teen! I don't feel much different, just taller. Let's go back to the beginning of the week before I tell you about my birthday. We have been really busy here at the Hamming's house. Mom has been teaching Sadie to walk,
Sadie learned to walk really fast, being a genius and all.
Mom taught her to talk,
but is still working on potty training.
Cleo learned to talk,
and is almost how to walk.
They are growing up so fast! I remember when my mom had to juggle 2 nooboos, 2 new toddlers and 2 toddlers who were almost kids. Daisy and I spent time with Aubry and Jessi, i was going to miss playing with the block table, and baking with an oven that as far as i know doesn't cause fires. We spent the weekend playing and watching t.v.. It was all fun and games till this happened,

I felt myself slipping under the water and began gasping for air. I had just enough energy to swim to the edge and jump out. I sat on the ground and took in air. A scream awoke my senses. Little Jessi had fallen in the pool and was drowning. But dad hadn't shown her what to do so she was flailing her arms and screaming. Jessi was much too far for us to reach her, so Daisy jumped up from the pool and yelled 'Mom!Mom! Help! Jessi fell in the pool!!!!' as she ran. I was hoping that my mom would have enough time to come and save her, but i saw that she was slipping more and more under the water, and her cries for help were whispers. I was still afraid, but I jumped into the pool and swam out as fast as i could. ' Jessi!' i cried, ' I'm coming!' I wrapped my arm around her and pulled her to the ladder. She numbly climbed out and i followed her. My mom came running out the back door. "ARE YOU OKAY?" she screamed embracing us in a hug. Jessi nodded, ' Emma saved me!" She told my mom in awe. " Thank you." she told me. I shrugged it off, but i know it meant a lot to her, it would mean a lot to anyone. My mom took Jessi upstairs to calm her down because she was still a little freaked out, as was i. I went to my room and changed then watched TV with my other sisters. Emma came down and gave my mom and me a hug.
Everyone went to sleep early that night. I crawled into bed and fell asleep almost instantly. The next morning I woke up early with Jessi and we ate nice hot waffles then played with the block table, Aubry joined us too.It was a little babyish in my opinion, but i was bonding with them so what ever.

I left for my tearful last day at elementary school, I wasn't sure if i was ready to leave behind the mindless play of a child. But i put on a smile and help back my tears.

My sister on the other hand wanted to be teen, she changed her mind the minute she blew out the candles that night

When I got home, I was a mess. I didn't want to become a teen, I didn't want to have to prepare for young adulthood. i wanted to play on the playground and ride pink ponies that go round and round. But you have to age up eventually.....
I took a leap in the air and let the sparkles consume. With a deep breath, I was a teen. [Please excuse the clothing and hair.] Daisy sat into the sparkles instead.
[-please excuse her whole look, her appointment is tomorrow.]
Then we had a family dinner with everyone there,


Author's note:
  • I think it may be a bit serious but I wanted to show another part of Emma
  • Jessi and Emma did actually get the drowning moodlet. Which has never happened before on my game and when they got out of the pool they were fatigued. Has this happened to anyone else? 
The next update will have the new wardrobes and looks of our new teens!
Hope you liked it!

What a great update! Oh and I love your house!

Swimming is actually something you can do to raise your athletic skill so like any athletic activity there comes a point when a person becomes fatigued.  Having fatigue is usually what leads a Sim to drown in the pool.

Thank you! That makes sense now, I sorta, kinda freaked out when I saw that. Let's just say Rose has put the pool off limits for a few days and might be introducing a new fence around the pool! :)

I'm going to let Daisy upload her part, but I will be going first so I leave you entertained. Because Daisy will probably be boring[don't tell her I said that!] I gained the bookworm trait when I aged up. I'm debating wether I want to be a Artist or a Actress. So here is my AMAZING wardrobe!
-This is my everyday one, it is really cute in my opion and perfect for a day of painting, [or acting!]
- Everyday two. This is my favorite outfit. I love the nature tones and it is awesome for going to the park or shopping with my sisters!
-Everyday three. For nice spring or fall or summer or warmer winter day.
-This is my fancy dress. My mom says I look so grown up in it, I think it's pretty, just long.
- p.j.s, nice and comfy.
-Athletic, nice and warm for a morning run.
- My mom says 'll be turning some heads in this! My dad said " Where's the rest of it?!" Well, that's my outfits. Now i hand you over to Daisy, I am truly sorry. I hope you forgive me, :'(

I'm Daisy. I bet my sister has told you I will bore you to near death, but I won't! I gained the genius and I am studying to become a doctor. But i also like playing the bass to relax. Here's my wardrobe, it may not be as 'bright' as Emma's, but I like it.
-Everyday one, I went for a more sophisticated look, which is why Emma calls me boring.
- Everyday 2, just a nice, simple outfit.
- Everyday 3, the only outfit that Emma approves of, because she picked it out.
- Fancy, I might actually start wearing more yellow, what do you think?
- Pajamas, yet another outfit by Emma.
- Athletic, a bit colorful. It isn't really diplomatic.
-Finally, my swim wear. i don't know if a wanna be valedictorian wears butterflies, but i do!
Hopefully I didn't bore you to almost death! Now it's  back to Emma in the next update..

Author's note:
  • Hope you enjoyed their outfits, i think Emma is cuter but Daisy is cute too! Tell me which one you prefer
  • Next update: Mad rush to get toddler skills, date night for Mom and Dad[ Finally!] and possible more kid and teen drama!

HELP THE HAMMINGS
So my sims are very busy right now and i am in a bit of a dilemma. First is the dad is three days from being and elder and the mom is two days to being an adult. So i don't know what to do, should i let the dad just age up or should he get a tattoo to save himself some time? The second is the toddlers have two days till they are kids and Sadie needs to be potty trained but cleo needs to learn to walk and potty, so Sadie may be the only one to learn all her skills but i will try to teach Cleo hers.The teens might have to pitch in! And the third and most important is in Bridgeport everything seems to lag and is slow, many people experience this, so i might move them somewhere. If i move them it will most likely be to good old sunset valley. I'm trying to see if i can sit it out, but i gets pretty annoying and the toddlers needs decrease WAY too fast. So if you think i should move them tell me, i'd try to keep the house and just edit it a tad. I'll try to have an update tomorrow. If anyone can help with my  dilemma please do.

When you are in edit town area, go to options and go to game options, from there you can choose how long a Sim is in each stage of life.  I had the same problem so I change the life span. P.S I had that drowning problem too! In my story Little House in the Woods 2 of the main characters died! So I had to remake the WHOLE story, which kind of turned out not so good. I hope this helped! If I wasn't clear then let me know.

Yeah, I think I have it on long, but I may just let him live how he is. I read[reading] your story, Little House in the woods and it is very good just so you know! I still thought it was good! I think they may be moving off to good, old sunset valley!

I'm moving the Hammings to Sunset valley. I am going to edit the town before they move there though, I'll be sure to show the renovations, I just want it to look more modern. They will be in the same housem just a few changes to it. And I might move in a few families so it has a better feel to it. 

Emma
So, you know how I said my mom want's to move to Appaloosa or Sunset Valley . Well, guess where were going?...... If you guessed Sunset Valley, you are correct and your prize, a virtual car the size of your pinkie! I don't want to move. And for the first time ever, Daisy, Aubry Jessi and me ALL agree we don't want to move. Mom says the house is like the twin to ours [ha ha, so funny.] But I have Friends here, my mom was like, " You'll make new friends honey, don't worry.' But I don't want to make new friends! I just want to keep my friends. Sadie and Cleo could care less. My dad said he 'just so happened' to get a role in some movie being filmed there. I think it's called " The Sunsets In Valley" or some other ridiculous name. I know I'm NEVER going to like living there. But to top it off my mom is bribing us to get us to go. She told Daisy that she could compete in chess competitions, Aubry that she will put a pond in our yard and Jessi that she can get a horse when she is a teen. Then she told me I could get an easel or a computer. Seriously! If she feels so bad, why are we moving? She says that we need some 'fresh' air. That's why I thought we had bubbles around the parks. Right Mom? That's what you told me. Sorry if i sound like a brat, I just don't want to move. I like the city, mom says there are an actual blue sky, but I find nothing wrong with a fake one. And that you can see the stars, I personally though astronomy was boring, so, it doesn't really make me want to move. But Daisy got all excited she could actually use her telescope. Mom says were moving just before the twins kid birthdays, way to go Mom! I bet they will love not having a party, no biggie. Now I have to go and pack, Farewell Bridgeport, I will truly miss you.....

Like Emma said, sorry if she sounded bratty, I just wanted to sound like she wanted nothing to do with moving. I will use the same house  in Sunset Valley, because I just love their house. Should have it posted tomorrow.

Sunset Valley will be much better.  I hope Emma will be happy there. just remember to place a movie studio in the town before you move them in. Otherwise Matthew will loose his job. Looking forward to their adventures in Sunset valley. :)

Emma
This is just a short update, because my mom is going to call me soon for Sadie and Cleo's Kid birthday. I may have over exaggerated a tad when I said I wouldn't like  Sunset Valley. Let's just say i met someone who changed my view on Sunset Valley and now I LOVE  living here. We are all happier here! And big, big, BIG news, I have a boyfriend! He is so sweet! He is always giving me flowers and calling me asking if I want to meet him somewhere! I'm not going to tell you who he is yet, I want to introduce him properly with pictures in the next update. I've also started writing, my book is called 'The Fault In Our Words'. Dad has also been writing, but he worries me more and more. He is getting closer and closer to being an elder and and .. and... well you know what. He has been writing at all hours of the day, his fingers dance across the keyboard faster then I thought possible. And when his books arrive he hides them up in his room and doesn't let anyone read them or look at them. My mom says he's just making use of his free time. But when ever mom tells me this she looks off into no where and I see tears in the corners of her eyes. I wish dad could go back and be the same age as mom, because she is going to take it so very hard. She's always smiles when she talks about the good things about dad.... Jessi, Aubry, Cleo and Sadie don't know that dad is so very close to being an elder. Mom, Daisy and me don't have the heart to tell them yet. They will sadly know soon enough, because his birthday is coming up... I... I... I just wish... sometimes.. that no one would have to get older and we could... live like that forever.... but I know I would regret it later.. but just... just more time... it's all I ask... all I ask... *[A tear blurs the next few words.]* Well mom is calling me, time to go and see more time go by, and dad's time slipping away....

I will have a proper update tomorrow, hopefully in the afternoon
Hope you liked the update!
