Thank you to everyone for the comments and reading.  I got wrapped up in Building for the Building Contest and forgot to do the update I wanted to do today haha.

@KRae  I hope you enjoyed the ride.  I know I have a few times!  Here's to hoping the new ride is just as much fun. 





Melody - What do you mean you've chosen your destiny?
Aria - I know what I want to do.  My aspiration as Addy called it.
Melody - And what's that dear?
Aria - To get new clothes and tell you all about it on our way.
Artie - I'm off to work.
Aria - Okay Daddy.. we'll leave when you get home.
Melody - Leave for where?
Aria - You'll see.


Artie - Why am I outdoors in what feels like almost a field?
Addy - Aria wanted to come to Granite Falls.
Artie - Ehhh
Addy - Suck it up and go gather stuff while everyone fishes.


Artie - I thought I was done getting insects back in Sunset Valley.  I don't see Colt doing this.. do you?
Addy - Will you pipe it down and just grab the fire ants?
Artie - Shush woman.


Random pink ranger... makes me giggle every time.


Melody *hyperventilating as far from the water as possible*
Addy - What's wrong with you?
Melody - I actually.. caught..a  fish.  It was .. so gross.
Addy - Oy.  Go hike it off..


Simonis - Whoa.. look what I found.
Random Fisher - That thing is almost as big as you are.
Simonis - For now.  But tonight is my birthday.
Addy - That's right.. it is.  I should tell Aria so she remembers we can't be here all day.


Reid caught something more than fish. 
Reid - I really like your camping flannel. 
Cara Rupp - Thanks.  So what do you do when you're not in Granite Falls?
Reid - Oh I work for Dewey, Cheatem and Howe.   What about you?
Cara - I just started as the new mailperson.
Reid - Awesome so.. when we get back can I call you maybe?  We could have some drinks, get to know each other better.
Cara - I'd like that.


Cass - Aren't you having any fun?
Robin - Of course, just a little tired.  Worried I'll be too sleepy to stay up for the birthday.
Cass - I'm sure Aria is almost done and we'll be headed back anytime now. 
Addy - Yep!  I was just about to interrupt family time to let you know.  You two ready to get older!
Simonis - Yes!
Cass - Maybe.


Simonis - Ahh all the noise and bad singing. *blows candles quick*
Reid - Yeah I'm so not making a big deal of my birthday in a few days.
Melody - You should at least let us know you're doing the cake.
Reid - Nope..


Simonis - How bad is it..?
Addy - I think you've managed to  come out of this with a mixture of both parents.  It's not bad at all.
Simonis - *whew* 


Cass - *wishing:  Don't make me all weird shaped.. please*
Reid - Uh Melody.. your arm..


Cass - Okay this isn't so bad.
Addy - No.. just a little bit wider in the mid section but otherwise you look great honey.
Cass - Yeah.  Thanks.
Addy - You want to dye your hair?
Cass - I earned every one of these grays.
Addy - Sounds good to me. 


Double Makeover picture because I forgot to take more. I'll have to get on that if you guys want them.


The next night...
Alex - Oh wow.. that's a strong little kick going on in there..
Yuki - It really is.  I was worried you weren't going to want to see me now that I've become pregnant.
Alex - You kidding? I think you should stay the night.  In fact, let me give you a foot massage to help you relax.
Yuki - Okay!


Yuki - You've done this before haven't you?
Alex - No, but all of my yoga has taught me a few things.  How's this?
Yuki - *tenses and then relaxes* oh that's nice.


Cara - Hi Reid-- Oh...
Reid - Hi.  I just wanted to say thank you for spending yesterday afternoon with me and all that.
Cara - You're welcome...
Reid - How about I give you a massage and we relax in the sauna huh?
Cara - Sounds wonderful


Addy - Ick. 
Cara - I take it this room is used a lot.
Addy - Yeah but not always for what you think..


Alex - Oh my watcher, Oh my watcher!
Addy - What's wrong?
Alex - She's gonna have a baby... She's gonna have a baby.
Addy - Looks to me like she's just sleeping.
Alex - No no.. I'm panicking for a reason.  Maybe I should wake her up. 
Addy - You do that.  I'm going to be downstairs where I can't hear her hit you.


It was this moment that I realized their hair was very similar...
Cara - Why you looking at me like that?
Reid - Oh no reason.. just wanted to know if you wanted to see my rocket... ship.  You know.. go into space with me.
Cara - Suuure.


Poor Yuki.. not only did Alex wake her up but then she peed herself.. and she's definitely in labor but nothing I can do will prompt her to go or let Alex take her.   However around 5 am, she left the house for a "family emergency".

Poor Yuki -- I think she has to be at her own home to give birth.

Has Aria decided to go with black hair?

And I feel for Melody -- I don't like the way fish feel either.

Poor Yuki, but once she gets home everything will be fine.

Tell the red man that Colt has spent plenty of time in Granite Falls.

Yeah has Aria gone with black hair? I guiding mines want to know??

Yeah.. Aria with dark hair because it seemed to work better for her.  I like it anyway.

And because a couple people mentioned it.  Went ahead and did this for you guys.

@Ricalynn I can't see the pics in the 'because people mentioned it' post. On another note, I love Aria's black hair contrasted with her red skin. It gives her some definition.

@dontmindme Try it now. Otherwise I'm not sure what the problem is.  Same photobucket folder and image type as all the others. 

Here are links just in case:  Aria Makeover & Simonis Makeover

The same thing is happening on my story and MarianT's Rival Dynasty. It must be a photobucket thing?

This is a silent reader who just discovered your story recently, I think it's lovely, and you've got a real knack for catching some really great facial expressions! Congrats on Artie reaching immortality! Looking forward to more. With 63 genetic variations on the CC, I think it's wonderful that Aria got the red!

@reggikko Since it's not just me, I'm going to bet it's a photobucket thing. After all the work it took me to make sure that people could actually see the photos too.  Now it's all kinds of giving issues.'

@boomboomraccoon Thank you!  I think it's awesome when I catch them making their faces.  The expressions are some of my favorite parts and with the emotions there seems to be a wider range this time around.


Anyone having problems with the images.  I'm attempting to work on it but photobucket is not exactly making it easy and no matter how many times I f5 or correct the links, nothing is coming up.   Hopefully this will resolve itself because it's their problem not the forums.  But I have no way of knowing at this time.

Yeah, it's pretty much forum-wide. I think it's best to hang tight and see if they get it sorted out. I can't even find on their page where to report it.

@Ricalynn

It's definitely a Photobucket thing.  I think their servers went down.  I used to love them, but I'm seriously considering switching because they've been steadily going downhill.  And I pay for the service...
