Thanks everyone! Sorry I'm splitting this up. Right after the age up I did a ton of playing (i.e. study procrastination.) This should catch you guys up. Also if anyone is having problems or these scrapbook pages load slowly let me know. I can always go in and condense them. I was on a story the other day to where the images took way to long to load so I'm paranoid. Anyway now to get this song stuck in everyone's head. Mwaahahahaha



Great Balls of Fire

Well this is my first official scrapbook page....maybe I should say hi Grandma or something here. Umm Hi Grandma in the future so that techinally makes me older than you? Wow that makes my head hurt. Mom's passed the torch onto me. She is emailing Aunt Hylarie watching.

Sooo I was born lucky. Everyone tells me I am. I'm clumsy too but explain to me this...


Tuesday was a night quiet afternoon. Mom built a fire in our new wood stove. Dianne and Wesley both were working on homework. I decided to read a steamy romance novel I borrowed from our bookstore.  I don't know how it happened considering I was no where near the stove. However, I noticed the romance was getting a little too steamy. It wasn't steam it was smoke. I've never been so scared in my life. I saw nothing but flames and it hurt so badly. Thankfully Dad and Wesley saved me. The firefighters were very slow at responding! If we had waited for them I probably would have met the Grim Keeper!


Apparently, the entire family is trying to burn themselves. Wesley went outside to work on the workbench. We all learned a valuable lesson. The world does not need a roman candle cannon. It's hilarious to watch Wesley try to sit in the chair. Mom says he should be healed soon but until then he has a sore behind! Dianne had a great idea of filling the hot tub with some cool water and running the jets. It felt good on our burns..even if we broke the hot tub doing it.


Despite my utter humiliation I am in LOVE! A cousin of the Inkbeards moved into town and just started school. His name is German and he is the most amazing looking sim I have ever seen. So when he came home with Wesley after school I primped and looked my best.

German kept staring at me ignoring Wesley. Wesley went to work and German stayed behind. We got to talking..then kissing..then talking..and another kiss. It's amazing to have a boyfriend. Mom hates how I barely know him and jumped into it. I can't help it sparks flew! We were barely friends when we started making out in the hot tub. That is until Dad busted us. He kicked German out of the house. We aren't allowed in the hot tub anymore. Dad was fuming catching German's hands being what he called "too friendly" Actually...Dad's face was redder than German's skin...it doesn't matter I have a date waiting on me down at the Grind.

No more fires for me!

Hi future Grandma this is Dianne. The smart one

Raquelle: Dianne you better not be putting that creepy thing in the book!

I thought you should meet the neatest member of our family. This is sparky.


He's cute and has quirks and we never know where we are going to find him next. I found him at a Consignment Shop in Town and...hheeeyyyy RAQUELLE SPARKY IS NOT DEMONIC

Raquelle: Yes it is it was in my room, pointed and laughed at me getting dressed!

Not it isn't

Raquelle: Yes it is


Note from Wesley...page never finished they are arguing. The gnome is hiding under Raquelle's bed now. hehehe

Lol, I know what Raquelle means!  ;D Also I don't think we are supposed to have coloured text in our posts so you might want to take the blue out.  ;)

Lol I know what you mean I left my Legacy unpaused for half an hour came back and the father was making out with the daughters husband and the daughter was crying. Then to make things worse I looked for the Mother and she was gone, there was a grave by the pool. Don't you just love Story Progression?  ;D

Samoht...that's just messed up and I'm laughing because it doesn't surprise me! Story Progression is awesome and random. I'm working on the scrapbook pages now. So it should be up in a bit.

Jessie, awww thanks! That's sweet of you to say. Learn from us. Never leave sims unattended! :P


Birthdays bring changes

All reports are done and everything has been turned in. Nervously I stood and received my diploma and graduated high school. That night Mom had a cake ready for a family party. I was so excited. Dad even allowed me to invite German over. It was big of him to let me considering Dad cannot STAND German at all.

German was so charming that night. He smiled and said he had a surprise for me. He pulled out a box with a cake in it. It was his birthday too! I couldn't believe the luck. We didn't have to leave each other behind this way.


German grew up just as handsome as ever. Then Mom brought out the most delicious strawberry cake with cream cheese icing. Wesley rushed home from work and Dianne even took off so she could be at my party. All together we cheered as I blew out my candles.


After stuffing ourselves on strawberry cake and German's chocolate cake Dad slipped some money into my hand. He insisted that German and I go out to celebrate together as young adults. Mom hugged Dad and I believe I saw tears in both of their eyes.

German and I didn't head anywhere fancy just downtown to Eugi's. We had some drinks and talked the night away. I wanted so badly to propose to German. I loved him and knew he was the man I wanted to spend my life with.

Each time It tried to bring up the future German would either kiss me or change the subject. I'm starting to wonder about him. Maybe he came on too strong upstairs. We were excited and it was just a few kisses. The power wasn't out that long for us to be stuck in the elevator very long.


A few days later I wasn't feeling well. The world was reeling and I knew in an instant. It wasn't bad cheese I was feeling. How on earth would I tell Mom and Dad. They would be furious. The daily newspaper didn't help anything when my name was on the front page with a full color photo.

Depressed I sat at home for three days watching television. Three days my name was the headline of the latest scandal column. All of them were lies and I knew it. I don't know what hurt worse. My town I grew up in and loved booing at me if I stepped outside the house, or having the man I love avoid me like the plague.

When the baby bump came I knew I had to fess up to Mom. Late one night we talked outside to avoid waking up everyone. Mom was amazingly supportive. She even confessed that all these years her and Dad lied about their wedding date. Apparently I was on the way before the wedding!

Immediately Mom sat me down and checked me out to make sure medically I was okay. I confessed I wanted a boy. From all indications Mom said we had a bouncing boy inside of me. For the first time in months I smiled and was excited. I got up and teleported to town suing to get my good name back. Local gossips learned a valuable lesson..never mess with a pregnant Millham woman!

After the case I went to the bookstore and stocked up on every pregnancy book in there. I also told the manager to order more. The supermarket had a giant stock of watermelons putting on display out front. I bought an entire flat. Mom says it was the hormones talking to me. Wesley and Dianne teased when they realized I ate fifty of them before I even drove home.

My family would have to be the greatest. Granted Dad is polishing a shotgun threatening to kill German but he won't. Not even my protective Dad would deny a nooboo a chance to know their father. German hasn't been around much since I told him the news. I was very cranky and hormonal that day. I bit his head off.


Dianne invited me to her spa for a day. My back hurt badly and she was learning how to be a masseuse. I think she just wanted a guinea pig. Mom insisted I'd go saying it'd do wonders. However I realized quickly when the table got wet that it wasn't just my back hurting!

Fifteen hours later and Dianne's horrible driving without a license...I have two beautiful nooboos. One gorgeous little boy whom inherited German's red skin. I named him Antony. Sneakily hiding behind Antony in my belly was Kairen. Kairen is the most beautiful little girl you have ever seen!

For a gift Mom and Dad had bought a gorgeous dark cherry crib and set it up in my room. They were shocked when Dianne and I walked in with two. Dad rushed to the store with his chest puffed to get a second. I had so much fun re-arranging my room to fit the cribs. Mom said we could add a room for them. I want Antony and Kairen close for now. They are so little.

I feel different I feel older. I took a harder path but I have an amazing family to support me. Even if there are seven sims in this house for now! If German chooses to be with us that will be his decision. However, I'm not waiting on him. I'm going to give these kids the best life I can on my own.

Oh wow girl what a twist! I love how you used the title as part of the story...if that makes sense :P Maybe this is a theme? On another no, the elevator sentence is a tad confusing (not wanting to tear you down, but you did say you wanted constructive criticism). Okay on a positive note, the scrapbook pages are a great idea and I love them more and more with each post. Looks like your issues with boring kids didn't last, eh? ;) Oh! And welcome to the world little Antony and Kairen!

Life Marches On

I don't know if things are different or it just hit me. I am not a kid anymore. My kid sister is a teenager and in the midst of her first love. We are all excited it was Roldofo Cross-Inkbeard. They have been best friends since they could walk. None of us were surprised to see them out by the back gate kissing each other. Even Roldofo's old girlfriend could see it coming. She was very good natured about the breakup. It's amazing to see those three hanging out and having fun!


The twins are finally sleeping all night. What is sad is I am still up wide awake! I can't believe the one night I can sleep through and I can't sleep. Mom says that's a part of motherhood. She's up tonight too preparing for Wesley's birthday. He wanted something simple this year. Wesley just asked that we have a party with just us and Rosie.

Rosie has been having troubles at home. Apparently her Mother Celeste Malfia isn't as accepting of the relationship between Wesley and her daughter. There's been many nights Rosie has slept over in Dianne's room after being kicked out. Rosie confided in me that a piece of her was torn between Wesley and her family. The saddest part about it is she has to pick soon. Wesley and Rosie have the same birthday.


Rosie and Wesley's big birthday has come and gone now. It was a fun party full of cake and laughter. Rosie was snuggling Kairen and smiling big. She's made her decision to let her Mother be petty and choose happiness.

Good thing too because in the middle of their birthday dinner Wesley whips out the biggest ring! Apparently all those acting jobs paid off. Overjoyed Rosie said yes and giggled as Dianne took her to the computer to look at wedding dresses. I could see the worry in Wesley's eyes though. He claims he loves her and wants to be with her all the time now that they are young adults. Mom, Dad, and I know better. Wesley watched German shirk me and he doesn't want to lose Rosie.

We are all very supportive and will help anyway we can. Mom and Dad sat down and had a long talk about managing money and being young and at the bottom of their career tracks. Rosie had already signed up for the Military. Wesley was recruited to play professional basketball by the local team.


Wesley has been bummed because the home down the hill from us has sold. He wanted to be close to the family house for after the Grim Keeper comes for Mom and Dad. I told him it was okay that I could manage. Wesley refuses to move far away and leave me "defenseless." 

Dianne wants badly to tell him the secret so he will stop moping and get excited about wedding plans. Mom and Dad bought the lot down the hill from us and built the cutest little two bedroom home in it. Mom sneakily even put a crib in there. I teased her asking if two grandbabies was enough.


The wedding was absolutely gorgeous! Rosie loved the curls I did in her hair. She made an amazing bride. She was especially excited to see her Mom come to the wedding. Mom and Dad stayed away from Celeste. Dianne tells me that Celeste picked a small fight with Mom after the ceremony.  Wesley beamed with pride and almost cried when Mom and Dad gave him the keys to their new house. The house is going to seem so empty with Wesley gone. Good thing he is a short jog away!

In all the Wedding mayhem Dad thought we had forgotten his birthday. The joke was on him though. Grandma and Grandpa Lai even came to the wedding driving brand new sports cars. I think Grandma Lai has given into her klepto ways again. It's amazing how that old lady gets around!


Despite the fact that Grandpa Lai has more wrinkles, Dad is a dead ringer for him. It's amazing how much he looks like Grandpa now. Everyone at the party was teasing asking what he wanted to be called by his grandkids.

At first it was odd though Wesley and Rosie were late for the party. Then they walked in and what an entrance! Instead of her chic trendy outfits Rosie loves she was wearing a maternity dress and had the cutest baby bump. I don't know who squealed louder Dianne or myself. Mom immediately rushed over to hug Rosie and determine the gender. Mom says it's a boy. Rosie told me she is secretly hoping for a girl. Can you imagine? A little nooboo with Rosie's gorgeous blonde hair and Wesley's blue eyes. It's so exciting!

With Every Ending Comes a New Beginning

Family dinner the other night was eventful to say the least. Grandma and Grandpa Lai was over for dinner. Dianne invited Roldolfo. Actually Roldolfo was just there. He tends to just hang around. We were all enjoying some leftover birthday cake and cooing over the nooboos when we heard the music.



Grandpa Lai looked around eyes misty and stood up. I couldn't believe it was time for him to go. He asked each of us not to beg the Grim Reaper. He said he achieved his life's dream and wanted to go. I'm upset and mourning the loss of Grandpa. Several things happened that evening that disturb me.

First off I began looking at our snapshots of the party. Dianne's boyfriend Roldolfo was laughing and cheering when the Grim Reaper showed up. Maybe there is more to this kid than what meets the eye. I'm going to try to encourage her to find new friends. I doubt she will listen though.


After Grandpa had gone I noticed the Grim Reaper hanging around. He kept looking at Mom and rubbing his hands excited. I'm not ready too lose her! Mom is way to young to cross over! Desperate to distract him I agreed to post for a picture. Dianne quickly rushed a broken hearted Grandma Lai outside to get her away from the Grim Reaper. I think he's hungry for Sims to join him today.

Dad mourned the loss of his father. I can't imagine losing a parent. I don't want to imagine life without them. We all agreed when Dad insisted on building a small family cemetery on the lot. The cemetery isn't too creepy. It's at the very edge of the lot overlooking the bluff. Oddly appropriate for a place of rest in Barnacle Bay. Dad buried Grandpa Lai and carved the epitaph himself. The epitaph reads "Gil Lai, Dad of Jonah, May the Cheese be with You". I don't understand it but I think it's a joke between them.


Mom insisted I go out and walk around town. I think they wanted time to just talk and cuddle the grandbabies. Unfortunately it wasn't the best of times for me to be going out. I pretty much ignored all of my friends in town walking like a zombie. Good news is that I sold two more paintings I dropped off.

However, I looked around the corner at Founder's Park. There was German talking, laughing, and having fun. Since Antony and Kairen have been born I haven't seen German at all. I've called and called. He refuses to talk to me. German skipped out on each family event we have had and I've invited him too. He never comes over to see his children even when he is invited. The more I looked at him the angrier I felt..the more hurt welled up inside. I just blew my top. I marched promptly over and broke up with him on the spot. What's crazy enough is he had the nerve to try to flirt with me at first!


German is lucky I haven't slapped him yet. Especially since we've all seen him lurking around Wesley and Rosie's. Mom has even seen Rosie flirt with him a few times. Something isn't right there if you ask me. We won't tell Wesley though..not right now. Especially since Grandpa just died. Especially since we just got word that Rosie has given birth to Jerry.



Jerry is a cute little baby. He has Wesley's striking blue eyes. Rosie was excited to have dinner with us on Friday. It was the twin's birthdays. I can't believe my two babies were toddlers! I invited Grandma Lai, Aunt Hannah and her kids, and even German. Wesley brought over Rosie and the baby. Despite my hurt the twins deserved to have him there. It was only right.

Being self-employed as a painted gave me all day to dress up and clean house. I baked two cakes and made dinner for everyone. I peeked out the window an hour before the party was set to start. I could see German out there torn. It's the first emotion I've seen in him. However he quickly left before anyone else arrived.

Antony and Kairen grew up very well. Antony's skin is a bit lighter than German's but you can tell he is his father's child. Both of them inherited my dark hair. I was a bit disappointed I was hoping for a cute little blond. Hopes aside it's time to fill the tub and dump both toddlers in. They are wearing more of their cake than they actually ate.

Isn't that the way with toddlers? Always wearing more food than they get in their little tummys. Good for you, Raquelle! German was bad news anyway. Now maybe she can find a daddy for the little ones...and that could mean more nooboos in the future! Yeah I'm a little stuck on the nooboos today, can you tell, Nicky? :P

Worries and Loneliness


Loneliness stinks there just isn't any two ways around it. It ranks right up there with worrying about your children. Pretty quickly after the twins were born I became depressed.

Rumors around town whisper about how horrible I am for breaking up with German. According to Dianne he walks around town moping and cries mid date with other girls. I'm flattered right? Well maybe if he come and see his kids I'd be happier.


I mean who wouldn't want these two kids. They are adorable. Kairen has begun playing with books. She cant read but loves flipping through them and giggling. Antony has learned already how to get whatever he wants from Grandpa with just a coo. Dianne has been researching their twin language. She claims there is sense to their babbling.


Then why am I so upset all the time? Wesley invited me over to a party. According to him it would lighten me up and do me good to act young again. He also said this elbow deep in poopie diaper. So much for being young!

Mom and Dad took the twins to the park. Dianne was off at her science club competition. So I went. Then it happened. German was there. Rosie had invited him. Which is nice considering it was a class reunion..and everyone was there. Maybe if I was thinking clearly I could actually write eloquently and this be an amazing page worth commenting on for years to come.

However, I'm not thinking clearly. The sun is setting. Kairen and Antony are toddling around the yard practicing their newfound walking skill and giggling. I am thinking....and thinking...because for the first time in years German and I kissed.


Dianne walked up with her first place ribbon. She stopped shocked and stared up.

Dianne: Where'd the house...

Raquelle: I built a new one. It's bigger more room for us. Two floors and a basement big bedrooms lots of windows.

Dianne: I can see that it's pretty...

Raquelle: German kissed me

Dianne: Before after you attacked our house and built a new one

Raquelle: At the party...I came home and did this.

Then Dianne sat on the steps with me and hugged me. We watched the sun set over the sea. I build the house closer to the bluff so we could enjoy more of the view. She said it was okay we couldn't afford all the pretty things to fill the house yet we could fill it slowly. Nothing more needed to be said.


Mom and Dad came home and smiled. I could hear them both sigh in relief to see me back at the easel again. I haven't touched it since before I had Antony and Kairen. They never pressed me to work to help support. They knew I was struggling. Also, any sim could live easily off our real estate investments around town.


Our new house felt like a new home and a new beginning. I felt like a new me since I began high school. I'm enjoying my two kids more. German and I are speaking to each other again. It may actually lead to somewhere who knows. Mom is currently debating how to fill up our porches. I built two huge ones on the house. Dad  is debating on fencing in the entire property. Life's life and it's beautiful.

I laughed so hard at this one!   :D

I like the post (no matter how much you try to say you didn't like it). When I looked at the first picture I did a double take. I always knew Raquelle was a pretty sim but wow!

Fate's a Funny Thing


I've been determine to work off extra weight I put on when I was expecting the twins. They were almost children now and I still looked a little dumpy. Every evening after everyone got home I'd head out jogging to town.

On one of my jogs I ran into German. German and I had been talking and dating a little. Things were going well I thought. So I brought up marriage again. I proposed to him for the eighth time. Also, for the eighth time German rejected me. He insisted he wasn't ready. I'm so angry at myself for letting myself believe that maybe we could be something more. Rejected and depressed I jogged home.


To my shock I saw smoke billowing out of the house! I ran as fast as I could thinking only of my two babies. Thankfully they were in the living room playing with their block set. Dad had been tinkering and set the television in their room on fire. Dianne had quickly thought to call the fire department to get them here.

Dad, Dianne, and I worked hard to put out the fire. Mom kept the twins a safe distance away. Unfortunately the fire got even worse when a flame touched Dianne's sweater and it burst into flames. Thankfully the fire department  arrived and helped us put her out. Dad angrily fussed at his woodstove blaming it on the fire.

I turned to thank the firemen for saving my sister and then I looked into the deepest kindest eyes I have ever seen. A thank you turned into a request to hang out. One hour turned into two...and then five of non-stop talking. I couldn't help myself I started flirting with Ronny the Fireman. Dianne later told me he was even flirting back!

After Ronny left promising to call again, Dad came to me furious. He began yelling about Antony and Kairen. Dad kept saying over and over how I owed it to them to try German again. We went to bed furious at each other.


So instead of dating out Ronny came over every day at 9:20am sharp. It was a time when just the kids and us were in the house. Ronny played and tickled them. Antony and Kairen adored Ronny and squealed everyday  when he arrived. Slowly I begun to realized they were falling in love with him..and so was I.

Things with Ronny felt so natural and so right. I cried each time he had to leave. Finally one day he looked at me and said "I don't have to ever leave. I never want to leave. I love you Raquelle and those two toddlers feel like they are my own. Say the word and I'll stay and protect you love you until the day I die. "

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to say yes. Antony and Kairen giggled and said " no weab!". I was crying my eyes out nodding yes when Ronny put the most gorgeous ring in the world on my hand. The one thing rang in our minds was...how would we tell my family? Dianne and Wesley approved. Mom and Dad were hesitant.


That night the twins and I turned in early. Dianne worked on her homework. Mom and Dad cuddled and talked in the living room. Mom says the room got oddly cold when they looked to see Grandpa Gil shining sitting there. It had been years since he had died. We all heard stories of ghosts but thought they weren't real. We never had an otherworldly visitor before.

According to Mom he had one think on his mind and that was me. Mom and Dad both tried to tell him everything he had missed out on. Grandpa Gil always brought the subject back to me. I'm not sure what he said. However, the next morning Mom came down with a wedding dress she had saved for me and we started planning a party.


I wanted a small family gathering in our home. This way everyone could be a part in the special day. Soon after guests started arriving we realized we had several crashers. I peeked out shocked to see German standing there with Liliana. He eyed Kairen and Antony on the floor. It was the first time he had even seen them. If I hadn't have been so happy I would have kicked him out of the house myself. Mom and Dad insisted there be no strife on wedding day so we allowed him to stay.


Our wedding couldn't have been more perfect. Everyone danced and drank laughing the night away. It was all over the papers the next morning including rave reviews on my gown. Ronny kissed me and smiled. He said he was happy that I was happy.

A piece of me was still angry seeing the other wedding announcement. German had married Lilianna two nights before. That creep brought her to my wedding! That creep came to my wedding acting like he cared! Ronny quickly gave me that dreamy smile of his and I quickly forgot everything after a massage. I don't think I've ever been happier...or seen my parents at such peace.
