I feel awful about this. The names and traits were correct, however the pictures got mixed up. I don't know how it happened, I wrote the names and traits and snapped the pics in the correct order.  :'( All I know is, I opened the game tonight, called Kelvin over, blah blah and now she's already spun into her maternity clothes, but when I was looking at the last update, I realized that although Kelvin Alvarado is now Kelvin Halliwell, and his traits match the ones I posted, that is not Kelvin's picture. This is Kelvin.

Again, I'm so so sorry about the mix up. There are 2 things I could do. Continue on because even though it was the wrong pic, it's the right name that was chosen, or go back to the save before they were married, but I think they were engaged and I'd need to break them up. It's up to everyone but especially loveSims and ClaCla since they chose him from the wrong pictures. I really am sorry and I don't even know how this happened, but clearly it's my fault and I need to try and make it right.

Just a quick note to let the readers know that Esther's computer caught a bug.  :(  For the time being there will be no playing Sims, updates or posts from her.  She hopes to have her computer back in working order within a few days.
Ignorance is not an excuse, please read the forum rules.

Thanks loveSims and Rachel. It's ok, I don't read and comment like I used to either! And thank you so much Amber. My friend came over a few hours ago and worked on it. It seems to be alot better, but I still need to go through and delete some programs and clean up what he told me, so I probably won't be posting anything tonight. I have not even opened the Sims, so fingers crossed that the 4 viruses he removed didn't mess them up. He didn't have to do a system restore so I'm hopeful they are fine. I don't even know where I got the viruses from, I'm extremely cautious about what I click, but apparently I wasn't cautious enough. Considering I'm on my 5th try of a Dynasty, maybe it's just my computer's way of saying I can't complete it, but I'm really hoping I don't have to end this attempt. Fingers crossed guys!!  ;D

Good news and bad news on the Halliwell front. Good news is I just opened them and they are fine so the virus didn't hurt them. Bad news is the pets are still deformed, so it wasn't the virus making them that way. I just let him know, so I should be getting the new card tomorrow or the next day.

What Lovesims said! ;D I'm really glad your computer rebuff went well. :) When you get the right graphics options, the pets look so life-like!
When life gives you founders, you make an immortal dynasty!
Feel free to call me Simlish ;D

Thanks loveSims and Simlish! I'm going out of town today so I figured I'd post the first update, than when I get home, I'll post the wedding. So much seems to happen and I can't put them all in the same update lol. 
 
Precious caught her first rodent. It was a womrat! At least the little animals look normal! 
 
 
 
Pam called Kelvin and asked him to meet her at the bistro. While they were talking, a deer ran past.   
 
Oddly enough, Kelvin thought someone in the group had issues. So he left. The next day, she called him and invited him to the house. She than asked him to go to the theater with her. She may have done some flirting too because suddenly it went from a group outing to a date! So my baby is on her first date. 
 
 
After the tour, she flirted with him some more. Than she got her first kiss!   
 
Than she asked him to be her boyfriend. By her reaction, I guess he said yes! 
 
The next thing I know, she's on one knee, proposing to him! Yes all this took place right infront of the theater. She really wants that eternally faithful moodlet!   
 
They were watching the stars. 
 
Than their dreamy night out got rudely interrupted. This woman decided that would be the perfect time to die. I can't remember her name, it was something Cantina? I saw Grim come to take her, than Pam suddenly grabbed Kelvin and walked away in a hurry. I wonder what's on her mind? 
 
Betty is just about done upgrading all the food replicators! 
 
Next time is the happiest day of my baby's life. The wedding! 
 
Esther's words: 
As a woman, writing sappy things from a woman's point of view is easy. However from a guys? Very difficult so I'm basically leaving the sappy stuff for Pam haha.

Thanks loveSims. Yes, thankfully she didn't. she's had wishes to catch rodents and fish, but never to eat them. Yuck lol. Thanks, I can do sappy when writing from a womans point of view, but not a mans. So when Pam catches everyone up on her life, the sappiness will be in there lol.
 
One of my gnomes died. This is Fishy. He will be missed by all the other elders, kids, babies and vampires.

Betty also upgraded the nectar makers!

Pam decided that today was going to be her wedding day! So she called Kelvin over. He literally ran onto the lot! I thought that was so cute!!

We quickly added him to our family. He had never met me or Laurel before, and when he saw us he stopped and stared. I took him aside and asked what was wrong. He said "I love Pam so much, but I don't think I'm the right man for her!" I asked why. He said "You, your wife and Pam are green. The perfect man for Pam would be a green one." I laughed and told him I couldn't agree more! He hung his head and started for the gate. I yelled at him and he stoped and looked at me. I told him there was a way to turn himself green, if he was willing. The look of pure relief on his face was comical. He said "Wyatt, Mr. Halliwell sir, I love Pam so much, there is nothing in this world I wouldn't do for her." I asked casually if he knew anything about the family, just feeling out if he knew the secret. He said "Yes, I know. While Pam and I were out, she told me when Mrs. Cantina died. She told me everything and I am so in love with her, I don't care. We're still YA's so we have a lifetime together." I'm satisfied he's the right guy. So I let him know how he could turn green, so here is the new Kelvin!

Pam got rid of her single bed and got a double bed. Here's her new room.

You know how when you've got so much going on at once, you sometimes overlook something? Well embarrassingly enough, all of us forgot to change into our formal clothes, which means Pam got married in her shorts and sweater. I didn't even notice until they were under the arch lol.

He said some romantic, sweet things as he slid the ring on her finger, I had so many tears in my eyes I didn't catch everything he said, but I'm sure she did.

As Pam slid the ring on his finger, I was overcome and just started bawling. My baby is no longer a baby. She's a grown, married woman.

This next shot says it all. All of us were crying.

When there lips touched for the first time as a married couple, I swore I saw fireworks. Laurel said it was just hearts but I think it was more than that.

Their cake-cutting went a little smoother than mine and Laurel's.  

As we all sat down to eat, the seating arrangement was off but it's all good. First we have Laurel and I sitting and eating.

Then we have Pam and Jon. If you look closely, you can see Precious hiding under the couch. Not sure why she did that, but whatever!

And lastly, we have Betty and Kelvin. Betty took so long in choosing her slice, Kelvin was done by the time she sat down lol.

Than we moved to the dance floor. My wife is extremely flexible!!

Here is what was left of there wedding cake.

They went to their room for a little while. I heard Pam holler "Get out of here!!" I thought first fight already?? But no, it was just Penny, who followed and was watching. Very very creepy.

I'm happy to report, chimes rang out so my granddaughter is on the way. Also, here is Pam and Kelvin's first dance.

Thanks loveSims! Yes he does and yes it was!! Me neither actually! I haven't played since I got them married and pregnant so I can't wait either! I'm getting ready to play though so shouldn't be too long of a wait!
 
I have now planted 100% of all the plants! I'm so happy about this!

Precious has caught alot of different things. Here is a picture of a few of them.

I went to the consignment store. You know how when Penny and Pam were children and teenagers, if Penny was in Pam's inventory, she would show up outside the fence? Well now that they are YA's, she doesn't. I was curious as to why and after I came home from the store and was putting things away, I might have found the reason! Very very funny!!

Here is a picture of Pam and Kelvin together. I am so happy for them and the happiness on their faces tell me I'm not the only one.

I gave 10 watermelons to Pam to eat. I want to make sure she has a girl!!

I told Pam to go to the dresser and choose some clothes that came with the EP Pets so I could see if any of them were maternity clothes. Unfortunately the ones she chose weren't. Apparently only clothes from Generations is? I am happy to announce, I reached level 10 in my career today!! The only thing left before I can eat Ambrosia and pass the reins over to Pam is aging up and getting my portrait painted.  

Jon painted Kelvin's portrait and I took his pic. They were put into his museum room which is his favorite color, blue.

Pam painted a picture of Decker which was put in Pam's museum. I really don't see the need right now to add a room for each of the pets, I might later on but only if they really need it.

Kelvin started sculpting. He also went down to City Hall and became self-employed!


Betty has upgraded everything we needed her to for now, so she decided to learn cooking now. Pam found out a little bit ago that she is pregnant!

She went right downstairs to tell Kelvin. The odd thing is, even though I told her she's having my granddaughter, and she ate 10 watermelons to guarantee that, she still had the wish for a boy. I'm so sorry baby girl, but that's not happening. I had to make her cancel it. Kelvin on the other hand wants a girl, so I accepted that wish!!

After she told him that, they decided to go back to the place where they fell in love. They went and watched a movie, than watched the stars again.

Than they came home and ended the date. I heard her telling him how happy she was and it made me smile. Knowing my baby is happy is the best thing for a father to feel.

You guys have seen close-ups of Precious, so I figured it's time for a close up of Decker.

Hmm maybe that wasn't a good idea lol. Well, that's it for this time. Enjoy!
 
Esther's words:
I was out of town over the weekend so I haven't gotten the new graphics card yet. He texted me today though and told me he had it so hopefully tomorrow all my pets will look normal!!

Thanks loveSims! Yes I do. Sometimes I forget about them for a couple days. Hopefully they don't die, but even if they did she catches so many, now I'm selling instead of keeping. Yes, nooboos are awesome!! Two awesome things happened tonight when I was playing. Not sure which I'm going to post first, but I will let you know Pam is a mommy and Wyatt is now Immortal!  ;D I can't wait for him to install it!!
