Oliver :)

I'm on a roll with Oliver's scrapbook. I need some help from Stewart though. He sent my mum some photos and she bluetoothed them to me, but in the meantime, I have started scrapbooking some photos I took on Saturday:

Yum

and here's 2 photos from Saturday, minus a scrapbook page lol. It was just me, dad, Stewart, Claire and Oliver at nan's house, so it was quite nice and relaxed with lots of Oliver time :)

Firstly to start off this post, here's a shot of Oliver I got doing his cute pouty lip thing. It was taken in low light settings with my kit lens, so I'm glad how it turned out - I imagined it would have been much more blurry!

And now for the main event: Sims 3.  Now since the patch has been released it's been a  MUCH better gaming experience. For me, I play on my laptop as it's just easier for me and it allows my beloved Fiance to play on World of Warcraft on the main computer, and my laptop failed on CPU speed to be able to play it but I can play it fine :)

I started with Jamie Hart as I did in Sims 2 and immediately married him off to the first local who he met called Blair
Jamie Hart

They had two kids Avery Grace and Dylan and once Avery Grace was a young adult I moved her out to test the Story Progression :D She had a boyfriend and two kids, although the father of the children is questionable LOL! It doesn't show in the family tree mode.
I continued on with Dylan who met Bella (yes, THE Bella!) at the gym and he married her, only to find out that she already had a little boy called Cary. Bella and Dylan had Connor together and as Cary was already around they didn't have anymore kids. As Connor grew older I had a very funny time trying to get him hooked up with someone! He started off with a girl called Rayne who completely blew off all of his advances, so he started dating a girl called Lacy... Only she never came to see him - and in fact everytime he rang her to come over she would tell him to call back in so many hours or try again the next day. Now, I got annoyed so the last time she blew him off and told him to call back the next day I made Connor go to her house where she was watching TV. He proposed to her and she refused... so he went to see Rayne where she absolutely adored him! (Go figure...) So it was back to Lacy's house where he broke up with her and things got VERY ugly... Seriously she was yelling and screaming at him to get out so he obliged!

Now at Rayne's house there were a bunch of guys there which I assumed were her brothers... and boy was I wrong! Once married, only then did I realise that those 3 men were in fact her sons amd she was just days away from becoming an elder. Oops. So it was a race to get my heir! Then Aurora was born :) She's currently a teen and the only 2 people left in the household are Connor and Aurora as Dylan died and just 2 days later Rayne died. Dylan did really well though, he got his lifetime wish and lots of aspiration points, so on the Hart section of the graveyard, Dylan stands proud above everyone else.

Taz the hoodie

I'm on Networked blogs on Facebook should anyone want to follow me :)  http://apps.facebook.com/blognetworks/blog/kirstys_journal/  and my photography one is there too: http://apps.facebook.com/blognetworks/blog/kirsty_base_photography/  and I need people to confirm that I'm the author so please do that too after my failed attempts to confirm it myself.

My current book

My book was seriously funny. And I thought things went terribly wrong on my camping holiday the other week, nothing campared to this, and Emma and her family are nothing but persistent! LOL, I loved this. And the ending seemed very fitting too ;)

Sandcastle

My "beach in a box" is seriously awesome. I had it on my desk at work and my boss destroyed my sandcastle - to be honest I think he just wanted to play with it and see what it was about, so squishing my sandcastle seemed the best way!

Sea Monkeys

Our sea monkeys are doing ok. Easiest pets ever.

Taz in his blue rain coat

Taz the hoodie

and isn't Taz the cutest hoodie you've ever seen lol! My parents took him camping last weekend but it was a bit wet so they bought him a rain coat complete with hood.

I will have to find something to blog about that's better than this.
