SimNaNo Entry #12

We are back with yet another update. We are getting very close to the end, only 6 updates left for the month! Can you believe we are already this far through July? It’s gone crazy fast and I’m looking forward to being able to play with the newest expansion soon and get back to my other challenges. Especially the DITFT where we are going to use a lot of those new farming things from the new pack. Before that, however, we have some more Latte’s to get to, so let’s go.

We start with Mio taking Haquim to the playground so he can play on the jungle gym and work to complete his first milestone for his aspiration. I love the faces they pull while playing pirates. Haquim especially is quite cute, and Mio seems to be having fun. It’s a good time for both of them.

There were also a LOT of kids at the park that evening. It was like every kid from the neighborhood came to this particular park to play that evening. It was fun seeing this many kids here. I did up the amount of sims that are able to be on a lot at a time in MCCC so that might be part of it.

Jacque!! What are you doing little man??

Mio: What am I going to do with this kid?

Oh I don’t know, maybe you should talk to him.

Mio: Jacque, sweetie, can you please stop pouring chocolate sauce on the floor? Where did you even get chocolate sauce??!!

Jacque: Mama, art!

Well, we know who will be our mess maker, or one of them this generation. Haquim never really made messes. There always has to be at least one, and we’ll see if there are more.

We got a couple of family updates again. Apparently, both Youssef and Xander share similar birthdays. Xander is Oxkar’s youngest son and Youssef is one of the kids that came from us not remembering to go flag extended family, in this case, Yenifer, who was Yuri’s daughter.

I’m not sure I remember exactly why I took this picture. Mio is clearly busy working on laundry, a never-ending task in this busy household, and Haquim came down and was talking with Hjordis. She is almost through her grudge against him, which makes me happy. She is also, getting closer to being done with her third pregnancy.

Once they finish having whatever conversation they were having both sat in the kitchenette and made these faces. You gotta love sims and their pouty faces. Both Hjorids and Haquim can be very pouty. I think Hjordis was because of the pregnancy, but no idea for Haquim.

Haquim then went upstairs and spent some time with his grandma. Grandma Halix helped him out with his homework, or maybe just made sure he did it. Haquim is a good kid, and Halix is a great grandma though. I’m not sure why Haquim didn’t sit down on one of the little pillow chairs to do his homework, but you know, sims do what they do.

Jacque continues to work on his skill, and Mio continues to show off what a good mom she actually is. I can’t remember where Jacque is up to right now on his skills, but I don’t think he will have any trouble getting his skills in and fully leveled up.

Haquim needs to practice his typing so he gets started doing that, once I got the computer replaced since someone in the family broke it. I’m used to my sims only practicing for a little bit at a time, but Haquim got through all of his hours in one sitting. He is already pretty high up in his motor skill, and I don’t think he should have any trouble completing his aspiration.

Jacque spends some time with his grandma Halix. First, they eat together for a bit, and then Halix reads him a story. I hope that Halix stays around for a lot longer. Mio and Hjordis can use the help as we get more and more kids, and she’s just so good with them.

Speaking of Hjordis, she came home with a promotion! She is doing really well, thanks to the degree she worked so hard to get. Hjordis is continuing to write the Lisa series of children’s books and they are still selling great. Not that the family has any need for money. I think I forgot to go to the awards ceremony though, of course.

There is absolutely no reason for this picture other than to show off how cute Jacque is. He is just an adorable little boy, and him playing with a toy is just so cute. I apparently captured a little bit of his “imagination” in the tail of a plane going through the wall a bit there.

That evening Mio reads little Jacque to sleep for the night. He had a busy day between hanging out with grandma and working on his skills. Mio really is such a great mom, and I am so happy she became a part of this family.

While Haquim was playing on the monkey bars outside (you can just see him in the lower right corner) he completes a milestone for his aspiration. Yet again I say, I don’t think there is going to be any issue with getting him through this aspiration. The Rambunctious Scamp is one of the easier ones to get through in my opinion.

We have a couple of family updates. Ijtiba is finally getting married. Lyla looks like quite a cutie, so way to go Ijtiba. Hopefully that means we will have some more Latte cousins soon. Then Ivan, who is Nick’s youngest boy, has grown into an elder.

We have some special visitors out tonight. All 4 generations of our Latte family are represented here. Ukupanipo is here for our founding generation, Zophi, his daughter, is here for generation two (or one if you are someone who sees the founders as gen 0), Halix, Zophi’s daughter, for generation 3 and finally our newest spouse, Mio for this current generation.

These two crack me, up, and the face on Hjordis as she dances away is too good. I’m not sure what moves she is pulling exactly, but it’s great fun to watch her. Mio is also enjoying her more conservative dancing.

Our dear little boys, Jacque and Haquim are busy playing away at the doll house. I love all the faces everyone in this family pulls. It’s not every member of the family but Hjordis, Jacque, and especially Halix pull some great ones.

We got a fun set of family updates this time! It’s been a while since we’ve gotten much beyond birthday reports from the updates, but this time we get quite a bit. We start with Ijtiba and his wife announcing a pregnancy. A new Latte is on the way. Ixael, in his later years, has decided to get himself a wife. She looks like a cutie. Then Amarja has also gotten married, and I apparently missed that she is also pregnant again with her new husband. So lots of marriages, and some more Latte’s are on the way.

Hjordis spends some time talking with Haquim. She still has a bit of a grudge against her son, but it’s a lot less and should be gone soon. Hjordis really is a good mom and loves her kids, even with that random sentiment.

Easton is out again, but this time he and Halix just chat away into the night some. You know I love these two, and it is nice to have ghosts be a thing so we can still see loved ones who have passed.

This picture is to let us know that the newest baby is on the way! Little Jacque will be a big brother soon. I am ready to see what this current baby will be. Also a little interested in what name I’m going to have to come up with here.

We are back to having ghosts in the hospital again, and this time it’s the doctor. Hjordis face does not look like she is enjoying this birth. Mio did come down again to watch the birth from the small window in the door. You can barely see her through the window back there.

We have a new little girl Latte. Everyone meet Orquidea, which has the meaning of Orchid apparently. It’s about the only name I could find for a little girl that starts with an O and contains a q and u. Sadly, that’s the only letters that are added, but still, I think it’s a fun name. I’m excited to see what she is like when she grows up. That will have to wait, though, because we are going to wrap up this update. Before that, though, I’ll give you a closer look at the newest members.

First up is Amarja’s new husband, his name is Zion Shizmizu. Their kids will probably be very cute. Next it’s Ijtiba’s new wife, Lyla Vaughn. We know she is pregnant now, so we will see what their kids look like soon enough. Finally, we have the wife that Ixael married in his golden years, this is Michelle Perry. I think it will be fun to see what happens with all of them now, and with Ixael end up with a kid before the end? We’ll have to see. For now, thanks for joining me for this update, and I hope to see you next time!
