Veronica and I are having the time of our lives. We both love our jobs and our daughters are the best in the world. Yes I know all mom's say that but its the truth...

Feeding time is the best time for me to bond with them.  They are getting older and they are so ready to get up and move about.  I worry because mom says that once they start walking then the house is all theirs.

Veronica makes it home in time to help out and spend time with the girls.  We have not gone out in so long that we are starting to feel claustrophobic. So now we are planning on dating while we can get willing baby sitters.

My mom and cousin Jacquelyn with her wife Opal came by to visit us and the girls.  Its great to see Jacquelyn. Its been a long time since I have seen her.  It looks like they love living in Colorado Springs but they have not given up on the possibility of moving back to Viramontes yet.

As soon as they left Veronica and I were on the mission to get some workout time.  The girls were in bed and we use this time to make sure to workout. We loved that we had the chance to go out on dates but man do you gain weight eating out a lot.

Before you know it  the girls were 2 years old.  Here is Desiree.  She is so funny.  I love that she still wants to be with mommy all the time.

Here is Eunice. Now she is ready to tear this house apart.  Veronica says that we should put our good furniture in storage while we still can..lol. I myself think the girls will be fine.

Now our work outs are less because the girls require more time with us.  I love being with them rather than getting sweaty and having Veronica tell me that I need to push myself more. Yes this is the life.

Veronica was so excited when she found out that she was promoted last time. She has more responsibility but she is happy at her job. 

I too am happy with my job and being a mommy to my beautiful girls.  Hopefully we can plan a vacation sooner rather than later.

Payton and I have finally settled in a routine for our marriage.  Sure many would say that we are bored or boring but in reality we just love sitting back and enjoying the moments.

My older children hardly ever come over any more.  I know that I share custody with Marcos but in truth they love being with him more than me.  It was hard for me to accept first but its the truth and now that they are older I am just happy they come over when they can.

Pearla tries to bond with Xochil the best she can when she comes over.  Xochil loves having an older sister.

We always try to have one last dinner or breakfast together before the kids go back to their dads.  It pains me that they prefer to stay there than here.  I hope they know that I do love all of them equally.

Shaila Barillas-Fairchild-Ch9- Our love grows.

Shaila (35) her husband Weldon (37)
Narrated by : Weldon
Last update/ next update

Shaila is so nervous about being a mom.  She is definitely in her nesting phase.  She wants everything in this apartment to be spotless for when the baby comes.

I try to appease her by making sure to go above and beyond cleaning the apartment.

Its hard but I make her sleep in more days than she is used to.  Now that she is officially on maternity leave she can sleep in and get up to do more things like bug me to clean.

Jewel our niece (Carson's daughter) has been coming around a lot to spend time with Shaila.  It gives me comfort knowing that someone else is there while I am out working.

Shaila and her sisters planned a small baby shower for the baby.  Shaila does not like being the center of attention so she just wanted a lunch.  I stayed away so that they could have their privacy and do all the girl things.

By the time I came home almost everyone was gone.  Lizandra decided to stick around and we all started discussing how the baby would affect our lives.  At this time I had already decided to go for my master's degree.  Shaila never wanted to pursue  a master's degree after college.

Everyone that has children told us to try to go out as much as we can now.  Shaila and I decided to have some fun and played some poker.  It was good to get out but now it takes her longer to get ready and gets tired if we walk to much.  She is due any day now and she can't wait to see her baby. 

Everything is ready in the baby's room.  We managed to get our computer things and poker table out of our study.  Now finally Shaila is happy with how the room turned out.

Finally Shaila told me that it was time.  I just got home to share my news that I was offered a position as a local science teacher.  I wondered why she wasn't that excited then it dawned on me that she was in labor.  We rushed to the hospital.

Everything turned out fine. To our surprise Shaila gave me not one but three beautiful children that day.  I expected this being that Shaila is a Quad herself but she insisted that it was rare.  Now we are proud parents of triplets.

Met Chrissy Fairchild

Shawon Weldon

And Sultana.
Yep that's three!
Author's note:
-three babies!! I couldnt believe it.  I sometimes want to change the baby odd but not all my sims have triplets.
-Weldon did roll the want for higher education.  For me the roll of learn couple's counseling after they completed their college education signifies Master's degree.  It cost him $20,000 and that wiped out a lot of their savings.

Dylan Barillas- ch 9- Be happy with what you have.

Dylan (35) his husband Leo (66)
Their children: Salma and Harold (13)
Last update/next update

Narrated by Dylan

Leo and I are still struggling with the prospect of having more kids.  Now our kids are 13 and with each slipping year I think we are not going to have more.  Leo wants me to be OK with our 2 but I did want at least one more child.

I guess I miss having to do things with my kids. Now that they are teens they are very independent.  They still hang out with me but not like when they were kids.  Because of this I too have started doing other activities.  I have entered drawings here and there and guess what? I won a little extra money. 

I decided to invite all of my family over for a impromptu family dinner.  The kids always like coming to my house since we have an indoor bowling alley.  I just love spending time with my brothers and sisters.  We use this time to catch up on our busy lives.

Its great that the older kids are really making an effort to reach out to our younger siblings. Therefore Laura, Lizandra and others came over to hang out.

Alfred and I managed to catch up on our family gossip.  I think he too wants another baby but Merill is still on the fence. Who wouldn't be since Lestat is such a great baby.  I think they might settle for one but we will see.

Jacquelyn also came with her wife Opal.  She brought my niece but she was busy bowling upstairs to sit down and be "bored" by us adults.

Audrina came by and she was telling me how her sewing business is really picking up.  I think I might talk to Leo and maybe we can invest in her company while helping her grow even more.

After dinner we adults decided to go upstairs and show the kids how bowling is really played.  I can see why the kids are so competitive.  We adults were keeping scores as well.  It was so much fun having the family over!

Leo came home and he normally likes to read his paper and relax.  Boy was he surprised to be greeted by my whole family.  He just smiled and told me that he loved seeing me this happy.  It was then that I decided that we would not pursue more children.  I think Leo is right. We should be grateful for what we have.

Author's Note:
Its been a long time but I have had these updates queued and forgot to release them. I hope I can get back on track with these stories! Sorry for the delay.
-Dylan had the ROS of winning a small prize money.  It was not that much which really didnt matter since Leo is the only Millionaire in Viramontes.  I don't see them struggling for money any time soon.
- Dylan has the want baby which I think is the adoption in his wants but Leo does not roll one.  Leo is getting older and this might be why he is not rolling the adoption want.
