Silver River Ranch, Generation 1

This is the story of Nick and Silver Day who recently moved to Riverview and built a beautiful ranch house on Farmer Valley Road with the dream of having horses someday and what is a farm without some cats and a dog. Nick is an adventurer at heart and wants to explore six tombs in each country of China, Egypt and France before his life is over and have a family to cherish. His wife, Silver wants to be a world renown surgeon as she is a nurturer at heart wants to help people stay healthy. Nick has also joined the local military and takes pride in serving his
fellow citizens.


Nick is very much a hopeless romantic and loves to skinny dip in the hot tub when no one is looking. Those days are over for awhile now as Nick and Silver have welcomed a bouncing baby boy, Oliver, into the world. Silver has gained
her first celebrity star on her own by befriending her boss at the hospital. Nick might need some help in that department but is content to live his life quietly. He has also made friends with a couple of his co-workers. Both he and Silver have received promotions in their jobs already. Nick has learned Martial Arts help him in his career.

Romance is really in the air in this house as Nick and Silver have been on two special dates together. The second ended in the arrival of Oliver into this world after and evening of going to the movies and eating dinner at the Bistro. They also like to spend time in the hot tub together after a long day at work. Nick is turning out to be the cook in the house and likes to prepare special meals for his family.   


Baby Oliver was sent a special toy when he was born and is really enjoying playing with it now that he is a toddler.  He named his special doll, Riley and loves her to pieces but will Oliver eventually put her aside as he grows up and makes real friends?  We will have to wait and see.

Shortly after Oliver's birth things began to heat up  in their story. The Day family have settled in nicely to Riverview and have met and made many new friends. Nick had been promoted to Wingman in the military and Silver is now Gene Therapist at the hospital. Oliver is now in school and is already a straight A student.

Shortly after getting settled into their careers, Nick and Silver hosted a party for their new friends. Everyone had a great time and said that the party was epic. Both Nick and Silver have gained two celebrity stars and the paparazzi have being busy in trying to destroy their reputation with false accusations. First, Nick was accused of cheating on his wife with another local. This was found out just as he and Silver were going to try for another baby. Nick quickly apologized and dispelled the rumor but understandably Silver was still angry with him for 24 hours. Three days after that Silver was rumored to have gotten in a fight so now she has the bag over her head for three days. Despite the rumors, they went out on a date together and left toddler Oliver with a babysitter. They went to a movie and then to dinner but the date got cut short when Silver was called to the hospital for an emergency.


Oliver was sent a special doll when he was born and when he reached his toddler years he spent all of his playing time with his doll. He named her (the doll) Riley and loves to sing and play with her. Now that Oliver is in school he takes her everywhere. Much to his joy and surprise, he put Riley on the ground one day after school and she came alive and he had a lot of fun playing tag with her.

Nick has become best friends with his co-workers and one day had one of them Lee Chung (a vampire) over one day for a visit. They played hopscotch together and Lee kept losing and when Nick and Silver went to bed, he stuck around and played until he got it right and ended up napping on the outdoor loveseat on the patio and then also napped on the living room couch. Nick thought he was going to have to invite him to move in as Lee stuck around all the next day, playing on the water slide and with other big toys in the house. Lee left the following morning when it was time to go to work. 


Things are getting exciting in this household. Nick and Silver have adopted an orphaned baby girl, whom they named Vicki. She is dark haired like her parents and big brother and was sent a special doll from a family cousin. Vicki is now a toddler and has taken to playing with her doll (Victor) like Oliver took to playing with his at that age. We'll see if this relationship is maintained.

Silver took a trip to Egypt to get some scarab beetles for her employer. While there, she help some locals by doing assignments for the local government officials. For one of the jobs, Silver got to go into the Tomb of the Burning Sands for the flame fruit that was requested and was able to bring one home to her family. Nick is looking to plant it once he has enough gardening skills.

The big story is about Oliver and his wonderful prom night. Oliver had a wonderful birthday party for his teen birthday and had the joy of seeing his imaginary friend, Riley grow up, too. Although he enjoys chatting with Riley in his spare time, he preferring to stay within the real world by helping out with the care of his baby sister and chores around the house. He also has developed friendships with high school students Dedric Osorio and Olga Mulligan.

Now back to the prom, Oliver has had a crush on Olga and he impressed her by doing the chicken dance. As the night wore on, Oliver and Olga became romantically involved so he has decided to give Riley to his new brother or sister to play with as Silver is expecting. The next day, Oliver asked Olga out on a date and they went swimming and out to dinner. They didn't do much swimming, though as they were too busy falling in love and she agreed to go steady with him. (Yes, I finally got those options this time. Let's keep our fingers crossed for him to be able to propose marriage when they graduate) I did take a few pictures and will post them as soon as they are uploaded.

Nick is currently at a party hosted by one of his friends, while Silver is holding down the fort at home. They have recently put in a swimming pool in their backyard as well as a trampoline, see-saw, swing set, and a rocking airplane for the kids to play with. There's still room for the barn but that's a few generations away. 


Silver just gave birth to two beautiful baby twin girls, Sylvia and Nicola. Their lives will be doubly busy now but with Nick, Silver and Oliver around I'm sure the new additions to the family will be spoiled rotten.   Nick loves having children around and wants to have another one once the twins are a little older.  So, he has changed his lifetime wish to raising five children to healthy, happy, and family orientated teenagers with lots of potential for their lives.  


Before I know it I'll have to choose a legacy for my family when Nick and Silver have reached their lifetime goals or have passed on.  In my previous stories I have not broken up my families as I never wanted to kick anyone out but I think I'll start doing that as sometimes large families are hard to control.  For now, we shall see what happens between now and then.
