Life after the Arlen/AJ/Kevin fiasco was pretty tame....which was a change for us. Kasha gave birth to a beautiful baby girl they named Christa.....ok so that made me feel on top of the world! My granddaughter was named after me! And Craig turned out to be a pretty ok guy after all.



They threw Christa a birthday party and invited all of the family over to celebrate.....Kasha was now manager of Picture This! and Craig was a high school teacher....they were really doing pretty well and while it was not the life I would have picked out for her, it wasn't my life to live...



And Christa was such a beautiful little child....she was really sweet and Kasha doted on her all the time....Craig was proud of both of his ladies....



Rochella Jalise and her husband Donte were also settling into their live very well.....RJ wanted to put off having kids until she got her store to as high a rank as she could so that she could begin work on franchising out....Gabriella Elise was getting nervous about her engagement to Kyle....anytime she brought up wedding plans he would change the subject....we were all a bit concerned about that....



Fallon was also getting older and Aiden and Kelly threw her a party.....They were excited to see her growing so fast and were already making plans to have another baby soon....hopefully a boy!



Aiden had also come to terms with Kasha's marriage to Craig and he and Craig had become friends.....they often took trips up to the lake to get some fishing in and had an understanding with one another.....



Fallon grew into a cute little girl and was excited to start school....She was very spunky and very creative and was just a wonderful little girl.....



Me and Anna decided to throw an anniversary party and invite everyone over.....This is when we found out that Kelly and Aiden were already expecting a little bundle.....Anna was so excited and couldn't wait to meet her new grandchild!



Oh how I loved this woman! She was just a great person......little did we know that our good time would soon the spoiled.....



Now you may not recognize this guy, but its Kevin Siew.....You see after he went to Ivy's place to tell her about AJ and Arlen, he and Ivy got into a fight and she kicked him out....well he wasn't very popular so he ended up sleeping in his car, eventually losing his job, and was wondering around Pleasantview looking for his life! He sees Arlen and runs up and tries to reconnect with her, but Arlen is very much over Kevin.....



AJ comes out to see what all the commotion is about and finds Kevin heatedly arguing with Arlen......Well another fights begins between the two but this time......



AJ is the winner! Seems losing everything he had makes a man a bit weak! We kindly asked Kevin to get off our property and go and find some help! Maybe if he cleaned himself up, Ivy would let him at least STAY with her for a little while....



On a happier note, Rochella Jalise's husband, Donte, had a very promising career in architecture and was constantly drafting new plans. RJ was very proud of him!



Kyler Dewayne had met a nice girl named Lisa Kwa and was getting to know her.....when we asked how serious it was, he reminded us he was only a sophmore and at the time was merely enjoying the company of a beautiful woman.....



Angela decided to open up a flower shop while she finished getting her degree.....she had been working on a flower bench since her teen years and really enjoyed making flower arrangements....she opened it in Bluewater Village and named it Flowers By Angela.....



Anna and I decided that our 3 bedroom apartment was a little too big for just the two of us, so we bought this small one bedroom house in LaQuest Beach.....I even tried my hand at gardening and found that I really liked it!



And Anna loved it! It was a place that we could invite the grandchildren over to and let them run around freely in the yard......or swing them around in it like Anna was doing Fallon here! Things were going pretty well.....but AJ and Arlen....well I guess the peace can't last too long huh?
