Diamonds are missing




"Diamonds are Missing! Come help Inspector Mason capture the thief and recover the diamonds."
"The thief was last seen at 43 W. 400 S. (mason's house) We will be meeting there Saturday Feb 9 2007 for a briefing, then the investigation will begin. Study the picture below. It is the best picture we have. Se you there. "



Detectives (cousins) came from all around to help capture the thief. They each got a magnifying glass, and then fallowed the foot prints that were all around the house, picking up clues along the way. Then after winding around the house, the caught up to him. and got paid, with a piece of gum, for catching him. The didn't find the diamonds until later. On a bag was a thank you from the Agency(Julie) saying to keep looking and I bet you find where he hid the diamonds. Inside the bag was popcorn. They ate as they watched a pink Panther cartoon. So diamonds(ring pops) were being uncovered under the popcorn. Pretty sneaky.



The party was fun. The kids and parents all got a kick out of it. Thanks to all of those who help track down the thief.

Football Fans

It's the last Game of the season. And Julie is way excited. The kids are sick of all of the hype. Kade rolls his eyes when she starts in on "It's a Superbowl Party!" song. He may not think it is so great now, but we know that its going to be a big deal to him when he's a teenager. He does like his mom though.
It's Game day. The house is clean. Decorations up. Food cooking. Pre-game show on. Just before the guests arrive the "tough marks" must be painted on. Ben started laughing when he saw Julie's face. He said "I am not surprised."

When Porter saw Julie he asked, "mom? Why do you have black under your eyes?" She explained they are "tough marks." He of course then wanted some. But the stipulation was is you were to flex to see if you deserved them. And of course they all did. It was a hit. Even neighborhood kids, Kristy, Sheen and Grandma came to get tough marks. Not a surprise though, only the women got the tough marks. Its kind of gave away who the real football fans are.

It was a great game. The Colts won, Yeah. And it was fun to have everyone over to share the excitement.

Next excitement will be planing Mason's party, then Valentines.
