Can Montey Brush his teeth?

Here's Montey trying to figure out how to use his new tooth brush that we got at mom's dentist appt, for her broke tooth. Good news for Tanya NO cavities, and NO rush to have to get her broken crown fixed. Which is a good thing, seeing that we currently have NO insurance....gulp!

Montey hard at work trying to use this new teether toy...........


Wrong way turn it around.......


So Close.....


Yeah he got IT!

St Patrick's Day with the Mathison's

We had a Great Time, here on St Patty's Week.
The kids threw a St Patrick's Day party with lots of friends. Many pictures were taken, but I do not have permission from the other families to post them, so I will not be able to at this time. Crafts were made, games were played, and lots of great food was eaten!
For school we did a Unit Study on St Patrick's Day. I posted a poll to see if you know or don't know the REAL reason for this Holiday....I am just very interested to know, cuz I didn't until now. After you Vote, look to see if your answer is right. Go to mathisonfamilyfun.blogspot or click on our Homeschool link to read more about what the REAL meaning of the holiday is about.

Happy Service St Patrick's Day to you all...............

Does Montey like the Snow?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm............... His face says it ALL!
NO!!! He does NOT, would be the answer! These were taken at the beginning of this month. This being his very 1st time out in the snow. He is just like his Mommy, not a big snow fan lover. Funny how most of the pics we got were of him crying. =)

Sour Faces Test Run...............

Our Never Ending Snow Adventures!

The Snow just keeps dumping here, we are hoping that spring is just around the corner! That darn Phil, these 4 more weeks of winter are just killing me. Beware we might not have a Phil the groundhog next year if I get to him..................grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Mister Caleb, loves anything that happens to be outdoors, no matter the type of weather. He may be frozen as ice, but that will NEVER stop him.

Liahona our little snow queen... she loves, loves the snow. Oh did I mention that she LOVES the snow!!

Tamara shivering away, where the heck is her mom? Poor little girl needs her gloves!! This little one does NOT like being out in the snow for too long. She must get that from her mother, the party pooper!

We are hoping that this is the LAST snowfall here in the MidWest! I don't know about anyone else, but BOY am I READY for the SPRING!!! I am getting TERRIBLE cabin fever! And I'm slowly, going CRAZY!

....And MORE Teeth Missing!!

Caleb with MORE teeth GONE!

Our Tooth-less Grin Kids!
So After Caleb lost 2 teeth, and Liahona lost her 2 front teeth I posted how I hoped that I wouldn't loose any teeth, right? Well even though I have had nightmares about loosing all of my teeth, I yet managed to break one of mine in the back. Of which I have done before, doing the same thing.......eating those dang valentine candy heart! Those are killer candies BEWARE! Then after my tooth drama, Caleb lost 2 more teeth, his last front tooth and another top one..........

This has been the Month of Missing and (broken) teeth for us, Good Heavens!

(Sorry, I couldn't narrow it down to four, my bad.)

Ok, so this worked out completely perfect!!! This was our Valentine's Party back in the year 2005. Liahona was 4, Tamara was 18months, and Caleb was 5. Wow! That doesn't seem too long ago, but my kids look so different, they grow so fast. (ok, yeah now I am crying....of course i would...sheesh! )

More and More Teeth GONE...........

Now you see them.............

Now you Don't.................

Liahona lost her two front teeth within 1 week of each other. Caleb lost his 6th tooth in between Liahona's 2 teeth. I hope my don't fall out next? We have for sure been keeping the Tooth Fairy in business. With this crazy economy we are just helping her out.

Winter/Spring Classes

Tamara is taking her 1st Ballet/Jazz class each Monday at our local Y. We are benefiting from us being poor I suppose, because we are getting a discounted membership. As of which, we have been enjoying our PE time there when everyone else is as school and work. We pretty much get the pool all to ourselves on most days, there is definitely benefits to Homeschooling as well!

Tamara in her class, she is wearing the bright blue tu-tu, parents are NOT allowed to stay, in which we both were pretty bummed. But thankfully she did just fine anyhow.

Tamara showing off her moves from just the first day!

On the same Monday evenings at the Y, Liahona and Caleb are attempting swim lessons again. They have gone from the WORST in the class last year, to the BEST this year. We are hoping that they will finally pass Eel Class, and go to the real class they are suppose to be in. Wish them luck! =)

Just Monkeying Around

After Christmas sometime, we had another Family Outing to the Famous Omaha Zoo. It really is the best Zoo that we have ever been too. We are bummed that our year membership is ending this March, and we still have so much left to see. Hopefully the Spring weather comes soon, so we can finish viewing everything.
