We are Alive just took an extended break

2011-03-10T10:28:00.000-08:00

I can't find my camera cable to download pictures so sorry no updated pics at this present time.
We are alive. We moved in October just down the street so not that far. We love where we are as of now.
Exciting news for us. Mike starts class on April 4th for a Captain position out of LaGuardia, NY. His class should be about 6-8 weeks and then he will be captain on reserve out of NY. (that will suck) but it is a step in the right direction. We are very excited.

The girls are growing like crazy and are keeping me busy.
Life is good. Hope everyone else is doing well also.

Summer 2010

2010-08-28T13:04:00.000-07:00

I am pretty behind on posting so I will just combine a few posts together. In July we had Sydney's bday( I can't believe she is 4 already), a few day trips for our vacation, camping, Bryce Canyon, Friends visits ( Tanya and Valerie) and so far in August we have been getting ready for Kindergarden and Preschool and Soccer.And Mike and I celebrated our 9th Anniversary. We have had a good summer and are excited for Brooke to start kindergarden and Sydney will be in Preschool twice a week so it will just be me and Kira for a couple of hours a week. I got to see Valerie Wood on her way to Seattle and it was so good to visit with her and the family. Thanks for making time for me and about a week later got to see Tanya Staples while she was in Salt Lake visiting family. She took me out for my bday and we ate and got pedicures. Thanks T !!! Mike actually had about 10 days off in July so we took the girls camping for the first time, went to Bryce Canyon , Jump on It, Toy Story 3, *the girls first movie* and lots of little things. It was nice and relaxing.

Bryce Canyon

2010-07-30T18:53:00.000-07:00

We went last week to Bryce Canyon. It is so beautiful. We camped and hiked and loved the scenery. Camping wasn't as fun with Kira, I think next year will be better when she is just a bit older but the other two girls had a blast. This was their first time camping and all. We enjoyed ourselves and it was nice and cool there so it was nice to get away from the heat.

kira 10 months

2010-07-30T18:47:00.000-07:00

I can hardly believe my little baby is already 10 months and into everything
Here are a few of the things she is doing now
-Walking since 8months 19days
-climbing stairs
-eating table food (she won't eat baby food anymore at all)
-still not a good sleeper (still up twice a night)
-dancing
-she is still in the 5-10 % of weight and height
-totally a mommy's girl all the way. I am the only one she wants some days which makes getting things done sometimes hard.
We love our little Kira she brings so much into our family.

No Lions, One Tiger and No bears

2010-06-08T19:19:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday we took the girls to the zoo as we do every year. And every year Mike says next year we really need to go to San Diego Zoo. The girls don't know any different so they have a blast except that their Polar Bears and Black Bears aren't there this year and that was the girls favorites but oh well we still had fun. We took a train ride, had dippin dots, and had a carnival ride. All in all a good day.

My first 5k

2010-06-08T19:09:00.000-07:00

well I did it. It may have been slow and up hill the first mile but I ran my first 5k in May. I know most people have been there done that, it's only 3.2 miles but I hadn't and so I was happy with myself. I have never ran in my life until I lived in North Dakota right before I got pregnant with Brooke then started having kids and after Sydney was born started again and was doing good averaging 4.5 a day 3 times a week and then got pregnant with kira and so lost all that so about 3 months ago really started to try again and it was hard this time getting back into running one because I can really only exercise when Mike is home and he is never home (ok he is home on the weekends) and I gained way more weight with Kira than expected so my big butt just didn't want to run but in May I signed up for a mini boot camp which was twice a week lost 10 inches in my body(way more to go so don't clap too hard) that month and was driven to do my first 5k. Now i am going to train for a 10 k at the end of summer. If I can do it anyone can. btw- the picture was taken at 6:50 in the morning so don't judge :)

Summer do's

2010-05-12T17:39:00.000-07:00

Brooke decided she wanted to cut her hair short so we took her and Mike was really worried about it but I think it is adorable (she would of went shorter but Mike said not too short) and sydney just got her's a little shorter also.

7 months

2010-05-12T17:32:00.000-07:00

This post is like 2 weeks late but I still can't believe Kira is 7 months old.
At 7 months
She weighs 15 pds (5%)
She is crawling everywhere
Pulling herself up on anything
She loves anything she can put in her mouth especially the little puffers for babies
She still doesn't sleep(maybe cause she is still so tiny) (she is still waking up about 3 times a night.
She likes to crawl under tables and chairs and then gets mad cause she's stuck.
She loves her sister Brooke
She hates squash and applesauce
She is just so much fun (except the nights) and we are so happy to have her in our family.

Easter

2010-04-06T19:17:00.000-07:00

We had a great Easter even with the snow which I could of done without but the girls had a blast. I just love holidays and even more now that I have children.

6 months already

2010-03-27T19:27:00.000-07:00

On the 24th Kira turned 6 months. Is it crazy to say the time has flown and felt like forever in the same sentence. maybe I'm the only one who understand what I mean(which is usually the case :)
We went to her 6 month checkup and she weighs 14.2 pounds which puts her in the 20% percentile and she is 25.5 inches long which is the 45%. But she is in the 80 % of her head size. (big head like daddy) She is small like Brooke was. She is moving around like crazy she is almost crawling not quite there but so close any day and she will she's that close. But she does move anywhere she wants to go when she gets fed up trying to crawl by being a little inch worm (picture that 80's dance move and there you go) We are so in love with this little girl she is funny, sleeping a little better not great but better than before, she loves to get in the middle of the girls toys and play, she is definitely a mommy's girl and Brooke can make her laugh like no one else.

Tooth Fairy.

2010-02-24T20:08:00.000-08:00

Brooke lost her first tooth today. That makes me sad in a way. I feel like she is too young to have already lost a tooth and now its hitting me she is getting too big. Two days ago she noticed that her tooth was loose and it was making her nervous so Michael explained about the tooth fairy and how she would come and visit the night you lost your tooth so that calmed her down and so today when it came out she told me that she was going to get money tonight. I hope the tooth fairy remembers her job tonight and doesn't forget. Look at that goofy smile now. I just love it... (I did tell her to smile where I could see her bottom teeth so that's not her everyday smile)

The Solution to sleep problems

2010-01-29T19:21:00.000-08:00

So Kira had her 4 month checkup today and the doctor said he heard a heart murmor which freaked me out but he seemed ok and said he would listen again at 6 months and it's somewhat common for little ones so I will trust him for now. She has gotten taller thank goodness at her 2 month cheekup she was in the 5th percentille and now is in the 47th and 30th in weight. So growing right along.
I have been having issues with her sleep so that was one of my main concerns with this appt. I was looking for answers. At this point with Brooke and Sydney we had them on schedules and sleeping in a crib and through the night. Kira not so much. Every night is different. So I told the doctor about how she loves to be swaddled but fights her way out and then gets mad and how she wants a pacifier to go to sleep but can't keep it in her mouth and then wakes up mad that it's not there so his solution get rid of both. He said her problem is that she can't soothe herself and needs to learn how and that is what the pacifier and swaddling aren't doing. So I am so scared to get rid of things that I know works temporary but am willing to try anything for some sleep. I am even putting her down early now(8pm) (she was going down at 10pm) and tonight trying these things so wish me luck or just pray for me not to go crazy doing so.

Can it be summer already.

2010-01-27T21:19:00.000-08:00

No new pictures. Been slacking. But wishing i could be sitting on this pier right now.

We haven't been up to very much lately. It really feels like winter. I hibernate in the winter and with a little baby I have really hunkered down. I'm starting to get cabin fever and ready for warmer weather.
Kira is 4 months now and still not sleeping great but with that sweet little smile of hers it doesn't matter. She is rolling over now, squealing, and loves watching her sisters play. Brooke and Sydney are in the helping stage I think the jar of earning tickets for a pizza party helps so they are always helping and then asking if that was nice and if they earned a ticket for their good deed. It's adorable. I am on a quest of trying to shed off my baby weight and it gets harder and harder with every kid and exercise is almost impossible unless Mike is home so 2x a week. Hopefully my goal will be in reach.
I hope everyone is having a great 2010 so far.

3 Months

2009-12-30T14:00:00.000-08:00

Kira turned 3 months on Christmas eve. I can't believe how time flies. I have a 5 year old, 3 year old and a 3 month old. Crazy...
Kira is not the best sleeper still we are hoping that turns around soon but there has been some improvement she sleeps from about 10:30 to 3 and then from about 4 to 7 (which this sleep is with me and is very restless to say the lest for both of us)
She is a big time cuddler and most of the time only wants mommy. Which makes getting anything done hard.
She is still taking about 4 naps a day.
She loves to smile when you talk to her and she will talk to you when you do this.
We are so in love with her and am so thankful for her good health now.

5 years ago

2009-12-15T14:38:00.000-08:00

December 11 2004 we were in grand forks, north dakota. Mike was in school for aviation at UND. We had amazing friends there, a great ward, lots of snow and ice especially that night. We went to the hospital at 9pm and at 3:28 that next morning on the 12th we had a beautiful little girl that we named Brooke Danna Constantine. We were so in love with this baby and still are. She is such a sweet and girly girl. Happy 5th Birthday Brooke.

2 months

2009-11-22T20:52:00.000-08:00

I can't believe Kira is 2 months already. She is such a wonderful addition to our family.
She is smiling some now, is such a cuddlier, hates her cradle and just wants to sleep with mommy, hates to be put down at all, but gives such cute looks and faces its hard to want to sometimes. She weighs 10 pds and is 20 inches long. She is a shorty. We love you Kira

Halloween

2009-11-03T09:39:00.000-08:00

Halloween was a little crazy this year. On thursday Kira was admitted to the hospital cause she was running a high fever and was dehydrated. Later to find out she had strep and a viral infection. And yes due to what most people have been told a baby under 1 can have strep. I was told otherwise when I got strep when she was 3 weeks. Anyway I had to stay with her in Pediatrics and luckily Mike was home to entertain the girls. I was worried about missing Halloween cause brooke and sydney were really excited this year about halloween but Kira got out of the hospital Sat morning so I got to see the girls in action. They loved trick or treating this year and Kira is doing much better on antibotics.

Kira's Blessing

2009-11-03T09:35:00.000-08:00

Kira was blessed on the 25th. We blessed her at home with family. We are so lucky to have this sweet little spirit in our lives.

One crazy month

2009-10-22T11:29:00.000-07:00

Kira is a month old today and in that month we have been very sleep deprived, I have had strep throat, allergic reaction to medication, breast infection, trips to the hospital everyday for a week to check jaudice levels, days and nights mixed up with kira (getting a little better on that one) and stomach bugs, and lots of loving on this little girl. We are so happy she is apart of our family and love her so much. She loves to be held and cuddled.

2009-10-06T20:03:00.001-07:00

We have been busy with getting adjusted to being a family of five now. Kira sleeps most of the day and not so much at night so we mainly me is tired at all times but wouldn't trade it for anything. She is so sweet. On Sunday we took a drive up Hobble Creek Canyon which is right in our back yard (5 min away) and it was so beautiful with all the fall leaves. I just love fall in Utah.

Kira Madison Constantine

2009-09-29T09:07:00.000-07:00

Kira is here and was born on 9/24/09 at 10:42 am. She weighed 6 lbs 13 oz and was 19.5 inches long. She had a rough go on things in the beginning but after a couple of days recovered and is home with us after spending all her time in the Special Care Unit until she got to go home Saturday night and now just being the cutest little newborn. It is definitely different with 3 now but we wouldn't have it any other way. More pictures on their way we didn't get to take hardly any in the hospital since she was taken away right after birth and hooked up to all the machines but we will make up for it in the next couple of weeks. The girls love Kira and always want to hold her or help feed her it's really cute.

Mike likes Kiera or Riley
I think I like Riley or Bailey
So we need your opinion.

My little soccer player

2009-08-23T19:26:00.000-07:00

Brooke started soccer on Saturday and I couldn't be a prouder mommy.I always wanted to be a soccer mom. I think it is absolutely adorable how excited she is and how cute and little she looks out on that field. She plays her first game on Wednesday and loves her practices and kicking the ball around in the back yard.

34 1/2 weeks

2009-08-23T19:23:00.000-07:00

This will definitely be the last pic I take or at least show to anyone. I am huge and still have 5 weeks to go but to the request of a few people here you go and now you know why I haven't posted a picture.

Way to go Sydney

2009-08-10T21:27:00.000-07:00

Well I think we are in the clear and Sydney is offically potty trained. We started on Wednesday and have gone three days with no accidents and no night time accidents so far either. I am so excited that I might get a few weeks without pull ups or diapers before the baby comes. She is so proud that she gets a potty party on Friday when daddy comes home with cup cakes, pizza and Nemo panties.

Our trip to Alabama

2009-07-25T18:34:00.001-07:00

We got the chance to go down to alabama for about 10 days we saw a blue angels show, my sisters wedding, the beach a couple of times and just relax. It was so hot though down there that I started missing utah. The girls loved the beach and at my sisters reception decided they wanted to be the life of the party and danced the Entire time non stop (sydney even broke out some break dancing moves) It was a great time.

Wedding Day

2009-07-25T18:28:00.000-07:00

My Baby sister got married on July 14th in Gulf shores, Alabama. We got to go down and be there and spend time with family and I even got to spend alot of time with my sisters before the wedding. It was kind of challenging being 7 1/2 months pregnant going down for a beach wedding (mentally wise-big, uncomfortable, hot) I am so glad I was able to be apart of her day.

Seattle

2009-06-29T18:35:00.000-07:00

This post is about two weeks late what can I say I am slacking now days. Two weeks ago I went to Seattle (just me can you believe it) for the weekend to visit my best friend Tanya. She took me to the Space Needle on a lunch date, Pikes Market, and waterfront. I had a blast and I got to witness my first breaking into a vehicle. Her car along with 2 others in the lot got broken into while we were at lunch. She is awesome and didn't let her stop from showing me around. Thanks Tanya for a first weekend away from my kids and getting to hang out with you. Seattle is so pretty.

Mesquite, Resevoir, and Airshow (what we've been up to) Picture overload.

2009-06-09T18:40:00.000-07:00

We have had a good summer so far. The girls are getting as busy as ever to keep up with and I'm getting huge and uncomfortable and only 24 weeks along.This little girl is getting too big and active. We took a day and half trip down to Mesquite to visit my dad when he was in town for a golf tournament and me and some friends went to this little resevoir in Spanish fork to let our kids go swimming. Brooke loves the water and Sydney has more fun playing in the sand. Last weekend we took the girls to the Thunderbirds Airshow at the Hill airforce base in Ogden. My girls love airplanes for some reason haven't figured that one out yet. :)Although we got there at 10:30 and didn't leave until around 6:30 so the girls were tired to say the least (see picture above while loud fighter jets were flying by) Wish I could sleep that deep. We have really enjoyed our mild weather here in Utah it isn't hot yet and have been just trying to stay entertained and busy. Hope everyone is having a great summer so far.

It's gonna be a Girl

2009-05-16T09:51:00.000-07:00

We went to our ultrasound yesterday and found out that we will be having another girl. 3 girls, Mike is so in trouble. Brooke and Sydney were excited though and both kept thinking of names and so far the best has been Sydney wants to call it "Pickle" or Brooke with "Noodle" there were alot of name in between but these were our favorites so far.

Catch up- Easter and the Zoo.

2009-05-04T18:03:00.000-07:00

I have been lazy I guess it has been almost a month since my last post. This pregnancy has made me tired and worthless lately. We haven't been up to much the last month. Mike has a descent schedule so we are just enjoying him being home and we have had some good weather so the girls have done alot of playing outside and at the park so far. Easter was nice and relaxing the girls really enjoyed dying eggs and we went to the zoo last week. It was a little cooler that day so the animals were very active which was nice and we had fun. Other than that nothing exciting. Here are a few pictures of the last month.

Photoshoot

2009-04-10T13:39:00.000-07:00

Here are a few pics from our photoshoot. I wanted a couple spring pictures of the girls. I love the first one I think its my favorite. Hope everyone has a Happy Easter.

Fish, Fish and More Fish

2009-04-05T16:28:00.000-07:00

We haven't been up to much but when Mike was home for a couple days we decided to take the girls up to the Aquarium in Sandy. Our girls love fish and we hadn't been up there since they moved from Salt Lake. It is alot better and bigger than it was when it was in Gateway but they still need to add more displays but the girls loved it and thats all that matters.

The new edition.

2009-03-26T10:45:00.001-07:00

Our newest edition to the family. Thats right I'm pregnant with our third. It came as quite a shock to us but we are excited for our new edition. My due date is 10/3/09. I am realizing every pregnancy is different I have been so tired and sick with this pregnancy which with Brooke and Sydney I got lucky and only was tired. The sickness is starting to pass so hopefully I can get some sleep and the extreme tiredness will pass also. We are excited and scared that we will soon be outnumbered by our kids.

Sweet Home Alabama

2009-02-08T16:19:00.000-08:00

Warning: Lots of pictures. We had a blast in Alabama. We enjoyed our visit and stayed with my dad and he spoiled us with many outings to eat seafood and steak. We spent time with Mike's brothers and sister also. I got to meet my newest niece Clara which is 2 months old. The girls loved the weather although for out there it was a little cold but still warmer than Utah. We took the girls canoeing on Mike's brothers pond and Mike got to even play a little golf. It was a relaxing and enjoyable trip. One of the pictures is Sydney kissing a moose at a great Irish restaurant in Pensacola. She saw the moose and said she wanted to give it a kiss. And we missed Mardi Gras by two days so we bought the girls some beads and masks and it was a hit they walked around the house with them on. It was so cute. And Mikes brother had us over and the boys played rock band and brooke loves playing the guitar so she sat down on the couch with them and played the guitar thinking she was in on the game. It was funny. Thanks dad for letting us stay with you and spoiling us.

Nothing New

2009-01-26T11:46:00.000-08:00

I hate when I go forever without posting something. I just haven't had anything to post. We have been carless for about 2 weeks. I got into a car accident on Dec 17th and we had a rental for a month but now we still don't have our car and the insurance won't pay for any more days of a rental car so me and the girls have been stuck inside going crazy. Thanks goodness for paints and a 4year olds imagination for play. Some good news we are leaving to go to Alabama on Friday so maybe when we get back I will post pictures. I have a bad habit though of going on vacation bringing my camera and not taking hardly any pictures. Hope everyone is having a good 2009 so far.

2009

2009-01-04T21:17:00.000-08:00

I think about as the year comes to an end about the next and wonders what's in store for the year to come and of course think about my regrets and should of's from the year before and as I sat thinking about 2009 and what I want out of it or what I would like to do different this year My #1 resolution for 2009 is to spend more quality time and be more of a patient mom to them. I love them so much but I know I let everyday stresses get in my way of a good attitude and sometimes I sit on the computer too long, or get rapped up in cleaning or cooking instead of playing on the floor building blocks, playing dress up or just paying attention to them. My #2 resolution is to be thankful more for the things I have and not worry so much at what I don't have or what someone else has that I don't. This is something I struggle with and need to work on. I am a blessed person and have two healthy girls and a very kind and funny husband who loves me inspite of all my weeknesses and is working hard to put food on our table. I have wonderful friends and a great family (in laws and all) and the gospel. I have nothing to complain about when I look at these perspectives. Why am I writing a novel on my blog? I just wanted to write down my goals so I have them documented and wanted to wish all of you a Happy New Year. May 2009 bring all of you good health, happiness, and whatever you heart desires.

Our Family Tradition

2008-12-30T14:59:00.000-08:00

Since Mike and I have been engaged every Christmas we have went up to Sundance Resort to have their famous tortilla soup and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. We have been 5 years out of 8. Being off in North Dakota hampered a couple of years. It is especially nice since we have kids now to make sure we do this every year while out in Utah. I enjoy our little tradition and really enjoy the memories that it brings.

Trip to Temple Square and I am a child of god exhibit

2008-12-14T10:19:00.000-08:00

On Thursday we went up to temple square to see the lights and take the girls to the I am a child of God exhibit in the museum. It was so nice and the girls loved it. Here are a few of the pictures from the night and a few random.

Happy Birthday Brooke

2008-12-12T19:37:00.000-08:00

Today is Brooke's Birthday and my little girl is 4 years old today. As a mom that makes me happy and sad because she is growing into this beautiful little girl but the sad part is that she is no longer my little baby. She is getting so big.

Today we got up and Brooke helped me with her cake and kept looking at the picture and the actual cake and told me it was different. Then we went up to the Mayan and had dinner. The food isn't the best but kids love the entertainment. It is set up like a rainforest and has cliff divers putting on a show. Brooke loves that place. Then we came home and had presents and ice cream she got a skateboard from Michael and princess stuff from mommy.

Things about Brooke

-she loves preschool

-she absolutely is obsessed with princess stuff

-she is the sweetest thing she is kind and loving in every way possible.

-she is a daddy's girl

Happy Birthday Brooke we love you.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

2008-12-06T08:45:00.000-08:00

I just have to post on how excited I am for Christmas this year. I just love Christmastime. I always have but now that I have kids and even more that this year they both are excited and comprehend alittle more about it this year makes it even better. We have been watching Christmas movies and listening to Christmas music in the car (gotta love xmas stations) and the Brooke has already started talking about what santa is bringing her.(so cute) Last night we drove around to look at lights and both the girls were looking out their windows saying mommy look at this or look at that it made me giddy with excitement about how happy they are and how I love the Christmas spirit and how everyone is just a little more kinder and happier this time of year. So I hope everyone can enjoy the excitement leading up to Christmas day.

Happy Birthday Michael

2008-11-26T14:55:00.000-08:00

Today is Michael's 33rd birthday and he is off flying but coming home late tonight just in time for turkey day which he hates thanksgiving food so Friday we will celebrate his birthday with whatever food he wants. I just wanted to post how much me and the girls love him and are so proud of him and hopes he has a wonderful day and can't wait to see you soon. Since I do this on everyone's birthday I just wanted to say a few special traits about him.
- Has the most georgeous blue eyes
- Has a great sense of humor (he can make anyone laugh)
-Is the best father I know (he is so good with the girls)
-Is a great pilot (he loves his job and it shows)
-Is my best friend.

Happy Birthday! We love you!

I look pretty.

2008-11-17T18:07:00.000-08:00

On Sunday before church I was coming down the stairs and Brooke told me to take her picture cause she was pretty. I had told her about two minutes earlier that she looked pretty in her dress so I guess she thought it was a picture moment of course once I got my camera out it was hard to snap a picture she was already preoccupied. Figures... These will do. I love my girls

Time to go night night

2008-11-09T08:28:00.000-08:00

This whole week someone has been sick in our house. It started with Brooke then Sydney and now me. So someone has always been under the weather . Brooke today is better but I think the week has caught up with her and so a little on the whiney side. She was argueing with me about something she wanted and started to whine when Sydney looked up at her and said Book (is what she calls her) if don't stop you go bed and go night night. (translation stop whining or go to bed)
Then brooke proceded to say No Sydney you behave or I give you a spanking. She tells me that too if i tell her no. Just to set it straight we don't give her spankings but she will tell you that she will give you one if you do something she doesn't like.
Sydney then proceeded to tell brooke to be nice and went over and took her toy and pulled her hair. She can be kind of a bully at times. (Even to her bigger sister, we are working on that)
This is just a typical day sometimes between two sisters. But they did hug and makeup, now they are laughing at each other and playing with blocks so all is good.

Getting ready for Halloween and enjoying the rest of Fall

2008-10-31T10:26:00.000-07:00

This week has been so beautiful here in Utah we couldn't have asked for better weather so me and the girls did all we could to stay outside and enjoy the rest of Fall cause they are calling for colder weather starting next week. Yesterday the girls had a pre halloween dress up for Brooke's preschool that me and some friends do for our kids. It was so fun for the girls. We also got a little pumkin carving done early in the week while Mike was home.

I love being a mom

2008-10-20T20:23:00.000-07:00

I love October

2008-10-18T19:56:00.000-07:00

I just love October I love the changing of the trees and mountain out here in Utah, I love the weather, I love the first snow fall especially on Timp (mount timpinogas) and I love taking the girls to the pumkin patch every year. And of course Halloween. I am very excited about that this year with the girls. Aren't all holidays more fun now with kids.

Catch up

2008-09-30T17:56:00.000-07:00

So I am officially a terrible blogger. I have slacked off lately. I blame it on my inner 16 year old self getting caught up in the Twlight series books. Let me tell you I haven't ever been addicted to a set of books like these. They are very easy to read and really good. I was hooked after the first chapter and read the first book in two days. that has never happened. anyway sorry for being so behind

We haven't been up to much but here are some random pictures. Mike just got his first line at the airlines he has been on reserve or high speeds so October will be a good month for him. He is excited to actually have a somewhat decent schedule. We are so proud of him.

These are just random pictures the first is of me and my sisters when I went down for my grandmothers funeral and the rest are of my sweet and sometimes miscievious girls look at sydney with all her toys. I clean up after that child all day long

The Shack

2008-09-18T19:46:00.000-07:00

So I was at the airport and by myself knowing i would be standby and have layovers so I went to the bookstore at Salt Lake Airport and remembered Mary (Carli's sister)had recommended this book on her blog and let me tell you I am not a book reader, I don't get into books really but I could not put this one down and I couldn't stop tearing up reading it. It was such a great book although reading this book going down to a funeral can really bring the tears rolling. I recommend it to anyone. It's very uplifting.

If anyone has another recommendation for another good book please leave me a comment I need to start reading another book now.

My Grandmother 12/25/1919 to 9/4/2008

2008-09-10T19:18:00.000-07:00

My Grandma died Last Thursday on the 4th. She was a very special lady in my life but lived a very good life of 89 years. She was born on Christmas Day on 1919. She had 3 children. She was so full of life and never let anything get her down. She will be deeply missed. I can't remember a childhood memory without her and not talking to her more than a week. If I or she hadn't heard from each other in more than a week we would be calling the other one wondering whats going on. I loved that lady.

- She loved to dance and went out dancing every weekend up until she was about 77 years old.

- She loved the beach and lived on the coast until Hurricane Katrina destroyed her house.

- She loved her family and friends.

- She loved to shop at antique shops and flea markets and did so every weekend up until the last week of her life.

- She outlived her daughter and son and two husbands.

- She had the biggest heart of anyone I have known she loved you deeply and would do anything for you.

Just random summer pictures of the girls swimming, finger painting and just chilling. That is what our summer has consisted of this year. Its been so nice to hang out with the girls and watch them grow into little girls not babies anymore. (so sad) I don't want to get mushy but these girls are the best thing I could ever dream of in my life. They are so much fun and have such different little personalities that are so fun.

Memories

A friend started this fun post on her blog... so here is my "memories post"...
Here are the directions:
1. As a comment on this post, leave one memory that you and I had together.
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.
In advance, thanks for the memories:)

Fireworks, Water, and Fun!

2008-07-05T21:23:00.000-07:00

The girls had a very nice 4th of July. We just went to my sister in laws and hung out and played in the water and bbq'd and shot off fireworks. Sydney was scared at first but got comfortable toward the end. Brooke loved everything from the get go. My girls are getting to big it makes me sad. I love the 4th its probably one of my favorite holidays. I love this country we have the privlage of living in and am so thankful for the troops who are providing that freedom for you and me. The 4th really makes me think of how thankful for being born in America and having all the privilages I do. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

A day at the lake

2008-06-29T15:01:00.000-07:00

On Friday we went up to Rockport and spent the day in the sun and jet skiing. Mike and I just love being on the water and how Friday went so do our girls. The water was a little cold 63 degrees but that didn't stop us or even the girls from getting wet. Sydney wanted on the jet skis so bad that mike had to let her sit on one and she was so happy.

Trip to cascade springs

2008-06-22T15:54:00.001-07:00

Saturday we went up to cascade springs in American Fork Canyon. It is so beautiful there. I suggest it to anyone who is looking for somewhere to go. Its also cooler up there so that is a plus in itself. The drive is so pretty up there and plenty of turns so becareful if you have a kid like Brooke who gets car sick alot. We had to stop along the way so she could get some fresh air. And when we got there I pulled out my camera to take some beautiful pics but my battery was dead so these pics are off the web. I just love Utah for the many places you can go to see natural beauty and enjoy the outdoors. We are trying to take advantage this summer of getting out of the house and doing things around here. Hope everyone else is enjoying their summer also.

Art City Days

2008-06-18T21:57:00.000-07:00

Last week was Art City Days was in Springville last week so we took the girls. They had so much fun. Ferris Wheels and Carosals what more can make you feel like a kid again. As you can tell by the ferris wheel picture at first Brooke wasn't sure about riding it after the whole day talking about riding it with daddy but she warmed up and had fun. I love the innocence of children.

Don't You just love the Mountains

2008-06-02T16:40:00.000-07:00

On Saturday while Mike was home we went out to Aspen Grove which is right around Sundance. It is a 20 minute drive from where we live. So close and so beautiful. We just walked along the trail and the girls had so much fun. I love how beautiful the weather is right now and how green and pretty things are. Before long it will be too hot to go outside so until then we will enjoy it.

Bath Time

2008-05-23T18:56:00.000-07:00

My girls love to take a bath. All you have to say is the word and they run up and start taking off their clothes. Its so cute. Sydney loves to put her ears below the water and listen to the sounds. Its a constant battle to get her to sit up in the tub.

A trip to the zoo

2008-05-23T18:14:00.000-07:00

Brooke's favorite
Looking at Monkey's

We all went to the zoo on the hottest day of the year so far. The girls had fun. We were just happy that there was a breeze that day.

What we've been up to.

2008-05-08T19:25:00.000-07:00

Its been a while since my last post sorry! We have been enjoying the beautiful weather here in Utah on and off. It will be beautiful for two days and then either rain or have a lot of wind but I'm not complaining I think it is so beautiful here. I love the mountains and the seasons here. When the weather is good we try to stay outside most of the day and go on good walks in the evening. This week we got to see Tanya Staples on Sunday. It was so good to see her. She is such a great friend to me. Love ya T! Thanks for letting us come and visit at your sisters. We also had a yard sale on Saturday which most of you may know I'm not a yard sale kind of person but we needed to get rid of stuff. It was sucessful. Other than that nothing too exciting has gone on

Brooke was tagged

2008-04-22T20:42:00.000-07:00

Jake Wood tagged Brooke (how cute and sweet) So here are 8 things about Brooke.

She is very loving. She loves for you to sit on the couch with her and she will hug Mike or I and tell us that we are her best friend. It's so sweet.

She is amazing at going to sleep. Naps and bedtime. Ever since she was little we have just put her to bed and read a story to her and said goodnight and she will either fall asleep or play quietly in her bed with her animals until she falls asleep. Sometimes she even reads her animals stories to put them to bed. It is sooooo cute to hear.

She has a serious sweet tooth. She loves snacks. One of her favorites is Reese's Peanut Butter Cups that she likes to share with daddy. They eat them together and she out eats him.

She has loved airplanes since day one. In our apartment in North Dakota we had a airplane over our bed that was hanging down by a string and would go around and round and she would just stare at it and to this day she can spot a plane or helicopter from nowhere its amazing. (takes after her dad the pilot)

She loves anything princess. we bought her a chest of princess clothes for christmas and there isn't a day that doesn't go by that she doesn't ask to be a princess. And then she says I'm a pretty princess Mommy.

She likes to sing but whats so cute about it is she will mix up songs and make up songs just like today we were in the car and were going to Golf Galaxy up in Salt lake after picking up Mike from the airport and she out of the blue just started sing "Golf Store Golf store aah yah yah golf store, golf store we are going to the golf store aah yah yah yah and something else we didn't catch the end because we were laughing and then of course Sydney started in on the fun. Its so cute how she will take something as simple as a store and make a song or take two songs and bring it together into one. (especially when the two have nothing in common with one another)

She loves to dance. She will say Mommy you wants to dance wif me? I love it. Then she makes me turn on music and twirl her around and sometimes will get Sydney's hands and they just go around in circles. (usually ends in Sydney getting tired off Brooke pulling her and then we have to stop but the few minutes are precious)

She has a black bear. Its her favorite stuffed animal and it comes on trips and anywhere she sleeps. She will NOT go to bed without him and he is the main one she reads the stories to every now and then. He is very special to her. I don't know what we would do if he got lost.

Thats just a bit about my little girl. She is so wonderful and sweet and I love her so much.

Now Brooke tags Savanna Brotherson, Sydney Staples, Sophie Fabrizo, and last but definitely not least Braydon and Bryce Staples.

My Little Boarders

2008-04-19T15:18:00.000-07:00

Mike went snowboarding last week and when he got home the girls started going through his stuff and this is what came of it. They will be up on the slopes in no time. Especially if Daddy has his way.

Polar Cave

2008-04-19T15:05:00.000-07:00

Mike and I went to Ikea and bought the girls this tent to play with. Brooke says its her Polar Cave and is a bit territorial over it but is learning to share. They love playing in it and its fun to see them at this age together because they are just getting to where they will play together for a bit. The years to come should be a lot of fun. I know I've said this before but I love having two little girls they are so much fun.

Way to go Daddy!!!!

2008-04-07T17:12:00.001-07:00

Last week was a good week in the Constantine house. Mike had the whole week off and instead of going on vacation or anything like that my sweet dear husband decided he was going to get Brooke potty trained once and for all.(she's 3 ) For those who don't know we have not had any luck with getting brooke potty trained. She was so stubborn about it. Refused to sit on her potty or her favorite line was I will do it morrow. So Mike got up on Monday and worked the whole day with her while I was at work and tah dah. Good job Daddy and Brooke. She is doing so good. Still scared of the big potty so pull ups while we are out but thats our next project, the transition from the little potty to the big one. We will take this for now.

Easter Time

2008-03-23T21:46:00.000-07:00

Well Easter has come and gone but a good thing about pics are that they tell a story for years to come. The girls had so much fun this easter. Mike got home this morning so they took a ride to the airport to pick him up and then when we got home the easter bunny had come with baskets of goodies and then we had a easter egg hunt which we ended up having to do about 4 times. I love how cute kids can be and how excited they get. Having children is the most rewarding thing I have ever done. Brooke and Sydney are the best. Hope everyone had a good easter.

Getting Ready for Easter

2008-03-22T18:17:00.000-07:00

Its that time of year. Brooke had so much fun getting ready for easter. She loved helping dye and glitter the eggs and making cookies. Sydney on the other hand wasn't so interested.

I love my family!!!!

2008-03-06T16:51:00.000-08:00

Well we got back from Alabama on Monday night. It was so nice to get away for a while and be in nice warm weather. I love where I'm from and didn't really realize that until I moved away I think growing up that I couldn't wait to get out of the south and now that I am I really miss the people and culture. Don't get me wrong there are things I don't like about it but I am glad of where I came from. It was so nice to see Mike. Before our trip we had only seen Mike about 4 days out of the month. I love my husband he is the same goofball he was when we met back 12 years ago. Can you belive it I have known him that long. We have almost been married 7. Time flies. He is such a good father to my girls. Brooke is such a daddy's girl and Mike just eats it up. Sydney now is starting to be. For a while she was all mine but times are a changing. SO Sad..
Anyway he keeps me laughing and hope that always is the case. He is the only one I know that knows how to make me laugh when I think I could kill him. I love that quality about him.

It was so nice to be back home and the girls got to see their cousins and grandpa and aunts and uncles so its nice for them to be around that side of the family. We got to eat lots of seafood and food in general. My dad is very fond of eating out so by the time you get back from a visit you are ready for cereal for dinner.

I was reading a friends post earlier and it got me to thinking ( i know scary) that how blessed our we as women to have the responsibility of creating life. That just blows my mind sometimes to think that I have created these two souls and am responsible for them. What was Heavenly Father thinking I don't know what I'm doing. Then I think how scary of a job and how rewarding of a job at the same time. I am a firm believer that Moms and Dads have totally different roles as parents. I know I wouldn't want Mike's responsibility of providing but how rewarding it is to have a sick kid want no one but their mommy. With Sydney being sick she just wants her mommy and only her mommy to make it better. I love that feeling.

Well sorry for the novel. Hope all is well with everyone. Someone comment and tell me how to get music on my blog. I don't know how or what im doing.

A Good Week

2008-02-20T17:59:00.000-08:00

This has been such a good start to a great week to come. We have been carless for about 3 weeks. We sold our Subaru and couldn't find anything after we sold it. I was getting nervous and plain out mean because I didn't have a car but as Mike continued to tell me was to be patient and it would pay off and low and behold we got a Honda Pilot yesterday. Its used but in good shape and now I have a car and one with enough space that the girls aren't fighting because one is touching the other. Also I have been trying to lose my baby weight from Sydney and shes 18 months. I still haven't lost it all but all my hard work has been paying off finally. I have been running every night and my weight has just stayed the same until this week and lost 4 pounds. I was so happy. And next week we are going to Alabama. Mike and I are from there and love that fact. I love the south. I love the culture and people. And the FOOD!!! I am so excited to see my family and go eat some seafood and McGuires steak. YUMMY. All that weight I just lost might come back after this trip. :)
That is about all going on in our lives. I am so thankful for my husband who is working so hard to try and give us the nice things in life. It has been a long journey from school to flight instructing to a job with Mesaba flying people to and from all the small towns in MN and ND and IA. I know flying a small regional plane isn't his dream job but its on its way and a small due for bigger and better things. I don't tell him enough that I appreciate him but I do.

I am blessed to have a great family and friends.

My Little Princesses

2008-02-10T20:28:00.000-08:00

Brooke and Sydney almost every night put on their little princess costumes (we got brooke a chest full of dress up clothes for x-mas) and then ask for songs and we dance almost every night. I love dancing with the girls. Its so much fun to have two little girls.

This week has been a busy and stressful one. Mike is on reserve this month and so we don't see him much which is sad. But he will have 4 days off and we are off to Alabama. I am so excited to see my family and the warm weather. I just made my own sugar scrub this week and its nice so I will share it with you

SUGAR SCRUB

1 1/2 cup pure cane sugar

1/2 grapeseed oil ( or almond oil)

Scented essential oil of your choice ( I like some that bath and body works has)

This is a cheaper method than paying 20 dollars at the store.

My Girls

2008-02-03T08:25:00.000-08:00

Here are a few more pictures of the girls. I don't know about you mom's but I can't get my girls to sit down to take a picture. I have to hide the camera and snap it when they aren't looking. So for all of you that have kids that are picture friendly I am jealous. Sydney (left) loves wearing hats so I thought this was too cute. Brooke (right) it just a girly girl.

Starting Early
The last storm that hit. Michael while he was home took Brooke out and pushed her around on my snowboard. She will be a pro in no time.
