After I left the shoot I got a flat tire which I ended up changing myself :) Mike showed me how last time we got a flat, it was a lot easier than I expected. The next day Mike took it in to get fixed and they were taking too long so he left it there went next door to the pizza place and a delivery guy backed up into him and took his bumper off!! We don't pay for any of the repairs since it is a company car but what luck huh? Now he has a rental - a 2009 Dodge Dakota complete with satelite radio, I don't think I want to give it back, lol.<br /><br />I have been booking lots of Holiday Card sessions and have filled up the next 3 weeks!! Of couse I still have not taken the picture of the boys for our cards this year, hopefully I can fit that one in!!<br /><br />Here's a pic of out tree losing all of it's leaves this morning due to the frost, it was so pretty watching them fall.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jacobsfam/2965490835/" title="Untitled by Christina K, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2195/2965490835_65234aa20c.jpg" alt="" width="332" height="500" /></a><br /><br />Here is Owen through the window happy to see me come back in :)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jacobsfam/2965487013/" title="looking through the glass by Christina K, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3188/2965487013_9c7aa96e8c.jpg" alt="looking through the glass" width="500" height="332" /></a><br /><br />I cut his hair a couple of weeks ago, he is so handsome!!Christina K.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02186082486242731606noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10992829.post-35266693316351733812008-10-17T13:26:00.002-04:002008-10-17T13:45:43.616-04:00UpdateI really should have updated sooner!! I am way behind right now. I am booking mini-sessions for Christmas Cards fast so if anyone is interested get in touch with me asap!!<br /><br />Owen has been sick this week, he has an ear infection - he is doing a lot better today. Boy was he cranky!!! That is my main reason for not getting much done. I laughed and told Mike that it would be amazing what I could acomplish if I only had a sitter a couple days a week. It is impossible to work while Owen is awake. Mike is getting a new laptop soon and I am keeping his old one, I am hoping that will help me out a bit.Christina K.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02186082486242731606noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10992829.post-46830019563517357912008-10-11T23:58:00.002-04:002008-10-12T00:01:46.853-04:00saturday 11:57pm<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jacobsfam/2932757487/" title="Untitled by Christina K, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3049/2932757487_b79ce86d2c.jpg" width="500" height="500" alt="" /></a><br /><br />We went to the Orchard today, hopefully I will have some good pics to share this week.<br /><br />More pics on Flickr as always <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jacobsfam/">www.flickr.com/photos/jacobsfam</a>.Christina K.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02186082486242731606noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10992829.post-87175486231653669072008-10-06T00:43:00.003-04:002008-10-06T01:00:51.936-04:00Spaghetti tonight.<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jacobsfam/2917049699/" title="spaghetti tonight by Christina K, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3011/2917049699_420af94b0a.jpg" alt="spaghetti tonight" width="500" height="332" /></a>Christina K.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02186082486242731606noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10992829.post-17055020676470144732008-10-02T13:42:00.001-04:002008-10-02T13:46:01.927-04:00Love this video!!!Just so you know there is swearing in the video.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-UaRXvRwhOk&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-UaRXvRwhOk&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Christina K.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02186082486242731606noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10992829.post-43365524978911321982008-10-02T13:23:00.002-04:002008-10-02T13:29:58.733-04:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj085hFzjcIehAfQAXrHTfkLdk97ORzh40ntA8SDCZej_yxLy5ylACVd8aO8Te0Cdb4eAkONlVRcpKtpqLknVgFuYa_Ck6FD3zmwr48dIa52jqCQt_Noakvw3_WDm716THH7_W8/s1600-h/_DSC8703resized.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj085hFzjcIehAfQAXrHTfkLdk97ORzh40ntA8SDCZej_yxLy5ylACVd8aO8Te0Cdb4eAkONlVRcpKtpqLknVgFuYa_Ck6FD3zmwr48dIa52jqCQt_Noakvw3_WDm716THH7_W8/s320/_DSC8703resized.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252609606685944066" border="0" /></a><br /><br />More here: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jacobsfam/">www.flickr.com/photos/jacobsfam/</a>Christina K.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02186082486242731606noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10992829.post-65195839236527663692008-09-28T10:37:00.002-04:002008-09-28T10:38:17.463-04:00Sunday 10:34am<style type="text/css">.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }</style><div class="flickr-frame"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jacobsfam/2879949953/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3022/2879949953_d0bdf1d22e.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /></a><br /> <span class="flickr-caption"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jacobsfam/2879949953/">new pj's</a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/jacobsfam/">Christina K</a>.</span></div> <p class="flickr-yourcomment"> I have not been posting much lately, things have been crazy!! My Grandma had heart surgery a few weeks ago, things went really well but she ended up in the hospital twice after that for complications. She had a blood clot in her leg, internal bleeding, and fluid in her lungs. Thankfully she is recovering a lot better now but she has a lot ahead of her. I have been sick, Jacob was sick a week after me and now Owen is getting it. Then Mike hurt his back so bad we had to go to the ER which took 8 hours!!!!! He is still not feeling better and will have to take more time off work.<br /><br />We also had a small fire from our dryer, luckily I had just bought a fire extinguisher so we were able to put it out quick. Good news is we were able to get a new washer and dryer free :)<br /><br />Pretty soon things are going to have to slow down around here!!</p><p class="flickr-yourcomment">New <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jacobsfam/">pics on Flickr.</a><br /></p>Christina K.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02186082486242731606noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10992829.post-84871271019580974912008-09-08T19:43:00.002-04:002008-09-08T19:52:07.422-04:00Well we are busy as usual around here.

My Grandma had heart surgery last week and everything went well :) We were supposed to go see her this weekend but my Dad said that since Owen had a cold still it would be best if we waited. Well that was a bit of a disappointment but it ended up being ok because on Friday night I started feeling really sick. I had a fever and chills and later that night I figured out I had a urinary tract infection. I took <a href="http://www.azoproducts.com/">AZO</a> to relieve the pain at about 1am and usually it starts working in about 20 minutes (it is the stuff that makes you pee orange). It took 4 hours!!!! Mike stayed up with me the entire time and luckily Owen slept and I didn't have to nurse him until about 5am. Mike took me to the After Hours clinic Saturday morning after 3-4 hours of sleep, we drove all the way there and realized I forgot my wallet. Then we had the meanest nurse i have ever met, we were seen immediately but it took over 2 hours for them to write me the prescription. Since then I have been feeling awful, this is the first time I have been on my computer since my last post. Tomorrow is my last day of the antibiotic and I am so happy because it is making me so tired. I have never heard of an antibiotic making you tired before, this one is killing me.<br /><br />We also found out that Clio only releases students during June so he is going to Clio this year. He is not happy about it but he is making the best of it. He is actually going to the same elementary school I went to before I moved to Grand Blanc.<br /><br />Some happy news for me, I got a new phone. Mike's company switched to Sprint from Verizon so we need to get me switched too. I ended up with the <a href="http://www.instinctthephone.com/">Instinct</a>. It is such a great phone!! It also comes in better that Verizon did out here.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwHVcKxQAb2zMBbPKz5kK0p0MMbXEXCUIs5hLvZjUcnbscBVxfZCOyL5wbUmhM2p0E3QKnFbB52NQvcfSAf7PvwKqBBi5u-60yucxKFoFkqkKGcUHZnFe9L5BTTjtmSlilYdDo/s1600-h/samsunginstinct_t.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwHVcKxQAb2zMBbPKz5kK0p0MMbXEXCUIs5hLvZjUcnbscBVxfZCOyL5wbUmhM2p0E3QKnFbB52NQvcfSAf7PvwKqBBi5u-60yucxKFoFkqkKGcUHZnFe9L5BTTjtmSlilYdDo/s320/samsunginstinct_t.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241936886330614274" border="0" /></a>Christina K.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02186082486242731606noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10992829.post-51932001634465561012008-08-28T14:32:00.002-04:002008-08-28T14:47:12.099-04:00<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jacobsfam/2805877429/" title="Untitled by Christina K, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3073/2805877429_4e3807be91.jpg" width="332" height="500" alt="" /></a><br /><br />We went to register Jacob for Montrose school this week, everything went great, the principle even gave us a tour. This morning the school calls me and tell us we are in Flushing school district. I have no problem sending him to Flushing but when I looked closely at the district map it says Mt Morris, no way is he going there. So I call both - Mt. Morris says we are not in that district and Flushing says Montrose. Great. So I call Montrose back and they called on our taxes, we pay Montrose City tax but Clio school tax so we are Clio schools. This is very annoying because now we are going to have to do schools of choice which means I may have to take him and pick him up every day. This is annoying for both of us, he loves riding the bus!! I called the head of transportation but she hasn't called me back. I just hope everyhing goes ok. Will update when we figure it all out!Christina K.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02186082486242731606noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10992829.post-55812662449627890722008-08-20T10:37:00.011-04:002008-08-20T14:54:33.273-04:00Mackinac Island TripFinally, the pictures are done.<br /><br />We had a great time, it definitely was hard with Owen, he sure is a handful!!

My cousin Angelica has been over helping out with Owen while I have been non-stop proofing. She is such a huge help and Owen loves her to death. She is still the only one besides me that can get him to sleep!! He walks up to her all day long giving her kisses and hugging her legs.<br /><br />Mike has a bachelor party to go to tomorrow and I am gonna take her and Owen to Great Lakes Crossing to shop a bit.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jacobsfam/2656140066/" title="Untitled by Christina K, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3014/2656140066_fd7300f08b.jpg" width="500" height="332" alt="" /></a>Christina K.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02186082486242731606noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10992829.post-28176690611568286882008-07-06T23:48:00.004-04:002008-07-06T23:52:19.993-04:00{ { J U M P } }I made the <a href="http://blog.epicedits.com/2008/07/06/photodump-07-06-2008/">PhotoDump on Epic Edits Webblog</a> :)<br /><br />It is my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jacobsfam/2609974540/">Jump</a> picture :)<br /><br /><a href="http://blog.epicedits.com/2008/07/06/photodump-07-06-2008/">http://blog.epicedits.com/2008/07/06/photodump-07-06-2008/</a><br /><br />Last row 3rd to the right.Christina K.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02186082486242731606noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10992829.post-81281726316995217802008-07-02T00:27:00.002-04:002008-07-02T00:36:10.329-04:00Wednesday 12:26am<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jacobsfam/2630350744/" title="Untitled by Christina K, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3255/2630350744_d3388cdcda.jpg" width="500" height="500" alt="" /></a><br /><br />He is teething again. His 4th bottom tooth and a molar on top :( He is so cranky. On top of that he keeps pulling Jacob's hair and hitting all of us in the face. We tell him to be gentle but he thinks it is hilarious. The after he does it he will kiss you a million times which eventually turns into trying to bite your lips or cheek.Christina K.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02186082486242731606noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10992829.post-72762810932681111502008-06-29T23:51:00.001-04:002008-06-29T23:52:50.316-04:00*the fam*Owen's expression is the best!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jacobsfam/2622113862/" title="the fam by Christina K, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3220/2622113862_1fd8ae6487.jpg" width="500" height="332" alt="the fam" /></a>Christina K.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02186082486242731606noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10992829.post-17112139676451361242008-06-28T20:02:00.001-04:002008-06-28T20:04:32.418-04:00Baby Carrier Contest!!<a href="http://www.alongfortheride.biz/contest-s/49.htm"><a href="http://www.alongfortheride.biz/contest-s/49.htm">Win the Essential Babywearing Stash from Along for the Ride (one Beco Butterfly, one Hotsling baby pouch, one BabyHawk Mei Tai, one Zolowear Ring Sling, and one Gypsy Mama Wrap)</a></a><br /><br />Awesome baby carrier contest!!!Christina K.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02186082486242731606noreply@blogger.com0
