Now for the belated part.... last week, the 23rd to be exact, we took Jackson to his first hockey game. I was nervous because I didn't want to piss off any of the fans around us, especially because we had good seats so I figured they were paying good money to be there, they shouldn't be disturbed by a baby! BUT, Jackson proved to be a fan! It was a lot of fun to get out and do something different. I was so pleased with him and so pleased with all those willing to hold him! So - I recommend hockey games for babies!

ATTORNEY'S ADVICE - NO CHARGE
2.. When you are writing checks to pay on your credit card Accounts, DO NOT put the complete account number on the "For" line. Instead, just put the last four numbers. The credit card company knows the rest of the number, and anyone who might be handling your check as it passes through all the check processing channels won't have access to it.
3.. Put your work phone # on your checks instead of your home Phone. If you have a PO Box use that instead of your home address. If you do not have a PO Box, use your work address. Never have your SS# printed on your checks. (DUH!) You can add it if it is necessary. But if you have It printed, anyone can get it.
4.. Place the contents of your wallet on a photocopy machine. Do both sides of each license, credit card, etc. You will know what you had in your wallet and all of the account numbers and phone numbers to Call and cancel. Keep the photocopy in a safe place. I also carry a Photocopy of my passport when I travel either here or abroad. We've all heard horror stories about fraud that's committed on us in stealing a Name, address, Social Security number, credit cards. Unfortunately, I, an attorney, have firsthand knowledge because my Wallet was stolen last month. Within a week, the thieve(S) ordered an Expensive monthly cell phone package, applied for a VISA credit card, had A credit line approved to buy a Gateway computer, received a PIN number From DMV to change my driving record information online, and more. But here's some critical information to limit the damage in case this happens to you or someone you know:
5.. We have been told we should cancel our credit cards immediately. But the key is having the toll free numbers and your card Numbers handy so you know whom to call. Keep those where you can find them.
6.. File a police report immediately in the jurisdiction where your credit cards, etc., were stolen. This proves to credit Providers you were diligent, and this is a first step toward an Investigation (if there ever is one). But here's what is perhaps most important of all: (I never even thought to do this.)
7.. Call the 3 national credit reporting organizations Immediately to place a fraud alert on your name and also call the Social Security fraud line number. I had never heard of doing that until advised by a bank that called to tell me an application for credit was made over The Internet in my name. The alert means any company that checks your Credit knows your information was stolen, and they have to contact you by Phone to authorize new credit. By the time I was advised to do this, almost two weeks after the theft, all the damage had been done. There are records of all the Credit checks initiated by the thieves' purchases, none of which I knew about before placing the alert. Since then, no additional damage has been done, and the thieves threw my wallet away this weekend (someone turned it in). It seems to have stopped them dead in their tracks.
Now, here are the numbers you always need to contact about your wallet, etc., has been stolen: 1.) Equifax: 800-525-6285 2.) Experian (formerly TRW): 888-397-3742 3.) Trans Union: 800-6807289 4.) Social Security Administration (fraud line):800-269-0271 We pass along jokes on the Internet; we pass along just about everything. If you are willing to pass this information along, it could really help someone that you care about.

Grrrrrr

My mom mad me so mad today. She decided to eat some of Jackson's green veggies without even asking. When I caught her eating them, I was upset with her because right under Jackson's nose, he's getting a little orange. Most of his veggies are orange, so I cherish his green veggies. I told her my feelings on the matter, but she didn't care. She said I just needed to clean him better. Needless to say, I was pretty annoyed.
Luckily it all worked out because soon after, I woke up!
A Day at the Salon
As part of my birthday gift from my mother-in-law, she treated me to a cut and color. It was nice considering I rarely get my hair done. I seem to touch it up myself, then go see Shelly, then touch it up myself so on and so forth. Considering there were four of us getting our hair done, we arrived at the salon at 3:45pm and didn't leave until almost 10pm. It was such a long journey, but I am to blame for most of that time!!! It was great visiting though and something even crazier happened while we were there. (I know, what could be crazier than getting your hair done for hours on end....)I was the first to go in because I naturally needed to be the first to get started. There was another woman in the chair next to me. She looked familiar at a quick glance, but I didn't really get a good look. Then she went to hand me a magazine, she looked at me and there it was. Magic was in the air. Well maybe not be it was pretty cool to be looking at my sort of cousin. I hadn't seen her since my wedding so it was so great to run in to eachother by chance. Small world!
Anyway, I am off with my new hair to accomplish a million things today - have a good one!

Finally Out of Bed

We got home from the doctor's office and Jackson went straight to bed. All day Thursday, our little man was in and out of sleep. He was so uncomfortable so Andrew and I took turns staying with him. I got the best break of all when my dad and I went to sushi - thanks for the break Andrew and thanks for the sushi dad!!!!
Around 8:30pm Thursday night, Jackson threw up all over our bed. So Andrew took him in the shower and I changed our sheets. Jackson came out a new man. He was laughing and playing and trying to scream, but due to his illness, it was more of a whisper. Then around 9:15pm, he was back to sleep.

For the last three nights, Jackson has slept in our bed and I am really hoping it won't be a fourth! Last night he lasted an hour in his bed, and then woke up very offended that he was alone. We were going to have a baby-sitter come over today so we could go to the Temple, but Jackson just wants to be with us. Sweet but exhausting.
Yesterday I took Jackson out to Walmart, he did well, but the rest of the day we just hung out. Today on the other hand we went to Costco and Andrew's volleyball game - he is sort of the coach, but he doesn't really coach - it's a bizarre calling. Out of all the sports he plays, volleyball is not one of them.
Anyway, other than
me and Jackson being sick, life is pretty normal. We are getting our Christmas stuff up - you will get the finished pictures when... well when we finish!
Just For Fun!
W O R D S A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000.The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"
The Silent Treatment A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it.The next morning, the man woke up , only to discover it was 9:00 AMand he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up." Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.
God may have created man before woman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.

101.4
Yesterday the coughing began, then at 7pm, the crying began. Jackson cried every half hour or so. This made for a very lovely nights sleep - or not! This morning around 7:30am I took his temperature (last night it was normal) and it was 100.4. Then around 8am it reached 101.4. I had him in a cool bath, goosebumps and all, and then put him in a onesie. I quickly got dressed and off we were to see Dr. Melman.
Melman said that Jackson has an ear infection in his right ear. The fever should go away in 24-48 hours. So for now, Jackson is living on anti-biotics and Tylenol. Poor baby. He wakes up so often and he drowns his face in tears - so he looks like he got beat up pretty good!!
So sad! And Jena, two sick babies at once - with each step I experience, I learn how amazing you are!

Thanksgiving

This year was much like all the others because we spent a lot of time on the road but other than that, there were many changes. It all began with picking up Ben and his girlfriend Vanessa, on our way to Riverside for our 2pm appointment. So not only was that a first, but this year all of my siblings were able to make it. It was so great to have them all there celebrating with the family. Abuelita did very well in joining the festivities and taking care of herself. It was a lot of fun at Rob & Sharon's and I wish we could have stayed longer, but duty called in Acton at 5pm.


We didn't really plan on being there at 5pm, naturally because we had just had dinner, but we were still late in meeting our 6pm goal due to an accident. But once we got there, we had a nice time visiting. I guess I would have to say this year was different over because it was a pretty empty house. Had Tristan's family not come, there would have only been Tori and her family, Curtis and Tristan and then us. Wes, Paige, Shay, and Kioa are in Ut. and Chris is in Pakistan (I think). Sorry no pictures this time, my camera battery died in Riverside :(
So I have to say - I am grateful for that day, I am grateful for my life - Happy Thanksgiving You All!!
For Beckham & Hudson: akslhfl LKAHF DFIKLJ love, Jman

Where Has The Time Gone?
Jackson grew over night - He wanted to awake as a whole new person on his SIX MONTH BIRTHDAY!! It really is unbelieveable how much he has changed - we are so proud!Well the truth of the matter is, Cannon came over to celebrate with Jackson. Too bad Jackson was a tired pooper, Cannon was forced to entertain himself in memory of his buddy.
I on the other hand got some sad news today. Because my back has been tight for months, and for almost three weeks I haven't been able to laugh or talk a lot without coughing OR SING, I went to the doctor's today. I was put on steroids and can't feed Jackson fo ten days. Who would have thought that would have saddened me?!?!? I always expected to welcome the end of nursing - but I am not. I am sure I will get over this attachment soon and be glad it's over, but as for tonight, it's a gloomy one. So for Jackson's birthday gift - he got one last meal :)
The Last Farewell

So you may be right in thinking that SUSHI was just an excuse to go to sushi - it wasn't really the farewell. Because of that, we headed to Acton to say ou
r final good-byes. It was weird knowing Shay and Kioa were moving to Utah, but it's nice timing because they will be back in a month for Christmas. They also had a chance to watch Jackson Friday, so they were able to bond one last time.So what else is new in the neighborhood??? Jackson is having a little too much to drink these days.

The shades help him then deal with the bright lights.

Once recovered, he likes to go out and play a nice game of Polo.

As for me, I am just hanging out!

Farewell Fifita's

They are off to a better life in Utah!! They leave this weekend so we had to get in one last Light 'N Healthy trip. Nothing like a spicy tuna hand roll!!! We will miss you guys, but we'll always have sushi!

Tired Boy
Other than that, life is going fairly well. I have a slow month due to the holidays, but Andrew has had an extremely busy month. Which is good and bad as you can imagine! Jackson and I have been doing a lot of bonding though - he is SO much fun!!! I am sure it will only get more and more interesting as he continues to develop, I just can't believe how fun it's been.
Anyway, I know a blog is never as interesting without a picture, so I will put this blog to its end.

Topanga Heaven!
t I can't speak much for the Nordstroms. I couldn't get myself to go in without you (and some money!!). So, then next time you are in town - you know where we are going!! Jackson said we should give you a sneak peak - I hope you enjoy it. Naturally it does not do it justice - and of course J had to be part of it - it was a big day for him you know!!! He spent A LOT of time there with us back in the day!!!

One Year - Take Two
A yea
r ago yesterday - the twins arrived!! I remember being so excited and nervous and in denial. I couldn't believe it was actually happening... wait, this isn't about me.... Jena and Aaron, I am sure you were sharing some of my emotions - I mean it must have been an exciting time for you too!!! We hope you had a blast celebrating yesterday. You guys have done such an amazing job - twins are not easy and I should know :) Love you all and Happy Birthdays!!!!

The Walker
No, I'm not talking about Jena back in the day...I am talking about Jackson's walker. We finally found one. I kept finding exersaucers and things of that sort, but we wanted a walker. We wanted Jackson to be able to walk around downstairs, on his own - sort of! I was in Walmart, where I had just been a couple days prior to this occassion, and there it was... $30! So I picked one up and we headed home to try it out. Jackson was a little unsure in the beginning - but he quickly learned that he could easily move himself BACKWARD! He hasn't really moved forward yet, but it works! 
It's a great way for me to get the house cleaned up, especially if I give him a long enough book to read!

His First Halloween!!

The morning of our Halloween festivites, we decided to celebrate my 25th at the Acton Park. We met up with our families to play a little "over the line". Our softball game turned into over the line due to the fact that we didn't have enough people for a real game, and many were in favor of not
having to do too much running! IT WAS A BLAST! It was amazing to have all my siblings there, and most of the Andersons, and just enjoy being outdoors. I love softball so it was nice to get out there and compete - all though the competition took control over my mouth from time to time when I made an error! :(
We didn't go out ON Halloween, but we did go to the Agua Dulce Ward party on the Saturday before Halloween. It was interesting to be there again, but it was nice to give Jac
kson a litte taste of the festivities. I am sure he REALLY enjoyed it!I just can't wait to see him running around trying to get all the candy he possible can - NOT!!!!! (Do you like my junior high "not"?)
