We enjoyed baby chicks, decorating eggs, egg hunts, Easter baskets filled with goodies, family, food, card games, movies, late nights, and lazy afternoons. Here are a few pics from our week.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span></span><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0wN9Rb9nNkCUeZOFC9Mh7jLg_pkhOQPjjxtJygBxCyjlr01iUYxJESyyhJPGpd1vhEh8foB-FqDy2UCKOEOkeILpw-YR9pdB5EoilHiMstSVLDV5N1D_5iPSonTrcAyGpL-53NRndpqY/s640/Avila+valley+barn.jpg" width="476" /></div><br />

They learned about how much sugar there really is in some of their favorite drinks, what happens to your lungs, teeth and skin to people who smoke, pretended to be superheros, climbed rock walls, some face painting, checked out the fire trucks, made caterpillars and butterflies, and had just a super kid day! It started out chilly, but it ended up being a beautiful day.

Apparently I forgot the memo about it not to be any bigger than a shoe box...oops! He designed it where the Leprechaun would see a pot of gold when he opened the door and would walk in without looking down and fall into the large box because he didn't see the hole, and not be able to escape. Ah well size and scheme apparently doesn't matter, we caught no such Leprechaun that night, but Mason came home talking of stories of how they messed up and broke a few of the other classmates traps and scattered bits of gold around the classroom. I love this age of mystery and fantasy, surprise and pure belief. I will be sad when it all disappears.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Mason also had a school musical. Yeah a real one all the way across the street at the High School performance auditorium. It was theater seating and it felt like a real production. I was amazed at how well thought out it was and all the kids got a moment in the spotlight to sing a song with their class. Honey was beside herself and asked Daddy if he could sign her up for "this". She was up there singing and dancing right along with them, and had no clue what any of the songs were. I'd better sign her up for something, I swear that child was destined for the stage life.</span><br />

It was a perfect afternoon, lovely weather, my mother was visiting, yada, yada, yada... Half way on hwy 46 Royal starts crying, I swear she's having flash backs of our trip to Texas, she is really upset. We actually pull off the road and take her out. Poor baby, is just not having any fun, and neither are we yet. So we finish our drive and find out that everyone and their cousins are checking out the elephant seals too. Its cool, we find a parking space, Mason and Honey get a kick out of them and their funny sounds and cute little babies. We head back, stop at a beautiful view, snap a pic, get almost home. Royal pukes all over the herself, carseat, and car. Oranges, strawberries, and rice snacks, yummy. That was fun.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">And I'm asking myself..."Why do I even try?"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It's sometimes nice to hear the true story behind all the pretty pictures, and realize that everybody has an "off" day and no family is perfect, even if they look like it.</span><br />

Just before I got pregnant with Mason, I got a perm....yeah, you read right, a nasty perm. I don't know what I was thinking. Anyway, I let it grow out and when Mason was about 5 months, I cut the perm out of my hair, leaving me with "short" hair. I hated it! And swore I would never cut it again...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">...7 years later. It was getting unmanageable and I couldn't get it to do anything I wanted it to do. So I decided that since I had enough hair I would donate it. I found a donation through Pantene...since "Locks for Love" gets an over abundance of hair, and will be sending on where my hair will help make a wig for cancer patients going through chemotherapy. Its a win, win. I get to help a good cause and look fabulous at the same time. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I am guessing but I think I lost at least 10 lbs when he cut my hair...it was about 17 inches that was cut off. CRAZY....and gross!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It feels great and I really like the new look, and that is the point...right!!</span><br />

Which part of Texas you ask? Mexico...I mean El Paso. It may as well be part of Mexico, we were only about 5 miles from the border and what the newspaper called the most dangerous city in Mexico, Juarez. The heading on the newspaper read "Juarez hits 3000 murders for the year". Needless to say I did a lot of praying before we left for El Paso, thankfully we were just fine and enjoyed a week and a half of family fun. We enjoyed a day at Fantastico, baking day, Boys day (where the girls tagged along on a shopping trip), Girls day, Mexican food day, playing cards, and of course Christmas eve at Grandma O's house, and Christmas morning. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br />

She is such a joy to have walking around the house. She makes plenty of messes, whether its pulling all the books off the shelf, spreading all the hair accessories over the floor, or “helping” Cheezy, our dog eat his food. She loves to dance, chase her brother and sister, hugs and snuggling, to show us her new teeth, and cuddle with the doggy. But babies beware, she will eat you up. She loves them and tries to kiss and hug them to death. Its pretty funny to watch.</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px 'Apple LiSung Light'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 12.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px 'Apple LiSung Light'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Honey, 4, is enjoying preschool, and playing with her new friends.

We let him do another year in first grade and found out that it was the best decision we could have made. He is at the top of his class in reading, and math, and is finally confident in himself for the first time. Mason played soccer again where their team was undefeated and went to the finals this year. He scored plenty of goals, and is growing to love the sport more and more.</span></div><div style="font: 12.0px 'Apple LiSung Light'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 12.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px 'Apple LiSung Light'; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Janese, is starting to pursue her passion for everything photography, and trying to live her dream as a family photographer. She is desperately trying to learn the technique of capturing the perfect moment. She has photographed many families and is completely fascinated by all the possible outcomes of each picture.

Overcast, and just a little breeze, but not too cold. It actually felt a little bit like winter at the beach. Well as much as winter can feel like at the beach that is. It was nice, ok. Anyway, thank you mom for taking our pictures here are a few that didn't quite make the cut into the Christmas card but were still nice enough to show.</span><br />

Then Santa came out and surprised all the kids! It was pretty cute. I had to get one with Santa and Royal, the typical baby screams on Santa's lap picture, it was perfect. Larry thought I was mean, but it was awesomely classic!</span><br />

From Family and friends, God and country, to clean water and pumpkin pie with whip cream, the list is endless. We had a low key thanksgiving with family here in SLO, and the dinner as always was fantastic. I do believe that Thanksgiving should be a semi-annual holiday, because turkey dinner with all the fixings shouldn't be just once a year. We went to the Los Osos Sand dunes and hiked to the top, (mind you I was carrying a 20+ lb child), played in the surf, and enjoyed the cool brisk fall sea air. From us to you, we hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving feast, complete with full hearts and bellies!</span><br />

I have only but sad and lame excuses so I won't waste your time trying to explain myself. I think though that it was my sad looking, neglected blog that was essentially keeping me from posting. It needed a little TLC to say the least. So I perked her up a bit, threw out some old and put in some new. Now she is all done up and ready to give all you avid readers something better to look at and read.</span><span style="font-size: 130%;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 130%;"> </span> <span style="font-size: 130%;">Mason had his 7th, (yes I did say 7th), birthday on the 5th. My baby is getting so old. And the sad thing is that the older he gets, the older I get dang it. I hate how that works out like that. Anyway here are some pics from his birthday. It just so happened that I ran my first half marathon that morning in Santa Barbara, so I was a bit tired and sore, so we just threw him a little party and called it good.</span> <br />

She had a wonderful time, sipping tea, chatting with friends, eating strawberry's, and tea sandwiches. It was so cute. Honey has been my baby for the longest time, before Royal, and I can't believe she is already 4...It's crazy fast how time fly's.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are some pictures to share of her special day. </span><br />

They are so cute, and I just want to eat them up. She is 5 months and is at least 18lbs of pure chubba. She is sitting up now and can roll from her back to her tummy but doesn't like to stay there for very long. She only wants Mamma and if you take her away she has a fit. We can hear a mmmmmaaammmmaa when she is crying, so I count that as saying Mamma. She can't wait to have real food soon, and grabs at my cup or plate whenever it is near enough. She has had a bit of mango, strawberry, avacado, and rice and loved each one. Honey let her suck on her Popsicle the other day and Masons vanilla ice cream, we can tell she's already got a sweet tooth, just like her big brother. Mason hates to hear her cry and thinks I am mean for letting her do so. He gets the stool to get her out of her crib in the mornings and lets me have at least another 30 min to sleep in. He is so wonderful. I love those kids!</span><br />

I think its adorable but Larry wants to cut it out. It will stay a while longer I think. She gets little ones all the time, stuffed with lint and what not, we cut those ones out when they get too out of hand.</span><br />

I have officially started and am trying to build my portfolio and get myself some experience. If you are interested let me know, I am excited to start living the dream. I photograph families, babies, kids, pregnancy, and engagements.<br />

In the mean time we celebrated Easter with Larry's sister and family, and his Grandpa. Larry has been on vacation and it is always nice to have him home with us. We managed to get over to the Easter Eggtravaganza here in Buellton, with a 10,000 egg hunt. Its the fastest egg "pick-up" I've ever witnessed. 10,000 eggs gone in under 60 seconds.<br />
<br />
Mason lost his top tooth this week and now looks as if he had gotten into a brawl with a bigger kid. It is very cute but oh how sad I am to see those cute little baby teeth become replaced with chiclet sized chompers! Here are some pics of Easter 2010! <br />

It's always nice to get back to San Luis Obispo and dream of living there again someday. We stopped by Avila Beach to soak up some sun and listen to the waves. I brought my camera and enjoyed taking some pics of the day.

I treasure the moments I have with this little bundle of squishy joy. And relish the snuggles, smiles and coo's I have with her cause all too soon they will be but a fading memory. She is truly a wonderful baby and I finally get to enjoy the newborn, infant stage this time around. I love those chubby cheeks and perfect lips, they are so kissable, I just want to eat them up. I am so lucky she chose to be in our family and couldn't imagine a single day where I couldn't hold her close and smell her sweet hair and skin. I realize that being a mother is hard work and is less than flattering especially when it comes to your body, but I am so grateful for my children and all the joy they bring to my life.

It was such a nice time, just lounging and letting all my nieces and nephews tote Royal all around, what a nice break I got. Until I got home and she expected the Royal treatment to be held all day, no I don't think so sweety. The kids had a great time and we ate some good food! Here are some pics of our Holiday!

This is the dress Grandma Bennett got for her, she stripped off the one she was previously wearing and put the new one on. She wore it all Christmas day, slept in it that night and wore it again all the next day. It was a struggle getting that dress off of her. She Loved It!

This third time has really been a treat, even if I've had a few sleepless nights. She sleeps a lot during the day and really well so far at night too. I keep waiting for her to wake up and be a crazy baby like my other two were. I have so much more patients this time around also, which is surprisingly nice, and don't get into a tizzy when she cries for no apparent reason. I am loving and cherishing this short lived newborn stage cause I know it goes by fast.
Here are some pics of her at one week!</span>

We just barely fit into our 5 passenger car, without an inch to spare.
Royal Novell Rose Hockman, born sunny side up (face up), at 10:35pm on November 27, 2009. She weighed in at a hefty 8lbs. 14oz. (That's almost 9lbs, btw) and was 21in. long.
It all started at 8:30am that Friday morning with an</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> induction. I was already at 3cm. but was not effaced hardly at all. I do believe that if I had not been induced I would have been preggo for much, much longer, even though she was already over due. Pitocin was given at increasing doses for most of the day and when I hit 6-7cm I went ahead and asked for the epidural. What a nice feeling to go from lots of pain to none at all. But it was short lived and just a few hours of relaxing the pain started to come back, slowly at first but increasing each time. I couldn't figure it out...why was I feeling so much pain, I got an epidural??? Well, I finally felt like pushing cause the pain was overwhelming and pushing felt much better</span><span style="font-size:130%;">. So on we went to get the Dr. and started the process of making her way down the canal. OUCH!!!! An hour+ of hard core pushing and she was still not here. Something was wrong...I pushed Honey out in like 10min. why was this one taking so long?? I was running out of energy and getting frustrated when the Dr. said she was coming out face up. Which I was the reason of two things, why she was taking so long and why I did </span><span style="font-size:130%;">not feel my epidural working. Her little head was pressing on my bones and tissue keeping her from making a quicker appearance and keeping all the epidural meds from getting to my special spots. Need less to say I did have her completely natural and not pain free like I had hoped. She came out without more than a little peep and has been great so far, but we all know what happens after the few days of sleeping...they wake up!!
Nursing took a little longer and is as painful as ever but will soon be a figment of my imagination. We are so excited to welcome Royal to our family and her biggest fan would be Mason. He cannot get enough of her and wants to hold her all of the time. The smile he gets when he sees her would melt your heart. I am so happy and cannot wait for what the future holds.</span>
<span style="font-size:130%;">I truly love my little family.</span>
