Finally!

Okay, so finally a new post! I have been such a slacker uploading pictures because we take them in RAW and that means I have to edit them before I can post a jpeg on here. It's pretty tedious needless to say. Anyway, here are some pictures to catch up on us.

Our happy baby Channing! Dressed for church:)

Anela just waking up and ready for breakfast!

Anela trying out the non-toxic finger paints! Eww!

Then Anela complaining about how yucky it was! This cracks me up!

Caisen painting his little elf!

Baking cookies for some friends who came over for dinner!

Caisen's dinousaur cookie he made without a cookie cutter! He is so creative!!!

Sneezing from the fine flour powder!

Lastly, does it take anyone else FOREVER to upload pics to blogger. It took me over 30 minutes!

Channing Kainalumalienui Futral

It's about time I blog about our newest addition! Needless to say, our house is very busy now with 3 kids.

So first things first,

It's a boy!

On Sunday August 29th we went to the hospital at 5:30am. Labor was slow so they broke my water at noon because we waited till my mother in law could be there since she was at stake conference...my father in law was released as Stake President that day. From noon to 2pm I progressed .5cm so they started "the pit drip" aka pitocin. Things started progressing again and at 5pm they stopped pitocin so that I could walk around and continue to labor naturally. Then at 7:30pm I started to push and at 7:43pm he was born! Stephen was able to catch him and tell me "It's a boy!!!"....that was pretty special to me! Labor was pretty intense but the delivery was amazing! I had the BEST labor support there too...my sweet hubby and of course our moms.

Channing Kainalumalienui Futral

7 lbs 9 oz

20.5" long

Since we didn't know his gender while we were pregnant, we had a really hard time deciding on names. We had a few in mind for both genders but nothing we absolutely loved. When he was born we were able to select a few names that we liked since we knew he was a boy! We narrowed our selections down the day we left the hospital and officially started telling family when Channing was 5 days old. We didn't have his hawaiian middle name till he was just 2 days shy of 2 weeks. But what the heck, no one goes un-named their whole life so we weren't pressured to name him quickly.

Anyway, here's a few pics of our little man...and all his whiteness!

Anela's First Birthday Party!

Monday, July 26, 2010

Happy 1st Birthday Anela!

I cannot believe its already been a year! Time has flown by. This morning we went to Anela's 12 month check up and she weighed in at 21 pounds 3 ounces (52%) and 30 inches tall (82%). She is healthy and happy! And so are we! Here are a few pictures we took of her with our makeshift black fleece background. I think they turned out pretty good for our first time with Anela. I was able to edit them on photoshop as well so don't mind the colors...some saturation and hue are kind of off.

Happy 1st Birthday!

We LOVE you Anela-girl!

Some recent pictures!

Here we went to Stephen's boss' lake house for the weekend! The weather was amazing and we had such a great time with family and friends there. We are so grateful to be so blessed.

And lastly, we went to the park a couple weeks ago and Caisen face planted when he was trying to do his "superman" trick on his stomach on the swing. He insisted on wearing a race car bandaid on his face to bed. It was comical and cute!
