The biggest milestone we've reached "lately" (Sept 3rd) was Avilyn's big #1 Birthday. We had a weiner dog party. We roasted hot dogs up the canyon & had so much family/friend support. I was real proud of the cake. Avi would growl at it every time she saw it.
ps. Model for the cake was "Lois the weiner dog"...Avi's best friend. The cake did have legs - I took the picture before I remembered them :)We had a small party at home on her b-day since her big party was a few days earlier. She was scared of the hat, but she loved her presents!
Moulton fam reunion where my grandparents had all their posterity except I believe my cousins husband. We're all really close so it was fun to be together. Below is Avi with her immediate cousins...16 grandkids for my parents... so far!
Ellie & Avi = palsDid a little camping in southern Utah...sadly without Porter who had to work.
One of the 1st days in our new apartment...also Avi's first sucker, which was supposed to be a taste, but she freaked out when I took it away...I gave in :)
Porter's "last" rugby game. He graduates in Dec. but he's paid the fee for all year so he's hoping to play spring ball too. By the way...Porter is the star of his team ;)
Halloween is always a blast! It's my 2nd favorite holiday. We had a friend's party on the 30th & then my cousin had his wedding reception the 31st...it was "wicked" awesome!
Porter as "Space Ghost"
Avi as "mommy's little witch"
My cousin, Daren, & his new wife Noel - celebrating "the death of single life"
I had a very happy 25th birthday!
Weekend in Boise with friends. We left Avi for 2 nights which were my 1st nights away from her. This pic is of Wil... we hardly took any pictures all weekend so I don't have any group pics. We kept busy...Eliza & Wil ran a 1/2 marathon, Porter had a rugby game & it was Lauren's
b-day /Wood's anniversary. We had a blast!

Last but not least is just a picture from Avi's everyday life... she organizes all day long.
Well now I remember why I don't blog...that took me over an hour...of course it is a long post with lots of pictures & it takes me too long to organize it all. But hopefully anyone who cares feels updated by my summary :)

what a fun update-so many great things! And I love the dog cake! GREAT JOB!
I was reading a article in the Statesman about the Rugby team and it mentioned all these good things about Porter and how he was/is a KEY player! Way to go!
It's true - blogging always manages to eat up a good chunk of time. But I love seeing Avi growing up since it seems like we don't see you all that much. Glad to hear you got into your new apartment and have been having some good times together.
Hey Kami Holy cow I bet that post woulda taken me an hour too! I love the pick of Avi standing on the oven drawer with all the others open. HAHA!
It's amazing what can happen in 30 seconds with those kids.
That was such a fun weekend! next time you guys come up we should just play more Nerts and watch movies and stuff.

kami Avi is so stinkin cute, I just want to kiss her little face! Next time we're up in Logan we're coming to play with you guys! We miss you!
I am dying at Porter's Halloween costume. I especially love his face! Where did he get those awesome pants?! I am so glad that he is part of our family. Love the pic of Avi with the cake on her face. She looks so sweet!
