So, I know I could make a list of excuses of why I haven't kept this blog updated...
1. I don't have time
2. I rarely remember that I even have a blog that needs updated
3. We have MOVED to Utah and been super busy
4. We are starting a clothing store
5. I am to lazy
but no one wants to hear my excuses... so I'll just get to my updates :)
The biggest thing that has been occupying our time is our recent move to Midway Utah. Yep... That's right... Midway- home of Wayne and Cheri Mitchell (the in-laws). I know, crazy right?!? Who would ever move in with their in-laws (for the second time)
hehe. Well, actually they were kind enough to let us crash here till we figure out where we will be doing our store. SO- a HUGE THANKS goes to Wayne and Cheri!! It's a good thing we all get along :)
It was quite the process getting all packed up. Moving is NEVER fun! Thanks to my mom and a few people from our ward that helped us pack and load the trailer. I was a little emotional packing up. I was excited to start a new adventure, but sad to leave Spokane, our ward, friends, my job, and especially my family. We couldn't quite fit everything in the trailer so I had to give Malaya's play kitchen away to our Spanish neighbors, along with our portable air conditioner, and other items to my mom.
Malaya had fun helping with the packing! (this is one of the shelves Greg had just made for our food storage that we hid behind out couch-
unfortunately this is one of the items that didn't make it to the trailer :(
Lets just say, there were a lot of tears and a lot of stress. Thankfully we had Greg's sister Jenny who flew up to help us out and help drive with Malaya and I . I'm so glad she was able to come- she helped entertain and tend to Malaya which was a huge help. Thanks JEN!! We also purchased a portable DVD player for the car- it was the best purchase I've made! Malaya did so good the entire trip and loved watching all her movies.
MOVING ON...
A store? YES!!!! We were lucky enough to find an investor who wants to do a clothing store with us, and we couldn't be more EXCITED!!!
Yiiiipppeeee :) So- we said goodbye to Spokane, and Hello Utah! But, we never could have done it without my aunt Val, who gave me a great opportunity to work at her store for the past 4 years. Thanks Dan and Val! Here is my staff at my going away party. I'll miss you guys!
More info on our store coming soon!
We have also been talked into doing a sprint
triathlon with Greg's sisters. I know what your thinking... Kalie- running?!? (or biking and swimming for that matter) What the?? Yeah, that's what I kept saying till I was peer
pressured into it! Yep- we have signed up for a sprint
tri at the end of June as well as the Dirty Dash June 4
th. This should be interesting.

SLC.
I am always trying to get pictures of Malaya and 9 times out of 10 its blurry because she is a little wiggle worm. I wanted to get some on her birthday, and these actually turned out pretty good. My little princess. Isn't she cute!?!
After lunch we headed back in and rode the train and saw more animals. Malaya was completely worn out afterwards and fell asleep as soon as she sat in the car...I would call that a success :) The weather was great and we had all of Greg's family there.
Way to go Mitchell!! 
Doing the robot dance... he could hardly contain all of his excitement haha 
We decorated the house and got him a cake. Unfortunately, as soon as we got home the balloon popped because it hit the ceiling fan... so we taped it to the wall. The whole weekend we were there Malaya kept singing the happy birthday song it was pretty funny. It was great to be home for a few days and Malaya had a blast with Grandma Kaelyn and the boys. We miss them already!

Our poor little girl! We were headed out the door to church when all the sudden I hear Greg say "run Malaya run"... I look back just in time to witness Malaya trip and fall flat on her face on the pavement. I'm pretty sure my heart stopped for a moment and all I could think is CRAP, I hope she didn't knock out her teeth!.... and then the yelling at Greg set in (because it was his fault of course. After all- it was him who told Malaya to run... so it has to be his fault). She had scrapes all down the side of her head and blood coming from a cut under her nose. She immediately got a fat lip... but no teeth were hurt, and she was surprisingly calm after about 10 min. So, we headed to church, and Malaya went to nursery with bloody face and all. Poor girl! (by the way.... it's still Greg's fault hehe).
Malaya's new favorite thing to do in the bathtub thanks to Grandma Cheri! She loves coloring all over the tub (and herself).
Malaya recently discovered that Mitchell has a drum set in his room. Now every time we go to Grandma's house, this is what we find Malaya doing. I have a great video of this.. hopefully I can figure out how to post it.
I came home from work one day to find Malaya in pigtails! So cute! Usually, I try to do Malaya's hair before I leave to work, because Greg wasn't quite sure how :) But, to my surprise he starting doing her hair and he is actually pretty good at it!
