Getting Settled in CA!






Hey everyone! Well, its official...we moved into our new house in Valencia, CA on Wednesday and are already unpacked except for my room! My life has basically consisted of a few words...BOXES, CHAOS, NO SLEEP, TRAMPOLINE, EATING OUT, NO EXERCISE! But, I must say that I am so happy here! The weather is perfect, I love my new house, my neighbors are great and we loved Church today! I have already found someone to watch Gabi and I'm still deciding on a preschool for Olivia.

We bought Olivia a trampoline and she has spent most of her time here jumping and playing with Gabi in their new playroom. I love the layout of the house...its just perfect for our family. I can see why people pay so much to live in this beautiful place...its paradise!

Just to top it off, I went for a run last night for the first time and right by my house there is miles and miles of running trails that go all different directions that give me the perfect change up so I don't get bored. Its also great for us to all ride bikes or go on walks. For all of you who love In & Out Burger, there is one a down the street from my house. We have already found a favorite restaurant and can't wait for visitors to come so we can take you there!

People have asked for pics of the house, so here are a few of the downstairs. I still have stuff sitting out b/c I'm trying to figure out where I want everything. I'll put more on of the upstairs later. Love you all!

Date Night & Presents!






Olivia got so many great presents. Thank you all so much for your gifts! My Mom and Sister found this Dorothy dress and shoes and she literally wears it every single day! K.C.'s parents and his brother, Camron took Olivia on a date to Chili's and then let her pick out a new outfit at Gymboree. She had to wear this outfit which I thought was adorable. She got lots of dress ups since it is her favorite thing to do. Happy Birthday my sweet little angel!

More Zoo Birthday Pics!






Gabi was such a trooper at the zoo. She didn't get a nap until 3pm! We put Bubble Tape in the Pinyata and the kids loved it! KC eventually had to break it...3 year olds just didn't hit quite hard enough. Olivia used to be scared of the fake elephant who spits out water, but this time, she loved it! We had such a fun time.

Olivia's Birthday at the zoo!


Olivia with her Pinyata before we went into the zoo. This thing was a hit!




Olivia had so much fun with her little friends Dylen and Christian. We went and saw all the animals, ate cupcakes, opened presents, got on the merry go round, the train and of course, hit the pinyata! It was great! She was worn out!!

Fall Time, Lots of Changes!!


Well, this fall has brought many changes to the Moultrie family. First and foremost, K.C. got offered a promotion to District Manager for Takeda Pharmaceuticals in California!! He accepted the position and we are moving to Valencia, CA in the next 2 months. Our house in on the market and we already have an offer down on a house we adore! Valencia is an new, clean and adorable city only about 40 min from LA. We look forward to visitors!!!




Sadly, my father passed away the exact same day we found out about the promotion. My father was an incredible man who fought harder than any person I have ever known. He passed away from Metastatic Colon Cancer. He will always remain an example in my life of strength, honesty, integrity and courage. What more could any person want from their Dad!

Needless to say, this fall brings lots of change. We look forward to our new adventure and I am just so proud of K.C. for his outstanding accomplishments at only 28!! Congrats baby!!

Family Pictures!





Happy 1st Birthday Gabi!!





Gabi is growing up way too fast! I cannot believe she is already 1! Poor little girl fell asleep before she got her birthday cake, so we are going to give her one on Olivia's birthday...they're only a week apart.

Gabi is crawling around everywhere and trying to keep up with Olivia. She is pulling herself up but my little chubby girl still can't walk on her own. I'm definitely not complaining...I like the fact that she isn't running around! I want her to stay as baby as possible for as long as possible!

Gabi is such a snuggler and has a smile that will brighten up even the worst day possible! She loves to try to put things together and loves to play in the bath. This sweet little child will eat ANYTHING...literally, but after our trip to SC, this child LOVES GRITS! Oh, a southern girl at heart...I just love it!
