Catching up

4 celebrations, 3 cakes, lots of presents and family...I think we're done! And after it's all over, Rielyn finally asks..."AM I 4 YET??" She is already planning her 5th birthday party and inviting people to come...so mark your calendars! :) Besides all the birthday party's that have been keeping us busy, we've also had a lot of family here. Nathan's mom was here for 4 days, and so we spent a few days hanging out with the Glavans (7 adults and 5.5 kids). Then my parents are here for a week and my grandma was here for 4 days too, so there were 9 adults and 3 kids that were alternating between my and my sisters house! It's nice to have them here, Rielyn loves it too...she's getting to the age however, that she's pretty upset when they leave. It's hard on them when grandma's and grandpa's live in another state! We also went to the Shriners circus last night with Nathan's brothers and their families. It was pretty fun...Rielyn and Ashlyn loved it. I thought Ashlyn wouldn't be interested, but she kept pointing at the animals and laughing and she did actually sit through all of it up until the last 10 minutes! I took Ashlyn and Rielyn to see Curious George (the movie) with Kim and Molly last week and Ashlyn did not do well AT ALL!! I think we got to watch 20 minutes of the movie! Of course, it was during her naptime so that's probably why she did so bad! Oh well! On another note, we have some good news to report about Nathan's job situation! He got promoted! They finally noticed him (he's had an AWESOME month selling cars) and have promoted him to be a 3rd new car manager/5 star coordinator! It is a salaried position and he didn't have to go through being a finance manager like they told him he would have to do to get this position! So, he's excited about it...the only downfall is he will still have the not so good hours. But, at least now he is on a good salaried position and we can actually plan a budget! This will also give him good managment experience for future opportunities! Yea!
