Knowing Gronemans like I do, I'm curious how many of our clan actually stayed awake to greet the new year. I'm guessing only 20% did. The Dastrup tribe certainly didn't since our kids don't understand the concept of sleeping in. Did anyone actually party?

We didn't, as usual. Went to bed about 9 and woke up about 6 to greet the new year. Erica told me their story...I'll let them tell it. :-)

We invited all the young couples of our ward over to our house for new years eve (knowing most would be gone visiting family). When I planned it, there were 3 families who were coming for sure, but every single couple ended up backing out last minute. We were actually glad thought because we were very tired. I went to bed at about 8:30.

Well, I know Chad and Erica were asleep at midnight, but not by that long. I hear they were awake at 11:50 and went to sleep and woke up at 12:10. Right? Anyway, sounds like they are so far the biggest partiers. Brett and Katy had plans. I'll bet they were awake.

Yes, Brett and KatIE were awake. Then I had to go from Highland to Cedar Hills and then to Provo to be at work at 6am after getting to bed at 2am.

Yep. I'm going to bed early tonight.

And mom (and everyone -- you're not the first to do it), it's "Katie." Not "Katy." FYI.

Hi KatIE! Anyway, I had to brave the night by staying up until midnight while the rest of the Nelson clan took the sleeping shift. There's not much to celebrate when you're by yourself

When you're used to a house full of kids, being by yourself can be cause for celebration in and of itself.

...and just for the record, I've always spelled it "Katie" (Just look at my blog posts) but I'm contemplating a change over to Katheryn any day now.

NAW! She is KatIE 100% to me. I have heard her called Kate by Brett, and for whatever reason "Kate" rubs me wrong. She is to classy fun and cute for "Kate"!

Yup, it's true. Chad and I stayed up until 11:50 pm, fell asleep, then woke up at 12:10 am. We could hear the Provo fireworks. So much for the countdown with the martinellis. :) I've never been much of a New Year's celebrater anyway--I'm too much early-to-bed, early-to-rise for it to work for me. We got so close though!! :)

well what a bunch of fuddy duddy's I have in my family! I stayed up and partied until about 4 am that morning. I worked but after work, I went to a dance, danced my heart out and then went over to my new group of friends house and played the rock band game...It was quite fun.

Deathly Hallows A box came in the mail on Saturday...it contained TWO copies of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows . One for me (happy birthday me from Chad) and one for Chad. I'm about 1/4 of the way through it. Do YOU have your copy?!? It's also officially my most hated time of year. Camping is over and it's HOT and even in the evenings it doesn't cool down much below 70 degrees. I can't wait for October, the best month of the year.

Those poor Jehovah’s witnesses showed up at the door here again . They come here every few months or so. They rang the doorbell and my father-in-law (Craig) answered it. They asked if he'd like to talk about religion and he invited them in and said he'd love to. To make a long story short, he asked what makes the Jehovah's Whitnesses special and what was their "compelling doctrine". Their response was "well, we read the bible." Craig- "So do the Baptists, Catholics, and Mormons..... so what is special about your church" JW's- "we belive in Jesus Christ" Craig- "so do all of the Christians.... " JW's- "We preach the gospel" Craig- "Um... that still isn't original. Tell me why I should listen to you over anyone else" JW's- "Umm... I don't know..." Craig- "Well I'll tell you what the Mormon's compelling doctrine is that makes us different from everyone: We have ...

potty training done

Kiera is 100% in "tinkling" in her potty for 5 days now (except at night). I'd say potty training is done. I do have to say though that the transition from little potty to big potty was difficult (it didn’t help that Lydia was sick either). She would tinkle a tiny bit and then ask to go again 5-10 mins later all day long! Finally I was trying to make dinner and after being interrupted twice by her asking me to go (meanwhile my sick little Lydia cries hard when I leave the room with Kiera and if I bring her with she rolls around our nasty bathroom floor). So she came up and asked again “tinkles, mommy!” So I broke down and busted out the little potty and put her in front of the TV on it. I then picked up Lydia and nursed the poor little thing to sleep. Kiera tinkled quite and bit and was quite pleased with her self and pulled out the tray beneath the potty that holds the tinkles before I could stop her (I don’t run very fast when I’m holding a sleeping baby). Of cour...
