Things I've done

Okay, so here's just a list of what I've been up to since April. I hope that I can remember everything and they won't be in exact order of what I did first.
  • Went to the midnight premier of Harry Potter 7 part two, which was absolutely amazing! There were so many feelings and tears during that movie.
  • Moved out into Park Plaza apartments with my friends.
  • Went on a road trip to St. George with my friends where we went hiking around town and at Snow Canyon, swimming, and other fun things.
  • Went to the Tracy Aviary in SLC with my friends where we saw different types of owls, eagles, vultures, peacocks, and a whole bunch of exotic birds. We only had to pay $1 since they had a special offer and I would recommend people to take their little kids to it. It's was pretty cool.
  • Marshall Kenney Dutson was born in November. What a wonderful bundle of joy he is.
  • Went to the ranch in Fillmore for Thanksgiving.
  • Saw lots and lots of movies.
  • Had an awesome Christmas party with my friends, which consisted of secret santas, lots of food, hot tubbing, and other fun things.
  • Had an awesome Christmas party with my family. It was nice to have most of the siblings over and all the kids running around the house.
  • Taylor took my friend Andie and I to St. George for oneday, since he had a meeting to attend, where we went repelling, rock climbing, and went on a crazy adventure in some random place we found off the side of the freeway in the Virgin Gorge.
  • Had another New Year's party with my friends, which was fun.
  • Diesel Dean Ogden was born. It's so nice to have this little guy only two minutes away from home.
  • Started my fourth(?) semester of school. I'm just taking Human Anatomy, but just that class alone is really kicking my butt.
I think that's most of the highlights of my life since April, but I'm not exactly sure. I only have pictures of my two St. George trips on my computer, so I'll just post a couple from both trips.

Here we are about to go climb through the Crack in St. George.



Here we are in Snow Canyon about to climb up some steep cliff to see Pioneer names


This is us after going repelling and rock climbing.


Here I am repelling.



Here's an area we found on our crazy adventures of climbing up two mountains
and then finding our way back down a gorge that risked our lives several times. Pretty
much this was the craziest adventure I've ever been on.

Previously on Amy's life...

Wow, it's been a long time since I've updated this blog. I guess it's partially due to that I forgot my username and also probably because I forgot about this blog. Oops. BUT I really want to get back into blogging mainly so I can document my life since I'm really bad at writing in my journal. Anyways, seeing as the last time I posted was in April 2011, I have a lot of catching up to do. I figure that I would just do another list of things that happened to me, except I do want to talk about a few things that have happened somewhat recently. First of all, back in November my sister Summer had her seventh child Marshall Kenney Dutson. He is an adorable, chunky boy and I just love him so much. The picture I have of him isn't current, so you can't really see how big he's become. Marshall is number 14 out of all the grandkids. Next on the list is about two weeks ago, on January third, my sister Chelsey had her first baby. His name is Diesel Dean Ogden. Oh boy, he is such an adorable baby. It's so nice to have a nephew who only lives two minutes away, so I definitely get to see him a lot. Diesel is number 15 out of all the grandkids. Now, while I'm on a roll with these babies I also want to mention that my sister Lindsey is pregnant, but isn't finding out what the sex is, and also my sister Britt is pregnant with another little girl! It's so very exciting to have so many babies in the family and by June I will have 17 nephews and nieces! WOWZA
Now that I'm done with baby news, pretty much all I've done with my life is started a new semester of school, in which I'm taking Human Anatomy as a prerequisite for the Nursing program. All I can/want to say about this class is it is the hardest thing I've ever done in my entire life. It is most definitely not a piece of cake. Besides school I've been working, living on my own with my friends, gone on some crazy adventures, and some other things. I'll make another post that contains all of the things I've done since April so
that this post won't be super long.

Anyways, I'll try my best to keep this old thing updated and I'm sure I'll have some exciting things to post up in the future. Also, these two pictures of my latest nephews are from when they were just newborns. They've already changed a lot, especially Marshall who's grown a lot bigger. I'll have to get some recent pictures to put on here.


This is baby Marshall. Look at cute he
is!


This is baby Diesel. Look at that adorable face!
