One of the mottoes for BYU is "Enter to Learn, Go Forth to Serve." The other night we saw a T-shirt that said, "Enter to Learn, Go Fourth... and Eighteen." In case you didn't know, we barely won the game thanks to an AMAZING play on fourth and eighteen.
Thanksgiving was full of family, food and fun. We went to Salmon and visited Grandma Bills at the ranch. We have the same tradition as the Griswold family and hiked in the mountains and cut down a Christmas tree. We did remember to bring a saw!
On to December: We went to the Mormon Tabernacle Christmas concert with Mom and Dad and Kent and Mavis. We really enjoyed the King's Singers and cheering on our brother-in-law Barry in the orchestra. After that, we survived finals and enjoyed going home for the break.
January. New Year's resolution: take more pictures and update our blog more often. Yeah - doing great so far! We went to the Hillams and celebrated our nephew Neal's 12th birthday. We love those kids.
February. We celebrated Jennifer's 23rd birthday and her family came down and partied with us. This semester has been a difficult and fun one. Jennifer is enjoying her floral design class and made this Japanese design in her lab. Clay is taking a ski instructor class and got to ski every Friday at a very low price. Here is a smashing video of his progress.
Clay is still working at BioMedics Plasma Center as a phlebotomist. He enjoys getting to know people as he's sticking them with a 15 gauge needle. Jennifer is still working at the library working with the online database and they are still paying her. She is excited to graduate in August.
This has been the fourth semi-annual update of the Ogden family blog. Comments and pictures have been provided by the members of the family. We hope you look forward to the next post whenever that may be. Don't give up on us. We love you guys!

Hooray for the semi-annual update!! It was so fun to see how you two are doing. Jenn- your floral arrangement looks awesome! I hope this semester treats you well. Graduation is getting so close!! Looking forward to more updates. :)
Yeah!! I'm so excited, but why wasn't I mentioned in any of those good times? Hello, can you say best Christmas break ever with your favorite sister? Maybe you'll remember next time. I'm so glad for the update, though. Sweet jump, very impressive. I hope it got you an A! Keep up the good posts, and tell Jenn she can send me some flowers anytime.
I forgot to tell you, I love the signs for the game. Hilarious!!
Wow! What an update! I see that you found my blog...or maybe I told you...I can't remember who I have and haven't told. :) Your flower arrangement looks great! That'd be such a fun class, I'm jealous!! I guess you'll just have to make my arrangements for me! :) That's awesome you went to the christmas concert. We were there too.
Dang Clay, so many updates it's almost like seeing your life in real time. We want t-shirts that say "U cant spell suck without the U".
Wow - you guys really packed a lot into your update. Thanks for the pictures. I just hope Grandma keeps on your case so we can have more posts in the future. Good luck with the rest of the semester.
Love you guys.
