Derek's Summer Sports Adventures

Derek's had another great summer in Sports. His baseball team, the Padres, won the City Championship on Friday, ending their season undefeated !! He made a great hit in the top of the 6th inning which earned him the "game ball" so he was pretty excited about that !!

Today Derek took second place in the Provo Freedom Festival Jr. Golf tournament. Now he has a few weeks to rest, football starts in August !!

Yampa River Trip

Last week we spent 5 days rafting the Yampa river in Northern Colorado and Utah. It was a great trip with good weather, good company and good rapids. It was fun having the 4 brothers there along with their "lovely" brides !







Grandpa Chem still going strong at 79 !! The below picture really doesn't do this Class 4 rapid called Warm Springs justice, just take my word for it----it was huge !!


It was weird for us to just have one boy to look out for on this trip, Derek had a great time though and even got a few lessons in rowing from Grandpa and Dad.

Brand New Bloggers !!

We have so much fun looking at our married kids blogs we decided to get in on the action too! Although our lives are really not that exciting, hopefully we'll be able to come up with a few things to post in the coming months so stay tuned !!

Grandsons Are Great !!!

Who needs girls anyways? We LOVE our 3 Grandsons !!!

Trey just turned 3 and loves Thomas the Train and riding his scooter.

Kaden. . . alias "Kaden Kong" is 7 months old and will be the football player of the bunch for sure. Jeff and Julie are living in California while Jeff attends Podiatry school. They are doing great and are enjoying the "Bay Area."

Morris Owen LeCheminant, also known as "Baby Mo" is 2 months old. He is starting to give us big smiles now which of course makes us smile! It's great having Jason and Ari close by. Jason continues to work at Western Community Bank and attends UVSC. We look forward to their Sunday visits.

Elder LeChem

Hard to believe it's been a year since Nic left for the Kentucky Louisville Spanish Speaking mission. He is doing great and having many wonderful experiences. Currently serving right in Louisville, he was really excited about this transfer because he has been hoping to go to the "Louisville Slugger" museum. (On a P-Day of course).
