October

October was a busy month for the LeChem's but we had a lot of fun! Here is what we were up to.

BYU Football Games

We started with a trip down to Las Vegas for the UNLV game. It was a lot of fun with the entire Davis family coming down as well. Mo loved to cheer the Cougars on.

Our friend Andrew George in action. If you ask Mo what Andrew's number is he will happily reply "Eight-Eight"

Tolerating some obnoxious (and drunk) UNLV fans sitting right behind us. This was Mo's reaction.

But he was still cool enough to give them a high-five! Such good sportsmanship.

We also got tickets to the TCU game, but as you can tell by Mo's face it was tough to find anything to cheer about in this game.

Hogle Zoo

Mo's cousin Tucker turned 2 this month and celebrated by taking a trip to the zoo. Mo loves animals and really loved seeing them in person and making all the sounds he practices every single day.

Uncle Derek's Football Games

Jason's little brother Derek had another great year of football and Mo loves being right up close to the action during his games.

Halloween!!

Mo went as a Missionary this year! After about 15 minutes this is the only picture we could get of Mo in front of our house. What a goof!

Gettin' the goods!

Knock...Knock...

Fire Truck!!! Wooooooooo...Wooo...Wooo...Woooooooo!

Mo totally loves fire trucks and makes the sound of one whenever he hears, sees, reads about or even thinks about one. Orem's fire department had an open house with a few demonstrations and all the trucks out to look at. While he wasn't a big fan of the actual fire demonstration he still was in heaven surrounded by ladders, trucks and firemen gear. Here are a few pics from our outing.

Cotton candy and fire trucks=a very happy Mo!

I'll take the black one with the bucket please...

Coolest. Kid. Ever.

July!

July was a fun month for our family. The biggest event was of course the 4th of July and Mo enjoyed all the fun stuff we did that day!

Waking up early to see the ballooons.

Two buds watchin' the balloons.

Here come the fire trucks!

Chillin' with Grammy.

What a goof!

Getting ready for the show to start!

After a long day cant say we blame him!

The other big thing in July was taking a trip over the 24th weekend to visit Jason's family in Salmon Idaho. It was nice to get away from things for a bit and Salmon is for sure the place to do it. No joke, only 2 stop lights in the whole town! Mo did have a great time up there and Jason loved getting back to his "roots". A big thanks to Jason's grandparents as well as his aunt and uncle for letting us stay with them and have such a great time!



Throwing rocks in the Salmon River.

Playing on the playground and trampoline at Aunt Sandra's house.

Mo's favorite part had to be riding on Grandpa's lawnmower. He and Jason must have done 10 laps around the yard on it. He didnt want to get off! Jason tried to convince me we needed a riding mower at our house, but we would for sure need a lot more grass to justify one, but seeing the look on Mo's face certainly made it tempting.

After mowing the grass it was only fitting Mo would test it out with his golf swing. He is always asking to "Dolf, Dolf!" (Hasnt quite got the "G" sound down)

In the back yard of Jason's grandparents they have an amazing pond and fountain with fish. We are just glad Mo didnt go for a swim with them. Many a grandkid has I was told! His favorite part was getting to throw them some food.

Beautiful flowers and lily pads on the pond.

This was the craziest thing we saw in Salmon! It is a guy named "Dugout Dick" and he built all these caves to live in. It was incredible to see how he used what we would consider junk to build all that. Check out this article for more about the guy. Pretty incredible!

Finally Jason's cousin just bought a house and is raising chickens. Mo and their little girl had fun wathcing them run around, but that is something I'd never consider having at our house no matter how cute Mo was with them!

Zermatt, Goats & The Miracle of Life!

A few weeks ago we went up to the Zermatt Resort in Midway. After brunch we decided to walk around a bit and noticed a fenced off part with goats in it. Mo loves animals so he went straight for it. Just as we finished feeding them and were about to leave one of the goats started to yelp and scream out loud. We couldn't figure out what was happening until she turned around and we saw she was having a baby! Seriously! Right there before our eyes this momma goat gave birth to two babies. When one of the hotel employees came up to see we told him they should name one of them "Mo" so next time anybody is up there check and see if they did! It was an interesting day and again provided some great pictures of Mo.

More Mo

If you are like us, you just cant get enough of this little man. He is just the most fun to watch as he plays and learns new things each day. These pictures are taken in the back yard of my grandparents. They have a hill on one side and Mo loved running down it along with his cousins. It was pretty funny to watch him try to stay balanced while going down. These pictures tell you how much he enjoyed it!

Ready. Set. Go!
