June 2026

Alex's online faculty had a two-day convention. Alex threw a surprise retirement party for his boss, Wade Egan (same man who hired Alex 21 years ago).
Helping Given and Grace clean their new apartment (and have some baby time)
Chatelain reunion in Utah! We all stayed in a "home base" and met up for various activities throughout each day. Here's Wally's first introduction to baby Graham.
First time meeting great gma and great gpa Dutson (at a park in Draper)
After the park, we spent a little time at Boondocks while waiting for Given and Grace to finish a visit with some friends. Verity went bowling while Alex and Hayden watched the finals.
Our family was in charge of the next day's activities. We started with a "fairy hunt" at Gardner Village in West Jordan.

So good to have Connie and Dallin with us all the way from Colorado Springs
Given and Max having a conversation
Lunch at Wheeler Farm






Funny thing - a Wheeler farm worker told Hayden to go ahead and jump on this tractor and drive it around the farm. Hayden hopped up but had no idea how to drive it. Before he could figure it out, another employee came out all made and told him to get down and that he shouldn't be up there. Who knows why the first guy told him he could?
The family waiting for Hayden to take them on a ride.
Great Gma Hatch meeting Graham
and Great Gpa Hatch taking Graham to the altar of sacrifice ;)

Party at the church that night (dinner and fun games). All the great grandkids who were at the reunion so far.

A few of the Chatelains made it out mini golfing that night
The next day we took the Trax and the bus to downtown Salt Lake to tour Church sites
