Sterling's 1st Swimming Lesson

Sterling loves taking a bath, so we thought since it is so hot here he might love to go play in the pool. He didn't quite know what to think of the pool. Over time though we're sure he will learn to love swimming.

Future OCC Student...

Here is Sterling sporting his college choice. We hope he goes to his parent's alma-mater. He would be in the class somewhere around 2028! WOW!

Baseball Outfit

Sterling was looking cute in his Cardinal outfit and hat. Just wanted to share the pictures with you. If you are not a Cardinal fan, don't be upset with Sterling because the Cards are the only team he has.....(Payton, if you are reading this, remember what we talked about???)

Sterling's Tractors

Sterling loves his John Deere tractors. He can't wait until he gets his first ride. Anybody know someone with a John Deere tractor??? We decorated his room with some of this fabric from Wal-Mart.

Youth Trip

Here are a couple of pictures from a youth trip Kacie was able to attend. Sunday evening there was a 'Jesus Revolution' meeting in downtown Bangkok. A group from the Philippines led the meeting. There are two more scheduled meetings; one in July and one in September. The goal of these meetings is to encourage the youth of Thailand to be strong in their faith and witness. The boys are Bond, Michael, & Wat, and the girls are Suay, Ploy, Am, and Jume. There were two other girls who went but are not in these pictures, Brently and Breck.

Church Clothes

Kacie thought Sterling looked like his grandad Jerry and uncle Kyle in his shirt.

Bed Time

After the wrestling match, Sterling wanted to cuddle with Mr. Pig, to make sure there were no hard feelings. It was really cute.

The Wrestling Match

Last night Sterling was practicing his wrestling moves with Mr. Pig. He really enjoyed the competition. We were entertained and thought you would enjoy also.

A happy smile

Sterling usually just looks at the camera like it's a really strange object, but last night he thought his mom and dad were so funny, he was laughing out loud!

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day Sterling got his mom a new bracelet...how sweet :)

Awards Ceremony

This was the awards ceremony at the end of camp. Kids got awards for MVP and best attitude in the 10-12 age group and the 13-15 age group. Ploy, in the picture above, came to church today, along with a few others that have never come before! Praise God!

Sterling's first basketball

The Chase Family at Camp

The weather has been great for basketball camp, so Sterling has gotten to be there for both days. He really loves being outside and watching the kids.

Nick and Luke's Hoop Time Basketball Camp

These were the signs we had up advertising for basketball camp- they were really cool!

Fun at camp

Each camper gets a basketball and a jersey when they register. Here are two girls, age 10, at the camp today.

Basketball camp

This was one of the drills they did at camp. Luke is teaching and his friend Air was translating.

Two handsome guys

The guys in their hats

We have lots of hand-me-down's from Sterling's cousin, Zion, and this hat is one of the cutest! Him and his dad love their hats...and yes, Luke cut his hair, for those of you who didn't know yet.

This is Ex, a Thai kid who loves Sterling. He always comes and talks to him and plays with him. All the kids call Sterling "nong ling" which, in Thai, means little monkey!
