May/Our House

This is a picture of one of the horses with her new colt for TAIYO! We're excited for you to come ride this summer!

These are some pictures of our house that we are renting from my dad. It is on a really pretty farm and we love it! The picture of the sunset is taken from our front yard- I LOVE summer sunsets!




Nelson has been eyeing every bite we take (particularly kyle's cheeseburger here) so we decided to try some rice cereal. He's not too great at eating it, but we've only tried twice.


These pics are from when we stopped in Keokuk to visit NTCC and Luke's family. Sterling and Blake had a blast together playing tackle football, cowboys and indians, chasing Granny's cats and exploring together.






This is when we stopped in North Platte, Nebraska. We went to the Buffalo Bill Museum, aka Fort Cody, but it was closed -- BOO!


This is Sterling and his two friends from MTI on the last day- Elisa and Jabez, who was from Australia.

Yeah! New Pictures!

We arrived in Colorado a few days ago and we've been attending a conference for missionaries returning home. It's been a GREAT week- very encouraging and uplifting for us. Here are some of pictures of our week here. The one of Sterling and Luke in the hot tub is from when we stayed in a hotel in Salina, Kansas on the way out here.




We stopped in St. Louis to visit Luke's family, as well as a church that supported us. We got to see Aunt Francie, Nana and Papa, Grandma and Grandpa Chase as well as Uncle Brian, Aunt Erin, Alexis, Ava and Aubrie. Sterling and Ava had a blast together. They were two peas in a pod- both very strong personalities!


This is at our new home. I don't have any other pictures of it yet, although I will soon! Everybody was wrestling- even Nelson!
