Chayse turned 13 on November 4th before all the election business even started! It was her birthday first! I brought pizza and sunny D's to school at lunch. Her and her friends had fun with that. I think there were even a few kids who wished that they were Chayse's friend that day too. That following Friday, she had a few girlie friends over to paint nails, have taco salad & yummy ice cream cake and watch Get Smart! She was even serenaded by her dad and his hunting comrades the morning of her birthday. (Nate was in OR on his annual hunting trip... he didn't catch anything!)

Chayse is the sweetest girl I know. She loves life, she loves to make people happy, she sings all the time, she loves to play soccer and loves her soccer team. She loves the gospel and has a very strong testimony and she always wants to do what is right! Love you to pieces sweetheart!
