Chad and Casey have welcomed a second set of triplets into their family! Miles, Maxwell, and Emerson join big sister Roslyn and big brothers Henry, Cooper, and Jack in the Stone family. Chad and Casey had not originally planned on having a large family, but they are really enjoying it, and the children are thriving from having a close knit family.

Casey recently entered a local cooking contest. The theme of the contest was easy recipes for families. Casey entered her Taco Casserole recipe and took 2nd place. Her recipe will be put into a cookbook along with the 1st and 3rd place from her contest, and other 1st-3rd place winners from contest during the year.
