Just like Dad!

Brock wears a hat everyday when working and along with the hat is a pencil on his ear. Well Kamden put his work hat on the other night but it just wasn't complete until the pencil was behind her ear!

Beautiful Hair

My girls got so blessed to get their wonderful hair from their dad. Kamden got a lot of body and Aspen got such thick hair. About a month ago we got the girls haircut, Aspen just got 2 inches off and Kamden got 41/2 inches off. It is a place called Monkey Dooz. I love it because it costs the same as a regular Hair place but the kids get to sit in a cool car and watch a movie. Then they get a balloon and lollypop as well as sparkles in their hair. What more could a girl ask for??
This last picture I had to put in because it is just so Aspen. We were shopping and she came to show me the new hat she found. You just gotta love this girl.

Saying Goodbye!

Man I love these two! They are such great examples, I am so proud they are my parents. Elder and Sister Von Stetten Well my parents are in Africa! They have started their mission. We have recently had to say goodbye which is a pretty tough thing to do but it is for a good reason. They are serving a mission for our church for the Perpetual Education Fund. So they were called to the Southeast area of Africa. They are over about 7 or 8 different countries! Pretty exciting, we all can't wait to hear about the experiences they will be having. If any of you are not familiar with PEF, what they will be doing is helping people of Africa recieve funding for education. Such an awesome thing so that they can better provide for their families. They absolutely loved the MTC. My dad was asked to sing for the sunday Fireside. A pretty big deal to sing in front of 2300 missionaries! My parents are good friends with the president and his wife of the Provo MTC so she knew my dad can sing and asked him to do so. He was a little nervous but it was just so amazing. All of us kids got DVD copies and I have to say I just listen to it over and over, it is such a special keepsake for me. You can feel the spirit so strong. Here is the link if any of you would like to listen to it. http://www.divideasunder.org/africahelpers/comethoufount.html
I am so proud of him. He did so wonderfully. My mom with Cash! It is hard for me to think he will be 18 months to 2 years old when they get back! They change so much in that time. I know it is hard for her too, but she just can't dwell on itand she is okay. And now we all have skype and webcams so at least she will be able to see the changes! A last group shot.
Besides having to say goodbye to my parents we also had to say goodbye to their home. When they told me they were selling before they left I got very emotional and cried quite a bit. It is not the house I grew up in. I actually moved their when I was a sophmore in highschool. The reason it was so hard to say goodbye to the house was because that is where my kids memories are for going to Mamaw and Papaws house. I know where ever they live when they come back wonderful memories will be made it is just hard right now saying all of these goodbyes. Here is the back.Just a small glimpse of my Dads beautiful landscape. He always has taken such good care of the yard. We have lots of memories as us as teenagers running over bushes of making car tracks in the lawn when we were first driving. The reason they were so memorable was because of my Dads reaction to it all. Man those were some good times, well looking back they were, not so much when it happened! :)

Happy Birthday Mom!

My sister Brinn had a healthy baby Girl today. I think it is pretty awesome she came on my Moms B-Day. She was 6 pound 14 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. They named her Camilla Ann Rogers. Congrats Rogers family she is beautiful!
