Its hard to believe that Macky's mission has almost come to an end. We have been given his release date of JUNE 29th!!! We are so excited for him to return home, yet saddened that he has to leave such AMAZING people behind!!<br />

This is the Pott's family - I personally want to express my gratitude to them for being so good to my son. He has expressed many times in his emails home just how much he loves and appreciates them. As a mom, when you send your son (or daughter) on a mission you are constantly praying for their protection and safety. And that people will be placed in their path that will also watch over them and make them feel loved and at home. That is what this family has done for Macky and I thank them for that. Hopefully one day I will get to thank them in person:) <br />

Since my yelling days are over - haha Thanks to a paralyzed vocal chord (which is a post I will save for another time) - I had been saying all season that I needed to purchase a cow bell. Carly found one for me and on our way to the game we whipped in and bought it. It sure came in handy and I absolutely loved having it!! I miss not being able to yell and encourage my boy/team but this will have to do:) After all these years of Tim being a coach this is actually my 1st pic with a championship trophy. I know first hand the sacrifice that is made by the coaches and their families during a football season. Lots of hours are spent and there are many sleepless night!! I am super happy for my hubby and the Mustangs!!!

Once again I am super behind on my blogging. This special girl celebrated her 11th birthday the end of October!!! I really can't believe that she is 11 already. Time is getting away from me. It's hard to believe that she has been a part of our eternal family for almost 7 years. I am thankful for the opportunity to be her mother and I know that Heavenly Father guided us to each other. She is my little helper - she loves being an aunt - she loves to sing - she is beautiful inside and out!!!

Here is a little birthday tribute to these two kids of mine. Their birthdays are 2 days a part and what a blessing both of them are to our family. It is a treat to have a daughter who grows up to be one of your best friends. She is wise beyond her years and a example to me and I love spending time with her. I only wish she lived closer:( Happy Birthday Sis - We Love YOU</div>

Nate was about 2 1/2 when this picture was taken. Where has all the time gone?? He had a special birthday this year - Turning 12 is a pretty big deal!! He is super excited to receive the priesthood and pass the sacrament in church. When the Bishop presented him in our ward to be made a Deacon he asked Nate to bare his testimony. I think I held my breath the entire time because I was so nervous for him. It was beautiful and heart felt. I was so proud of him. I am blessed to be his mom. He continues to teach and stretch me as a parent and I am grateful for that. His love is unconditional and he has a very tender, forgiving heart. There has been a couple of times where I have asked myself...."Why can't I remember his birth weight'? And then it dawns on me....He's adopted!!! He had my heart the first time I laid eyes on him:) Happy Birthday Nate Dawg - We Love YOU</div>

I have to do a little tribute to this guy!! We have been blessed with an amazing son-in-law. I always tell him he is my favorite!! Nicholas was under a great amount of pressure trying to get ready to take the DAT for dental school. He studied and studied and studied to the point that it was making him physically sick. Well, after much studying, prayer, fasting and priesthood blessings he took it. I went down to the Valley and surprised them with a motel room and a little get away for when he was finished. It is like a 6 hour test and they both had been under so much pressure. Carly was a trooper trying to keep kids quiet while he was studying or playing single parent while he was gone. He ended up scoring a <b>21</b> which is amazing!!! So now we just wait to see what dental school they end up at. He has received quite a few letters from schools to set up interviews - hopefully they will know more in December!!! <br />

Just a few pics of my (our) work - I really do enjoy what I do - at times it is a lot of pressure but there is always a feeling of accomplishment. This is a casket spray that we did for my sister-in-law Kalee's sister Valee Smith - It was a privilege to put this together for such an amazing person. With casket sprays I always feel like we have divine/heavenly help.

Tim and I came across this crazy sour gum in the shape of an Easter egg - so we put it in the kids Easter basket - well - it ended up being crazy, crazy, crazy sour!! So, we had a contest with all the kids to see who could chew it the longest. Mary opted out - chicken!!!! The little guys didn't do to bad - Nate actually won - and as you can see Carly couldn't hack it!!! What a wimp Carly:)<br />

"Aim high, but do not aim so high that you totally miss the target. What really matters is that he will love you, that he will respect you, that he will honor you, that he will be absolutely true to you, that he will give you the freedom of expression and let you fly in the development of your own talents. He is not going to be perfect, but if he is kind and thoughtful, if he knows how to work and earn a living, if he is honest and full of faith, the chances are you will not go wrong, that <strong>you</strong> will be <strong>immensely happy."</strong> Gordon B. Hinckley<br />

I am going to miss this beautiful lady. How grateful I am for her love and example. I have been blessed with amazing Aunts throughout my life and she is one of them. She truly is a virtuous woman. I have admired her for years and appreciate the things that she has taught me. When I was younger we had the opportunity to have her family live with us for a few months. I remember her always being so helpful to my mom as they lived in our home. She put herself in charge of the laundry!!! Who would volunteer to do that, especially for so many people??? She loved it and stayed up on it everyday. She was a quiet lady, I never heard her raise her voice at anyone. Oh how I wish I could be more like that:) She was constantly serving others. I was a recipient of her service many times. When we lived in Heber (the first time) I taught a singing - dancing group called Sunshine Generation. One time after a practice at the school gym I got into my car and a beautiful little girls dress and little boys vest (that matched) were hanging up in my car with a note that said "I love you and appreciate all that you do". I asked around and called different people and no one confessed to leaving it there. It was a few months later while sitting in Sacrament Mtg that my Aunt Val walked in with her family. As they shuffled into the pew I noticed that my cousin Nicole had a beautiful Christmas dress on with a sash made out of the same material as the dress and vest that was left in my car!!!! I knew right then that she was the one:) After the meeting I went up to her and gave her the biggest HUG and told her I knew she was the one who made those things for my kids. She just smiled and said "I don't know what you are talking about". She was amazing that way - always quietly giving of her time. Oh how I wish I could be more like that!!!! My Uncle Jack has been our home teacher for about 9 years now. She would faithfully come with him as his companion. They took such an interest in our kids, constantly asking about their interests and how they did in the game the night before or how they were doing in school. Oh how I wish I could be more like that!!! I admired her desire to serve the Lord. She was committed to attending the Temple every week and doing genealogy. Someday I hope to be able to do that!!!! One time in Sacrament Mtg we were sitting behind them, as we started to sing the sacrament hymn, she turned around, patted my leg and said "thank you for sitting behind me, I love hearing you sing". She made me feel so special that day!! Oh I want to be more like that!! I had the privilege and honor of making flower arrangements for her funeral. I felt a lot of stress and pressure because I wanted the flowers to be perfect. I worried and stressed over her casket spray. Who would have thought that designing flowers can strengthen your testimony. I know that Heavenly Father loves all of his children and is happy when they return home to him. I have felt his love and spirit many times as I have arranged funeral flowers. And this past weekend was no different, there was a beautiful spirit in my shop for hours on end. Aunt Val was with us a few times, I know, because I felt her love!!!! I am so thankful for the gospel, for the things I KNOW and for eternal families!!! Love you Aunt Val!!<br />
<br />
When I grow up - I want to be just like YOU:)<br />

Macky called us yesterday morning from the airport - it was such a treat to hear his voice. We put him on speaker phone and all of us were able to visit with him. You could definitely see, hear and feel the hand of the Lord in his behalf. He bore his testimony to us in Spanish before he hung up and it was amazing!! It was one of those moments for me where I was so overcome with gratitude. Grateful for him and his desire to serve the Lord. Grateful to be his mother. Grateful for the missionary program and the blessings that come to families because of it. Grateful for the growth that has come to Macky in just 6 weeks. Grateful for the Gift of Tongues. Grateful to know that Heavenly Father is mindful of ALL of his children. Grateful to feel his love daily in my life:) <br />
<br />
Macky we LOVE you and are soooo HAPPY for you to FINALLY get to MA!!!!<div style='clear:both; text-align:NONE'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6465544928269751932.post-58347221162431216442013-07-31T22:13:00.001-07:002013-07-31T22:13:51.562-07:00Elder Joseph Mckay Slade -Massachusetts Boston Mission <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMIA-d2aiwbW6CHy9lvBDsutj0NRx_svrtTgkQKGDcg1XdjQkpkG3ekoxAA5Tc7UM_1Bir05bL0L88MHn0lUWD17_nBpZfcE8KtmcXkuV4krfcpJ8trUTo4P53tWgbWkaUw4IeI3Jr_Hg/s1600/IMG_7948.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMIA-d2aiwbW6CHy9lvBDsutj0NRx_svrtTgkQKGDcg1XdjQkpkG3ekoxAA5Tc7UM_1Bir05bL0L88MHn0lUWD17_nBpZfcE8KtmcXkuV4krfcpJ8trUTo4P53tWgbWkaUw4IeI3Jr_Hg/s320/IMG_7948.JPG" /></a><br />

We had root beer floats and Brocks favorite...Ice Cream Cake - yum!!<br />
<br />
This kid is such a blessing and I appreciate the roll that he plays in our family. He was my baby for a long time and it is hard to believe that 16 yrs have gone by so quickly. Through the years we have teased him and called him Nephi, he truly exemplifies Nephi like qualities and I appreciate his obedience and desire to do whats right!!! Happy Birthday Brock We Love YOU <br />

I needed to blog about this boy finally leaving on his mission.<br />
He has been anxiously waiting for July 17th to get here.<br />
We took him to Sky Harbor and said our goodbyes and boy it was TOUGH!<br />
You are dealing with your own emotions and it is a tender thing to witness your children say their own goodbyes - it was really difficult for ALL but very grateful for his willingness, worthiness and example!!!<br />
