Still learning!

Ok friends and family, I am trying to get into the Christmas spirit on my blog but I do not know how to move and navigate items on my page the way I would like so please just bear with me, I am trying my best and learning by trial and error.
Today was a very great day at church, my heart was touched by so many testamonies. I feel so lucky to be a part of such an amazing ward amongst so many strong people. Today a little girl maybe three years old got up and said with such confidence,"I know the Savior died for me" she melted my heart and I was so greatful for her little spirit. I was also touched by this teenage boy who made a goal last January to share his testamony every month at testamony meeting and looking back at the past year and realizing how his example has affected many people in our ward. Through him he has influenced his leaders and his peers to share their testamonies and also as the year progressed his two little sisters have followed in his footsteps in sharing their testamonies. I am so greatful for strong youth like him who are such an example to me in my life, what a great missionary he will be! Another man in our ward got up and shared his testamony today and it was such a tender moement because when he and his family first moved in our ward he never even came to church and now he is a primary teacher and he shared his testamony for the first time ever today, it was so cool to see how he and his family has grown over time. I am so greatful for the gospel in my life and the strenghth I feel from it everyday, I just cant imagine my life without it and I am so glad I dont need to.
Today was another milestone in my life because it was the first time my son passed the sacrament in church and it I felt like I was floating on air I was so proud of him! It is so cool to have another priesthood holder in our home and I hope Jordan will always treasure that blessing and honor that privilege in his life.
Yesterday I took my two daughters shopping for Chrismas because it is hard to surprise them now that they are teenagers or to get things that fit properly, any how they were such troopers to try on anything I gave them and after 3 hours when we went to make some purchases and check out my debit card for some reason was declined. I was so stressed out and disapointed that this was happening to me but my girls were so positive and didnt even get mad or upset. I really felt bad but I was so greatful for my girls who were understanding and helped me to lighten up, thankyou Taesha and Lindsey you are such good examples to me. I love you!
I am so thankful for all my kids and I love them all so much, I love it when they teach me so much. Megan that means you too, you are missed and you are a great example to me too.
Well I geuss this has turned into such a long blog post but its been a while so I hope I didnt bore you all. My heart is filled with so much gratitude and I just needed to express it! Merry Christmas to all and enjoy the season!

Herold the Hero!

Today I just want to share my thoughts about a great person. Harold Huber, what a great man. He is such a funny, kind and silly person who really knew how to enjoy life, he was always smiling and seemed like he was always doing something for someone else. I knew this man as a teenager and I remember thinking what a cute couple he and his wife were, and the two of them loved Halloween which automatically made it on the cool list for me. I spent some time in their home babysitting and being around the whole family and they were always laughing and having fun. I went to youth conferences and ward activities and Harold always made things so much funner. He was such a goofy man in such a cool kind of way. Harold was also such a sincere sentimental person and I always loved it when he shared his testamony of the gospel because I could always feel the spirit so strong. It was a sad day when Herald and his family moved out of the Lindon first ward because I knew when ever I came home to visit they would not be there, I would not see how they all grew up(even though I believe the Huber clan will always be kids at heart)and how theyre lives changed. Now many many years have gone by and a few months ago I discovered Yo and Herald on facebook, I was so excited to connect with them and read about how theyre family had grown. I havnt been the best at corraspondance but it has been fun to read about Yo and Herald's busy life and house remodeling and grandkids and ward activities and vacations and such and once again now that I am an adult I am still inspired by them. Two people I dearly love and respect. This week I was hit by a bombshell that I didnt really think would have such an effect on me but it did. I discovered Herald has gone on to do a greater work for our Father in Heaven and even though I know this is the way the Lords plan works and I know Herald will be amazing at what ever the Lord needs him for it has hit me like a brick wall. I wish I would have told him what an amazing person I thought he was and how he had such an impact on me in my youth, I wish I would have told him I thought his remodel projects looked awesome and I wish I would have wrote and told him and Yo how much I love them and how happy I was to be in touch with them again but I didnt. It's been a tough week but I wanted to write this in his honor and challenge myself to do better, tell those people I love and appreciate and try harder to follow their good examples. I love you Yolinda and John,Lanore, and Ryan and all my heart and prayers are with you. Thankyou all for sharing your husband and Dad with so many people through the years, he will be missed dearly. I am so thankful for the Lords plan so we can see him again.

First Snowfall!

Today I woke up to such a beautiful surprise, the first snowfall. There is just something about it that is so peaceful and sereal. Josh yells from the kitchen, "Mom, its hot chocolate weather!" out the window I see the 5 year old neighbor girl all bundled up and rolling, jumping and eating the snow without a care in the world:) It's joyfull! I am so thankful to live in such a beautiful place. I think it is time to pull out the heating blankets and let the holiday's begin!

The Three Stooges!

So today I just wanted to write about the boys in my life. I am so greatful for these three who make me laugh, smile, work, cry, play, clean, cook and make memories and I am greatful to do so. First there is my monkey, Joshua. He has such a joy for life and just loves to be loved! He loves adventure and makes the most out of being a kid. Then there's my handsome son Jordan. He has such a versatile personality and just loves to talk. He has grown up so much in the past six months and he never siezes to amaze me. I love his smile and it makes me giggle to think about how much he is obssesed with his hair:) Now my sweetheart! I truely am greatful for all that he does for me and our family. I am so thankful he is so patient with me and my short comings and I know I am not the easiest person to live with sometimes. He is such a unique person and it is so nice to know that he is always there to listen when I need someone to talk to. Thankyou my boys for being there to make me smile, hold my hand and treat me as a princess! I love you!

Pumpkins! Pumpkins! Pumpkins!

Well folks it is that time of year that my family and I look forward to every October. My favorite Uncle David invites us to his pumpkin patch for a campfire dinner and the opportunity to pick out our own pumpkin. It is always fun to see my kids each year search and scavage for just the right one, it is like a treasure hunt and everyone gets a treasure! We love going each year and enjoy the crisp cool air, beautiful sunsets, exotic animals and visiting with realatives. I am so greatful for this tradition that my dads bother started and I will treasure the memories we make there each year. I know some day he will probably sell his farm so I will just hold on to those opportunities as long as we can and always be greatful for Uncle David's kindness and generosity to our family!

Thats the end folks!

An amazing moement in my heart

Well I know its been a few months since I started this blog but I am still slowly learning how it all works. I am inspired by my daughter's blog who is away at college and trying to follow her good example. I had the most amazing experience at church today while in sacrement meeting. I began to think of all the walking miracles in our ward and how blessed we have been. I realize so many families have been challenged and tested in many ways and it is so amazing to me that I am surrounded by so many strong and faithful people. I am so humbled and strenghthened by their faith and strength. Through all the obstacles that have come they're way they are all still so strong in their faith and commitment to the Lord and in the world that we live in today that is truely amazing. I am so greatful to be a part of such an amazing gospel family and I am so greatful for the knowledge of the gospel and the comfort it gives me each day. I know that bad or tough things happen to good people but that doesn't mean the Lord is not aware of us or watching over us, sometimes maybe he is just trying to strengthen us or use us as a tool to touch others hearts but he loves us, all of us and that is so reassuring to me.
