thanksgiving Part II

This post will be a quick one. On Friday I had to be to work by 9:30 am that would normally not be a big deal but considering I went to sleep after 3:30 am. I got to work and we were still busy. But I really enjoyed it. I worked till 4. I made dinner and then Dugan and I decided to go see the movie New Moon. I wasn't really planning on seeing it till it came out on video but Dugan and I were looking for something fun to do. Then we came home and went to bed so I wouldn't be tired for my 6:00 am shift the following morning. Well 6:00 am came Pretty Early. I was still in the I love work mood but I wasn't feeling good. I had been fighting a baby cold the past few days but Saturday morning it was bad. I only worked for about 5 hours and then came home and Slept. After my nice long nap I worked on homework for a few hours. I had a friends B-day party so D and I went to celebrate with her. On Sunday we went to hang out with our friends the Clarks who we hadn't seen since Halloween. We had another B-day to Celebrate with another friend so we went to do that and then came back to the Clarks so we could play a few games. Oh Man form 9:00 pm on I just kept wishing the weekend didn't have to be over but it was coming to an end.

Thanksgiving Weedend Part One

We have had a wonderful holiday. It started by spending all Wednesday evening in the Kitchen baking pies and rolls. I ended up with 1 French Silk Pie, 2 Pumpkin Pies and rolls. Dugan and I stayed up late hanging out. We slept in and then headed to my sister Ashten's house. When we got there Dugan found a nice little spot on the couch to kick back and watch football while my dad and I took my nephew Liam to the park across the street. We also decided to bring my sister's dog Shady to get her out of the house to let my sis, Chris (my bil), and my mom finishing getting dinner ready. We had a wonderful time at the Park. We got back a little before dinner was ready. We sat down as a family and had a wonderful meal. We spent a little more time together. Dugan and I had to leave because I had to work at 8:30pm. I know Crazy the mall I work at was opening at 9:00pm on Thanksgiving night. I worked till about 1:30am. After work I came home and woke up Dugan. We kind of have a tradition. We aren't big on the deals but there is something fun about being part of the madness. Dugan decided that it would be worth going to Old Navy because when you spend $20.00 you would get a free copy of Lago Rock Band which is a $60.00 game. We layered up in clothing and headed to Old Navy. We got there a little before 2am the store wouldn't open till 3am. We talked to the people around us. Most of them had come from ToysRus. At about 2:30am they handed out wristbands to for copies of free Lago Rock Band to the first 45 people. Once the doors opened at 3am we were in and out in less then 10 minutes. We went home and went to sleep.

My Little Mr. Mr. turns two

This is my little Mr. Mr. I am not sure where this came from or why I call him that but every time I tickle him I say My little Mr. Mr. Anyway aka Liam my adorable nephew at his Birthday Party.

He LOVES Cars

My beautiful little sis helping Liam blow out his candles.
Liam eating his left overs from his trip to Mc Donald's for Lunch and Auntie Char
Looks like Liam found my Fav pair of heels. I guess he is a fan of Jessica Simpson shoes too.
I think Red is defiantly his color
Here is my Papa Joggling. He use to do it with his black rolled socks when I was little. Who new dad would bring the entertainment.
We had a wonderful time celebrating the joy of Liam in our Lives. He is growing so fast and such a blessing in my life. I Love you my little Mr. Mr.

Will be Missed

This dear man is a Family Friend of Dugan's Family.


Obituaries

Damon Monson Faust

(March 16, 1963 - November 6, 2009)


"Everything is as it should be” is what our dearest husband, father,grandfather, son, brother, and friend would always say. Dr. Damon Monson Faust, 46, was killed in a tragic car accident on September 20,2009, while traveling with his wife near Reno, NV. Born March 16, 1963 in Salt Lake City UT. Damon married his beloved wife Barbara Coultas in the Salt Lake Temple on April 21, 1990 and later settled in Mapleton, UT to raise 10 children.

Damon was preceeded in death by father Delano (Carole Ann) Faust and sister Karie Leigh. He is survived by his mother Lani (Keith) Brown; beloved wife Barbara Coultas;10 treasured children: Anairon (Alissa), Alia (Doug) Rose, Augustus, Aspen, Amy, Aleta, Autumn, Ammon, Ailsa, and Aaralynn; six grandchildren: Celeste, Heather,Ava, Aiden, Finn, and Asher; brother Brett (Barbie) Faust; sisters Aleta Hallman and Cyd (Gene) Horne.

As a child, Damon was well loved and adventurous. He enjoyed cooking for his family, loved music and was a true friend to those closest to him. He was never one to miss an opportunity to gain wisdom and life experience.

After graduating early from Provo High School Damon joined the Armed Forces at age 17 and served his country in the Navy from 1980 to 1984.

While aboard the USS Saratoga he specialized in Fighter Jet Mechanics. Upon discharge from the Navy Damon attended Utah Valley State College and Brigham Young University. He later completed post-graduate work at Texas Chiropractic College where he fulfilled his life-long ambition of becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic.

Damon loved the outdoors and was an award winning Dutch oven chef. He enjoyed life to its fullest and chose to be a father first. His hobbies always included his beloved children: fishing, hunting, four-wheeling and scouting with his sons, making homemade root beer for every Christmas,inventing silly songs for the little girls to dance to (Sister Power!,Side Saddle Rider, and For He is Full of Good Jell-O) and taking each daughter out on a “daddy daughter date” to have one on one time with him.

Damon was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and served faithfully in many capacities including Young Men's Leader, Elder's Quorum President, Home Teacher, and Ward Mission Leader. When standing for true and righteous principals he was immovable and was ever watchful over and kind to the women and children in his life. He was a missionary to the core – always visiting with people and sharing his testimony with strangers and friends alike.

A “bucket list” was recently discovered which included some of the following: to serve a full time mission with Barbara, hike to the top of Mount Timpanogos, see all his children married in the temple and all his sons serve missions, rank in the World’s Dutch Oven Cook-off and run 10 marathons 4 of which he already completed. Damon and his daughter Amy won 1st place in the Carbon County Cook-off which qualified Damon for the World’s Cook-off to be held in March 2010.

We know every step of his short life was spent doing the things he loved. One of Damon’s most remarkable gifts was his ability to find the good in any situation. He lived his life drawing on a deep well of contagious optimism, and was known for his positive attitude and constant smile. His memory will be cherished until we meet again. "Everything is as it should be."

The family will receive visitors on Wednesday November 11th, 2009 - 6:00 to 8:00 pm at the Wheeler Mortuary in Springville. Funeral Services will be held Thursday November 12th, 2009 - 11:00 am at the Mapleton Stake Center 970 N 400 E. Interment will immediately follow the funeral service at the Evergreen Cemetery in Springville.

Financial contributions are gratefully accepted in Damon’s name at: Zions Bank, Provo University Office, 1060 North University Avenue Provo, UT 84604 - (801) 370-4434.
