MADYSON-3 month old photos

I didn't get a chance to post any of these. Aunt Coleen took them while she was here in October...thanks so much! They are so adorable!

Life is just moving along great...!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at Rani and Ronnie's home with the Hauth's. Here we are with the "Great Grandparents" (Grandma Joyce, Grandpa Hauth & Bonnie).

We are almost settled in our new home...it's so great to have a house, especially one with a 2-car garage. The 3rd bedroom, where Madyson sleeps, also has a ton of storage space. So Brandon has his space for his hobby...and all his tools, and Maria has a space for her hobby and all her STUFF for stamping and scrapbooking...it is so great! The park across the street has been wonderful since our yard is not fenced in...yet. The kids love playing outside, seeing how it is almost December and still in the high 60's. It's just gorgeous. The best part is that Brandon's office is literally 3 miles away and only takes him about 5 minutes to commute. It's great, cause we get to have him home for lunch almost everyday. We all love it!

The kids are doing great. They all love the new house.

Kaden is so grown-up...4 years old and starting school on Monday, the 30th at the public Early Childhood School here, just 5 minutes from the house as well. He will be in the morning pre-K program from 8-11 am everyday. He's very excited and so is mom...just a little nervous too. Dad gets to drop him off and his way to work and then he gets to ride the bus to an elementary school to be picked up afterwards.

Sarah is also just growing so fast. She is now in the a twin bed under her brother. Yes, they got bunk-beds. They love them, but somehow they both still end up in mom and dad's bed somehow before the night's over. She absolutely loves playing with all her baby dolls and her little sister. She's way too smart for all of us. She loves to sing and dance to her fun kid songs...every morning!

Madyson is just as sweet as ever. She's 5 months old now and is just so much fun! She started eating cereal in the high chair and is still sleeping 7-8 hours at night...yeah! She also has very much enjoyed having her "own" room. She loves her bed and doesn't sleep well anywhere else.

We are enjoying are new ward. It is much bigger than our last couple wards, but everyone is so extremely friendly and welcoming. We haven't been given callings yet, so we'll be excited to see where we'll be serving soon. Brandon is going to be helping the stake out with the handcarts for the youth trek in March, but it's a temporary assignment. He's excited about it though.

We are very much looking forward to the Christmas holiday here in our home and hope everyone is doing well also. Love to all!

August Trip to Utah

We were all able to go to Utah at the end of August. Trevon, Brandon's brother, and his wife Coleen were sealed in the Draper Temple. It was so beautiful and we sure had a very enjoyable time. Aunt Coleen took these adorable pictures of Kaden & Sarah at the park. Thanks to Uncle Trevon, we were also able to go to the Seven Peaks water park for Kaden's 4th birthday celebration. He had such a great time, and even went down the big water slide with dad. We all had a great time!

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY KADEN!! He's so grown-up...crazy! He will be going to Kindergarten next year. He loves to play, play, play, watch movies, pretend he's any super hero, pirate, cowboy, or ninja turtle. He was so excited about all his neat gifts from the family, especially for the golf clubs he picked out himself from Grandma Joyce. They go everywhere he does if mom allows it, mostly because they are never really used as golf clubs, but something else, like a sword. His favorite foods are pizza, PB sandwiches and hamburgers.

Blessing of Madyson

Madyson Elizabeth Hauth
was blessed by her father, Brandon Glen Hauth,
on Sunday, July 5th in The Colony LDS Chapel.

It was a beautiful day celebrated with family and friends.
We were glad that Grandma Cook could be there, as well as
Aunt Erin and family. They weren't expected to make it, so we
were so happy. Grandma Joyce Hauth, Uncle Rod & Aunt Becky
Hauth were also able to come. We thank you all for your
support and love on this special day!!

MADYSON ELIZABETH HAUTH

BORN: TUES, JUNE 23RD
Frisco, Texas at 2:31 PM CST
6 POUNDS 12 OUNCES
20 INCHES LONG

We are so happy to welcome little baby Madyson into our family. She is such a sweet little baby. Kaden and Sarah are so happy she's finally here. Sarah wants to hold her all of the time. She doesn't look much like her siblings did. She has so much dark, brown hair. It's crazy! Mom is doing great and everything went just great for her first delivery outside of Utah. The Baylor Medical Center of Frisco, Texas was so great! We had a nurse named Liz that has been in the field for 33 years. She was absolutley amazing. What a wonderful, incredible, miracle to bring a new life to this earth. Welcome Madyson and thanks to all our family and friends!

Mother's Day Gift!

I have been meaning to post a picture of my awesome Mother's Day gift. Brandon made it himself, of coarse...and I just love it. I have used it almost everyday since I got it. Thanks Babe...love ya! (It's a cutting board if you can't tell:)

New "Temp" Job & Update

We are pretty excited! Brandon finally got a job...well it's temporary, but it's going to be full time for a couple of months and could become permanent. It's with a company that works on schools...he will be a superintendent for various projects going on this summer...mainly at Frisco High School, which isn't too bad of a drive either. He started yesterday and really has enjoyed it and likes the company a lot. We are so grateful and appreciate all the support from our wonderful family and friends!

I start my weekly appointments on Monday, June 1st...so this baby will be here soon. We are all very excited..especially Sarah..she tells me to "take the baby out, I want to hold it" all the time. She and Kaden, both, are very excited to have a new little sister. I am busy getting everything ready and chasing these two around. It'll be much easier when I'm not 8 months pregnant.

The summer is slowly starting here in Texas, but so far we have had beautiful weather and lots of rain. It has been very nice not to have super hot heat yet. I've been very grateful anyway. Brandon is now serving as the Executive Secretary at church , which means mom gets the kids ready and brings them to church on her own, but we're excited about it and know he'll really enjoy it. I am now in the primary presidency, as well as the music chairman. I get to play the organ during Sacrament meeting and the piano for choir. I enjoy it.

We are all happy and healthy and hope all is well for everyone!
