A Taste of India...Hailee's future career???



What a night of entertainment we had.
Uncle Chris came to stay the night and wanted to have Indian food for dinner. Heath and I had been to India Fusion awhile ago and decided to take him there. The food was great and even better-the entertainment. Every weekend they have live entertainment in the form of belly dancers.
Spencer was the first to spot our entertainment last night. His eyes were wide with curiosity and excitement. Then I told Hailee to turn around and she thought this 'Princess Dancer' was so great, she couldn't stop watching or talking about it after the girl left for a break. The bellydancer then came to our table and said Hi to us and told Hailee that if she ate all her chicken nuggets that she could clean her hands and come up on stage and dance with her the next time.
We kept talking to Hailee about it so she would be prepped for the big event and not get scared, and when the time came, she did so great!
It was so fun to see her up there with her hands on her head trying to shake her hips! It is not a crowded resturant but all the guests were cheering her on and clapping for her, it was so cute.
Even our waitress was so great with our kids, I think she's the other half of the reason Hailee ate her chicken nuggets.
We've been out to eat with kids before and I've just walked away wondering why I do that to myself, but last night was so fun! Both of our kids were so happy and well behaved, I was actually able to enjoy my meal...still the last one to eat, but it was still yummy!

This handsome young fellow is Six Months Old! I can't believe how fast it went. His stats at the dr.'s yesterday are
19 lbs 11 oz -down to the 95% (from 100)
I think he was 29 inches-97% So he seems to be thinning out just a wee bit, he might have lost one fat roll!
He is such a cutie! He loves to sit up and can sit by a basket of toys for long periods of time, which is so great for me! He also is working on scooting from a sitting position-it's pretty funny, he leans forward on his arms and scoots forward. He can move a couple of feet doing this-once he learns to crawl I am in big trouble- you can see how bad he wants to move already! He loves following his sister and would chase her everywhere if he could!
This picture also give you a sneak peek at what our new patio and porch look like. I am waiting until everything is farther along to show before and after pictures. But I am SOOOOO excited to have a patio and almost front yard-the past two weeks have been crazy with a new change happening everyday...it is very exciting to wake up and look out your kitchen window to see this...
...only because it means something is finally happening! Yipee!

It has been a very busy and fun month. Some other activities we've participated in are...Zoo trips one with Grandma, Nathan, Jeremy, Taryn, Dustin & Laney. And another with the neighbors, Megan, Dylan, Abbi, Lily, Emily, Colby and Caroline. It's always fun to go to the zoo!


The Allred Family Reunion-


So much fun...hiking, food, water, basketball, adorable cabin...too many details to share right now! Thanks Kathy for hosting such a wonderful event!

Spencer's first camping trip. We went to White Rocks with my Mom and Kellee over the 24th. Hailee and Spencer actually did very well-especially at night compared to previous trips! Hailee only woke once each night-Spencer only woke the first night because of Hailee! Overall I think it was a great success and we had a wonderful time! My mom hasn't been camping for about 12 years or so, so it was fun to have them along too!





Ending with lunch and a visit at Grandma Great's!


A playdate at Dustin's house. With swimming, lunch and this fabulous tent!-and too much fun to take naps! Around 3 o'clock we were getting ready to leave when I noticed a package on Taryn's front step. It just happened to be Dustin's new, bigger and better pool, so of course we had to stay and go swimming again! Thanks for sharing a fun day with us Dustin. My kids slept the whole way home-It was GREAT!
