All the Stones and Pebbles: June 2009

It's official: Nathan is crazy (silly)

It is no secret that Nathan is the closet to me when it comes to personality. When he is happy, he is happy (just like me). When he is angry, he is really angry and can't let it go (just like me). When he is sick, he insists on the entire world knowing how miserable he is (sadly, just like me).

Along with this, he also has the ability to make faces and make people laugh. He has the "angry face" where he furrows his brow and gives a scowl that would melt steele and now is has the "blow up face".

The "blow up face" is one of the best and I hope that he never stops doing it! It includes his little voice informing you that "I'm going to blow up!"....

I will let the picture speak...

(I love this kid!)

Zac's friend get baptized

On Saturday afternoon, Zac and I went to his friends baptizm. They have been good friends for a very long time and Zac spent most of Chloe's recital concerned about missing it. Fortunately we were able to attend both. Zac will be turning 8 in October and will be baptized then. He is very excited!

Chloe's big dance recital

Saturday morning was pretty crazy around our house. Chloe had her first big dance recital with Ultimate Dancing in Saratoga Springs. She has been dancing there this year learning ballet, tap and the basics of dance. She is a natural (which she must get from someone other than me) and she was AWESOME! The recital was held at the charter high school in Eagle Mountain and it was packed. They had seating for 750 people and I would estimate that closer to a 1000 showed up. I got there with Zac about 1 hour early and we were on the 3rd row.

Liz had done Chloe's hair in curlers and enough hairspray to keep the space shuttle in flight and followed up with a little makeup and she was set to go. Grandma and Grandpa Stone were there (even though they had to park in the next county) and Alaina was able to join us right as it started. The dance that she performed was a ballet and Chloe did great job! You could see her counting the steps in her head and making sure that her partner was in the right place. When it was done, Liz went to got find her and bring her to the row to watch the rest of the show but couldn't find her or the entire dance group. I was just shutting down the camera when I looked up and saw Chloe on the edge of the stage! One of the girls in the dance number had gotten there late so they got to do it again. Chloe thought that was pretty cool!

She did a great job and we are looking forward to more dancing recitals!
