Happy 4th of July!

Our fourth started with the Provo Freesom Festival. We caught the end of the parade then walked around to all the booths. Of course we had to get a Texas Twister! 

It was not even noon and was getting super hot! The drink was perfect to cool us off. We were getting hungry and was craving some BBQ so we headed to this place called Cubby's. We have seen it before but have never actually went. And OMG it was DEVINE!! We both had a dragonslayer burger and buffalo bleu cheese fries which are our new weakness! 

We then went home and took a very well needed nap and watched some Cake Boss: Next Great Baker. After that we headed to Spanish Fork to see Shelly and Jay. Patrick was heading out for work so we saw him just for a little. We then headed to my parents in Draper. Grandpa Triplett was there and it was so nice to visit him! Teresa and Emma were sick so we didn't see Teresa but Emma was feeling better and spent some time with us. Lincoln and Phoenix are there while Natalie and Sheridan are fishing up in Idaho. We love seeing those kids they are adorable! We took Jake,Anya,Lincoln and Phoenix over to the near by park as well. Pheonix loved the swings! We then all hung out outside and watched the Bevan's shoot off fireworks. They definately went to Wyoming haha! We headed home so we could beat the Stadium of Fire traffic. On our way home we probably saw 30 firework shows at once. It was so cool! Overall it was a great fourth! 

It's a......

BOY!!! 

Yesterday we found out the gender for baby Webster! Teresa and Shelly were there as their Mother's Day gifts. Our apt was at 11:30 with this awesome tech Kayla. She layed me down and got me all prepped and John held my hand on the other side. She was looking at a small computer screen which is wired to a big screen we were all looking at. She measures his head first,takes a look at his side profile then down to his feet and then BAM all manhood exposed! He wasn't shy at all! She then went step by step in great detail each part of his little body. Hemispheres of his brain,heart chambers,arteries in the umbilical cord, hips,kidneys you name it! She took lots of pictures and was very detailed and answered all our questions. Best part was when we first looked at his side profile he was air fist pumping at us! Haha so funny! He is 12 oz with a heartbeat at 141 bpm. He is measuring 2 days earlier then we thought but the doctor (Dr Thorp) said we will keep 11/10 as the same due date unless it becomes a 10 day difference. He does have a small calcium buildup on his little heart on one chamber which is an indication of possible Down Syndrome. All my blood/lab results have been normal so that chances of him having Down Syndrome is 1/800. Down Syndrome or not we love him the same! During the ultrasound he was super wiggly! Very active and kept crossing his little ankles and fist pumping! Sssoooo cute! No matter what gender John would be happy but now that he is having a SON he is even more pumped! We are so excited and can't wait for November to come! 

Doesn't he have the cutest nose ever! We sure do love you baby boy!

Mothers Day

Of course like all our holidays we ran around trying to visit all our families. It actually turned out to be a very fun relaxing day! 

First we headed up to my parents to have a brunch at Alpine Country Club and had some presents. Grandma and Grandpa Hatch were there and of course and Jake,Emma and Anya.

 The club have the women roses that I must say were gorgeous! It was the pretty yellow pinkish kind that smelled amazing!

After eating we headed to another part of the clubhouse and did some presents. John and decided to invite his mom Shelly and  Teresa to our gender ultrasound for they Mothers Day gifts. Teresa was excited to experience an ultrasound (because she hasn't before) and to find out the gender of our little babe. I gave Grandma a sweet card just telling her all the wonderful qualities and things we love about her. My parents then gave me and beautiful Simon Dewey  painting that is just breathtaking! They also typed up a poem to go along from Baby Webster. Here is the painting 

It's already up and haning! We love it so much! 

After my parents we headed to Spanish Fork for some of course more food! Shelly was way excited for the gender ultrasound! This will be her first grandbaby so she is pretty excited for everything which we love! We had dinner and I remember we had some delicious potatoes!!!! For dessert Jay made this fruit salad that I probably could have eaten a gallon full! 

Overall my first Mothers Day was great and excited for the more to come!

John's 26th Birthday!

Happy Birthday John!

John turned 26 on Saturday and I was lucky enough to have the day off to spend with him! I made John pancakes on the infamous You are Special today red plate. Then we went to City Creek and had some yummy Red Iguana lunch then did some damage shopping. We didnt find much although I found a darling purse and earrings from Forever 21. We then wanted to head back so we had time to change before dinner that night but the next train left in 9 mins and we weren't gonna make it. So we had to wait an hour and a half for the next train which barely gave us any time before dinner. Haha. So we got home just an hour before dinner,grabbed some balloons and headed to Buffalo Wild Wings to meet with some friends for dinner. Carolyn,Colton,Brooke and Kris all came. It was super fun! We then headed back to our apartment and just hung out. It was a fun day! Also on Friday we had John's bday dinner with his family. I will include those pictures too! Enjoy!

Dear Baby Webster

Dear Baby Webster 

Today we got to hear the sound of your heartbeat. It was strong and beautiful. It was emotional for daddy and I. It made everything much more real! We can't wait to finally meet you in November! We love you so much! XOXO

Baby Webster debuts Nov 2014!

To love like they do

The past few weeks I have been spending a lot of time with the Clapier side. My cousin Bret got married tonight so lots of family gatherings! His reception was beautiful! 

Congrats Bret! We love you! 

Other things on my mind....

 My one cousin Kecia has 6 beautiful girls, 2 of them have Down Syndrome. Bree is their biological and Mia is adapted from the Ukraine. Although they adopted Mia when she was older (4 I beleive) it feels like she has always been apart of the family. I get emotional when I think of these two sweet girls. Their love they show and acceptance of people is truly genuine and Christlike. I can only hope to learn to love like these girls can.

The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little bit of extra.
