The surprise and Lincoln's first meets!

On our way to Heber from the airport my dad and I called my mom when we were about 15 minutes out so she could close the blinds and so that my brothers and Grandma Joyce didn't see us arrive. Upon arriving at the house I was shaking so bad I could barely make my hands function!

I walked inside and went up the stairs and found Ty and Nate first. They were both shocked to see us. Both of them gave me a great big hug. I hurried and got Lincoln out of his seat and then went up find Kurtis and Grandma. Kurtis gave me a big hug as well and then took Lincoln from me immediately. He was so excited to see Lincoln! I made my way out to Grandma on the back porch who was busy feeding the dogs. She was so surprised to see us and then all of the attention went to Lincoln!

Later we had cake and ice cream for Kurtis's birthday. Nana (Trudy) and Auntie Chelle came up to have dinner and cake and ice cream. Auntie Chelle mugged on Lincoln's cheeks and loved every minute of it! 

That night he also met Great Great Grandpa Averrett, Aunt Melanie, cousins Kameron and Brandon,

He met Randi Lynn and Tyler's baby Logan who was only 2 weeks old at the time. He also met Logan's older brother Jackson!

The same day he met Logan he also met cousin Katrina who was so excited to meet him!

A couple days later he met cousin Mandy! Thank goodness she thinks to take pictures!

On Mother's Day a few days later he met some more family! He met Great Great Grandma Horner, Uncle Paul and Aunt Vicky Jenkins, and cousins Lyndi and Adam at Adam's welcome home. 

After Adam's welcome home we headed down the canyon to see Nana for Mother's Day. There Lincoln met Uncle Bryan, Aunt Kristen, cousins Ty, Brans, Cason, Tessa, and Knox. He also met Nonna, his great grandma on Chad's side! 

Meeting cousin Knox was so fun! He is a month older than Lincoln but a lot smaller!

Lincoln's foot is on the left and Knox's foot is on the right!

He kept meeting people that had not met him yet like friends, people I worked with when we lived in Utah, my voice teacher Emily and some more family members like Uncle Kyle! 

On Memorial Day Lincoln met Grandpa LaVell and Grandma Kathy (some more great grandparents for him) and then met some more cousins and Aunts and Uncles!

Later that week he met a few of my friends from high school and a favorite teacher at Uncle Ty's graduation, a few of our really good friends (Chad's friends from high school) and then on his blessing day he met more cousins, aunts and uncles, friends, and people from our old ward! He also met one of Chad's very best friends Rob and his wife Bianca (we love spending time with these two when we go back!

Lincoln met a ton of people when we were in Utah and it was so much fun showing him off!
