Family Photos

The Lorenzen Family 2012

My Sister-in-law, Julie introduced me to her friend, Amanda who takes photos.  I was going to get family/pregnancy pictures if it killed me.  On this day I was having so many contractions that I thought we would be heading to the hospital right after we were done.  Needless to say it didn't quite happen that way...but we were really happy with our pictures.  ENJOY!

EASTER

EASTER 2012

Alexander was so excited to see where the Easter Bunny hide his basket

Here I am showing off the ever GROWING belly

Alexander on the hunt

 The Easter Basket was finally found, next year the Easter Bunny is going to have to find a harder place to hide his basket.

 Daddy found his Easter Basket

 If there is one thing I am grateful for it's have the Adam's and Sharron Krebs close by.  They are family in every way and they are always looking out for us.  We were invited over to Sharron Kreb's house for EASTER DINNER and it was so much fun.  Great company, great food, and the Easter Bunny had left the kids eggs to hunt.  We could not have asked for a better way to celebrate Easter.

 The amazing family that made Easter Dinner possible

 The Easter Hunt was on...

Catching up Posting

Some happy news we forgot to post about was Zac getting a promotion at Work.  I am very proud of him, especially since he is working full-time, going to school full-time, and he still works hard at his church calling as ward missionary.  We works so hard, he an amazing father, a wonderful husband, and I am grateful that the Lord blessed me with such a great husband!

Our own KUNG FU son...

 Alexander is a very smart child but he has a lot of energy...so much that a few of his teachers suggested we put him in Kung Fu to help him focus.  Thanks to Farmor and Farfar helping out with the cost of classes, Alexander is learning the art of Kung Fu and hopefully "focus".  He loves his classes and he practices, we just have to make sure he doesn't practice on anyone! 

Recently he earned the "white sash" the first level of Kung Fu and he was so happy and excited.  He keeps asking when he can go up to the next level, "yellow sash"...patience is also going to be learned.  We are proud of our little guy, he is going to be a GREAT big brother.

1st Grade Singing Recital

Alexander had his 1st Grade Singing Recital.  It was a Disney theme, which is why he is wearing a Disney shirt with his church suit.  He was so excited, and we love going to these events...it's never a dull moment.

Proud parents of this little guy!

First Baby Shower

I have amazing great friends, best friends, friends that seem to be my rock.  One of them is Tammy Adams.  She was sooooo KIND to put together a shower for me with help from another amazing friend Sharron and Marilyn.  I can't thank them enough for making this Shower so much fun.  We invited a lot of people on a spring break weekend and I felt loved and blessed that so many showed up.  Here are a few pictures I borrowed from others blogs to show just how wonderful it was to celebrate with everyone.

It was really a great day and I can't say enough THANK YOU's for all the love, support, gifts, hugs, time, and effort that went into making this day so special for me!!!

Moving and Renovations

So what does a very pregnant girl do when she can't sleep...blog! 
I am sorry this won't have pictures but I will just try to catch up on what our life has been like.  We decided it was in our best interest to sell my home and move into Zac's place next door.  Not a big deal....right?  Well, let's just say that Zac's place that he has owned for over 10 years needed some tender loving care.  We found ourselves a fix guy and Zac's generous parents to help us. 
We took down old paneling, painted, and removed bathrooms that could no longer fit a married couple, especially if one was pregnant and her belly couldn't fit in the shower if she tried. Zac's parents came down for two weeks and with a lot of work and challenges along the way we have a new master bath that is lovely...and fits two people.  Zac's father, Gary is very talented in and with his building skills.  While his mother is talented in her sewing and knitting skills.  Not to mention the cooking and cleaning she did to help us along the way.  It has been very difficult working full-time during this pregnancy and it was nice to have them come down and take care of us.
We had a few hang ups like parts not showing up on time, but we survived and we have a new bathroom and baby bassinet to be proud of.
We can't thank them enough for helping us and making our new house a beautiful home. 
THANK YOU for all your support, love, help, and generosity Mom and Dad Lorenzen!
