Construction Birthday Party

Josiah wanted a construction Birthday Party.  His birthday was on Wednesday, but since it was mid week of VBS. We had his Party on Friday!  Let's just say I was tired after this week!  But it is worth it for my Josiah!

Games, Games, and more games!

 I don't have the Birthday boy eating his cake, but I have this mess!  Trust me Josiah looked NOTHING like this!

 Opening sweet cards and presents!  Josiah has such loving and generous friends...you are loved Josiah!

Happy Birthday Josiah!

Brotherly Love

Birthday Boy

I have Josiah's Birthday scattered through out this blog because we celebrated on many different days. Here is Josiah on his ACTUAL birthday!

 Josiah we love your smile, your laugh, and your love!  I love how you adore your brothers and dad, how you suprise me by talking way older then you should, your sensitivity, and how you often know I need a hug before I even know it! You

have brought so much joy in my life in the past 4 years!  I can't imagine life without you in it!

 

Bible School

This year was my second year in helping organize and run our VBS. It was a lot of work, but A LOT of fun!! This year's theme was Son Harvest county Fair.. I decorated part of the church as a farm, a barn, craft barn and Grand Stand. Here are a few pictures from the week.

THe end of July

Summer flew by this year and as you can see like usual it was a busy summer for the Lenz family! :)  We ended July with a visit in Green Bay and getting to spen time with Avery and Rory.  Here are a few pictures from the visit.

 Not sure how helpful they were but the boys enjoyed helping Grandma Lenz clean the house.

 Josiah got lots of Playmobile (his new love), lots of legos and a scooter! What a blessed boy!

 Thank you kisses!

 Notice the help...Jack was not far from Josiah's side the whole time to check out the new toys that he is hoping he may get the chance to play with!

I think it is safe to assume that this guy had a GREAT birthday!

Birthday Fun at Bay Beach

Happy Birthday Josiah!

For Josiah's 4th birthday we went to Eric's favorite place in Wisconsin (next to Lambeau Field)  Bay Beach!  I must say I was quit impressed myself!  Josiah had a a great time (as did his brother)!  What made the day even better was that we got to spend it with thier cousins Avery and Rory! :)

Riding the train!

Fun on the rides!
