Another bath video!

Here is another video that George sent me while I was playing softball. I am not sure how much washing actually gets done, but I am not going to complain. After all, she is in the bath tub.

Family Pics and another busy weekend!

Last Thursday our friend Laura invited us out to the lake that is on part of their family's farm. The kids played in the water and in the sand while the mom's had some adult conversation! I think a good time was had by all!





This is a video of Tara talking to baby KJ while he is in his car seat. I think she woke him up! oops!

Thursday nights I have softball so Tara gets daddy all to herself. They always have a good time together. Bath time is their favorite way and I have gotten a few videos sent to me on my phone during my game.


A few weeks ago we had our family pictures taken at Heritage Park. I think I mentioned it in an earlier post. Anyway, here are a few of my favorite shots.













All of the Tencza grandkids! I love Tara's look in this one. You can tell she is cracking up at something funny!








Our happy little family!




The entire Tencza family together for one nice picture.

The cousins showing their "true" selves. Tara looking like she has no idea what's going on!

This past weekend was as usual, very busy. Saturday Tara and I drove down to Dearborn for a bridal shower for George's cousin, Stephanie. First, we stopped at Lakeside to pick up the family pictures and then we met up with Kelly and Reagan at their house. We jumped in their car and rode the rest of the way with them. Tara and Reagan had fun sitting in the back together and had so much fun at the shower that they passed out on the way home!

Saturday night we ended up at the bar celebrating George's birthday. Most of our closest friends joined us so it was a great night! Some of us had more fun that others I think!

Sunday we spent most of the day recovering, after we went to breakfast of course, and later in the day we went out to the Ligon Lake for some ice cream cake! Yum!

Wedding Weekend

This past weekend was filled with wedding receptions. Friday night we had a friend from high school's wedding and on Saturday I had a friend from college's wedding. The first one was at Addison Oaks and very nice. The second one was in Traverse City and also very nice. This one was just a girl's trip so George and Tara stayed home. I drove up with 3 of my college roommates. We had a great time! I wish there were more girl's trips and maybe when the kids

are older we will try to fit them in more.

Birthday Bash at the Beach

This weekend was quite busy for our little family. Saturday we celebrated our nephew Gavin's

4th birthday! Wow, I can't believe he is already that old! He is the first grandchild on the Tencza side. Even through the rain we still had a good time. Tara enjoyed playing with her cousins and all of their toys! We got to catch up with some friends that we met through Mike and Kelly that we haven't seen since Reagan's party in April. They are always a lot of fun.

When we got home Tara got to play with her new car that arrived in the mail that day. It had to be charged so we plugged it in before we left.

It is remote control so her daddy can drive her around until she can drive for herself.

Sunday we went to get family pictures taken at Heritage Gardens and then we went to Stoney Creek Park to celebrate my mother-in-law's birthday. The beach was a lot of fun. The kids enjoyed the water and getting buried in the sand by their Uncle George! After having dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings, we were spent!

Fun Times on Island Drive

Total Babes!

Mila is a fish in the water so she is trying to show Tara how much fun it is.

The girls are singing and dancing with Grandma and Uncle Kyle.

GG had her first ride on the jet ski and loved it! She also had her first kabobs and fajitas!

We spent the holiday weekend up north in Edenville. My parents have a cabin on Wixom Lake about 20 minutes west of Midland. Tara got to spend time with her Uncle Kyle and GG (Great Grandma) among many other family members and friends. It was a full cabin this year! We spent our days out on the lake basking in the hot sun and our nights eating and drinking. It was a good time as always.

Fun in the sun!

We have had a fun, busy week. Last Thursday we went to a local water park to celebrate our friends Laura and Avis' birthdays.

Friday, Tara's Godmother came over to play and brought my Goddaughter, Katie. Katie was born 11 day after Tara but you would never be able to tell that Tara is the older of the two!

Saturday we had Dane and Joanne's wedding reception so Tara stayed with her Uncle Christopher, Aunt Sarah and cousins Mila and Audrey. She had a blast playing in the water with Mila and was apparently a great eater! I will have to send her over there more often so Mila can show her how to eat!

This is our attempt at a "just the girls" picture!

Sunday we went over to the Ligon residence for some "after party" relaxing. Tara played in the sand with Kaden and Uncle Matt and Aunt Tanya joined in for some sand play too! She enjoyed seeing KJ as well. She loves babies right now and is actually pretty good with them.

This weekend we will be heading up north to see Uncle Kyle and Great-Grandma Nyeholt! We are very excited and hope to take lots of pictures which we will share when we come back!
