the cousins were here, the cousins were here

That's right folks, the Tennessee cousins were here. They arrived on July 17th - the evening of Tanner's 12th birthday.

The next day we introduced Tanner and Taylor to the Naples Botanical Garden.

We were blessed with a nice breeze while at the garden. We knew it would be hot so we had the children wear their swimsuits so they could cool off in the fountains.

Thank you Uncle Derek for all of your hours driving in the car so the cousins could spend time together.

While the cousins were here we were able to witness history in the making. We were fortunate enough to hear the final sonic boom of a NASA spacecraft. Not only did we hear the double boom, we were also able see Atlantis traveling towards the Kennedy Space Center. We had to wake up early in the morning but it was worth it.

The rest of our days were spent at the water park and swimming in our pool. On the last day, the girls headed to the mall while the boys hit the beach to try out one of Tanner's birthday presents.

The cousins had to leave after only three short days but as you will soon see, we meet up again.

Welcome

Mason is 13, and he is a big fan of basketball and football. I work as a technology teacher at a local elementary school. Darin has his own business called Ascendant Wealth Management. Mackenzie is 16, and she loves to spend her time practicing for drumline and watching movies.
