New House

After eight awesome years in our current home we are beginning a new journey. We are moving into a new house on 2.5 acres. We are excited about the opportunity to have some additional land and being closer to where the kids attend school and I work. We will miss our current home but know over time our new house will become a wonderful home for us.





Picture looking down the driveway.

Part of the yard is fenced in which will be wonderful!

Orchard with peach, apple and pear trees.

The kids are so excited about the basketball court.

The mini vineyard. Will remind me everyday of my Grandma-Great! :~)

Cleveland Zoo Trip!


On Friday, July 8th we went on a road trip. We had a wonderful time and wanted to thank Aunt Melinda for sharing her two for one tickets to get into the zoo.

The kids learning about the elephants.

The new elephant habitat was amazing.

Look at the lions.


Koala!!! So adorable.

Blake had this look throughout the day. He was amazed at all the sites and I could tell everything intrigued him.



Lunch time.

A little peek-a-boo action going on after lunch.


Chloe couldn't wait to see the giraffes and Blake was amazed by them.

Emily and Aunt Melinda

Turtle impression! :~)


Butterfly Pavilion Pictures. I really like the way these turned out. This part of the zoo was Haley's favorite.

Mating butterflies captured. Talk about no privacy.


Melinda is directionally challenged with the zoo map too!! LOL.... We love her!

Chloe and Corrine

Love this picture.

Blake really enjoyed the fish tanks.

The group is determining whether the fish below is living or not. You decide. We do think we saw a little breathing action, but not much.


What a bunch...

Not a good idea with an air cast Emily!!

A little cool down...
Big ears makes it easier to hear TYLER! No need to talk so loud. LOL...

Grandma and Tyler checking out the baby bear.

Nap time. 35 minutes isn't enough.

The crew

Polar BEAR

Grandma and Haley

Haley took this photo of the leopard which is her school mascot.

Chloe was great with the map. She helped guide us to where she wanted to go next.

Tyler took these pictures while he was in the rainforest. He did a nice job.

We were so happy to have been able to spend the day with Grandma and Aunt Melinda's crew!

Fishy Bread

Nathan's mom found fish shaped bread and gave some to the Pfefferkorn's when we were picking up the kids from camp. Alecia was so sweet in sharing. We had never seen fishy bread and the kids thought it was pretty neat. Here are the kiddos having the bread for lunch.



Chloe playing a little with her food before eating. :~)
THANKS A BUNCH FOR SHARING PFEFFERKORNS!!
