THOSE MEAN FLIES!

We started out the day celebrating Mia's 1 month birthday, can you believe it has been a MONTH?

Nolan was so proud of her out fit because he is the one that picked it out.
BUT THEN DADDY WANTED TO TAKE THE BOYS FOR A WALK AND PICK BLACK BERRIES AND THAT IS WHEN THE "MEAN FLIES ATTACKED"
Yes they were walking down some railroad tracks and must have stepped on a Yellow Jacket Nest because all of a sudden Yellow Jackets started attacking all 5 of them.
In the heat of the moment Logan was left behind! Oh ya, but I was assured that it was ONLY for a moment and well as you can see from the pictures, he got the worse of it. He was stung 3 times, with one being on the lip he looked and felt pretty bad



So Jon calls me on the phone and tells me what had happened (except the part about Logan getting left behind and that his lip was all swollen) and ask me to come pick them up in the van since they don't want to walk back the same way that they came.



When I got to them I could see that the boys were all standing fine with their Dad until I got up there, That is when they all started crying and showing me all the places that they were stung and how horrible the whole thing was for them. Jon of course was very calm and could even find the humor in the whole thing.



Levi said, "Those Mean Flies started biting us, Mommy" he didn't want me to come and pick them up because he didn't want those Mean flies to kill me. (aaaaah, isn't that so sweet?)Noah was upset but not so much that he couldn't show me all the blackberries they had picked, Nolan was so irritated that he said to Noah, "Noah just throw those stupid things down, that is why we all got stung, picking those dumb berries!"



So as I get them all home and begin to administer benedryl and baking soda paste and pain reliever, Mackenzie, the newest blogger begins snapping pictures of the whole chaotic episode. I said Mackenzie, what are you doing? She says Oh, this will make a great post! LOL So I figure Hey, I might as well tell the story before she does, ha/ha


I figured I would use these Pics of her b/c she took these also, she is non stop with my camera now, she filled my card completely, it has never been full but now I have 876 PICTURES on my sim card. She will probably want to kill me for posting these Pics but I do tell them that if it is on my Camera and they Posed for it then it is MY Property! :-) Love You Mackenzie :-) Love, Mom

My Five Year Journey Finding time to create a post seems to be my struggle these days. I have wanted to sit down and create so many different post for my neglected blog but the business of life prevents me! Five years ago, I accepted a position at Hope Academy Charter as a Teacher. My children had been  home-schooled up to that point, and they were excited to come to work with Mom and get to be in a “real” school as they put it. As we drove up to this cute little campus with a bell tower, I said to the kids in the car, “One day, I am going to be the Principal of this place”. Lol  Well that mission was basically accomplished! (If you read this post you will get the long version) Fast forward five years later and what feels like 20 years of stress, I decided to make a career jump and go back to what I have always been meant to do. Being a Wife and Mom! How is that a career jump?  I am working from home as an Education Specialist for Summit Academy Charter .We be...

MIA JOY KNOUF 1 year old

Our Precious “Joy Girl” One Year ago, we had the privilege and honor to welcome yet another of God’s special blessings into our lives and home. Mia Joy Knouf has been such a “Joy” to our family and it has been so much fun seeing all the changes she has gone through this past year. It is hard to believe that I had such a hard time nursing her and now would you believe that is about all she wants, no pacifier or bottle! (that is kind of rough on Mom) We were also concerned about her weight and now we are calling her “chubby” ;0) God is so good! It is amazing how much a child learns in the first year of life, she is right on the verge of walking, she has taken a couple steps, She stands up in the middle of the floor while holding her baby doll but seems to be content with that. Speaking of Baby Dolls she is ALL girl, She loves them! But then she also likes to wrestle with Logan and Levi and they love it too! Of course all her brothers and sisters love playing with her, they are so amazed ...

Knouf Family Christmas Newsletter November 22, 2017 God has been so good to our family! It has been a long time! Traditionally, I use to write a Christmas letter, however I have failed to do so for a few years now. Part of the reason has been the change of how social media seems to keep us all connected more than ever. Truthfully the main reason has been that I have been too busy to even take time to write such a letter. Rewind back to 2014, Jon and I were going through a time of soul searching with our finances. As many of you know,  we have always had a strong belief that staying home with the children was where I should be. Pami was getting older and having children that could now help with her care it was decided that I needed to help with the financial support of maintaining a family of our size. We began to seek the Lord for guidance in this decision, ironically while I began working with my parents at creating a cleaning business of our own, we would listen to Dav...
