Hunter vs. Animal Activist

Ok it is not good to have a hunter living in the same house as an Animal Activist! Today we found a channel on our T.V. this is a rare thing so we were watching what was on, and of all things to be on, HUNTING, yes it was all about a guy hunting for a bear. This was the dialogue that I heard while the show was on:
Noah: "Oh wow, I hope a bear comes, I want to see him kill a bear"
Hailey: "No, I hope a bear does not come, is he really going to shoot a poor bear?"
Noah: "Yes, He is going to shoot it, and I want to see it, I can't wait"
Hailey: "You shouldn't want to see a poor animal die"
Noah: "Oh look here comes a bear, shoot it, shoot it, shoot it!"
Hailey: "No don't shoot it, I can't look, is he shooting it, Mom is he shooting it?"
Noah: "Oh ya, he got it, Oh that is sooooo cool, I can't wait to go hunting with Grandpa!"
Hailey: "Oh no it's suffering, mom why are they letting it suffer, oh this is so sad, Noah you are bad, you should not want animals to die"
Noah: "Oh, ya I'm a hunter and I am going to kill an animal and I am going to keep its head and I will eat the meat!"
Hailey: "Noah I care about animals as much as I do people!"
Ok so this is where I stepped in and explained to my animal activist daughter that PEOPLE are way more important than animals, not to mention you eat animal every day of your life!
Hailey: "well I still love animals and I even love bugs, I don't want Noah stepping on ants and stuff, it makes me cry!"
Noah:" I step on ants cuz I know they can hurt Levi, He could die Hailey!"
A few minutes passed and a spider was crawling on a chair next to Hailey, when I saw it and yelled SPIDER she jumped from where she was and did not cry when I killed it, I asked her why she didn't care for that poor little spider, she didn't have an answer, I think maybe God had a lesson for her to learn :-)

This is so funny. With all the kids in our family, I don't think we ever had this conversation! Good memories there Pam! Love you!

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...
