My Surprise!


My Birthday Surprise
My husband and children and Mother all pulled together to plan a wonderful surprise for me in honor of my 40th, yes I said 40th , I know I don’t look a year past 29 but it is true, I must admit, I am 40 yrs old now. Do I feel 40? Well that depends on what day you ask me, but for the most part I am still in shock that I am thru my 30’s and how fast it went by!


Back to the Party, It was a great one, I had a blast and I was spoiled and so touched by the Love that everyone showed by coming out to honor ME! ~big Smile~ I received so many wonderful gifts some of which I am glad to say that I do not need as you can see from the Picture below, thanks to my beloved brother, but he was kind enough to put the receipt with it so that I could take it back and get the money, the only thing he didn’t realize is that they don’t like to take back hemorrhoid medication and laxatives back but since I explained that it was a gag gift they went ahead and took it. Whoo hoo!


Any way the gift that topped them all was what my husband got for me! A Pink Sony Cyber shot! Oh, Ya, I love it! I can’t believe how fast it takes pictures.

It was a wonderful evening and I felt soooooooo Loved! Thank you to all of you that came out for it. Thank you for all the wonderful gifts. I have to say a great big thanks to My Husband, My Children and my Mother for all the work and planning that they did for me and for the gifts that meant sooo much. Thank you to my children that spent so much money on me even though I know you can’t afford it to make me feel loved, I truly do!
Thank you to my Mom and Dad who paid my way to the Ladies Conference, It was a blessing to me and my teen girls!
Thank you to My Love for showing me Love through all the gifts that you gave to me, You are such a wonderful husband and a Great Dad and I Love You So Much!
I want to name everyone that came and also brought gifts but you know who you are and I truly was honored that you took time from your busy schedules to come to my Party, Thank You!
I also know that Matt and Sileena would have loved to come but they were too far away but I want to say thank you for your gifts, I Love you guys and miss you!
This has been the month of birthday Parties, I will attempt to post some pics of Levi and Logan’s Birthday then of course my birthday and then last night we celebrated Cameron and Justina’s Birthdays at the Mall. It was really Justina’s Party but we threw in a little party for Cameron since his birthday was on the 19th !
They had a bigger and better hunt and it was a fun time for them They actually got some pretty neat things from some of the stores. Justina’s actual Birthday is not until next week so I will try to give her a Post next time, But I want to say right now If I don’t get the time to do it, that I love you! I can’t believe that it has been 14 yrs since you were born and what a lovely young lady you have become you are such a blessing to your Mom and Dad! Happy Birthday!
Well that about wraps up the Parties, no punt intended, ~smile~ but as far as life in general things have been as busy as ever. My Parents sold their house and have to be out of it by next week so we have been trying to be some kind of a help to them and then once they get through all the stress of moving they are leaving for California to be with BBC on their anniversary Sunday so they will not be with us the last two weeks that we are here, ya, that is a bummer! Grandpa missed us the first week that we got here, but we are trying to make the most of the time that we do get with them!
Take Care, Until my next post!
Love,
Pam

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...
