A Night they will remember for a life time


I have always dreamed of going to see a “Broadway Show” but of course it had to be a “Clean” one so that narrowed down the options. When I turned 40 my Loving husband told me to start looking for tickets so that we could go when we went to NY in July, so being the submissive wife that I am, I did just that! ~big grin~ Even though the tickets were in the nose bleed section, (only $30 each) it was good enough for me, after all I just wanted to go. Well this turned into my beautiful daughters then planning to have their own NY experience and from that point it was all about getting those girls their, “Night to Remember” which included shopping for formal dresses, shoes…. Now they were willing to pay for all that stuff, BUT I am not a shopper when it comes to teenagers and how picky they are (smile) I have to admit, it was actually easy, we went to a Good will and found both dresses for less than $30!!!! Now to make this night happen, Grandma and Grandpa had to come all the way from Washington State so that we would have a babysitter for the night. Lol OK, so they didn’t come to just baby-sit, but it was a blessing being able to go enjoy the show with just My husband and My teen age daughters. Grandma and Grandpa and Hailey, Noah and Nolan all went to see “Mary Poppins” the day before so they were not “left out” ~smile~
Well, I think the night was a success, it was a blast and Mackenzie and Justina had such a great time! The night was topped off when a little girl ran up to Justina and asked if she could shake her hand, because she “had not ever met a real life NYC Princess” I am telling you, Justina was on cloud 9 for the rest of the night ! Of course, We had fun too! And my dream was fulfilled too ;0)
Here are the pictures to prove it!

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...
