The Stickley family adventures started in Hawaii in 2005 when Cris and Emilie were married. The real excitement began in May 2008, when Nova was born. 2 short months later, our little June-Bug joined the family from all the way in Vietnam. The next few crazy years included Emilie being deployed to Afghanistan, while Cris and the girls moved back to Hawaii, then a long year of living apart (and a lot of trips across the Pacific Ocean), while Emilie remained in Colorado to complete her Army committment, and Cris had to stay in Hawaii for his job at the University.

In the summer of 2012, little Jude joined our family, and the whole gang reunited for good in Hawaii!

Follow our adventures, as we try to keep track of life with our 3 crazy kids, while keeping our friends and family updated on the happenings here in Hawaii!

Our most recent visitors

We had an AWESOME week with our company last week! My super cool Aunt Cheryl (affectionately known as Nutkie, nutkin, squirrel, fluffy squirrel, squirrel nut) came to hawaii, and brought along with her my youngest brother, Drew. Drew is in school in New England, and we rarely get to see him, so it was a real treat to get to have him in Hawaii for over a week! The girls adored nutkin (they called her "pop-pop" due to the neverending supply of lollipops she kept on hand) and they loved their Uncle "Dew".


I had to work most of the days they were here, but they certainly kept themselves entertained exploring the island, floating around in the ocean, eating Shave Ice, and, of course sitting in traffic :)

Here are some pictures of their visit: Nova actually enjoying the water!
see, she really loved it!

Juneau can never get enough of the water
