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!

Cousins!!!!

our first colorado visitors have arrived! Aunt Coral, Uncle Ed, Alex, Lyndsey, and Brent made the long car trip from Ohio to Colorado and got in this afternoon. From the second the cousins walked through the door Juneau and Nova have been having the time of their lives. It is so awesome to watch the girls interact with their cousins. Juneau is especially at the perfect age to really think her cousins rock, and they are so cute together.

As you can see, Juneau is LOVING the attention from her cousins.
The gigantic beanbag hasn't gotten much use in the last year since there was no room in our tiny house. Now that we have more space we busted it back out, and it provided hours of fun!

Super-girl!!


This bean-bag game involved putting one of the babies in the middle of the beanbag, and everyone jumping on it at the same time.
This picture was taken a split second before the bouncing launched juneau completely off the bean bag and almost smack into the kangaroo climber. Luckily Cris caught her just before the faceplant.

that didn't deter nova from wanting a turn.

the next game was jumping from the kangaroo climber onto the bean bag at increasingly longer intervals
don't worry. he made it.
