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!

happy halloween!

today is halloween, and we are kind of already trick-or-treated out! 2 weekends ago we did boo at the zoo, and yesterday was trick-or-treat at the hospital. The girls had a blast, but i'm not so sure they are up for wearing around the blue wigs again, much less in 20 degree weather! So i think we will all just pass out candy today, and enjoy looking at all the costumes.

Here you can see the girls are thoroughly enjoying their own (and eachothers!) trick or treat candy!
I think i mentioned that JBug's new favorite candy is Smarties. She has been doing this hilarious thing where she says in the most serious voice "Mom, I love smarties". i let them sprinkle some smarties in their pudding, and the loved it!

We carved pumpkins this week. After a few minutes with a sharp knife, my craftsman lovin' husband decided to bust out his favorite powertool, and went to town on his pumpkin with the cordless drill
the finished product!
And it lit up beautifully!
