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!

"gorgeous!"

Juneau yesterday took a look at the big blue Colorado sky and announced "The blue sky is Gorgeous!". So cute. She's also gotten into using a lot of made-up words. Her current favorite madeup words are "Gwee-gwice" and "Squee-squosh".

We are gearing up for the big road trip. We leave on Sunday for our 20 hour drive....we'll keep you posted on how that goes. I anticipate i will be at least partially insane by the time we arrive.

Nova, excited to spend 2 weeks in O-H-I-O with the fam!
Juneau's been into pufffing her belly out after she eats. She makes it as big as she can, and then says "Juneau's tummy BIIIIIIG, rub it sissy!" Here she was balancing her sippy on her "biiiig tummy"
Today the girls got Christmas cards in the mail from Aunt Nutkin. They each play Christmas carols when you open them up. Unfortunately "Feliz Navidad", and "Deck the Halls" don't sound so great when played simultaneously! They LOVED the cards and kept opening and closing them. "Fun" for whole household!

The pj pictures are soooo cute! Even though everyone looks happy and fun loving, I get afraid every time I think about the Ohio car trip! Even so I can't wait to see everyone! Love, Mom
