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!

Second Anniversary of Juneau's Referral

Two years ago we saw our little June-bug for the very first time. Cutest little face we ever did see. I must have looked at this picture of Juneau about a billion times between January and August, when I finally held our girl for the first time.

We had a great day today. We spent a little time grocery shopping at Costco (the girls LOVE Costco because of the samples, or "snacks" as they like to call them). Then we ate their very favorite Costco pizza and Berry Sundaes. We played in the kids play area at the mall (one of their favorite winter activities), and then took a nap (while i got a hair cut). The highlight was dinner tonight. We ate at a little Vietnamese restaurant i have been wanting to try and it was FABULOUS! probably the best Vietnamese food we've ever had. The owner totally loved Juneau, and was so impressed when she told him she was born in "Bietnam". The owner's wife came over to meet Juneau also, and it turns out she has the same name as Juneau's vietnamese name, Nga. It was such a sweet little family owned restaurant, and we can't wait to go back!
