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!

gearing up for some plane rides....

i LOVE planning trips. love it.

i've kind of been in planning overload, however. We have 2 big trips coming up, and i am excited!
In a few weeks the whole gang is headed back to hawaii for a week. Cris has some stuff at the University to do, and we are all tagging along for the ride. I can't wait to get the girls back in the land of 70 degree weather and white sandy beaches :) especially now that they are actually getting big enough to enjoy the beach. hopefully nova has forgotten her severe aversion to sand! I don't want her to have to sit in her little inflatable floatie all week.

Next up is a big trip in April - i have a Board Review Course in Chicago, and then Cris and I are leaving the girls for a week and heading to Costa Rica for our 5th Anniversary! I am already trying to prepare myself for an entire week away from the 2 cutest girls ever... luckily i know they won't miss us too much since they will be spending the week with Alex, Lyndsey and Brent!

i haven't been taking too many pictures lately b/c of my camera lens being broken and i haven't gotten around to sending it off yet. however, i will post for your viewing enjoyment my recent "DA Photo" :) I think this is probably only the 2nd time in the last 5 years that i have worn my Class A's :)
i feel kinda funny putting this picture on here, but i thought one day in 10 years when the girls are reading through this blog they might get a kick out of this :)
