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 Valentine's Day!

We have been having a fantastic weekend! It's a four day weekend for the me, thanks to the Army's fabulous tendancy to make the Friday before a Monday holiday a "training holiday", which basically means no work! Yesterday I spent the morning playing with the girls. We tried to go to the Focus On the Family center...there is a great indoor play area with a big curly slide, and lots of stuff the girls love. Unfortunately once i got up there, i found out the play area was closed for the week for maintenance. So we headed over to the trusty "shopping play" - indoor play area at the mall. The girls had a blast, and it gave Cris a few hours to video chat with some students at UH.

Our delicious Valentine's Day treat - Cris favorite "3 layer dessert"
This morning the girls spent some time playing princess...
Then we got ready to try out their first Gymnastics class. Juneau warmed up with some splits before class.
The gymanstics class is at a Trampoline/power tumbling gym, and the girls had a blast! they started class by jumping around on the trampolines, then they both took turns hooked up to a bungee system that allowed them to stay upright while doing jumps and flips. Juneau took right too it, and loved every second. Nova was still a bit to little to grasp the concept, but had a great time anyway.

This evening they put on their new pajamas Grammie sent in the mail, and got into their usual spot in front of the fireplace for a picture :)

The whole crazy crew
Tomorrow we have a babysitter! We are headed to the famous, old Broadmoor Hotel for a delicious Valentine's Day Brunch. We will have to see if it can compare to some of the fabulous Sunday Brunches we had in Hawaii :)
