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!

Day 3: Trick or Treat with the Wild Things

Posted by: Cris

The night Juneau wore her wolf suit and made mischief of one kind... and another...her mother called her "WILD THING" and Juneau said
"I'LL EAT YOU UP!"

And when she came to the place where the wild things are...

they roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth...
and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws.



"And now," cried Juneau, "let the wild rumpus start!"


Then all around from far away across the world, she smelled good candy to eat
so she gave up being king of where the wild things are.

But the wild things cried, "Oh please don't go -
we'll eat you up - we love you so!"
But Juneau said "No!"

...Juneau stepped into her private stroller and waved goodbye

and sailed back over a year...and in and out of weeks...
and through a day...
and into the seat of her very own van...
