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 48: The Big Game!!

Posted by: Cris

Genoa, Ohio - Tonight the 7th grade Lake Lady Flyers took their undefeated 5-0 record on the road against archrival, the Genoa Comets, who also sported a 5-0 record coming into the contest.

Starting guards, Alex & Lyndsey Matus were ultra-nervous all day and going into the warm-up.



GAME TIME!
Lyndsey Matus bringing the ball up the floor:
Nova was more interested in getting a refill on the popcorn
Lake jumped out early in a fast-paced and physical game.
Juneau was more interested in playing games on Aunt Coral's iPod
Lyndsey ran the offense from the point (this is the first year they've had something that could actually be loosely called "running an offense") Brent, Juneau and Nova watching "the game"

On the court, the battle raged...
In the end, Lake never trailed in the game, withstood a furious run by Genoa at the end and pretty much controlled the game wire to wire in posting a 32-25 win to go to 6-0.
Alex Matus led all scorers with 16 points.
Nova was very impressed with cousin Alex's performance
The celebration after the big win meant the Matus gang heading to BW-3's. On the way home, everyone ventured by the home of what must be one of Toledo's biggest computer geeks who has an elaborate display of Christmas lights on his lawn synchronized to Christmas music that is broadcasting via a small FM transmitter.

Only 10 more days until Christmas (and almost equally importantly, only 3 more days until Bowl Week begins!!)
