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 61: 4 Girls - 2 Twin Beds

Posted by: Cris

For some reason, Juneau and Nova were totally into hats today.

Christmas may be over but Juneau is still in the spirit. Just about as cute as it gets:

It is no surprise what Nova's hat of choice would be:
The BW-3's style:
The rest of the evening involved whatever variety of games all the cousins could come up with including:
Shoulder rides...
Hide and seek with these cool remote control animals (you hide them, then the kids search for them with these little remote controls that every time you push the button, if you are close enough, the animal makes it's sound). Nova loooves them. The only problem was that when she took a turn hiding them, she didn't quite understand that she wasn't supposed to be involved in the seeking. As soon as she heard the elephant trumpeting, she was quick to volunteer "it's over here!"
Being drug around the tile floor on pillows...

Piling into a blanket...
...and being swung back and forth.

The girls loved putting Brent in the blanket and "helping" Alex & Lyndsey swing him back and forth:
Finally, with the prospect of not getting to end the night with a movie as usual since there was a TON of football on tonight, the plan was hatched to move the whole movie set-up to Alex & Lyndey's room.
So, after watching Monsters Inc. on the portable DVD player, Juneau and Nova are now fast asleep, each in a twin bed with Alex & Lyndsey. Hopefully, the Matus girls can still get enough sleep tonight so that they can kick butt in their scrimmage tomorrow. But I know fully what a flopper and kicker Juneau is so Alex may be a step slow on the court tomorrow.
