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 83: The Day Through Grandma's Eyes

Posted by: Cris

Today we are leaving the picture taking up to Grandma to see what the day looks like through her eyes:

Elmo Nova - love that sweet smile There is nothing more fun than watching these 2 play together. They make up the funniest stuff to play and they are genuinely having SOOO much fun doing it. Yesterday, they made up a song about a pineapple and both sat up in there castle singing it for about 10 minutes.

We had spent the last couple of evenings at home so tonight it was off to "shopping-play".

Inseparable sisters...



"I want to do a Buzz Lightyear jump...To Infinity & Beyond"...

"I want to do a Jessie jump!...Yee-haaaaw"...

"I want to do a Woody jump!...There's a snake in my boot!"

Daddy tackles all around...




"I want to play for just a few more minutes before bed"
Grandma: "Okay, you can play until daddy is done trying to take pictures of the full moon shining out over the ocean":

I'm still working on it but it's getting a bit better. If I can become an expert photographer, there are some absolutely PERFECT pictures out there waiting to be taken during the full moon.
We are one step closer to the pack arriving in Hawaii. Today I turned in all the official paperwork and paid the ridiculous fee Hawaii charges to do nothing at all except process the paperwork you fill out. If I haven't heard anything from them by Monday, I can schedule their flight and they'll be on there way...luckily at least part of the fence is getting close to completion - at least enough to keep them in on the upper lawn. I can't wait!!

We saw that same awesome moon here in AR last night as well. My little kids at church were loving it!
