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 164 / 33 To Go: Nova's Special Daddy Song

Posted by: Cris

This evening on the way home from the NEX, a group of showers were filling the valley leading up the H-3. The result was a series of the brightest rainbows I've ever seen all the way up to the tunnel.

Last night's slumber party was super fun and the girls were looking forward to getting up for breakfast this morning because I had promised I'd make cinnamon rolls. This used to be our family Saturday morning treat once a month or so...mommy would make us all cinnamon rolls and we'd try to hurry up and get some before Nova devoured them all. We hadn't had any since mommy left for deployment so this morning was a real treat. The other treat for the girls was me letting them crack into their Easter basket goodies that they got from Grandpa and Grandma Stickley yesterday in the mail. They had been asking all day when they could open one of these eggs with a marshmallow treat inside so since they were super good at the grocery today I told them they could. You can see Nova is excited... Finally, the highlight of MY day...Ever since Nova was the teeniest tiniest baby, I would sing "You Are My Sunshine" to her when she was crying at nap or bedtime and to this day, she knows that is kind of her "special daddy song". So, today on the way home the girls started playing a game in the backseat where Juneau was Nova crying at bedtime and Nova was daddy...the result was this:
