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!

Feliz Navidad!

The snow continues to fall in Colorado and is coming at just the worst time for us to make our getaway tomorrow afternoon to start our roadtrip.  It sounds like if we can get away from this area, we'll be okay heading east.

Tonight we let the girls go to the Dollar Store and shop for each other.  I took Juneau and Em took Nova and let them pick stuff out for each other for Christmas.  
They were super serious when we got home about wrapping each other's gifts.

And sadly, the wrapping turned out about as well as if I had done it myself.


They were both intent on wrapping them very pretty...
...right down to Juneau addressing them herself.

Proud of the finished product:

And now for the highlight of the entire blog post...Notice Juneau has that same "special thing" in her voice that her mom does:
