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!

Colorado=>Kansas=>Nebraska=>Iowa=>Wisconsin


We finally got away from Colorado Springs yesterday and spent the first 2 hours driving through blowing snow and patchy ice.  Finally, about the Kansas state line things lightened up and while everyone else in the van drifted off to sleep, I drove another 4 hours to the Kearney, the Paris of Nebraska. 

After a short night of sleep, we hit the road again this morning for another 10 hours and lots of this:

Finally, after another hour of driving through snowstorm after we crossed into Wisconsin, we made it the Good Estates.  The kids were super excited to be together again (except for Finley who had just gotten sick at dinner) and then were ready to crash...saving up energy for the inevitable craziness of tomorrow. 

Finally, a big congratulations to Emilie's little brother Drew (the youngest of the Saccenti crew) who got engaged yesterday:
