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!

Super Swing!

Disclaimer: No children were harmed in the making of this blog post.  However, certain mothers or grandmothers (namely those in Alabama) may not want to view these pictures lest their sons get in trouble for bad parenting.

It was Melody Monday again tonight...the last one we get for awhile as the girls and I will be headed back to Colorado in a few days.  Hopefully by the end of the summer there will be plenty of pictures of the fun the girls are having like today.

Uncle Tim had been telling us for quite awhile about "Super Swing" - a makeshift swing that some adventurous locals had hung from a tree in a park nearby.  The first visit there with Melody had met with a bit of disapproval from her mother but nonetheless, we all headed out there this afternoon...minus Aunt Beth who couldn't stand to watch.

There is no need for much description...the pictures say it all:

 Juneau and Melody were having LOADS of fun!













Nova sat on the swing but refused to let me push her.  She was content to run up and down the hill and watch Juneau and Melody swing.






Yes, Super Swing is SUPER high...





Nova said next time when she is bigger she is going to try it :)

So, have no fear Grandma's and Mommies...the girls had a great time and they all survived despite what might be deemed by some to be the best efforts of their daddies to maim them.
