Aargh!

Captain Austin welcomes you aboard. From Veggie Tales, The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything to Captain Hook and Peter Pan, Austin has always loved pirates. He even likes to dress up.

After School Snack

Brady waits all day for his brother to get home. Then he can be in the middle of their activities and even sit down for an after school snack.

Happy Little Guy

We've been really having a great time watching Brady grow up. While he still has his times of crabbiness, he has become a lot happier and more fun.

ITS SNOW TIME

Apparently it snows a few times a winter in Enumclaw. It wasn't a white Christmas but there was snow late in December. Austin was excited to get out and play. He made a snow man and even got some help from Papa Nic. Hear are a couple of pictures.

GO SEAHAWKS!

It was a fun and exciting evening at the Muniz home. We welcomed our close friends, Alexei and Shannon down for dinner and to watch the Seahawks game. Shelby made some amazingly good White Chicken Chili and we watched an amazingly good game. All day Dylan said he was going to root for the Cowboys, but he wised up by gametime. We all sweated, cheered and rejoiced when the Seahawks pulled off a miracle win. FOOTBALL RULES!

A Visit from Gramma Cheryl and Papa Nic

It was great to have a visit from Gramma Cheryl and Papa Nic after Christams. They stayed for five fun-filled days. Of course, they brought Christmas presents from Virginia Beach. During their visit the boys had their pictures taken and we took a trip down to Vancouver WA to visit some other family. It was sad to see them go. Here are a couple of pictures from the visit and with the cousins.

Christmas Morning

It was great waking up Christmas morning and having Grammy Shel and Poppy Carl there with us. The Muniz boys woke up bright and early at 6:30am ready to see what Santa had brought. Dylan loved his Mario Strikers soccer video game and Austin loved his Mega T-Rex dinosaur. Brady got a cool series of small tents and tubes to crawl around in. Christmas is so much fun with kids.

More Christmas with Gramma Deb

Here are a few more pictures of our Christmas with Gramma Deb.

Christmas at Gramma Deb's

The family made the short trip to Port Angeles the weekend before Christmas to celebrate Christmas with Gramma Deb and big Papa Dave. We had a great dinner and opened gifts. Some of the highlights of the presents were a digital camera for Gramma Deb, Spiderman boxer shorts for big Papa Dave, a remote control dinosaur for Dylan and a remote control Orca whale for Austin. It was a great evening spending time with family.

Gingerbread House

One of the fun activities our family got to do this Christmas season was make a gingerbread house. They come in some really fun kits that make it really easy to do. There was lots of sweet white icing and plenty of candy and gum to snack on too. This could be the beginning of a family tradition.
