Proof Emma is still 6
I can't remember the complete conversation between Tori and Emma at the dinner table at Bam's last night....but the most memorable part of it was when Emma started tapping Tori on the head and said....
Emma: "I think your need to rebonk your remembery."
(Everyone at the table laughing)
Tracie: "what? What did you say?"
Nick: "you mean reboot your memory?"
Emma: "Oh...right."
We're Home from the best family va-ca eva!
WE …HAD… A … BLAST!!! This was by far the best family vacation we have ever taken. There will be lots of video and pictures coming soon….one in particular of Emma racing down the mountain. Tori is a ski pro now and has a complete no fear attitude when tackling a mountain. Emma could not be caught! She was super speedy and learned to ski so fast…without poles to...
Tori is home! We missed you kid.
Tori spent an exceptionally long weekend with Katie and it felt like she was gone forever! I snapped a few photos to commemorate the event. Emma and I made some sugar cookies to help drive away the descendingly dreary gray day that has parked itself on top of the city. In the photo of the cookies are my beautiful roses. I picked them up at the grocery store to brighten the dinner table...
Her Cheeks look better...
As you can see by the photo below below….Emma’s cheeks look a lot better. She was rosey this morning, but it really seems to have faded. I hope that improves even more as we get closer to our vacation…. so beautiful. I can’t wait to see the girls ski.
Fifth Disease
Emma has had very red cheeks for about a week now. They first colored up when we finally had a warm break in the winter weather, and I thought, “maybe she got a little sun.” I got concerned last night b/c they were still there. No fever, no complaining, just red cheeks. She had been a little stuffy and sneezy these past couple of days so I had been giving her an allergy pill to...
Take the Picture
This is one of Nick’s favorite tricks for Emma. I find it quite histerical, just b/c Emma is so naturally funny. YouTube - Take the Picture
Recital Common Questions →
I have been hearing some question floating around about recital, especially for first-timers.
Here are the most common:
1. Do they have class the week after the recital?
2. Is the fee for may…
Free Rice
This is a super cool website. My sister introduced me to it and apparently Tori went on the site during her English class and had a race to see who get win the most grains in a 48 minutes. For people like me who kinda like something fun to to do on the internets when my blog reader is empty, this is perfect and I am feeding hungry people. Freerice.com is a vocabulary game that gives you...
Expression was fab
Tonight was Expression’s first show with the new material and I heard some great reviews. The stage was not square and it was carpet (which I knew) and the girls were a little thrown, but they did great. I was so busy running the show, that I failed to video. I know- loser. I am hoping one will surface soon so I can post it. A special thanks to Julie for letting us crash her show. The...
Soup at Hand
Ok- so Tori lead me to “Soup at Hand” soups b/c she wanted to take them in her lunch b/c apparently this is popular in junior high. Soup. I mean kids these days. They really do warm you right up, and only take about 2 minutes to get perfect for sipping. This our review of the different flavors we have tried so far: Chicken with Mini Noodles- Tracie- I liked it, not my favorite...
Seriously? It's snowing?
nickdavis: traciedavis: I have told Winter repeatedly that we are broken up. Yes we broke up, it’s over. I consider snow just stupid at this point. What once (be it a long time ago) was a beautiful magical thing, is now stupid and tedious. Please tell Winter that I am now with Spring and to go away. Take a hint. GO AWAY WINTER. Winter is still here at my request. Please dear, you’re...

Plans...
I have been reading a lot of blogs lately with lists of stuff people want to do before they die. While I thought this was kinda cool at first, now I just think that the list should be called “plans.” I am going to make a list of things I PLAN to do in the not so far off future. Here’s my go. Go back to Europe- Nick and I had so much fun in Spain on our honeymoon 8 years ago,...
