Meet the newest member of the Thornock household

Meet Macey May. She is our newest member. She is a maltese. She is 2 years old and only weighs 4 lbs. She is a tiny little thing. She has been a great dog. She hardly ever barks. She is really good with the kids.

Brin is seen below taking the dog to show-and-tell at her school. And as you can tell she is totally a girly dog.

NASCAR Weekend in Las Vegas

Carson and I attended NASCAR Weekend in Las Vegas at the end of February. We absolutely had a blast. Somebody at work said that NASCAR was an acronym for Non Athletic Sport Centered Around Rednecks. It is something I ever thought that I would attend, but it is something awesome to see in person. It is a pretty amazing spectacle. This year we were able to attend the whole weekend of events and races.

Carson was really excited to back at track on the qualifying day.

We rented a scanner this year that came with a tv that enhanced the races. I highly recommend doing this if you ever attend. Below dad and son are in deep discussion about the days activities.

This place is huge. It holds 140,000 people. I have to admit it is one heck of a redneck convention. I have never seen so many mullets in my life. It was amazing to see how many varieties of mullets exist.

Outside the track they had cool things to do and see. below are a couple of the motion machines that Carson got to ride on.

Carson got to pose with the car of one of his favorite drivers, Kasey Kahne.He also really likes Jeff Gordon. Here he is seen passing by at 180 mph. I would have shown more race photos, but my little camera wasn't fast enough.
Carson seen here dreaming about his future career.Here is a shot of the 140,000 strong that attended the main event.
I have to give a big thank you to my sister Kellie for letting us crash at her place for the weekend. Thanks again.

Happy 6th Birthday Carson!

Carson celebrated his sixth birthday on February 24th. He had been asking for a skateboard for his B-day, so Julie decided to make him a skateboard cake. One of his gifts might just become an annual tradition of ours. Carson received NASCAR tickets this year again. We had such a great time last year, so we decided on a return trip.

And of course, he did receive his skateboard.

Happy Birthday Buddy!

If this doesn't bring it to life, I don't know what will.

Cannon Turns 4!

On February 18th, Cannon celebrated his fourth birthday. Julie always makes the cutest cakes for the kids. Cannon really wanted a dragon cake, so Julie came up with this masterpiece.

"I'll huff and puff and blow you all out!"I believe he had an awesome birthday. His favorite gift was his new dvds of the Jurasic Park Trilogy. He loves dinosaurs.

Where to begin again?

It has been so long that I don't even know where to start. I might just give a brief recap of the past 2 1/2 months.
