Sorry for not updating this blog for forever and three days. It has been busy around the Thornock household. We are currently ripping out our old kitchen. Just last night I finished tiling it. I am so glad that that phase is done, but the worst phase is still to come, grouting. I absolutely hate grouting. I thought about posting a pic of the tile but I want to give a before and after blog, so I will wait until then. I will grout the stinking tile this weekend. Our new cabinets are scheduled to be installed on Jan. 30th. I can't wait for that to happen. We are still able to use our stove (cause it is light enough to move around the room and bring it back for dinner) and microwave (for another 5 days). It sucks not having a dishwasher. So we simplified and bought alot of paper plates, bowls, cups and plastic utensils. After our cabinets are installed, the Granite company will come in and measure for our countertops. It will take approx. one more week for that to be cut and installed. All in all, we will be without a kitchen for over 3 weeks. Luckily we had that sink put in our new mud room. That has helped a ton. Still loving the drinking fountain. It will be nice to have this kitchen done......but then there is always more work to do. My next job will be tiling the entry to the kitchen. More tile, yeah! I believe my wife has plans for pergo in the palor and hallway to the upstairs bedrooms. After that I might get some time off from the inside and move my energy to the yard again.
I am in a dilema, I still haven't posted any Christmas or New Year's pics, but I am a little hazy on the blog rules. Is it too far in the past to make that type of update?
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!
"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.
We didn't get very good dance pictures, however we did video it and they turned out good. I need to learn how to upload video to this blog.
I asked myself the same thing, "what in the world is on his head?" Well, Carson did a cute polar bear dance.
Here are a couple of pics of Carson showing off a move called the "Cheerio."
It was now ready for the kids to decorate.
And they were off.
Chloe had the method of decorating down. One on the house, two in the mouth.
Nearing completion. Everyone stopped for a pose.
The end result.
