Mimi and Gordie

Mom (affectionately called 'Mimi' by Ashton when he was a little boy, and it stuck) came into town this weekend. We shopped all day today... in the rain! It was fun, especially since I purchased CUTE rubber boots! We were exhausted when we got home, so mom changed into some comfy clothes and was relaxing on the couch when Gordie decided he needed to be close to MIMI!

Can you tell who rules the roost!!!!?!!

Bathroom Tile... Our 1st one!

Well, I got this 'wild hair' and decided that I wanted to Tile our guest bathroom before Mom got here for the weekend. So, I signed Shawn & I up for the Tile Class at Home Depot last Saturday morning. It was an informative class and we felt like we had learned enough to be dangerous! We purchased the necessary items and returned home to TILE THE BATHROOM! After Shawn had worked for a few hours measuring, remeasuring, cutting and placing the tiles, we realized that we were 7, count that, 7 tiles SHORT!! Ohhhh... I was in trouble!! The typical response would be "Go to Home Depot and purchase 7 more tiles"... The problem was that I had been given the tiles and was told (by an obvious non-tiler) that we had enough to tile the floor. All of this occured after 9pm on Saturday night, so we cleaned up and went to bed.

I got up at the early on Sunday morning to be at Home Depot when they opened to purchase the correct amount of New Tile.

With all said tile purchased, I returned home to a weary hubby who was such a good sport. He measured, cut and mortared his hiney off all morning. We had to wait 24 hours for the mortar to dry so he got to enjoy the race and rest his back.

Monday Shawn reset the toilet, grouted the tile and we are COMPLETE!!

Check out Shawn in action and the result!

Good job, honey.... Now only one more bathroom AND our kitchen to go!! :-)

Reynolds Slow Cooker Liner No Scrub RV Club... WE WON!!!

I entered my Dad & Stepmom into the 'Reynolds Slow Cooker Liner No Scrub RV Club' in February. They had to take a photo of the them with a Slow Cooker Liner Box while vacationing in their RV. They took the photo in front of the Yellowstone National Park sign.

I received a call on Friday informing me that we had won!

The GRAND PRIZE was a $1000.00 gift card to Camping World!!

So, since I found the contest and my parents took the photo, and I entered them into it, we are splitting the prize!

I am soooo excited to have "Free" money to spend at Camping World!!! :-)

Shawn wins the Match Game Championship!!!!

I am so proud of him!! :-)
