Today we went to the new boardwalk that opened in Shreveport, LA. It was wonderful! It is such a beautiful place to shop and it also has some great stores. Of course, we had to go to the Bass Pro Shops. What would a trip to Shreveport be without that! Garrison and I bought Landon his father's day/anniversary present. We bought him a muzzleloader since his other one was stolen when our house was broken into a few months ago.Mexican prisons
My brother, Scuba Steve, and a friend left Thursday to go to Mexico for a short road trip. They wanted to stay there and absorb the culture, in other words, get really plastered. They ended up getting hooked in a scam run by Mexican police and a taxi cab driver and being areested. They really didn't do anything wrong, and the cops immediately told them that they could "buy" their way out of jail for $50 each, so they did. They went back to their hotel for the night, got up the next morning and bought souvieneers (sp) and came home. That kid is always into something! He was excited because "it will be a good story when he gets old"....I hope that's the most exciting one of that nature that he has to tell.
Hair cuts
Garrison got an awesome hair cute this morning. He got a lot cut off and looks like such a little man!!! I'll take a pic and post it later.
Ice cream
I made my first trip to the Cold Stone Creamery (isn't that what it's called?) today and YUMMY!! That was absolutely amazing! I don't think store bought ice cream will ever be the same for me again!
Anniversary Gift
Landon wants to know what I want for our anniversary, but I have absolutely no idea what to ask for! I guess it's a good thing to be satisfied and not need anything, but I guess I need to come up with something. Then again, I wish he could come up with something fabulous on his own so that I will be surprised. I love surprises!!
Photo contest
A local festival is sponsoring a cutest baby contest and I'm going to enter some photos of Garrison. I want to enter the funniest picture contest, but I'm kinda stumped on what to enter. I was thinking about a pic with his pouty face on, but I'm not sure. They have a "serious" category too, but I am absolutely stumped as to what type of pic would be entered in that one!
Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!

To spot me in a crowd: I'm the one with frizzy messed-up hair, smeared graham crackers on my shirt; huge purse with a diaper peeking out, toddler on her hip, and camera in hand at all times.
