Fun Packed Weekend

Gavin and I have had so much fun this weekend! Friday night I went and saw "Water for Elephants", Gavin didnt assit me... dont ask why.

I missed him so much during the movie though. It is definately one of my favorite movies of all time. I love Reese Witherspoon, and Robert Patterson acutally acted in this movie and spoke, unlike the Twilight films. If you havent seen it, take some tissues, dont be afraid to close your eyes on some parts and be sure to take your hubby for some comfort. I love the fashion trends of the 20's so it was so fun for me to see all of the different outfits that all the girls were wearing.
Speaking of fashion trends, who didnt watch the Royal Wedding. If you didnt, you definately missed out on some amazing stuff. Kate looked so beautiful in her wedding dress. It was so amazing and it made me want to have another wedding so bad. Let me rephrase that, not another marriage, just a wedding.

 Gorgeous right? The ceremony was so fun to watch and see what all the girls were wearing. I was so jealous of all the hats! If I could get away with wearing those without looking like a lady gaga wannabe, I totally would. oh wait, I live in misosula so... no one would even look twice.

This is Kate's party dress and... I am so jealous of it! Watching this wedding made me sooo excited for the weddings that are coming up. First, the wedding of Jen and Casey... sad dont know their new last name. Anyway, I am in dyer need of finding an amazing outfit for this occasion, and I am still on the search. Next, the wedding of Jeff and Kylee Beck! I am so excited for this one. Not only do I get to go back to Ventura for a few days, but I get to stay with the Allens, the couple I lived with down there, and I get to see my best friend Catherine who I miss sooo much! I also get to attend their sealing which I am excited for because I have never been in the LA temple except to do baptisms. No need for an outfit for this wedding though, thankfully I dont have to stress, because I was asked to be in the wedding party, which is so sweet. I am so happy for them, they are such good friends to me.

Back to this weekend, this morning we cleaned like crazy! Why is it such a project to clean every saturday when we live in a one bedroom apartment? I do know the answer to that, Im just pretending its a mystery. My visiting teachers came and it was so nice to get to know them. They brought such a great spirit into our home it made my day so great.

While I was chatting with the ladies gav and diesel went to petsmart. I called gav when we were finished and he told me I had to hurry to petsmart and see what was there! This is what I found...

Everyone, this is Wilson. Isnt he ADORABLE! He looks just about identical to Diesel when he was a puppy.

Okay to put it into perspective, Wilson is 2 months old and Diesel is 11 months old. Can you believe he has grown that much in only 9 months? It was fun to see them play and cuddle eachother in the isle of petsmart.

So on the radio earlier this week I heard about a casting call that the famous photographer Andrew Grant was having for his newest upcoming book "Rover". If you havent heard of it he takes pics just like this

of all different breeds of dogs and makes it into a huge coffee table book. Well, the casting call was tonight at the Paws Up resort which is just 45 min away. We decided what the heck and decided to go. We gave Diesel a bath which was a GREAT experience and he was photo ready. When we arrived we found out the event was called "Wine and Bitch". Dont worry, not technically swearing because they were meaning your dog :) dont worry shontel! 

 

Little did we know it was in a horse/rodeo arena, so we were not really properly dressed. It was cool though. We gave a sweet donation and we got food and entertainment for the night!

Diesel loved the dog bar, it was full of treats and flavored drinks for him all night. They also had complimentary tennis balls!

Chicken, Beef and Vegetable flavored water. Diesel sampled them all.

They had a way cool band playing the whole time it was cool!

Diesel even got a Bacon and Maple flavored snow cone! What a spoiled guy.

This picture is hard to tell but the police k9 dogs were there and they did a cool demonstration of what they do

After some good food and fun, the drive home was so pretty and relaxing

Diesel had such a fun day, he was out the minute we got in the car... and he is snoring as I type. We have a fun next couple month, including my Bday, anniversary and Gav's Bday... woop woop! So more fun to come!
