Charlee's pink and purple pig party

Charlee turned four this year and for her birthday i asked her what she wanted to do and she said she wanted a piggy party, but ONLY if she could have REAL piggies at her party.  and of course i said... no problem!!!

so here are some pictures of her pink and purple pig party...

Charlee with her brand new bike.  it was waiting for her in her room when she woke up

and, also notice the cute outfit she is wearing... that is her present from grandma and grandpa stovall!!!  she looked very cute on her birthday:)

 We ended up going to a place called center grove orchard.  its basically a huge farm that we can play on!!!

For the party i made charlee some super cute princess pig cake pops!!!  they turned out pretty cute and tasted pretty good too:)

 here is jett jordan damon and charlee... you probably cant tell by the looks on their faces, but they are having a WONDERFUL time:)

 here are all of charlee's fun foods and presents.

we had pink pig cake pops, purple birthday cake, purple (grape) capri sun and kool aid, and pigs in a blanket:)  i didnt get very many pictures of her presents, but she got lots of good loot.  from barbies to my little ponies, to a dress up pig, and a princess piggy bank, and a make-it-yourself purse, and dumbo...

 Jett with the goats:)

 and it wouldnt be a piggy party without a picture with the piggies:)

my camera died halfway through the party, so jordan has the rest on his camera, but there was a corn pool and a tractor/train ride, and a giant slide, and a bouncing pillow.  lots of fun was had at charlee's pink and purple pig party:)

matthews halloween

SOOO... around here we had halloween on sunday night, so instead of trick or treating on the regular night we just hit up both our ward trunk or treat and jordan's parent's ward trunk or treat:)

charlee was jessie from toy story and jett was buzz.

there was another girl in our ward, laura, that dressed up as jessie too:)  they looked pretty cute together:)

 Charlee and Jett with all of their loot...

 Charlee posing... by the way, i just have to add that i made charlee's costume myself!!!  i was so proud.  i made her hat, her hair, and her shirt and ordered her leggings off of etsy and i think it all came together so good:)

 her jessie yarn hair braid...

 Jett's costume was AWESOME!!!  the wings light up and everything!!!

 all of us together... jordan and i wore our superhero outfits from the race for the cure:)

My elk

I did get my elk this year but due to the pit that I shot it in I had to ask for help from the Cieler family to retrieve it.
