For mother’s day this year I just wanted to take a nice walk in the park at sunset.

And get a couple pictures of me with Jack and Felix. Happy mother’s day to me!

Just a few impromptu pictures of the boys as they enjoyed their pizza picnic supper.

As much as I love photos of my boys that are a bit more planned out, I really love capturing our everyday life, when their faces are covered with pizza sauce:) ChildrenChildrenChildrenChildren

How did this little boy get such thick, long eyelashes?? Children

This next photo is one of my all time favourites of Jack. It’s just so him. I love the light in his eyes when he smiles from his heart.ChildrenChildrenChildrenChildren

And just goofing off with cherry tomatoes:) Children

This year the boys have really gotten into Toy Story. They’ve watched all 3 of the movies MANY times and I often catch them quoting movie lines to each other. Obvious lines like “To Infinity and Beyond!” and “There’s a Snake in my Boot”, but also some more hilariously obscure lines like “You see the hat? I’m Mrs Nesbitt! Hahahaha!!” It’s pretty awesome.

So, naturally, a Toy Story Party for their 3rd birthday just made sense. Jack and Felix had so much fun playing games with their friends and eating their weight in sugar. Thanks to all our family and friends who were able to come and celebrate with us!

If you’re planning your own Toy Story Party make sure you check out the links at the bottom for recipes and printables that I used to decorate.InvitationToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyMarch2016-139Toy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyToy Story PartyPhotography by Carlin Anquist – to see my wedding and lifestyle work head on over to the main site.
