two handsome firemen cross my path

now i am not the kind of girl to get all crazy over a guy in a uniform. i am a suit kind of girl. my dad wore a suit to work everyday and so i definitely have a thing for guys in a nice suit. i love the movie ocean's 11 for their suits alone and am constantly trying to dress my poor hubby accordingly. now donnavan is far from a suit kind of guy. when we first met, his idea of dressing up was putting on his full biker gear. he cringes if i even mention a shopping trip together. if life had gone according to his plan, his work suit of choice would have been a uniform and included a gun and shiny badge. but life loves to throw us for a loop. recently though, donnavan was able to spice up his life a little and help fulfill some strong male testosterone urges (along with use some of his amazing skills and talents in helping people in critical need). enter two handsome firemen. you see donnavan has become a volunteer firefighter for our community. at every possible chance he dons his firefighter gear and is very much an asset to the fire department.

now you may be wondering who the other handsome firefighter i saw was. no, i have not been eyeing any other men in donnavan's department. the other firefighter in my life is much younger and his stint will end shortly after halloween. you see hayden wanted to be a firefighter for halloween. okay, so "wanted to be" might be stretching the truth a little. after being declined the opportunity to be a fighter pilot and spiderman due to sizing issues and mother's disapproval, a firefighter was one of the few choices left. but let's not mention that to donnavan. it would break his proud father's heart.

the two handsome firemen.



every little boys dream come true!

would have been a way cooler pic if the firemen cleaned their trucks every once in awhile (j/k, okay kind of).

while donnavan was out of town one day, i got the "brightest" idea to get some sillhouettes of my boys. about 6:30 at night i pulled them out the door because the sunset looked gorgeous. of course, by the time we actually got somewhere that you could see the sky the beautiful sunset was turning into some gray clouds with pink tinges. not quite worth all that effort. oh well. live and learn.

and last but definitely not least...

yes, my baby is turning one. i made up these little invitations to send to family. isn't he simply the cutest (aside from hayden of course!). this next one i loved but it was not near as cute when i tried to make it square for the invitation.

okay, i'm done already!
