For those of you who don't know that I am a HUGE garage sale, thrift store fan (ok, who doesn't know that) Here are my favorite finds of the week! This pot was only 5 bucks and the mirror was 20!

Wyatt the photographer! He took these pictures all on his own! He sure is taking after his Grammie! He asks to take pictures all the time. He still doesn't quite get it that you have to see the faces on the screen to get them in the picture hense the last one! Otherwise he did pretty good and is so excited to see what he has taken.

It was a bit chilly today and overcast but our garden looks great!


This is how Weston joined in the gardening fun, he lasted about 20 minutes, which is 20 minutes longer than I expected.

We put in a garden! It was a lot of work and more money than anticipated but we are so excited to have our garden!We have just about everything you can think of from corn to peppers, to herbs, pumpkins, to tomatoes!
Wyatt loved helping and wants to work in the garden constantly.

This sweet gem is the Plastic chandelier that was in our office used to be dining room. Needless to say we replaced it but I couldn't resist the picture. When we took it down Wyatt said "Oh, a diamond, this is special!"

This is our beautiful, huge backyard. We are putting in a garden this week and are so excited about it.

Here is our living room with some furniture in it. We found the red couch at a garage sale and I love, love, love it!

Wyatt is always walking around in our shoes, it is too cute. He put these on as we were leaving, I guess they are easier to slip on than his own!

Wyatt is so precious, we went to our new ward on Sunday and Wyatt sat down in nursery next to a little boy and said" Hi, my name is Wyatt Lawson Duffy, what is yours?" The other boy just looked at him. Too cute!

These are the finished project pictures. Wyatt still says, oops I touched the walls everytime he does because we had to tell so many times not to when we were painting. Wyatt loves his new house and is always telling us "this is my new house, it is really big." He also says" we live in Michigan, that is in Grand Blanc."

Painting an camping out on the floor. We thought our stuff was going to arrive within 1-3 days by the time we got to Michigan, it ended up being 7 days! It was a very long week. But we took the opportunity to paint and repaint, due to my indecision. We also removed wall paper,which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy! We sure love owning our first house!

This so optimizes my boys relationship. Wyatt is a rough and tumble and has a hard
time being soft with anyone or anything, Weston is simply overwhelmed.

Weston is at the stage when he is starting to have so many different expressions. His little personality is just so cute! I especially love the last one, he stretches all the time and always makes this "stretch" face!
