Weekend recap and what's for dinner

This past weekend we got to see lots of friends and family. On Friday afternoon before we left Iowa City, my college roommate Kristi and her boyfriend Matt stopped over and met Wyatt. I'm a dope and forgot to take a picture of them with Wyatt. Next time! They came back for Homecoming, and Kristi's cousin was crowned Homecoming Queen! Now Kristi's family has a monopoly on being Homecoming Queen as she was also crowned Homecoming Queen for her senior year.

We drove up to Cedar Falls on Friday night and relaxed with my parents and Grandma B. On Saturday Aaron spoiled me with a facial and massage at Jiva Salon - it was a really great stress-reliever as this past week was a doozy! Then we caught up with Matt and Hilary at Pump Haus - we might drive them crazy because every time we meet up with them in CF we always want to go there for lunch! Good burger and onion rings... :) Here they are hanging out with Wyatt (notice he's sporting his Hawkeye hat in support of the Iowa football game later that day :) ).

Saturday afternoon most of my family came over to my parent's house and we caught up with all of them. We also got to meet little Ainsley Searfoss - she is a cutie! Again, I'm a dope and forgot to take pictures. But, you can check out Suzy's blog to see Ainsley. On Sunday, Aaron and I had a low-key morning just relaxing, and then that afternoon we drove around to different open houses with my parents to get a feel for what houses are selling for in Cedar Falls. It's exciting to think about graduating from dental school and moving to CF to practice! But, buying a house is an intimidating process... we are praying that it will all fall into place at the right time for us. We have been very blessed to live in our current house in Iowa City - hopefully we will be able to sell it in a timely manner!
Saturday night I actually stayed up and watched the Hawkeye game - I'm glad I did! It was quite the nail-biter at the end! I was nervous we weren't going to beat Michigan (and then there would be a riot in Iowa City! :) ) but we managed to get the win, so hurray! 6-0 baby!

Anyway, here's a picture of what Wyatt did in CF - jumpy chair time! He's really changing... I know I say that alot, but he's getting so big!


And, what's for dinner tonight... I have been trying to eat more vegetables lately since I want Wyatt to grow up and eat vegetables! So, I've been branching out and trying new ones. Tonight I sauteed some red potatoes, zucchini, and yellow squash in olive oil with garlic, and it was really good! We had cheeseburgers with it... that wasn't very adventurous, but they were tasty! Aaron is a much better cook than I am, so he showed me how to toss the veggies in the oil in the pan. I'm learning - I don't think I will ever have the natural talent that he has for cooking, but I'm doing my best! :)
