The weekend + the haps

• You are getting this post bullet style.
• Reyna was invited to her very first friend from school birthday party this weekend. She had so much fun. It was pizza, cake, presents and bowling. This was Reyna's first time bowling (besides the Wii) and she rocked! I cannot tell you how many times she has asked me, "mama, when do we get to go bowling again"? I was very proud of her. Did I mention that her friend was a little boy? :) His name is Carter and sometimes she calls him Quarter. :)
• Instead of throwing Reyna a party at our house like we do every year, we have decided to change it up a little. We are heading over to Splash Universe with my parents, Bobby & Kaitlyn, Jades parents, Nathan & Lins. It is going to be a blast. We are staying the night and swimming both days. Of course, when I told Jade we would be right next door to Cabela's, he didn't have to think twice about the location of Reyna's party. lol. He was sold. The girls are so excited for a mini-getaway. PLUS, I will not have to stress about having to prepare my house for a party, which I do every year. I am excited that our families are heading over with us, as well. That will make the weekend complete, for sure!!! LOTS of pictures to come of our birthday girl.
• I have been searching high and low for a new foundation. Before the girls, I used Clinique. Then I had the girls and the choices I made for/on my face started slacking. I have noticed my skin has been changing a little bit. I was in Macy's a couple weeks ago and ended up at the MAC counter. I walked away with a mineral foundation/powder combo that I love! It makes my skin look and feel fabulous. I almost went with Bare Minerals, but am suuuuper happy with the product I chose.
• Over the weekend, a good friend of mine turned 30. Her sister and husband planned a surprise party for her @ one of our fave local places to eat, Daryls. It is where Jade & I had our wedding reception. Anyway, it was nice catching up with good friends over wine, food and good convo. Lauren (birthday girl) was shocked. It was fun to see the look on her face.
• Jade & I put the girls to bed tonight and a few minutes later, their door was opening. It was not Reyna who was coming out, but RUBY. Guess who learned to learned climb out of her crib??? Needless to say, her bed will be getting turned into a toddler bed tomorrow. Here we go.....
• I am having a hard time with balance. Why is it that I had an easier time with this when I was working??? This is something that I really need to work on because I am definitely finding balance with life right now.
• Speaking about balance, I did make a sushi date with some girls this Wednesday.
