30 and lovin' it!

Yep, that's right! I turned 30! I actually had a great birthday. My birthday was on a Sunday, and I was literally able to relax all day. Mike took care of Kira the whole day. I also didn't puke the entire day which even makes it a more successful birthday! Mikey made me breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I took a long nap. When I woke up from my nap, Mike had put little notes all over the house for me. So I had this trail of messages to follow. He arranged for someone to watch Kira so we could have a candlelight dinner too, along with some of the bubbly. It was an excellent night. I was so spoiled with visits, gifts, and calls from friends and family. I feel so blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family. I guess that was even more why I felt so good. I feel like at 30 I am tremendously blessed with all the great things in my life! Fabulous husband, the cutest little girl in the world, great family, wonderful friends, the Gospel, pregnant with another babe, all the good stuff.

Mike surprised me by taking school off on Monday and took me up to Mt. St. Helens. It was awesome! The drive was about 2 hours. We had a great time exploring and checking out the mountain. We had a little picnic as a family and checked out some of the beautiful lakes and rivers around the area. It was a great day. I've determined that 30 is a great age!

Here's the family pic on my birthday.

My gifts from Mikey and Kira including the Snuggie which I love.

Kira discovered snow for the first time (that she remembers).
