I pretty much ate my way through birthday week. It was heavenly. I had absolutely no issues with turning 30. I was excited because it's a big milestone, but I wasn't depressed. I think it helped that most of my friends turned 30 before (or waaayyyy before) me, and I just wanted to be part of the club!
The week before my birthday, Steve gave me my iphone. For the longest time I was convinced I didn't need one. I was fine with my old phone and didn't want my kids bugging me to play on a fancy one all the time. But then I had baby number 3 and all of a sudden I couln't find 5 minutes to sit at the computer to check emails, renew library books, play scrabble with my dad (I got in big trouble for this)or blog. The new phone has been so convenient...it does everything. Well, almost everything. If only it could make dinner and clean...then I could handle 3 kids a whole lot better. Anyway, the point is, all these pics are from the new phone.

Kick off to birthday week was lunch with my best girls. Katie and I have birthdays one day apart so we always get to spend them together. This time we went to Firefly and ate pretty much everything on the menu. It was all delicious and so fun to get together with everyone. We all seem SO busy now with a million kids and school in full swing...we don't get together as much as we used to. So grateful for all of them!
Next it was a night out with my man. So grateful to our friends for watching all 3 kids so we could go alone. Dinner was Mesa Grill. My salmon was pretty yummy. Then we walked to Serendipity because I LOVE their chocolate peanut butter frozen hot chocolate. Tasted good especially because it was way hot outside.
Birthday swim!
This is what's left of my birthday pizookie. Got this with girls from my ward this time. I used a plate so they would still be friends with me. Thanks girls!
And last but not least, on my actual birthday our good friends had us over for a yummy dinner and lemon birthday cake. I think I gained 10 lbs that week but it was all worth it.
3 kids at 30. I really like them. Usually.
Sometimes I can't believe I'm 30. It seems like such a grown up age, but sometimes I still feel like I'm 18! I wonder if it will always be that way no matter how old I get.

It is really weird that you do still feel the same no matter how old you get. You are fantastic at 30 and that is such a great time in life. All your birthday treats look SO yummy, I would settle for any one of them right now. Love the picture of you and Steve and I am so grateful you have such wonderful girl friends,they make all the difference in life. I'm glad to hear you like your three precious children because they are great. Hope thirty is a wonderful year!

You are the most beautiful 30 year old I've every known. And I seriously mean that. You make having 3 kids look like it's actually manageable and possible. I wonder how many I'll have by 30? Yikes, I'll enjoy the 1 for now. Love all the pictures... especially the ones of the food. Best birthday week ever! Love you!
wow. 3 kids! that sounds so overwhelming! I remember before maddie having tons of kids sounded so fun- haha- i look at you and think- how am i gonna get there?!! you look amazing, and beautiful. that's great you had so many get togethers and such a fun week for your birthday. such cute kids emily! it seems like forever you just had easton and now all of a sudden you have 3! went by fast! love you!
30 is great! I wasn't one of the ones who turned waaaay before you, was I? :) Just a few years... Next year I won't have just had a baby so we can celebrate our birthdays together.
The age thing. I'm starting to think it will never feel normal. 3 kiddos. Wow. I can't believe what a stick you already look like! I hope that happens to me! Glad it was a great weak. Eating your whole body weight in sugar is good sometimes :) That's how I've been lately.
Happy birthday! It looks like such a fun week! You and your family are so beautiful!
Looks like you had a delicious birthday week, happy 30th!
Happy Birthday, Emily! Also, everything is calorie free on your birthday. I'm pretty sure some doctor said that one time.
Wow. I was really behind in reading your blog. Nice way to spend my Sunday morning. Exciting about your Iphone. I just downgraded back to a regular phone, and I kinda miss it. But I really wasn't using it enough to pay for a smart phone! Anyway... I'm with Jenni about you being the most beautiful 30 year old! Love all the pictures! Miss you guys, and am thinking about you always.
hey you, happy birthday! (belated). my 30s are even better than my 20s. hope all is well the kids are dolls. and the iPhone, fyi, is the best "boyfriend" i've ever had (he's always get the right answer; gives me everything i want, and only talks back when he is spoken to) ;-)
