On Saturday, July 24th, we had Roderick's birthday bash! All of our friends and family were invited "under the sea" where the kids could play fishing games, swim in the kiddie pools, play on the coolest big toy, and hang out with lots and lots of other little ones. There was a great turn out and we were so happy everyone was able to come. The Kurtz-Harvie family even came all the way from Bellingham! A big thanks to everyone who helped us make this party what it was- nothing short of PERFECT! We could not have done it without you guys!
Roderick is not sure about the cake
I made this myself (okay, maybe that's a lie)
These are home-made for real

Here is a closer look. Yep, that's right! Roderick is going to be a Big Brother! I'm due on March 7th 2011!
The crowd reacts!
We are very excited for this new addition to our family. Not sure how I am going to do it with 2 kids under 2 but people do it all of the time right? God help me. We have not figured out the significance of July. Check this out...
July 12th 2008: We got married
July 25th 2009: We welcomed Roderick into our family
July 1st 2010: We find out we are having baby #2
Hmmm.

Since Roderick's actual birthday was Sunday, July 25th, we decided to extend our little party. I mean, who really has a birthday for one day in this family anyway?

Dale, Tara and SoJo were even there to help us celebrate! They are teachers in Thailand and were in town for the summer. It was so much fun getting to know this wonderful family!

Another HUGE thank you to all of you who helped us celebrate Roderick's 1st birthday. We love you all and thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Just so you know, I won't be doing this for Roderick's 2nd birthday. I think that will be much smaller. There dad. Now you have it in writing! XOXO
I'm so sad that we missed the big party -- and the big baby news! Congrats, Roderick, on turning one -- your life as you know it will never be the same (in a good way!) when you become a big brother :)
