A Trip to Jordan

 For Jesse's actual birthday, we were in Jordan. We got to go help our friend's the Montgomery's! Fortunately for us, we also got to have a lot FUN and eat some good stuff...like DONUTS!!!

 So embarrassing for everyone to sing!

 But the donuts were FOR REAL!!!

 I didn't get many pictures of our time there, but here are a few highlights. We went to help them pack up to move to another country. So our kids were on "Kid Duty"...one afternoon Toby picked apricots for Catie and fanned her with palm leaves. Too cute. 

 Cutie Catie!

 Toby showing off his muscles!

 We all fought over who got to hold Hannah. What a doll! We may have spoiled her during our stay, holding her any time she cried. 

 The Three Amigos played from sun up to sun down! They were instant friends and played so well together! What a huge blessing for all of us. 

PURE JOY!

 In the evenings, we got to go out to eat! We tried to go to FUN places for the kids. On this night, we went to the park and the guys walked and got fast food for us! What a treat!

 Annie could not get enough of Hannah. Annie learned to change her, feed her, burp her, put her to sleep...you name it! She was the Baby Whisperer!

 I even got to take a few shots of the kids in their 1, 2, 3, 4 shirts. Adorable.

Little Jacob was a total heart stealer. Had so much fun with him and all his stories and cute antics.

 In a burst of creative genius the kids designed these Clone backpacks with the awesome cereals we got to eat all week! Unfortunately it really was only a creative burst as the design only lasted a few minutes before falling apart...we were never able to have everyone's box working all at once.

 The last night we were there, we all packed up and stayed at a nice hotel with a pool. We didn't make it there until dusk and the pool had closed, but we sweet talked them into letting us swim for a few minutes. It was really COLD, but the kids loved it and their feet were clean for the first time all week!

 WORTH IT!

It was an awesome trip! We had such a great time being with the Montgomery's and working shoulder to shoulder. I think we are bonded for life!
