how can they be so cute apart yet so goofy together?! this is the best attempt at getting a picture of them anywhere near each other. sad, i know.
so the rest will be of them apart...as usual.

sea world
we took a mini vacation a couple of weeks ago to san antonio. we stayed at a hotel on the riverwalk one night and then with kylah for the next two. much fun!
this was jacob's second trip to sea world and casen's first. they had a blast! and we had fun watching them!
casen obviously looks thrilled here. :) he was probably pouting because jacob got out of the car first...a daily fight in the ramirez household.
casen was too scared to get in the picture.
can you see casen clinging to jerry? i'm telling you...terrified!
we did NOT sit in the splash zone. i just can't make myself do it.
this was jacob's first roller coaster ride ever. he was quite thrilled. actually, this was his second. he rode it once earlier in the day, but i didn't get a picture. he was with jerry, and i was busy looking for one of the bands to my wedding ring. i'll give you one guess who was responsible...casen! a whole other story. :)

and then there's this...
we just got home a little while ago from a mini vacation.
as we're unpacking, i'm trying to pick up the house at the same time. i'm rearranging things on shelves and putting things away.
i was reorganizing the pile of things we have on our nightstand.
i picked up my bible to move it and noticed and ant on it. (that's a whole other story.) anyway, i shook my bible to get the ant off and a small envelope fell out.
the envelope was from one of our women's retreats. it simply said "my beloved" on the front.
i pulled out the card inside and it read, "my eyes and affections are upon you now."
i remember being at the retreat and getting that card and thinking, how does this apply to me now? i struggled with the meaning then.
but man, i get it now.
how appropriate. how perfect. how simply...Him.
i opened my bible to put it into some random spot and i came to the book of Numbers. i started reading through and remembered that in my older bible, the one that has ALL the notes and underlines, and highlights in it that i had marked a specific portion of Numbers. my current bible is the Message version. i couldn't easily recognize the verse so i went and pulled out my other bible. i immediately found it.
Numbers 6:22 - 27 (NKJV)
22 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: "Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, 'This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them: 24 "The Lord bless you and keep you; 25 The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; 26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.'" 27 "So they shall put my name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them."
all i could do was smile.
what an awesome God we serve.
