Happy Birthday Momma!

Its my BEAUTIFUL Mommas birthday this week... I wont say how old she is, mostly because I dont know!! haha How old are you Mom?!?!

We love our Momma more that any mom has ever been loved... she is one of the best blessings to my life and God could not have chosen a better woman to guide me through this life.

Mom, you have been there through it all, wiping my tears, holding my hand, spoiling me rotten, encouraging me, reminding me of who I am, strengthening me, telling me how it really is, and letting me think I know more than I probably do. You would never let me fail, not even a chance.You are the one constant in my life that I can depend on and lean on! Thank you for pouring your life into me and Randi and Dad. You are the rock! Love you more than you will ever know for all the things you dont even know you did by just being mine!

....and here is 'the mom poem' (mom, you know I have to always write you a pOeM!) hehe

Happy birthday, Mom!

I hope everyone can see,

What a great mom you’ve always been,

And how much you mean to me.

I always think about you,

In times both good and bad,

For the things you taught are with me,

In happy times and sad.

So on this day I wish you joy,

Just like you pass around.

May all your good times multiply,

And happiness abound.

It’s your birthday, Mom.

So I will raise a cheer.

For without you, wondrous person,

I would not be here.

Yes, I owe it all to you, Mom.

From the time that I was small,

You encouraged me in everything,

And tried not to let me fall.

Throughout my life your caring,

Brightened each and every minute.

You loved me and enriched my life,

And I’m so glad to have you in it!

AND HERE ARE A FEW FAVORITE MOM MOMENTS.... WITH CARLOS AND ANNIE

1 '...who let the dogs out.....who who who who...'


2 calling home at 2 am crying because I saw a Pampers commercial, just needed to tell you I love you


3 our Easter trips to Salt Lake


4 sanding next to your bed until you woke up scared


5 being SO EXCITED to suprise you at Christmas by coming home a week early and all you could say was... Is Carlos Coming?!?! thanks mom


6 weraing your silky nightgowns to elementary school under my real clothes cuz I wanted to be like you.... you might not even know that I did this... haha


7 bleaching all of your hair out so you would look 'natural'. You tried to be a good sport but later told me you creid! awe... ------> LOL!


8 cleaning and organizing my new house, old apartment, and almost everywhere else Ive lived... your SO good at it ;)

10 being my first 'client'... a few moments later, earless client... but non the less my first!





Carlos says ' your cutie, i love you mamma!'





We hope you have a very blesses birthday MOM! Love, Nanna

hEy! SO for some reason, we have fallen off the planet... I thought I would use this blog so much more since we live so far from family. Too bad life takes over and you run out of time to remember it.... But good news, our TV just broke and Carlos is in another world playing superstar football or something like that. He wont even notice that Ive been on the computer for hours!

Little Osa is sitting in the confinement of her kennel. Poor girl, I had let her outside and a while later saw her by the back door wanting in, for a moment I thought she had a chew bone stuck sideways in her mouth, like between her cheeks, like he cheeks were really wide and sticking out... hmmm... we dont know what happened but it was her little face, no bone, just all swollen up! She really looks like she has two tennis balls in her cheeks. So after a half dose of benedryl we locked her up. I hope she is feeling better, I cant imagine what it would be like to have a sick child...

What else has been going on.... Carlos went to the ER the other night thinking he was having a stroke! His body is in alot of pain, mostly from all of his sports injurys, so we are hoping the Dr's will figure it out sooner or later... He could use your prayers for sure...

We found out that Tomas is getting a little sister on March 2nd!!! Yay, I am so excited its a girl... For all of you who might not know we take care of Tomas, he is our little buddy, but not our child! Although we wouldnt mind...

Carlos will be taking off in 2 weeks for eastern Idaho to head up a project for his company... Boo, I could not be sadder about this but atleast we have good jobs in this crazy time. Very thankful for that... so I will be found all alone, tears streaming, maybe wandering the streets aimlessly?? Lets hope I make it apart from him, I am sure I will but the point is, it will be a challange!

We are looking forward to Moms Randi's Robby's Grandma and Grandpas birthdays this next two weeks, so in advance.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY! WE LOVE YOU... XOxo Xoo
