You know how you can always remember how bad it hurts to stub your toe?.. yeah that hurt. Well I don't just have to remember anymore. OUCH!!! I really hate that feeling!

Sick Baby

Yesterday evening Harlee started getting sick and it just progressed. The night was hard with her running a fever of 103 and being down right miserable. I took her into the doctor today and she tested negative for strep so we are looking at a stupid virus. Just watching her today made me want to cry. And she DID cry. Almost non stop all day long. It really is heartbreaking to see your baby suffering. Tonight she was feeling a bit better but I think only because her fever is finally succumbing to the medicine I've been giving her all day, (which she absolutely does not like taking). So hopefully my little girl will start feeling better soon. And watch out moms, it is going around. Good Luck to the rest of you.

"It's amazing, Molly. The love inside, you take it with you."

I wanted to say something about Patrick Swayze, and the only word that keeps coming to mind is PASSION. He was passionate about everything he did and you could feel it in everything he did. He LIVED! Thanks Patrick for bringing passion into our lives! May you rest in peace now that your suffering is over.

Never Forget

I have a very patriotic spirit. I believe that is because it is so intertwined with my faith. This country is a special gift to us from God and I am continually thankful for the blessing of living in the United States of America. On this day of remembrance I just want to be one of the many who thank the people who serve our country and defend our freedom! GOD BLESS THE USA!!!!

August update

Is August really nearing it's end?? I can feel the change in the weather. It has been so cool here. Still warm enough to swim , but night time rolls around and I'm cuddling in blankets. Let's see. Jeremy turned 27 on the 2nd. Jake came just for Jer's birthday which was so nice of him and brought him a bunch of cloths. Jake is such a great brother, always looking out for us. Then we all went and ate lunch at the park with Jeremy's parents and had a nice time. Luckily they brought a cake because the day before was really hectic for me and I didn't get the chance to get one. And for Jeremy's birthday gift he wanted a popcorn popper. So he found one that he liked, and that night after Harlee was asleep he made popcorn for us and we sat on the couch and watched a movie together. It had been a while since that happened and it was nice. So that was Jeremy's birthday.

This month so far has been busy also. Mom and Dad have been spending as much time here as possible. I think they want to get in as much Harlee time as they can before the summer ends. So we have had a lot of fun. And I like that I actually have things to do, you know, besides the normal day to day stuff, like the fair,and this last weekend we went Huckleberry picking and then headed up to Montpelier to watch Ryan and Kelly (Aunt Debbie's husband's son and daughter in law) play in a soft ball game. While there we also got to hang out at the Bear lake county fair. LOL It was..... small. But still, fun. Aunt Debbie got smacked in the hand with a ball and the sucker swelled up so bad. I ran to get some ice but was trying to figure out what to use as a pack when i realized I was loaded down with diapers. So I grabbed one and it worked great.

Just a little FYI for mom's on the go. Ha ha. Anyway, the hand was not broken, just looked really nasty. All in all a good trip.

Today my dad got his gal bladder taken out. It was causing him lots of pain and trouble so they got rid of the thing. Mom said he did well and now

he just has to get healed up. I think that is about it so far. Long boring story for those of you still here. Sorry. Thought i should post something. LOL Hopefully soon I will have more fun stories for you all.

P.S. I did a picture collage to make the upload easier. The cows and quilts are from the fair in Idaho, the rides are the ones from Cache Valley. And you have to find the picture of my Aunt Debbie's hand. It is kind of little, but totally cool and gross at the same time.

July Pictures

This is a picture of Harlee with her hair Straightened. I thought she looked a bit like Chucky. LOL We decided there is a reason she has all those cute curls.
















A picture of the Collier family all together, well, mostly. There are a few people missing in this photo but you get the idea.

















Mom and Dad 2. Love them.
















Jenny, Becky, Jake and Jeremy. Love them 2.



















Not the best picture. But Harlee loves Uncle Jake.

At the Wilcox reunion one thing on the agenda was a Softball game. Lots of fun!












And swimming at Bear Lake. The best place EVER.





Those are some of the highlights from July. It was a month packed with family and fun. August is looking fun as well. Got to get as much fun in as possible before it starts getting cold. I guess I accidentally deleted the pictures of our stay in Cedar City which really sucks! But there are plenty here to entertain. Hope you enjoy!!
