Well it was a crazy week so taking pictures was a little more hassle than normal. My 64 and 52.5 pics were taken today… I don’t like leaving them to the last day. But I am happy with them so I guess that’s what counts! So here we go…
Day 227…It was a Littlest Pet Shop invasion I tell you!! 
I went into the living room to look around and find some inspiration for my 365 and 64 pics and came upon this LPS parade! Too funny! The older ones still have the magnets in them…I found it quite hilarious seeing them clinging to the edge of the fireplace wall!

Week #33…Home…I had this idea in my head all week but never had the time to put it into action. Last summer when we went to visit RV I took several Polaroids. When I saw the upcoming theme “Home” for the group I decided that even though we have lived in PV since 2001, minus this last year, RV will always be home.

sixty-four colors ~ white…I had absolutely NO plan for this week. I was not finding any inspiration around me at all…the busy hectic week didn’t help. But white is white…I just wasn’t feeling it. So I walked around my living room and tried to find some…I like what I found…I am not a huge reader but I do like a good book from time to time. Even though it is taking me months to read Inkspell! :/

August 14/15…Yes I still have to throw these in here…I really need to go get a craft knife blade so I don’t get behind!

Day 226…I have been wanting to take a pic of this sign since I saw Hobo Matt’s pic awhile back and never stopped to take it. Then I noticed someone had added a new nose! It’s now three dimensional! Hard to see it in this pic though.

Day 225…Ok…thought I forgot to take a pic today. Then remembered I had taken some at the kids school. And I also remembered I had put my camera on RAW…so I overplayed with this one in Camera RAW…heh. It’s a bit too much LOL!

August 13…I like these more detailed ones…They look a lot cooler!

Day 224…Thursday evening I found out there was supposed to be a meteor shower in the wee hours of morning. I’m sure everyone knew about it but me. Sometimes I think I live in a bubble!
Well it wasn’t that spectacular from my viewing point. I did see a few that were pretty cool and managed to catch one little guy.

August 12…

Day 223…Sometimes I just don’t have anything interesting to say about my pics…this would be one of them… 

August 11…This has to be one of my most favorite ones so far! It’s so cute and happy! I did mess up the nose but it’s still cute!

Day 222…

August 10…

Day 221…First day of school! Oh she looks so little walking across that big playground!

August 9…

Day 220…Some days it’s the last thing I do before I go to bed and then you get crap like this to look at… 

August 7/8…

from me!!!
Day 219…Bountiful Baskets…So this morning I woke up at 7:11. “Hey Babe…I think I hear your alarm.” or something like that. I use my cell phone as my alarm and I am finding that having it on the floor on vibrate really does me no good. I don’t even hear it vibrate. But luckily Chaz had woken up and saw that I was still in bed so he kindly woke me up. Why on earth would I be getting up so early on a Saturday morning?! Today I went to pick up our first Bountiful Basket. It’s a neat little (or not so little) program run by volunteers to bring healthy fruits and veggies in at a lower cost to you. (Or so they say). It was interesting. I don’t know if I will do it again be cause I am not really sure it was that great of a deal. You be the judge because getting up at 7 after not falling asleep til around 1:30 or 2:00 has left my brain with out the functionality to figure such things out. 

Day 218…Castle Golf Family Fun Park…I found this in a box of pencils the other day. The family fun park was closed long ago. We were so bummed when we heard it would be closing. And when they said it was going away they really meant it! They tore out the goofy golf, the batting cages and even the castle!! This is all there is left of it…well in my home anyway….

August 6, 2010…Awww…look at the cute little froggy…

Day 217…Do not attempt to dive into the 2 foot water…you will be electrocuted and your head will explode!! Take heed, don’t break you head! 

August 5, 2010…

Day 216…LED…

August 4, 2010…

Week #32…Light…I have been having so much fun taking underwater pics! I really want an underwater digital!
sixty-four colors ~ sky blue…I love this pic! That is all!

Day 215…

August 3, 2010…

Day 214…Before we left Washington, my nephew Ethan insisted we take his shell. Thank you Ethan. 

August 2, 2010…

Day 213…Chicken Pot Pie…YUM! And oh so easy!

Day 212…Looking out at PV from our back yard….
July 31/August 1, 2010…

Day 211…And looking out at PV during the day. 

July 30, 2010…

But I think I like it that way…It’s a lot more fun to see a weeks worth of pics in a post than a day at a time. Maybe a new blog title is in order…Weekly moments…
too bad I own the amomentaday.com domain.
It’s still daily so it still fits…
Day 210…

July 29…

Day 209…Mmmmmm…I made apple cobbler this day. It was yummy! Not the best apples for it but it’s what we had. I keep telling everyone to remind never to buy Red Delicious apples ever again. Definitely not my favorite, or anyone else in this house for that matter.

July 28…

sixty-four colors ~ golden rod…Not my best sixty-four shot…but sometimes this whole 64, 52.5, 365 business just gets old I don’t feel like putting in the effort. :/

Day 208…So the new town library is not he prettiest building you’ll ever see…but it makes for some neat architectural shots.

July 27…

Day 207…Watch out!! My daughter was quite worried it was going to get me if I got too close!

Week #31…Season ~ Summer…A more accurate summer picture right now would have been a shot of all the dark clouds that have been covering the valley for the last couple weeks. Or the wonderful rain that those clouds bring. Or the lightning that always accompanies those! I love the summer monsoons! But I also have a fascination with these strange plants you see popping up all over! The Agave americana…or better known as the Century Plant. They are pretty cool!

July 26…

Day 206…A nice crisp nectarine is my favorite!

July 24/25…

Day 205…A close up of the above Century Plant…

July 23…

Day 204…I was out taking pictures of the bees in this bush in our back yard and I realizes there were several bees of another type hiding out in the bush that I had totally over looked! And further evidence of my lack of observance…I had no idea that little crab spider was hiding out right in front of me too! Not until I started looking at the pics on my computer.

Day 203…A real start to the summer monsoons! I love this time of year!

Day 202…I took the kids to the park closest to us…it’s small but there is a lot of room to run! And that’s really all they need, right!?

Day 201…Ants are NOT an easy photographic subject! They were far too busy to stop and pose for me! 

Day 200…Two night in a row this week we found a tarantula on the wall outside. They were pretty small and could have been the same one both times. We want to catch one and keep it as a pet now!

Day 199…I would see these little guys in Washington from time to time but I rarely had my macro lens around. I love taking pics of them!

Day 198…My husband was out in the backyard yesterday and told I should go out and take pics of the big bumble bees! I love their fuzzy bodies!

Day 197…Abandoned…the boys took baseball stuff to play with at the park. It was quickly abandoned…

Day 196…A thank you…for the beautiful seaglass and shells…

Day 195…Rain! You would think after living in Washington for 11 months we would be sick of rain! Nope…the girls and I quite enjoyed it!

Day 194…Newly constructed t-ball fields and a soccer field at one of our favorite parks. The giant sports balls are pretty cool!

Day 193…My initials used to be so easy to type…heh…

Day 192…We have an apple tree in our backyard…my daughter asks all the time if she can go check the apples. She’s convinced they are ready to eat now! In time we will have lots of yummy apples!

Day 191…Yesterday we went down to the clubhouse to get our passes to the swimming pool and gym. The kids can’t wait to go to the pool! It will be nice on hot summer days! And if you are wondering what that has to do with a Black-Eyed Susan…they are planted outside the clubhouse. 

Day 189…A facebook friend mentioned all the sea glass she had found on the beach. I mentioned how I love sea glass but now that we live nowhere near the “sea”…I won’t be able to find it anymore. She offered to send me some! And this is what she sent! I love it! And now it is sitting on my kitchen counter!

Day 188…You might say I am somewhat of a penaholic…ok not just somewhat. I love pens! I love the Sakura Glaze Pens!!!

Day 187…The key to my new ipod touch!!! It will take a little time but it will be mine!!! 

Day 186…I spent a good part of the day going over pics from my niece’s wedding! Wow I feel old! She made a beautiful bride! I wish them the best of luck!
I was over taxing PS and had all her pics open…not a whole lot…but still too many. And PS crashed… :Z I wanted to throw things and scream. I was done all but saving…soooo…I’ll go back to them in a few days. 

Day 185…On June 11th two communities were forever changed when a small plane, owned by a Florida family, crashed into the High School that I and many others have attended over the years. The family of four perished in the crash and a very large section of the school burned down. In the following days friends of the oldest daughter in the crash began posting tributes and memorial videos for her. Before it was officially confirmed, Lexi Ulrich’s friends and family knew it was their loved ones that had been in the plane. Both communities held memorials for the Ulrich family. In Round Valley a couple hundred people gathered to show respect for the family.

Day 184…HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!

Day 183…Just a sneak peek of the days events…there is a reason I have never agreed to do a wedding. I am so not qualified for the task. But I couldn’t not take pics for my niece! 

Day 182…

Day 181…
Day 180…As we waited outside the theater to watch “The Twilight Trilogy” we were standing next to this button…I really wanted to push it! But I didn’t…

Day 179…
Day 178…

Day 177…Internet was not cooperating at first…So I was set up in the living room trying to get it figured out.

Day 176…The new library…it has got to be THE ugliest building I have ever seen! But the inside is pretty nice…

Day 175…I completely forgot to take any pics this day…except this one on my cell…another shot of the library…

Day 174…I have been so busy the last couple weeks and this day wasn’t any different! So this was my shot just before going to bed. Newly polished beach rocks!

Day 173…Sleepy girls…just a couple hours from home after a VERY long 25 hour drive…split into two days…

Day 172…A quick stop to see friend we hadn’t seen in over 13 years!! It was great to see them and catch up! And the kids had a great time getting to know each other…Ashlyn and Hailey looking out at the Y.

Day 171…We had the brilliant idea to stop and take in the sites on our way through Oregon! Well it was a beautiful detour but it added several hours to our day!
Multnomah Falls, OR

Day 170…Another one pic day…we were deep in the packing process and took a quick break to grab a Herfy’s Burger for the last time…

Day 169…Snoqualmie Fall, WA…we were disappointed to find out the lower viewing area was closed. And wouldn’t open until 2014!!! But it was fun to go see the falls before we left!

Day 168…Chaz was in Arizona for 2.5 weeks while we stayed in Washington…that was the longest 2.5 weeks EVER! It was great to have him back home! After we picked him and papa up from the airport we went to the Space Needle!

Day 167…

Day 166…Some packing done…blah…I never want to move again!! 

Day 165…
