Rockwell’s awesome science project that did not place.. Being that I was a judge, and saw what he was up against, (I did not judge 6th or 8th grade, and the other judges did not know my kids where participating.) I was really suprised Rockwell did not place. REALLY suprised. Even the Teacher was suprised… You did a great job Rockwell. You simply win some and lose some. It’s a crapshoot sometimes.

Melinda being NAMS student of the month,

You know we loved you Mom. RIP.

My Mom, Verna Mae Theresa (Rourke) Elser Died today.
What a wonderful woman she was. Full of success. A full life.  She slapped down  adversity with vivre.  A Christan that lived it.

The world could use more people like you, not less. You will always be with us mom.

We will never forget. 😉

Love, E

Vacation pictures, and more.

Here was a typical day at the beach. There were a few hiccups, but overall, we had a good time.


The kids were up to no good sometimes, with the help of the adults of course.
Click here for movie of Rockwell while buried in sand.

On the way home, we managed to stop and say Hello To Nanny and Gramp.

And we stopped by my sis and B-I-Ls for dinner. With a bonus of getting to eat with my mom. My sister Verna admonished my mom for going up and down their staircase. With socks on too. If you saw how steep they are, you would know why.

Melinda got a skateboard for her birthday.

Rockwell already had one from Christmas, so he is currently the “pro” in the family.. but Melinda seems to be a quick study so far.

Here is a video of them On their skateboards.
