In the last two days I have found two quotes that I really like. At first, I was afraid to share them on the blog, because you might think they apply to me :-)
1. Benjamin Franklin’s famous definition of insanity: “Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."
2. By Gretchen Rubin, "If your not failing, your not trying hard enough." This one needs some context. William's teacher always talks about pushing the children in their learning to the point they are no longer comfortable. How can we grow if we are always staying in the limits we know we can succeed in. Failer is part of growth.

Princess story
Shelby last Halloween, as Aurora
One Sunday during church Shelby pointed to the little girl sitting in front of us and asked, "What is her name?" I said Aurora. She looked at me with a weird look on her face and pointed to this little girl again and said, "What is her name?" I said "Her name is Aurora." She kept on asking every few minutes for about 20 minutes and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what her problem was. The last time she asked me "What is her name?" I said "Aurora." Then she said, "Fine, then I'm Cinderella."
** note** Aurora Sleeping Beauty's first name and Shelby knows that.

Update
Okay, Cheryl the update is nothing is happening....
Mitchell is in Young Mens and he is really enjoying it. He is gearing up for end of the year tests. He hasn’t been doing Triathlon team, because his mom just doesn’t have the energy to get him to all the practices.
William is deep in rehearsal for his end of the year performance at school. They are doing the Musical “Newsies.” For those of you that have seen the movie, he is playing Racetrack. Yes, my son is the boy that is into gambling. He is really enjoying it. He is now a Webelo and he likes that too.
Wesley is also in the Musical he plays “Boots”. We are spending a lot of time learning all the words to the songs as well as his lines. He also wants to start learning to play the piano.
Shelby is doing 3 year old stuff.... We did pull her out of dance because she decided that when she was there the only thing she would do is suck her thumb and lay on the ground. She will do the dances at home. So we will try again in September.
Greg is working on the CJA panel and that keeps him pretty busy. He also has a few other cases that he works on. He is on the High Council and that also takes a lot of time. He is still losing weight.
I am just trying to keep everything together. I am the Primary President and I have an awesome presidency that has helped out a lot over the past few months. I get the kids to school and back, go to school meetings, take kids to scouts, and complain that I am fat and tired.
There are no pictures because the camera is out of batteries and apparently I am to tired to charge it.
