Holly receiving Outstanding Band Student 2016 It's been a busy fun week.  Your sisters are now officially in done with 6th and 8th grade.  WOW!!!!  Katie starts seminary and grades officially count next year as a 9th grader!!!!  Just a few short years and she will be graduating from H.S.  Time flies! Monday I worked for Santa Clara City as clerk because their clerks both had kids graduating Monday night from Vista school.  It was kind of interesting and fun to step in and do my job at another location.  It went very smoothly and was good.  Dad and the girls hung out with Uncle Ben and Aunt Laura and made cookies while I worked and then at 7 p.m. we met at Pizza Factory and had dinner together.   Tuesday evening I got to do it all over again in my own court.   Holly waiting for her name to be called The girls had their last piano/voice lesson for the summer as Dawn decided to take the summer off of teaching. I have tho...

Shelly, Katie & Holly in Zion NP Grandpa & Suzanne headed home on Monday morning to Riverton.  This started the very busy week for dad.  Dad had to record a show Monday morning and left Wednesday for baseball playoffs up in SLC.  He was hoping to return yesterday fairly early but they got some rains that flooded the fields Saturday morning moving all the games back to Saturday night.  So instead of being done about 3 p.m. he wasn't done until almost 10 p.m.  Very exhausting week for dad but Pine View came out on top so that always makes it fun when the team you're covering wins big!!! He will head home today when he wakes up and hopefully be home by early afternoon today.   Katie played her sax solo on Tuesday and did a great job.  (I missed it but Gma recorded it so hopefully I'll get to send you that in a separate email.  We'll see if I can figure it out!) Wednesday the girls had YM/YW and we signed permission...

 May 16, 2016 Grandpa Ray Laurito and Grandma Suzanne Andy, Katie, Holly & Dallas, chilling at Griffin's Gma Griffin, Kay and Randy Phillips WOW this weekend went fast and thank goodness I had an emailed reminder or I might have not written.  So Sorry!!!!! Gma and Gpa Laurito have been staying with us all week so our schedules are a little off!  This week we have stayed busy doing all the usual stuff plus two!  Monday I went to the chiropractor because I've been having a sore neck (the opposite side from earlier this year).  We had our usual Monday night pizza and then played pickleball late in the evening.  It's getting too hot to play earlier in the afternoon, darn it! Tuesday I was fortunate to get off by 6:30 p.m. so I was able to have dinner with the family and hang out for the evening!!!  Laurito's came Tuesday evening and we visited a little. Wednesday the girls had young women's and w...

The school year is winding down and with that comes all kinds of fun stuff.   Monday I had to go to District Court to testify in a DUI case.  Got over there and they said, sometimes you just have to show up and then they realize they can stipulate to what you were going to say.  So I got to run across town to get sent home! Tuesday both dad and I worked but Holly had a band concert.  Thank goodness for grandparents who live close and love the girls.  The Griffin's were so good to go and watch Holly's concert and take pictures for us and then take the girls out for dinner afterward.  I think they all had a wonderful time and enjoyed the evening.  Sad we didn't get to attend but so cool to have someone who loves them available to help out!!! Wednesday was an exciting day for Katie.  She was awarded a certificate for her 4.0 grade point average, perfect attendance and given a surprise -- band student of the year certificate. So proud of these t...
