Things have been crazy here lately. Derrick's mom was here for a month, which was fun. Thaya had a blast having her grandma here. Eleanor made it possible for me to attend classes at BYU with Derrick. That was so much fun! Thaya got to cover Eleanor's face with make up and I dyed her hair. All in all a fun month!!! Two days after she left, Derrick was laid off from his job. They gave him no notice, he walked in for work and they handed him a final check and said you are laid off as of now due to cut backs!!! We have been struggling. Derrick is going to go to school year round so we can get financial aid and he is going to work part time at BYU in their machine shop, it is $9 an hour less but at least its something. I am still babysitting everyday so that helps. We are sad that we will be stuck here all summer and not going to visit anyone. We won't be able to make it for the Jack family reunion:( We were supposed to be in charge this year but we handed it over to the Ted Jack family. If anyone else is willing to help, Please call LeAnn!!! Other than all that, things are going well. Derrick is getting ready for finals, Thaya is a joy everyday and we are looking forward to getting school done and moving on with the rest of our lives!!! Hope all of you are doing well! Love to you!

Holy Poop! You guys have a lot of things going on! I'm so sorry to hear that Derrick got laid off. What a trial! This will just be one of those moments we will look back on and laugh... right?..... right???... Alexys???!! Sigh... I tried. : ) Those pictures of Derrick's Mom and Thaya are adorable. That's so great that she got to spend that time with your family. I think a lot about you guys and I miss you!!
Hey guys! We are so sorry to hear about the lay off...pretty crappy economy, I'm so glad he was able to get another job! We are feeling it, we are so slow right now! We are going to miss not seeing you guys, we still are not sure if we are going to be able to go.
Eleanor's hair looks great. That was so nice of you to do her hair! Keep in touch. We miss you guys!
Love the hairdo on the grandma and the new pup!!
