Ran errands today and picked up Joshua and Evan at preschool.  I went to three Barnes and Nobles and bought something at each one.  I bought season one and two of Downton Abbey to give to Lois for Mother's Day and I bought the cupcake puzzle again for Stacy.  Sheri spilled water on the last one. 

James surprised me today and bought a new dishwasher.  What was more surprising was when I came home this evening and he was putting it in. 

This were going quite well until water started gushing out from under the sink.  James went outside to turn off the main water valve and Stacy and I ran to get towels.  James came back in with a frantic look on his face.  The shut-off valve box was completely full of dirt from gophers.  He finally got it dug out and the water turned off.  

This is after the flood.  Notice the towels on the floor.  Alls well that ends well and this ended well.  Our new dishwasher is installed and is working properly.  It looks great!

Michael and Alex had their state track meet today.  Here is Michael in his track uniform.  I missed getting a picture of Alex.  Michael got 2nd in the 800 and brought home a medal.  

In Texas James and Jared had their fathers and sons outing.  It rained.  The rain brought out the frogs.  When life gives you rain, catch a frog.
