Life is Good!

Today I was Betty Crocker, Susy Homemaker, Molly Mormon - call me what you will. I cleaned, did 6 loads of laundry, fixed cinnamon rolls for breakfast (OK - they came from a tube - but still, the point is Dave and I got up at the same time today and I made him breakfast - he usually gets up at the crack of dawn!), prepared a wonderul chef salad for dinner and even experimented with making a new recipe for blackberry cobbler. Here it is:












Apparently, I should have used a bigger pan! Oh well, it tasted great. Anyway, I was pretty tuckered out from my day of activity and felt a little like this this woman!


But, then I was rejuvenated by going to Ryan's T-ball game. Those are THE best!! There isn't any better entertainment and the price is right! Ryan has fun - here he is playing 3rd base:













After a couple rounds there, he told the coach, "I want to play in the middle." What he wanted was to be able to run after the ball! (If you have trouble seeing Ryan, he's always the one who doesn't have his shirt tucked in!)













Getting a picture of him at bat is tricky - you'd better get the shot on the first try because he HITS the ball on the first try every time!













It was a wonderful treat to sit and watch Ryan play ball after a very productive day. I liked my day . Ordinary activities though they were, caring for my family and being entertained by family always makes me feel fulfilled. Hope you had a day that made you feel as content as my day did for me!

Ok, I'm not crazy. I was going to leave a comment about your delicious looking BLACKBERRY cobbler. I love love love blackberries. When I read the 2 comments before mine commenting on your BLUEBERRY cobbler. I thought I was crazy for thinking blackberry, so I went back and double checked.

I was right (of course). So, I'm with Teresa - any cobbler left?

Also, how cute is Ryan? I miss T-ball.
