Monday Morning Mackenzie

First thing this morning she bee-lined directly for her computer.

Grandpa and Ryan build a new PC

Grandpa and Ryan built a new computer yesterday for Mackenzie. (Details) Nathaniel and Mackenzie are sharing his desk so they have their two pcs together. (Ryan also fixed my ancient iPhone)


If you want to see the whole build, upgrades and all the technical details you can reference my other blog: http://xenostream.blogspot.com/2014/03/upgrading-two-pcs-and-new-build.html


Mackenzie loves having a spot to hang out with the boys. We will have to get another computer chair soon but she can get on youtube now and watch her videos.

Weekend update

We had a beautiful Saturday with highs in the 50s. The kids and dogs all took advantage took a walk. (The boys used their scooters)

Crazy Jack going for a walk.

Made a Bacon wrapped meatloaf yesterday. This was delicious.

This is after I dumped it out the meatloaf pan. Inside are layers of meat and cheddar cheese. I put it on a tray so the fat would drip off while it roasted. (300 degrees for 90 minutes and then another 30 minutes at 350)

The finished product. I ended up broiling it a bit to really crisp up the bacon.

Half gone.

Playing magic with the boys

We ended up staying up way past bed time last weekend playing some magic.

Nate has built two decks he likes to play with. ~65 cards each. He also recently started playing 2014 Magic on Steam.

I have no idea how many cards his deck is but way over 100. He still wins quite a bit with some very interesting combos.

Ryan went for a Zombie photo shoot

This is Ryan after the shoot when he got home.
