Blogging trouble

Just wondering if anyone is experiencing Blogging difficulty? I been trying to post some pictures and the picture window to download is not popping out. I have allowed the page to come through the pop- up blocker.
I am also having trouble commenting on blogs. I have to open the comment section up in a seperate window and comment that way. If any of you computer savvy techs out there know how to fix my problem please let me know.
Thanks,

Mike's Dad Surprises Him

Many of you know that my ex-husband has been in Iraq. He has been there since October. Well he was able to come home this week. Mike was away in Wilderness Quest. Which is a program that the school district takes all of the 6th graders on the middle on nowhere in cabins to teach them all kind sort of neat things. Hunter Safety, Water safety, Boat safety, and the list goes on and on. So to make the long story short. We surprised Mike at camp tonight at dinner time.
Here is a short video of what happened.

Fair Time

Today I took Andrea to the fair. Mike wanted to go camping for the weekend with some of his friends. Andrea was so excited to ride all of the rides and see all of the animals. I was amazed that there was no height limitations set up on most of the kiddy rides. Which I was thankful for. I was preparing myself for the worst. But, as it turned out Andrea got to ride everything that she wanted to.

I think I have a dare devil on my hands. Andrea wanted to ride all of the adult rides. Since I didn't purchase a pass for me to ride rides we stuck with the smaller ones. She loved the kiddy roller coaster. I think when she is older she will be dragging me to the adult ones. I can hardly wait. A girl that loves to ride like her mom. Mike is not a kid that likes those kind of rides. So I am glad that at least one of my kids likes them.

Here are some pictures from our day at the fair.

She looks like she is really driving it!Petting a calf


A friend of ours had a horse they were showing in the fair. Andrea loved sitting on her.

Just wanted to take some time out to remember 9-11. All the men and women that lost their lives today. Also , to thank all of the safety personal that risk their lives everyday to save people.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We hope everyone has a great Labor day. We are having a hot dog roast with friends if the rain holds out. I have made lots of food.
Please keep Mike's dad Matt in your prayers this week. He is on his way home from Iraq. Arriving in the states sometime around Thursday.
Thanks,
