Okay,here's my 5 sentences. 

     But the spirit of the lord came upon Gideon,and he blew a trumpet;and A-bi-e'-zer was gathered after him.  And he sent messengers throughout all Ma-nas'-seh;who also was gathered after him:and he sent messengers unto Ash'-er,and unto Zeb'-u-lun,and unto Naph'-ta-li;and they came up to meet them.  And Gideon said unto God,If thou wilt save Is'-ra-el by my hand,as thou hast said,Behold I will put a fleece of wool in the floor;and if the dew be on the fleece only,and it be dry upon all the earth beside,then shall I know that thou wilt save Is'-ra-el by mine hand,as thou hast said.  And it was so:for he rose up early in the morrow,and thrust the fleece together,and wringed the dew out of the fleece,a bowl full of water.  And Gideon said unto God,Let not thine anger be hot against me,and I will speak but this once:let me prove,I pray thee,but this once with the fleece;let it now be dry only upon the fleece,and upon all the ground,let there be the dew.

     Phewww!  Those are some long sentences.  lol.  I guess I've got to go tag some people then.  Cya later!

Hey everybody!  I thought I'd share with you a story from my past.  This is a story I had to write a few years ago in our creative writing class.  Hope you like it.  I'm not quite finished rewriting it on the blog yet.  I'm transfering it from paper to blog,so bare with me.  It's a little "childish"  Lol.

    MY ADVENTURES IN INSANIA    Part one

      It was the hottest day of the century,and I could tell as I worked.  after several hours I had finally finished; and I wiped my brow as I gazed with pride at the object the stood in front of me.  The thing I had just made resembled a trashcan looking thing with several protruding attachments,including a toaster,2 rusty old garden rakes,and a rather tacky lamp shade.  I crawled into it and prepared for time travel. 

    When I got inside,there was an array of buttons and knobs spread out on the mother board.  There were some for the TV, complete with XBox 360,and one for the pizza dispenser.  Among all these,there was one big red button that stood out from the rest.  When I built the machine. I planned on that button to be the destination button, only I didn't know what destination that would be.  I jumped into the seat,strapped myself in,and...with just a second of hesitation...I pressed "THE BIG RED BUTTON". 

    As soon as I did, there was a loud thump as the time machine landed.  the force of the impact sent me flying out of the seat, and out of my make shift time machine.  As I recovered from the fall, I was greeted by a very gloomy,erie-looking jungle.  All around me was filled with thick,green vines,and tall trees....

    Deep down in the receses of a desert crevace, an ancient chinese medicine man was working his evil master mind over his plans to take over all of Insania, and stroking the black fur of his teddy,Mr. Snuggles. 

"Soon all the land of Insania will be our's Mr. Snuggles,and we can rule it how we want.  Maybe then,when those insolent little villagers become my loyal subjects, they will take my fortune cookie idea a little more seriously."

    During all of this,he was giggling fiendishy.

" Hee hee hee hee heee! First I have to get rid of that confounded "knight who doesn't know the difference between a croissant and a crem brulee", Sir Muffincakes."

    The brave knight worked furiously at his ardious task. Sweat beading from his forehead, he was about to faint when he stopped. 

 "Man, blueberry is definately the toughest!"

 He poured the freshly mixed muffin batter into the trays and popped them into the stone oven.

 " Now just an hour or so,and those will be all ..."

He was interupted by a knock at the door. When he answered it, there was a chubby little friar standing there. 

" What are you doing here Friar Fredneck?!" Sir Muffincakes asks.

" Muffincakes! Just shut up and follow me! I'll explain on the way" said Fredneck.

   Meanwhile, I managed to find my way into a clearing somewhere off in the jungle.  As I explored my discovery I hear a little screech coming from a cliff at the edge of the clearing.  I cautiously made my way toward it, and as I looked over,I saw a little creature crumpled on a ledge, a little less than half way down. Quickly, I looked around for some sort of rope.  I found a suitable vine, and achored it to a big sturdy rock.  Then I began my desent down the craggy cliff,to the ledge below.  When I finally reached the creature, I could see it's scaley body,leathery wings,and a big crest and beak on his head.  It was a baby pteradactyl!

"It must have fallen from it"s nest somewhere!" I thought.

Then, as I looked up,I saw that the ledge was actually a cave in the side of the cliff, and there was a giant beak, and a pair of huge green eyes staring right at me from inside!  Startled, I jumped back completely forgetting I was on a ledge over 500 feet in the air.  Downward I plummeted, sprawled out like a flying squirrel. 

    An evil giggling emnented from the far side of the desert canyon.  Giggling wasn't the only noise. A loud booming and banging and roaring came from a dark cave where the chinese medicine was headed. When he got there,he yelled out in a sqeaky voice,

"Silence!! "

Imediatly the ruckus ceased .

"Come forward Nijol!!"...THUD THUD THUD

From out of the cave came a huge, fearsome Tyranosaurus.

" Now Nijol,I want you to find the one they call,Muffincakes,and bring him to me! I believe you two have met before.Bring him to me, and we shall see if he lives up to his name! Oh,and uh,Nijol,don't let me down...AGAIN!"

The walls of the canyon shook with the deafening roar, followed by the loud, THUD THUD THUD.

    Part Two ~ The Meetings

    Sir Muffincakes, Friar Fredneck, and some other villagers got to the Forbidden Jungle of Insania, when Fredneck spoke out.

 " A bit earlier today,me and the other villagers here were out in the jungle,when we came across the most darn- tootinest fangled contraption we ever layed eyes upon! "

" Yes,and there was some footprints leading away from the bally thing." said one of the other villagers,named Bill.

" Did you check it out?" Muffincakes asked.

" No-sir-e-Bob!" said Fredneck."We just left and came for you."

When finally arriving at the site,  they showed Muffincakes their discovery.  After a moment of pondering, Muffincakes spoke up.

" Well I suggest you fellas stay here and check this thing out, while I follow these footprints."

" Split up?!!! " yelled Fredneck and Bill in chorus.

" Yes,unless you rather go look for the thing these footprints belong to." said Muffincakes.

" Righto ol' chap! We'll stauy here and guard the jolly-o whatchamacllit,while you go look for the maker of those bally ol' footprints." Bill quickly suggested,followed by Fredneck,

"Yep,and iffin' ya need us just give us a holler."

They both hoped he wouldn't need them.

    Icy wind bit ravenously at the terrified expression that was glued to my face.  Just as I was about to start praying, I saw a green blur flash beneath me.  Then from out of the blue, a huge green creature swooped beneath me and caught me out of mid air.  Imediatly my fall was turned into a steep,whipping climb as the creature banked upward.  By then,I had caught my breath and got a good look at the creature under me.  Huge green eyes looked back up at me.  I then realized that I was riding on the thing I had just gotten away from.  It was a giant green and orange Pteradactyl! I t took me toward the cliff's edge I had just attempted to commit indeliberate suicide of off.  It's wings made a loud whooshing sound,like a loud throbbing tornado in my ear.  The monsterous creature crouched down so I could get off.  When I did, I got a good view of how big it was.  It stood over twice my height,and it's wing span must have been over 15 feet.  Then it went back to the cave,perched on a rock,and watched me quietly. 

    The ground shook as Nijol made his way across the desert and toward the little village deep in the Valley of Watzit.  After his long trek, he reached the outskirts of the little village,and standing there, was a little villager who was froze in spot and shaking uncontrollably. Nijol stared deep into the puny little human's eyes.  The villager stopped shaking as if some strange powerful force held him in place, then said in a hypnotic monotone,

"Muffincakes is that way" and pointed to the jungle far off in the distance. 

Then the little man felt another strange powerful force , somewhat like a giant Tyranosaurus hand picking him up an throwing him threw a bamboo hut or two.  Once again, the ground shook with Nijol's steps as he made his way toward the Forbidden Jungle.

    The other villagers crowded around to watch Bill and Fredneck. 

" I say, good shot ol' bean! you almost had me there."

" You know I could hit you if you would stop hiding behind them darn trees!"

" Nonsense, thats the ticketeeboo to not getting hit. Duck,dodge,and weave and all that wot wot. I say ,hand me another piece of that jolly good whatchamacallit pie, would ya please."

They were all so busy stuffing their faces with pizza and playing Halo, that they didn't notice the loud crashing through the trees that passed by them. 

    Muffincakes came into a small clearing where the footprints led strait towards The Cliffs Of Insanity. 

"Who would be insane enough to come here?",he thought.

He slowly followed the footprints,and peeked over the edge of the cliff.  A little more than halfway down he saw a ledge,and a baby pteradactyl,and a person.  Then he decided to call down to the person.

"You there!"

I heard him and looked up to see who it was.  I don't know what suprised me more,the first human I've seen since my travel,or the monstrous t-rex standing behind him!  The series of strange sounds I heard next were all at once.  A loud deafening roar,a scream coming from the human,the sound of a baby pteradactyl trying to fly of The Cliffs Of Insanity,and a loud throbbing tornado in my ear.  Nijol picked up Muffincakes,Muffincakes screamed,I grabbed the baby pteradactyl before it made the same mistake I did earlier,the giant mama pteradacty took off towards Nijol,Muffincakes screamed,Nijol took off running through the jungle,The giant pteradactyl chased after Nijol,Muffincakes screamed,I started to climb the vine with the baby on my back,and Muffincakes screamed off in the distance. 

    After I finaly reached the top,the t-rex,the mama pteradactyl,and the scream queen were long gone.  Suddenly,I heard a rustling in the bushes at the edge of the clearing.  Then a gruff voice called out,

"Who goes there,take one more step and my friend there will jab your haybail with that there pitchfork."

Only then did I realize the slight poke I felt from behind me.  I turned my head to see a long lanky man in peasant clothing holding a rusty pitchfork pointed right at my behind in one hand,and a piece of pizza in the other. 

"Now state your jolly old business here,and I won't have to use this bally weapon."

"My time machine landed..or..crashed and I don't know what I'm doing here."  I stammered.

"And who might your friend be,might I ask?"

"Oh him,I found him on those cliffs over there."  I said.

"And do you know anything bout these jolly big tracks here?",the lanky man said.

I quickly related all that I went through and the things I had seen.  After the discussion that followed,I finaly got the pitchfork away from myself,and we all followed the t-rex tracks through and out of the jungle.

    To be continued......

Sry it took so long to make this.  I made the whole thing once already, but intead of saving it, I accidently deleted it.  Haha!  I hate when that happens.  Well, hope you all like it.

     Some people call me an accident waiting to happen.  I have a tendency to bleed.  I've got over 10 scars on just my hands.  All from crashing, working and other crazy things.  I have cracked my head open twice,both when I was about 5 or 6.  Now I have a nice L shaped scar on my forehead.  Haha!  Hey..It don't hurt till the bone shows!  That's my motto.  Another one of my Karlisms is "Almost doesn't count".

When I have spare time, I sometimes go out in the garage and build something or just tinker around on something.  I'm really good at fixing stuff.  So if anything gets broken, someone hollers my name.  KARL!! My sewing machine broke.  KARL!!! Could you come fix my bed!!  KARL!! the trash compacter's broken again!!  So that keeps me busy a lot of the time.  One time my mom showed me a magazine article on how to make a knife.  I spent the next week's spare time in the garage with a grinder and a belt sander and a little piece of tempered steel. Here's some pics of my work.

    I've got another piece of steel in the garage, just waiting to be made into a knife of somekind.  I sometimes play airsoft with my bros.  Sometimes when nobody's lookin ,I sneak out to the garage with my headphones,turn on Josh Turner and start doin my best to sing along with him.  Haha.  Until now that was classified information I wouldn't tell anyone.  My mom's probably in shock if she's reading this and I'm gunnu get a talkin' to.Lol. 

    I like to draw, I'm not as near as good as my sister Keri, but she's says i'm pretty good.  I like reading,  but I prefer to be outside and moving around.  I love animals and like to shoot em with cameras and critter cams as well as guns. Lol.  Here's a cam I got from work.

It's pretty cool.  It has nightvision, sound, and it's supposed to be color, but I've got to fix that.

    I'm 16 turning 17 in August and I still haven't takin my drivers-ed.  Pitifull huh? Lol.  I've passed my highschool exit exam,so I'm not that stupid.  Well I'm kinda runin out of things to say, so if I missed anything or anybody has questions, let me know.

OK folks, do you you know what day it is?  It's Let The Readers Choose A Topic For Tommorows Blog Day.  Lol. I'm at a loss of ideas for a blog at the moment, so I need some ideas.  Comment away everybody.

Well I planned on someone getting a turkey today and I thought we'd be having turkey gumbo for dinner tonight,but we had steak and pasta instead.  No we didn't get any turkeys today sadly.  We got up at 5 a.m. and headed out to the spot.  After we set up,we waited and called and waited,but not a single turkey showed up.  We're guessing it was because it was raining all morning and they were all hunkered down.  So we walked around a bit but still saw nothing.  Then we decided to pack up and leave.  Now since we were near the riding area that we went to before,I got to drive the truck around,and it's a "stick".  So that was cool.  On our way out we saw a hen all alone,so we thought there would be more,or a Tom around somewhere.  Austin got out and followed her a ways to make sure there wasn't.  After about 10 minutes Austin gets back and we were just leaving,when Austin says "What's that on that pole? Is that a turkey?"  I'm lookin all around for a pole and dad says "Yeah it is!!"  I'm still lookin for the pole while Austin's saying "Oh my gosh it's a Tom".  Finaly I see the pole and sure enough,there's what appears to be a big ol turkey sittin on a broken lightpole in the middle of nowhere.  Austin's already sneakin towards it with his shotgun ready and dad hands me the binoculars.  So I look through em and it weren't no turkey,it was a light.  You'd think we shoulda thought of that when we saw the "light"pole it was standing on.  Lol.  Now me and dad know,but it takes Austin about 20 more feet to realize he's stalkin a light.  Haha! 

    Well we got home,changed out of our hunting apparel and into our snowboarding and sking clothes.  Then took off for Sierra At Tahoe Ski Resort.  It had snowed another 5 inches in the 12 hours "priar"....I think that's how you spell it.  Anyway,there was some good snow and some horribly sticky snow.  We got in some good runs,and then discovered the HALF-PIPE.  Now being the only one who snowboarded out of us 4, I was the only one who looked..."inexperianced" shall we say.  Lol.  OK fine,I looked like a complete newb in there.  I think it's way more difficult than on skis,but that's just me.  After a few hours of carvin,jumpin,sprayin eachother,and wipenout,we call it a trip and head home.  The only bummer is we didn't get any pics at all.  LAME-O! 

    When the evening festivities were over,I came in here to blog it all.  I know it's not a very long blog for the awsome day we had,but there's not much more to say without getting into an allnight blogging spree.   Lol.  Tommorow we're going to Fiddletown for church services and as always,awsome fellowship.  So I guess that's it for now.  BYE.

Now is the time to reveal to ya'll,the most coolest lizard ever.  It's called the Chinese water dragon,or green water dragon,or the Asian water dragon or Physignathus.  Lol.  I'm used to calling it the Chinese water dragon,but since Chinese water dragon is such a hassle for me to type,I'll just say "Cwd".  Here's a quick peek at what it looks like.

Pretty cool lookin huh?

They're mainly found in Thailand and Indochina.  You can find them in most pet stores today.  There are so many of them in the pet trade because they are imported from the wild so often,and in big shipments.  That's why it's hard to find any captive bred Cwds.  They're almost always wild caught.  I've had 2 different Cwds,both babies and wild caught.  Unfortunately both of them died from parasites.  :(  That's the problem with wild caught,they could have parasites and you wouldn't even know it. 

     If you get a healthy one,they'll grow up to be a big ol 3 foot beauties.  Their tails make up three forths of their total length!  When they're babies,they eat crickets,mealworms,and all sorts of creepycrawlies.  Lol.  As they grow up,they'll eat mice fish and and even small birds!  They'll get rid of mice and rats quicker than a cat,and they swallow them whole so it's less of a mess.  Lol.  I'm probably grossin you guys out ain't I.      I guess you don't want to see a picture then.  Well then you'd better leave this page right now because right below this sentance is a picture I couldn't help but put on there.  Lol.  :P

COOL!!!!!!!! Lol.

You still with me?  ;) That wasn't so bad was it?  Here some pics that aren't so "disgusting".  Lol.

Aren't they so majestic?  Lol

There's another water dragon,the Australian water dragon.  Looks pretty much the same,except They're brown and tan and sometimes they have some orange in them.  Overall not as cool lookin in my opinion.  They also get a little bigger than the Cwds,but they're not my favorite so they don't belong in this entry.  Lol.  Both types of water dragon will live up to about 15 years! That's about as long as a dog I think.  I think the lizard is man's best friend.  JK,the dog is still man's best,but the lizard is man's second best.  :)  Does anyone agree with me here?  Oh fine then,I guess I'm just special.  Lol.  I want anyone reading this blog to comment and tell me if you think lizards are cool or disgusting.  I want to see how many of you agree with me,or think I'm just "special.  Lol.

THE END

I just thought I'd show ya'll my truck . I got it bout a year ago and I've only rolled it about,hmmmm...100 times . Yeah I take it off jumps and do all kinds of crazy stuff with it all the time . "No I don't have my license yet". Anyways,I haven't had to replace the bodywork more than once . It's a Traxxas Rustler . Oh don't tell me you've never heard of a Traxxas Rustler before . It's only the coolest "RC" stadium truck ever . Here's some pictures .

I haven't got enough money to afford a real one yet,Lol,but I think this was a good buy . This thing is a blast to drive . It can go over 35 mph . That's good speed when your running it strait for a ramp . The suspension is awsome,as you can see above . One time we set up a ramp behind our friends truck,"real truck"by the way . I got a strait run at it,and floored it . It made it in perfectly and with air to spare . I'd like to get a set of big ol mud flingers on it and "gooder" motor . Lol . Give it a little more oomf if you know what I mean .

     I was going to bring it up to camp,but I forgot it . It would've been almost as fun as "fooseball",there I spelled it correctly . Lol . Homeschooler . I could've taken up to the snow when we went tubing ! That would've been fun . It takes a while to get used to driving this thing in the dirt . I can't even keep control of it sometimes,and I've had it for a year ! Lol . You could be driving it nice and easy on the pavement,but as soon as you hit the dirt,it's like you've got banana peel tires . Lol . So you've got to make sure you've got LOTS of space .

    RC is a fun hobby,but it gets kinda expensive . I sold my plane and bought this truck . You don't have to worry bout crashing as much . You crash a plane once and it's toast . Just recently,Traxxas took the Rustler and gave it a brushless motor "brushless is another word for gooder by the way" , slapped another 300$ on the price and called it the Traxxas Rustler VXL . There goes my brilliant idea . Lol . Now it goes over 70 mph ! Check it out !

You know you want it . Lol .

    Well,so much for my truck being the coolest stadium truck ever . Lol . Now all it needs is a good camo paint job . I guess I've shown off my truck long enough . Lol . Can't wait  till I get a real one . Soon hopefully .

P.S. Katrina,your dirtbike might be able to beat Deuce,but you'd be eatin this things dust . Lol ;)

This coming weekend is the begining of spring turkey season,and I plan on going . I'm gunnu let dad and Austin shoot first this time cause last year I got two and neither of them got any . So hopefully they redeem themselves this weekend . Lol . I've shot quail,rabbit,squirrel,and turkey,but no buck,pig,or any big game,so my family thinks I'm a "small game" hunter . I guess I'll have to redeem myself when deer season comes round . Lol . I wish I had some good pictures of last years turkeys,but unfortunately they don't turn out good when I try to blog em . I'll try to better pics this time .

     Last time we went to our old cabin up in Redbluff,Kolton and I went off on a long walk down one of the backroads way back into the woods . I had my shotgun incase we saw any quail or squirrel . We were gone for about an hour and came back with five squirrels . Lol . We were seein em left and right . Five shots Five squirrels . It was "Squirrel!!...BANG!!...Squirrel!!...BANG!! Lol .

Here's 4 of em,I don't know where the fifth one is .

Now most people say squirrel don't taste to good,but it's really not that bad . It litteraly tastes like chicken . Lol . We've had squirrel stirfry,teryaki squirrel,and my sister Keri cooked some with pineapple . Mmmmmm . You're probably thinking "UHGGG!!,That's just gross ." Hey,you don't know till you try it . Lol . So if you come to our house for dinner,Weez gunnu have ourselves a big ol Squirrel cookout . Lol . Just kidding . I'd much rather have a big ol rico's pizza .

     Well I'll keep you informed on how the weekend goes . Hopefully we all get a turkey this time,but if a big old 10 inch beard struts into my view,I ain't letting nobody shoot before me . Lol .

    P.S. If any of you are wondrin what kind of gun I have,I've got a Savage,12 gage shotgun,with full choke .

Hello again everyone . Just thought I'd let you all know what's been going on around here . A few days ago,My brothers and I returned from an awsome cabin trip with a bunch of people from the church.They go up to Forest Hill "I think it was",every year for some good clean fun and great fellowship . I had an awsome time and met a bunch of new people . I also re-met some kids from my past that I hadn't seen in years .

     One of the main activities was,UMMMM.....I'll try to spell this right.....Phooze ball ? Maybe it's fooze ball . Would someone smarter than me please comment on how to spell it correctly . Lol . Anyway,when I first started playing,I was probably the worst player there,especially if I was playing goalie . I would move out of the way when a shot was made,and let the ball go right into the goal !!! Lol . It took a lot of games for me to actually be able to track the ball while it was moving all over the table . One of my friends there {Shane} was one of the best players there . He started doing that little trick I created,the one where you move your goalie out of the way to let the ball pass . Lol . Well,the next day one of the adults came up to me and said he heard I was pretty good at foozeball,I guess I had gotten a lot better since the first day .

     We had some great services everyday,ate lots of good food,and watched some Funny skits performed by some of the people there . I played a long game of Apples To Apples and we went through about every red card there was . I just so happened to get all the bad cards of in the deck . So when the game was over my cards were,wierd,scary,wicked,strange,european,clueless,ect . If you've never played Apples To Apples,you should it's a great game . We had a whole table of people playing ! There was about 5 over the max amount of players . Lol . "Hey,the more the merrier right ?" . Lol .

    On the last day,we all went out tubing . It was a blast !! We got a train of about 15 tubes going down at once !! Overall,it was the most awsome trip ever . It was such an awsome experience,that my brother and I got baptized as soon as we got home . We were both moved by the geat fellowship we had there . I wish it took place more than once a year . Here's some pics from the trip .

P.S. Katrina, Deuce says "BRING IT" . Lol . Oh...I just discovered that "Trina" is a boy,but I don't think he minds . Lol .

Yesterday we decided to take our new buggy{Duece}out to break it in. So my dad and my 2 brothers and I loaded it up in the trailer along with a quad,and 2 bikes.  We've seen this small riding area off the freeway and always talked about going,but we never had the chance until now.  It was only about a 10 minute drive from our house,and we had no trouble finding the way in.  As soon as we got everything unloaded,our dad jumps on his quad,says "I'll be right back",and takes off.   lol .  Kolton jumps on the buggy and chases after him.  So I get on my bike and start walking it up this big hill to get a good ride down.  Austin gets on his bike and starts riding around on the flat.

That's me,the only one wearing a helmet. lol

Notice how clean the vehicles look before we got done with them.

     We all did a quick run around to survey the place,and Austin ditches his bike in exchange for the buggy,and Kolton rides with dad.  I start heading up the hill again,this time for the top.  After about 5 minutes I finaly get there.  Now you'd think the way down would be easier than trip up.  UH UH!  The trails down were steep,rocky,and full of ditches and gullies.  Not very fun on a bmx bike since there's no shocks.  Nevertheless,thanks to my "awsome bike riding skills" I made it down alive and in one piece. lol .

    While I was up on the hill,Austin in the buggy saw a long,deep puddle and couldn't resist.  He heads in and about 5 feet into it,he gets stuck.

Notice the helpless position he is in for the moment.

Well about that time my dad gets this great idea.Being in the helpless state that Austin was in,he wouldn't have been able to get out of the way if dad decided to back up right beside him and gun it or something like that.KODAK MOMENT.  Unfortunatly I wasn't there to see it,and they didn't get a picture.

For the next hour or so we rode around mudflingin,gullycrawlin,and picture snappin.

Now you might not have very many pics of Kolton,I guess it's his turn.  Well Kolton is famous for his special ability to break literaly anything he touches,and the buggy no exception.  So heres Kolton doing some crawlin.

Lookin good

So far so good

Whoa,just a bit scary

Ok now it's scary

Hey look at me,I'm awsome

WHOAA!

I meant to do that.

Huh,that's wierd,the buggy isn't working

Tada!The amazing Kolton has done it again.He never ceases to amaze us.

For those of you who don't see the problem with it,the belt coverplate is bent creating an opening where water,and dirt can get on the belt and make it slip.  Hence the reason it stopped working for a minute,but we got it working again and will live to finish this day of riding and many more to come.

   Further into the day we found an old burned down house off one of the trails and we went to investigate.

    Turns out that it's on a lot for sale.  My mom's been looking for a place to build a barn and house,and my dad says that it's perfect for it.  There's turkeys all over there and it's off of one of the riding trails!   It is simply awsome!

    We drove off on another trail and it took right to the main road.  There was a gas station down the road aways and we were mighty thirsty.  So we pulled right on and headed to the gas station.

Windshield was a bit dirty

After that we headed back,but not whithout havin somemore fun.

Well I think I've bragged enough about the awsome day we had, lol, and we headed home after that so....I guess I'm back to the blogging board for another story.  Oh,remember how clean the vehicles looked.  Well here's what they look like when we're done with them.

SEE YALL!

I've loved reptiles and amphibians for as long as I can remember,and I have an excellent long-term memory,I think.

That's me completely fascinated with the rubber dinosaur.

I remember the day my dad bought me a baby iguana for my 5th or 6th or........7th birthday? OK so I don't have an "excellent" long-term memory.Anyway,I named him Bowser,after the infamous nintendo villan.I would take Bowser outside and let him roam around on our backyard swingset,not realizing that not all lizards wanted to be pets.So one day I thought I would go inside and play for a while and leave poor Bowser outside to "play".Well when I went back outside to bring Bowser in,would you believe it?,he had ran away.I couldn't find him no matter how hard I looked.

     One day about 4 years later after we had already moved a couple times,my mom got a call from our old next door neighbor.They talked for a while and she told my mom that they saw old Bowser in their backyard.She was outside doing yardwork when she saw a huge green lizard looking at her through the blackberry bushes.I'm suprised he survived that long.

Now that I've gone way to far into a story that you probably didn't need to hear,I will move on to what this blog entry is about.I have gained a lot more knowledge in the care of and information about reptiles,and I have started a little family in my room.I would like you to meet {Kermit} the White's dumpy tree frog.

This is one of the only pics I have of him right now,and unfortunately it's not a very good one.I'll make separate entries for the different critters and talk a little bit more about them,incase you'd like to know more....and because I want to "display"how much I know about reptiles and amphibians.

     Moving on.This is probably the coolest looking one of my pets.Meet {Tim}the tokay gecko.Please don't ask about the name.I don't know.

Full body shot

Friendly

Not so friendly

So now you've met Kermit and Tim,I guess {Meeshak}the green iguana,is next.I bought him for my friend Bryan as a christmas present.Again,don't ask about the name.

{Meeshak}the iguana

{Bryan}the human being

Atleast I think so.

The mustache is fake by the way.

Here's my green iguana."His" name is Trina,and he's special . Lol

My only pic of him

Now I shall introduce you to {Necrid}the white spotted gecko.

Well,I don't have any more pics of my pets right now,I have some salamanders also,but I'll have to get more pics.So I'll keep you informed if I gain any more pics or pets.

      Again,I'm very new to blogging,so forgive me if this entry is "sloppy".
