How 'bout a blond joke for ya!

There where three men; a blond, brunette, and a red head. They had recently got in trouble with the law, and were about to get shot to death by the firing squad. They where standing in front of a fence with the firing squad in front of them with guns ready.
Well, the red head came up with an idea; he pointed behind the squad and said, "Tornado!". When they turned to look, he jumped the fence and ran. The brunette realizing what he did, came up with an idea also. He pointed behind the squad and said, "Earthquake!". When they turned and looked he also jumped the fence and ran. Now, the blond seeing what the others did, came up with an idea also. He pointed behind them and said, "Fire!".


I love that joke!

Two months is too little, they let him go
They had no sudden healing
To think that providence
Would take a child from his mother
While she prays, is appalling

Who told us we?d be rescued
What has changed and
Why should we be saved from nightmares
We're asking why this happens to us

Who have died to live, it?s unfair
This is what it means to be held
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive

This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was that when everything fell
We?d be held

This hand is bitterness
We want to taste it and
Let the hatred numb our sorrows
The wise hand opens slowly
To lilies of the valley and tomorrow

This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive

This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was that when everything fell
We'd be held

If hope if born of suffering
If this is only the beginning
Can we not wait for one hour
Watching for our Savior

This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive

This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was that when everything fell
We'd be held

My Maggie Girl

A couple weeks ago Mickie past away. We don't know how, one night she just up and died. It was very weird. She hurt her leg a couple of days before she died, and the day she died, she had gotten sick that morning. That night she died in my hands.
About a week and half later Mama and Daddy surprised me with another one. I named her Maggie. She is black and white with a personality a lot like Mickie's. Although she is not Mickie I lover her just the same.
I would post pictures of her, but she is too wiggly and won't sit still. Sorry!

I search for love
When the night came and it closed in
I was alone
but you found me where I was hiding
and now I'll never ever be the same
It was the sweetest voice that called my name
saying

You're not alone
for I am here
let me wipe away your every fear
My love I've never left your side
I have seen you through the darkest night
and I'm the one who's loved you all your life
All of your life

You cry yourself to sleep
cause the hurt is real
and the pain cuts deep
All hope seems lost
With heartache your closest friend
and everyone else long gone

You've had to face the music on your own
but there is a sweeter song that calls you home
saying

You're not alone
for I am here
let me wipe away your every tear
My love I've never left your side
I have seen you through the darkest nights
And I'm the one who's loved you all your life
All your life

Faithful and true... Forever
For my love will carry you....

You're not alone
for I... I am here
let me wipe away every fear... Oh yeah
My love I've never left your side
I have seen you through your darkest night
Your darkest night
And I'm the one who's loved you all your life
All of your life

Lepard Gecko's

I decided to start blogging about snakes and lizards instead of just snakes. So I'm going to blog about Leopard Geckos today. Leopard geckos are lizards that live in dry places. They eat insects, crickets, meal worms, worms and super worms. If you want a really happy lizard feed them 3 wax worms day. They live under the ground and on the ground. The leopard gecko has a triangle head and a fat tail where it stores fat. The skin is bumpy and heavily patterned. The patterns are to camouflage the lizard from predators.

If you want to own a leopard gecko you would need a 10 gallon tank with sand in it. Then you need a big rock or tunnel. After that you need a water dish that he can climb in and drink. Then you need some food. I use crickets but you can use meal worms too. Once in a while you can put him in a tub with about 1 inch of water and let him soak in it. They come out at night mostly. You have to hold them a lot or they wont be tame. They make great pets.

I have a leopard gecko and he sleeps all day long. I named him Giecko. I held him a lot so he is tame to me. He is so calm. That's all for today.

If there is a certain snake or lizard you want to learn about tell me. (wrote in the colors of a leopard gecko)

FUN FACTS!

◦Geckos are reptiles that live in Asia in the wild. They live in rocky deserts and sparse grasslands.

◦They are nocturnal in the wild, hiding from fierce daytime heat in burrows and under rocks. In captivity they will burrow when overheated and shy away sometimes from bright lights.

◦They usually grow to about 10 inches long, although half of this is tail.

◦They can break their tails off like most other lizards. This is usually caused by poor handling or by fighting with other geckos. The tails will grow back, but they will be shorter, thicker, smoother and less colorful.

◦Geckos store fat and metabolic water in their tails.

◦The temperature of their eggs determines the gender of the hatchlings. At 80 degrees, most will be females; at 91 degrees most will be males. At 86 degrees Fahrenheit, there will be an even mix.

◦They will clean their eyes with their tongues!

◦They also have moveable eyelids, allowing them to blink and close their eyes during sleep.

◦They are carnivorous and will stalk prey like a cat.

Big News!!!

I am SO excited to be able to announce, that I am going to be a auntie and big sister to another little bundle of joy all in 1 week, at the age of 14! Yes, you read right, Mama and Shyloh are both pregnant and due within 4 days of each other! Shyloh is due on April 26 (Shaydens birthday), and Mama is due on April 30, 2011! We are all very excited about this! Shelbie and I have been talking about what we want Shyloh's baby to call us. Shelbie decided on "Auntie Bee" for her, because all the kids called her "Bee" before they could pronounce Shelbie;) She said my name should be "Auntie Laylah", because all the kids called me "Laylah" before they could pronounce Shaylah. Of course, if I did go with that, when they got older they would call me "Auntie Shaylah". We are all happy and very excited about this and hope and pray everything goes well! Please all who read this pray for Shyloh and Mama to have a good pregnancy! Thank~you!
