I'll try to make this as painless as possible. I am 38 and I live in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. I was born in Peoria, Illinois and lived the first 19 years of my life there. I joined the Navy and saw the world. I fell in love with a certain person and by default ended up living where she is from. We have 5 kids all together, her daughter and son (now grown) my daughter (16) and our 12 year old twin boys. We now have a son-in-law and a grand baby also.
My hobbies besides amphibians; You guessed it, fish keeping. I really have toned it back over the years though. Just one tank with some nice community fish and a make shift pond full of lillies(my favorite) and some fantail goldfish.
As a family we love to go camping. We hook the trailer up and head out as often as possible. Planning a big trip this July, heading down to Virginia to visit that grand baby. I can occasionally be found fishhing and hunting as well and the really geeky side of me compells me to build the odd Lego set.
I think that is it for now. I am sure I will remember more later, but it is time to head to work.

Oh yeah almost forgot, I love the Minnesota Vikings, the Chicago Blackhawks, and the Georgia Bulldogs. And I like the Chicago Cubs. : )

Sounds like you have a great family life .

Ah, Legos...my daughter and I love Legos. Last year we built the Harry Potter Hogwarts school. Took 2 days and several hours. Fun!

Oh, I was the biggest Lego fan out there when I was younger! I was also a bit of a perfectionist; if one of the Original Lego building/vehicle/spaceship I made out of spare pieces wasn't as good, if not better, than one of the Official Lego sets, I'd tear it apart and start all over again. I was also a HUGE fan of Bionicle. I had all the books, and I'd literally spend about a month on each Bionicle, perfecting them and naming them... I'm rambling on again, aren't I?

Tuesday, tell us about your amphibians. How you came to keep them, mistakes/learning curves, species kept, breedings, how you found Frog Forum etc....we heard enough about you on Monday, let us hear about them frogs!

Love love LOVE Legos - - hate stepping on one in the hallway in the middle of the night.

Attachment 53367Attachment 53368Ok, I know I dropped the ball a bit. Here are some pics of my frogs. Some of you have probably seen these already though. I do still plan to add a couple more things tonight or in the AM. I might as well stretch the week of me as far as I can. Lol
