I want to be able to do the splits, and to touch my toes. Is this possible?

Stretching exercises. Start off slow, then gradually increase the distance you stretch. Works even with the splits. Try them over and over each day. But I do caution--do this slowly and gradually. You will get there, it just take diligence.

Stretch! :)
Every day, repeat a stretching routine. Over time you will be able to reach farther and remain comfortable. Patience is key
If you want professional guidance, join a Martial arts class, or perhaps Gymnastics or Dance class. Besides being good experiences in themselves, these athletic communities will provide you with a wealth of knowledge on many thing including -> Stretching :D

The best time to stretch is after a hot shower. Your muscles are warm so they have more elasticity. Also, stretch before and after working out, that will help lengthen your muscles. i used to be on drill team, so another trick we'd use was sitting in the splits all the time (or as close as possible)... while watching t.v., doing homework, etc. If those suggestions don't help, pilates is awesome for flexability.
