These are "The Boys". We went to the St Louis Zoo this summer (2007) on a whim one morning when I got home from work at 0300 (AM). Despite being tired from driving through the night/morning and going on very little sleep, we enjoyed ourselves immensely! We had the spur of the moment trip where the destinations to choose from were down to either the St Louis Zoo, or the Biltmore Castle in North Carolina (probably will go there in the spring or summer of 2008).

Corey (far right) will be 17 in January (2008).

He hasn't said much about the future except that he wants to design video games (but has tossed around the idea of Culinary School). Even though he has his Driver's License he won't drive, so it should be interesting to see how he gets to those college classes he wants to take. He states he is NEVER getting married or having kids.

Dillon (far left) will be 13 in December (2007).

He's in that stage of puberty where everything out of his mouth is a lie, even when it would be easier to tell the truth. He's got the pre-teen adolescent angst down to a "T", but then he'll turn around and be the sweetest, most loving child you could ever dream of knowing! His future goal is to be a Sniper in the Military.

Jacob (middle) will be 11 in November (2007).

He's funny and loving. His future goals are to be a Police Officer, and to get married and have a family. He states if he fails Academy then he wants to become a Veterinarian.
