Kody & Jessie GilliamRecently both of my brothers moved to Arizona and are staying with our Dad until they find their own place and yesterday afternoon they came over and ate my famous tacos. :o) It was so awesome to see them! I couldn't stop smiling.
For anyone who doesn't know my Mom & Dad were married and had my little sister and I, they were divorced and later on my Dad married Missy and they had two little boys Kody and Jessie. Unfortunately they ended up getting divorced and we really didn't get to see the boys through out the years. Kody is 10 years younger than me and Jessie is 13 years younger so there's a fairly big age difference. Last month when Jessie moved here to Arizona it had been over 8 years since we had last seen him! Crazy I know! We saw Kody last Thanksgiving so it was like 7 years of not seeing him until then. Kody just got here about a week ago and so yesterday was the first time we got together since that Thanksgiving.
My Dad lives out in Apache Junction so it's a little over an hour drive to get there from here....and with his busy work schedule and ours we don't get to see him that often either so it was fun to see them all last night.
Here's a few pictures that I promised Brandy I would post....we wished she was here too and are hoping that she'll be able to come down and visit with all of us soon!! To enlarge the pictures just double click on them directly.

Oh wow! I still picture those two as being little boys. I haven't seen them in soooo long! I'm glad you get to see them now.
Hey Leslie,
I am coming to Az on the 3rd of April and staying now for 2 weeks! Can't wait to see you, we will plan a party or lunch or dinner whatever is best for you! We miss you!
It is hard to believe that they are grown! I just remember them so little, it has been a long time!
It was so good to meet your brothers! Thanks for having us to the party.
