The Hiester Family in a nutshell - a big one, like a coconut or something

We are a family of a whole bunch of random people, thrown together in one small house, who all happen to look alike. Each member of our family was hand-picked by God... that's the only explanation for the saga that is our family. Here's the story from the beginning... My husband, Todd, was married before me. His wife's name was Carrie, and together they had 3 kids: Tyler, Kurstin & Elissa. Todd's parents were divorced and his mother remarried. Her new husband, Don, had 2 small children: Ally & Wesley. Their natural mother was killed in a car accident when they were 8 & 11. One year later, they lost their dad and Todd and Carrie took them into their home. 6 months after Ally & Wesley were added to the household, Carrie died of cancer at age 26. Her own children were 3, 6 & 9 and Ally & Wesley were 10 & 13. And Todd was alone with them. Think Lord of the Flies. So when I fell in love with Todd, I got these 5 kids as a bonus. We married about a year and a half into our relationship, with the kids as our wedding party. We made it all official with an adoption lawyer and lots of money, ensuring that we are LEGALLY their parents. They even had to take oaths saying they would perform the duties of sons and daughters, which I think means I have someone to change my diapers when the time comes! After 2 years of marriage we added Robben Carey to the mix. And now we've welcomed Livi Claire...the seventh, and final, Hiester kid (unless, of course, God has other plans). Todd and I are 37 and 35, respectively, and our kids range in age from 1 to 21. It's great because we're cool and always the youngest in a crowd of high school parents.

Ally and Wesley. Two of the craziest most awesome people. You will ever meet.:)

Hey guys! This is Ally the oldest of the sisters. Firstly, I would like to thank the two viewers I had for my first blogging experience. I hope you enjoyed learning about me and my wacky and insane personality. If you've never met me before, I am the most insane, outgoing, craziest person you will ever meet. (Maybe besides my blood bro Wesley) At a birthday party today, my brother Wesley was being insane and acting like a 3 year old that ate a gallon of ice-cream. I looked at him and back at Marianne who was laughing histerically at him and said, "It has to be genetics!" If you only saw me and Wesley being our true crazy selves, you'd automatically think we were twins! :) I love that similarity between my brother and I, besides our looks. I don't think we look alike at all but people say we look alike all the time so, I eventually warmed up to the fact Wesley and I should might as well be twins.
There are other ways we are VERY similar. We wear our personalities so you can only imagine what we look like! Wesley and I practically wear what we feel like wearing without a care what other people think. Wesley's splurge is black socks with a pair of bright colored shoes paired with a pair of shorts and a bright, standout shirt. That is practically me but let me describe the small difference. I usually wear jeans, a pair of Uggs with a hole in the front (See I don't care what people think), usually a bright shirt or days when I am lazy, a normal boring T-Shirt topped with a sweater or a sports hoodie.
But today I tried something a little different and I think I looked FABULOUS! (Not trying to brag or anything because people probably wondered "What the heck is that girl wearing?") But I want to describe to you guys my wonderful outfit! So I wore a pair of jeans and my GREAT-GRANDMA Lidamae's shirt that is three sizes to big for me! But wait....there's more!! Over that purple vintage shirt I wore a lime green belt with a buckle that had different colored beads on it. I wore this belt at the empire waistline. And along with that I wore a brown sweater where the sleeves went down to my elbows and on my huge, wide feet, I wore a pair of sweet Guatemalan sandals that are a size 40! As you can see I am a very confident and awesome individual. I hope you enjoyed learning about me today!! Peace, Love, Happiness all the days of your life! :)
