Hiester Family Antics: My hobbies!

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.

My hobbies!

Hey, everybody reading the blog this is Kurstin I just want to tell you that dancing really has a lot to do with me. I've done almost every single talent show or Lip Sync there has been ay my school that I was able to do. I went to the big show which is kind of like the championship game in a season of sports. I got second place at my school last year, but this year I didn't place:( So, my other hobby is I love to sing I sing all the time people tell me that I've gotten better than I since when I was little like my friends and my dad (he tells me a lot) I also am very interested In acting I want to become an actress I even tried out for a play and I saw a yes by my name, I left to early and didn't get any part(thats what my mom thinks because Ally was In a play and the same guy is directing it and he has high expectations) So, any way those are some of my hobbies!
