Kiester Family News Letter

Sunday, March 7, 2010

    I just don't know where to begin. Let's start with the kids. Jillian is almost 8 months old already. I don't have a doctor check up until next month so I don't have any specifics on her weight or height, but I do know I can't hold her very long anymore at one time because she gets too heavy too fast. She is so beautiful and full of personality. She loves her brothers and sister. And boy do they love her! Jillian has started eating baby food. She loves it, but just doesn't fill her up all the way. When Jeremy is not around I feed her little bits of bread or mashed potatoes. Shh, don't tell him. He is a slow mover when it comes to advancing the kids on real food.

    Bryton~ the latest news about him is he's a big boy now. He is potty trained during the day...well with #1. He just won't poop on the potty. Jeremy even bribed him with Disneyland if he will poop on the potty. (I'm pushin' real hard for that one...that would be so much fun! I hope Jeremy can come up with the finances for that one.) Bryton is Jillian's biggest fan! He is already VERY protective of her. If anyone even looks at her funny he will tell me about it. Bryton is very clingy to mommy. He is a mommas boy. He is also very lovey. (is that a word?) Anyways, he is still in the terrible two stage. I hope that is over soon. He is always fighting with Tucker and Daisha and getting into everything. His third birthday is Saturday so hopefully that stage will be over as soon as Saturday....yeah right, I wish!

    Moving onto Tucker. He loves Transformers...STILL. Dang I thought kids were suppose to change the things they liked every other month. Not this kid. He sticks to the same thing for about a year. Still loves video games. He had to recently get glasses. The eye doctor said he only needed them for reading but could wear them all the time if he wanted to. He looks to cute in them. Jeremy's going to have to watch that boy close...the girls are going to be all over him. ;) Tucker had his 4th birthday in December and got so many Transformer things, I don't even know what they all are. And I do NOT like Transformers. I don't know how to transform then and neither does he.

    Daisha is going to turn 6 tomorrow. She is very excited! She wanted a Nintendo DS...so I got her one. Shh, don't tell her until tomorrow. She is going to be so excited. Daisha is a very smart girl. Her teacher at school said she is one of the smartest kids in her class. She is in the higher reading level for her age. GOOD JOB GIRL!! I am so proud of her. Daisha is my BIG helper. She is always so willing to help with things around the house. She is always wanting to hold Jillian. I have even caught her a couple of times changing her diaper. She actually does a pretty good job at it too. Daisha and I love to play games together. Her favorite is matching games...cause she is so good at them. She also loves to scrapbook with me. And I have to say I don't know where she got her creativity...she is very good, even better than me sometimes.

    Jeremy is in school again or still...not sure how to put it. Still struggling through that. I am not sure where he stands with that how much longer he has or anything...so I am just going to stop right there. He has still been working with his ebay stuff, and being VERY successful with it. He has been trying to play basketball and get into better shape. He is finally done with coaching for this season. What a relief!

    Now for myself. I am done with Hickory Farms. It was a great season we sold out of everything...which is our goal. And now I am back to being mommy full time. What a great job...until one of them gets sick, which just happened. We are in fact still trying to recuperate from being sick. But it's still the best job in the world. On the side I help Jeremy as much as I can with ebay. And lately I have been trying to catch up on the scrapbooking. I am only a year behind...I can do it. :) Wishful thinking.

    Sorry our lives are not too exciting...but I will post some pictures, that might be a little more exciting.

With all our love,

The Kiesters (Jeremy, Stacy, Daisha, Tucker, Bryton & Jillian)
