I'm only 14, yet taller than my parents. My dad is only 5'4'' and my mom is 5'5'', but I'm 5'9''. Not sure how this is. Is it because most, if not all, of the guys in my mom's side are 6ft+? Two of my aunts are 6ft, some uncles are 6'3-5'', and the tallest family member I've seen is 6'8''.

I don't believe I've had a growth spurt yet, because from about 10-11 I grew an inch or two a year, and last year I was 5'6.3''.

I'd like to be 6ft or more, and I wonder if this possible?

I would guess you could add three inches in height so 6ft is possible even probable for you

There's no way to know for sure, as said you may grow to over 6 foot or not grow anymore at all (unlikely). It is a very complicated thing and that will have some influence on it.
