Families ARE Forever!

This past week I have felt so blessed to know that I have a knowledge of the plan of happiness, that I get to be with my family for eternity. There is no end, I love it! My heart is squished with love for my two families...Katz's and Wirig's... but I am super grateful that Justin and I have made the best decision to be married for time and ALL eternity, and now our little Taylor and this other little little on the way are always going to be with us.. plus the other ones that I don't know about yet... I love family... but mostly I love these guys....

One of my favorite hymns:

"I have a family here on Earth. They are so good to me. I want to share my life with them through all Eternity.
Families can be together forever, through Heavenly Father's plan. I always want to be with my own family, and the Lord has shown me how I can. The Lord, has shown me how I can."

~I teach the primary every sunday, and when they sing this, I cry like a baby... how embarrassing, but I just love those dang little kids!

Scouts?

Yep, we have been called to be Webelos leaders in our ward... I know NOTHING about boys or scouts, but I think it will be fun. It will be the best to do this with Justin. I just wish they sold those dang cookies...

Now Announcing...

So, we have been busy with school and life, but it doesn't stop us from having fun. I guess now I can officially announce that we are having another baby in September! We are really excited. Had the first doctor appointment today and we got to hear the fast little heart beat! Love that sound! Everything is looking good and we are just excited.

Made this little sweatshirt for taylor to wear... thats how she told Justin the good news... she went up to him and said "baby"

She is the cutest... I don't know how this next one will be, but if its at least as half as good as her, we will be happy happy!

Too Long

So, again, its been way too long since I have posted anything on here and way too much has happened. I hope I can remember most everything that has been going on. First of all it was Justin's birthday at the end of January, and so, we followed our tradition of going to the Jazz game after being stuffed by Tucanos.

Then we went to California, it was for my grandpa's funeral, but it was still a great time with Family.. a lot that I haven't seen for years and years! We went to the beach, walked around the city, and just hung out. Taylor HAD to push the stroller the whole time, which made time go by slower than we would have liked but she is a big girl.. 15 months old and 17 pounds!



And then it was Valentine's day. I have to say I love this holiday. It just reminds me how lucky I am to have the husband and family that I do. I love them all! Justin's sis Danielle and her fam were up for the holiday and its always a blast to play with them. We all went to the dino museum here at Thanksgiving point.


So I am re-committing myself to blogging once a week, I have gotten so bad and this is going to be an exciting, fun filled year!

...and a Happy New Year! (christmas part 4) St George

So New Years was fun. I never have really liked this holiday very much.. just because I think I am so tired by midnight, or we just don't do anything that exciting. But this year was my favorite new years eve and all! The day after we got back from seattle, we got in the car and drove down to St. George to be with Justin's sister and her family. we love going down there! It was fun to visit, eat, play the wii, and play with the kids.. and EAT! So we decided to do a fondue dinner. 3 Course thing with cheese then brothy stuff for the meat and veggies and then chocolate for desert of course. LOVED it! Then we went outside and did some fireworks with all the kids. Then we celebrated new years at 9:30ish, and the kids went to bed, and us big kids stayed up and played! It was so much fun to be there with them and I'm grateful for family that lives so close and wish my own fam lived closer, but it was fun to spend the holidays with so many people we love! Oh and on christmas we got to talk to justin's brother and sister on their missions in Denmark and Kirtland! MIss their guts but they are doing amazing! Merry New years everybody!

Christmas Time Part 3 (Washington)

So we woke up to a white christmas... its not a snow white christmas.. its a washington white christmas.. where its super frosty outside.. its looks like it snowed. Everything really is white! So that was pretty cool.




We walked down by the water by my house and played at a little park. It was freezing, but a good time!



LOVED WASHINGTON!!

Christmas Time Part 2 (Washington)

We flew home to Port Orchard, WA to spend Christmas with the Katz family! I loved being home and being able to have our whole family there for once in a long time was a super awesome thing! (Dad, Mom, Ammon, Me and Justin and Taylor, Michelle and her boyfriend Isaai and Carter, Larisa, and our great dane Anna~) My parents absolutely spoiled us, but I'm not complaining!

We left Taylor and my nephew Carter with some babysitters and had a night out in Seattle with the family! It was so much fun~
First... the ferry ride across the water to seattle from my town is always SO much fun and so pretty!



Then we ate at this nice place called Salty's, right on the water looking straight over to the Seattle Skyline! It was so pretty! The best seafood I have ever had, and just so fun! Yep, I finished a whole pound of crab all by my lonesome! Pretty sure I will be wiping butter off my face and hands for the rest of my life!



Then we drove into downtown Seattle where my mom surprised the girls with tickets to go see broadways's touring "White Christmas!" My all time favorite movie! The play was amazing, and so fun! At the end when they sing white christmas, it starts snowing on the audience! I don't know if it was snow makers or what but it was Magic! And the whole crowd sings right along with them! LOVED IT!



So Christmas eve we go and drive looking at lights... well this house was RIDICULOUS!!! So cool. You get out of your car and walk around their whole yard that is decorated by lights on every inch!!! There is a river of blue with a bride you cross over, every character from disney or whatever you can think of blown up and lit so cool. It had santa's workshop, his sleigh, an outdoor movie with little cars kids could sit in and watch like a drive in, a little train for kids to ride, everything you can imagine! SO FUN!







Of course there are always Christmas eve PJ's! Taylor has learned to say "cheese" for the camera this trip, so we have a good cheeser of her. Her cousin carter and her are only 5 days apart, her being the older of the two.. you would never guess.. they are about as opposite as they come.. but they sure do love each other
