Wirigs Take over Disneyworld!!

So Fair warning... lots of pictures, but its for my own record!

Last week we got back from a very fun-filled, exciting, and awesome trip to disneyworld... thank you to Justin's Parents!! IT was amazing. EVERYONE got to go...12 kids under 10... and 12 adults! WE all made it on the plane and 4+ something hours later we landed in Florida! We boarded the disney bus that took us to our disney themed hotel! We swam around and went to bed. The next morning bright and early we were all up and headed to the first park, Hollywood Studios. Fun. Kimball and Kara went to their version of american idol we got to go cheer kimball one of the final showdowns. I was chosen to be in the Indiana jones show... thank you fam for volunteering me... it was a fun day. The next day we went to magic kingdom which is basically disneyland on a bigger scale. The kids LOVED that and it was super fun to watch them and be with them. The next day we went to animal kingdom and went on an african safari. AWESOME!!! Seriously, I couldn't see any fences protecting us from all those things right by our cruiser. Then we went to Epcot for the other half of that day. We went back to magic kingdom the next day, and then our last day we spent touring the world back in Epcot. IT was very fun... VERY HOT and HUMID!! Holy cow! We woke up at 3:30 sunday morning to head out to the airport... so that was a couple hours of sleep that night at best. Boarded the plane and made it home safe and sound to new snow on the mountains and freezing cold weather! RIDICULOUS if you ask me! The dream is over and back to real life. We are so grateful for the chance we got to be with our whole Wirig family and the love we feel for everyone of them is... well its big ok. Big is the only word I know how to spell out of all the other words i Am thinking :) Thank you betty and kimball/mom and dad Wirig! It was awesome!

Taylor's Face on all these rides are priceless! She was FINALLY here and she couldn't have been more happy about it! She soaked it ALL up and was a trooper through it all!

It was a good trip... Thank you again Betty and Kimball! We love you!

And a Happy Mothers day it was...

Happy mothers day to ALL women out there! I am so blessed to have the cutest, aw

esomest, funniest, and happiest kids ever! I am so grateful every day for the chance I have to be a mom. I do admit it is SUPER hard sometimes and I wonder how I will survive the day without losing it, but I think motherhood is something that heavenly father NEVER lets you do alone. I think there is always some "extra heavenly help" always with you. I can't imagine my life without these girls in my life. I'm so humbled by the opportunity to raise these children of God. I love you Taylor and Skylar!

Thanks to the best husband ever too that helps me get through day to day. HE is a GREAT dad! They love him so much. HE made it a beautiful mothers day! We also got to witness our niece, Alice, get blessed in church yesterday too. I love babies! I'm grateful for a wonderful mother-in-law who I feel so loved by! And I am grateful for all the mothers/women/friends out there who have impacted my life for good!

Last but not least my own mother! She is a rockstar of a mom! I love her tons and happy that she has never stopped loving me... even when I've been really hard to love... like ALL of High School! You all are amazing!

Taylor is all white... from her hair to her clothes so sorry if this blinds anyone... it was really bright outside... so that doesn't help

Some people have requested comparing taylor and skylar.. so this top pic is of taylor at 7 months and the next one is skylar at 7 months...

Easter '11 and such

Easter was a fun time this year. Every holiday is just more and more fun the older our kids get. Taylor actually understood the whole easter bunny thing but more importantly understood what Easter is all about. If you ask her what happened on Easter she tells you that Jesus died and then 2 angels moved a rock after 3 days and he was resurrected. Not bad. Her nursery leaders were loving it. Saturday we had a big easter breakfast and Egg Hunt in the Wirig downstairs...all the cousins and everyone was there except BJ, Katie and their two cute girls... we all missed them very much though! So Taylor is full blown hilarious/terrible twos...so that keeps me busy.. and skylar is crawling like crazy and has 3 teeth so far! Life! Whew.

Here are the kids all Huddled around their Aunt Kara

Easter Morning!
Taylor Strikes a pose EVERY time a camera is around... she is pretty good at it too haha
Awesome bed head!
She looks like a lion when she rolls out of bed... much like her mom... and again another Tay pose

Wow... long time, long post...

So its been a couple months since I have posted anything on here... so I will try to remember what we have been doing. Time just seems to be flying by. These kids are getting so big so fast. Taylor is almost 2 and a half. Skylar is 6 months old. Taylor weighing in a generous 23 pounds... at least she has made it onto the doctors "chart". Skylar is a whopping 14 pounds and is 25%ile for everything. Taylor is singing and dancing her way through every day. She has a HUGE imagination. She cracks me up everyday... mostly all day. Potty training is done, and then we go on a trip or something and throws it all off... ONE day she will be set to go, um I hope. Sky is happy and sits up, scoots ALL over the place, almost has the crawling thing down, has one and a half teeth. She is getting a new crop of fuller hair. She sleeps great and taylor and her LOVE each other. Justin is doing awesome this semester in school and keeping busy working full time at Adobe still. He is a busy guy and we love him for all he does. He just got back from Cali on his first "work trip". Sometimes I wonder when I will get a "work trip". But that would include taking my kids, SO... don't know if I would be up for that. I stay home and play and be Mom all day, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I love these two little crazies. I am grateful to be a mom and to be able to spend so much time with them. It gets overwhelming at times and hard, I'm not going to lie, but in the end it is ALL worth it. Conference was great, but again, I need to reread/listen to it ALL because I have a couple busy bodies that don't exactly allow us to pay attention to anything but them.

Taylor and Me just hanging out and having a good time.

Justin and Tay at the park. (This pic cracks me up, looks like he is holding her up by the scruff of the neck or something)



Taylor and cousin Carter at chuck-e cheese
Went to get sky after she woke up, taylor had been in there previously, and stuck her with a nice eye sticker. Skylar didn't move a muscle. Just deer in headlights look until I removed it.
At the aquarium

Just watching her big sis run around and go down the slide...

My friend Emily and her husband invited me to go to the Jazz game with them. Fun to catch up with them and Laci.

Sisters




I've got great family who were just here for conference weekend, and friends who I have seen quite a few of the past couple weeks. Life is still good! :)
