Cisco Switch Redundancy

In the Topology shown in the screenshot, I have redundancy all the way up to the core switch(Multi Layer Switch)/
I wonder if it is possible to have 2 core switches for redundancy and may be later add 2 routers for redundancy...

So that if one core switch fails the other one will service the traffic , and if one router fails the other will service the traffic....

Thank you

So HSRP,VRRP,GLBP can be applied to core switch redundancy as well as to Router Redundancy?
I want my Redundant Network to be as shown below :

Though I am not sure if the topology below at the core switches and routers is correct for redundancy to happen:

SO I can configure HSRP on Router0 and Router1 as well as on Multilayer Switch0 and Multilayer Switch1 ?
Regarding VLANs I need to put PCs on Vlan 10,20,30. How can I do that on Distribution Switches (2960 Switch0 and Switch1). If I understand I cannot make both switches Servers.

I want Vlans 10,20,30 created on to propagate to Access Switches and if one of the Distribution Switches (Switch0 or Switch1) is down the other will still be able to service traffic for VLANs 10,20,30 ??
Thanks
