Fort Collins Temple Open House

The Fort Collins temple has been in progress before we moved to the area.  The open house is going on right now.  We went down to Colorado with our friends who were recently baptized.  It was a bit chaotic with our herd of kids, but hopefully Autumn will remember this trip when she is older.
Getting ready for the drive down...



Autumn insisted on bringing her scriptures with her to the temple.



I look at this picture and think "YIKES, that lady has FOUR kids" (also Autumn wanted them to all be matchy-matchy and wear white)  And I totally forgot to pack Maverick and Violet's shoes...



We went and got ice cream afterwards....


Denver Children's Museum

My sister had a 9 hour layover in Denver so we picked her up and went to play at the Denver Children's museum.
I regret buying such a big stroller..then all the kids think they can fit on it.C

Lark and her cousin Zora who is exactly 6 weeks younger than Lark.


Possum?


Violet and Maverick loved this energy display where they hand cycled a boat and train on a bicycle chain.

The outside area was my favorite.  I could have stayed out there all day

Violet stole someones stroller
I hid Lark under a bench so Violet and Maverick wouldn't get her

There were lots of kids there...and possibly even more adults.  I noticed lots of nannies and grandmas helping out.  Which lead to Heather and I getting lots of looks and complaints since we had 5 kids between us.  *insert eye roll*  The kids had a good time and we missed most of the Denver traffic.

Lark E. Shark

Lark 4 Months Old





She is 4 months...But I'm way behind on her doctor's appointment...SO no stats, but she is growing growing growing! She wears size 2 diapers and 9 month clothes! I think she looks a lot like Autumn did as a baby.  However Lark appears to have green eyes!  She rolls over from back to front.  She is still a super patient and content baby.  Autumn adores her and often asks to hold her and complains, "I haven't held her all day!" Lark giggles and smiles.  Maverick and Violet call her "La". I call her "Shark", "Shark-a-Lark", "Shark-e-Lark".  Maverick and Violet are starting to ignore Lark more thank goodness!



Almost rolling over
Matchy-matchy

I often find Lark just chillin' in her crib after her naps.
