Lark 10 Months

This is Lark!  She is on the move! She crawls and pulls herself up on furniture.  She has started getting into things.  She loves to play in Autumn's room with the kiddos. She eats real foods-no particular favorites, but she does not like bananas.  She is still growing like crazy and towering over the kids her age.  We have a ton of size 3 diapers so I actually make all the kids squeeze into them.  Lark wears 18 month clothes and a few 24 month things.  She keeps getting teeth so isn't as pleasant and cheerful as months past.  She loves to dance and her current favorite song is, "Shut up and Dance" by walk the moon.  She has the least amount of hair out of any of the kids at this age. All the other kids had had at least one hair cut by now.  She loves to kneel and sit up tall in this position.









Autumn still loves to play with Lark and often "baby-sits" her for me while I put Violet and Maverick down for naps



Hello teeth!

February

I thought about devoting a post to just the twins, but alas you get one giant February post.  Autumn has been extra challenging lately with her creativity and Lark is mobile and less content to just chill with me on top of getting a ton of teeth.  SO these two have quickly become my favorites lately, especially Violet because she takes the best nap out of all four kids!

We had a super cool frost one day and then a couple days later it snowed on top of the frost and it made all the trees look gorgeous.  I'm not much into nature or snow, but it was defiantly a time I wished I knew how to use my camera better.

I finally took Autumn to get her haircut after she hacked at it a few week prior.  She just really wanted bangs.
These two *trying* to be patient while Autumn got her hair cut.



Evan let Maverick dress himself one Sunday...I mean really?????

Hanging out at the Wyoming State Museum
Still loving some googles..
Pre-Valentines day
These two in there mono crib.
We gave the kids some extra presents we had left over from Christmas for Valentine's day.
Maverick LOVES these Paw Patrol jammies.

We surprised our friends with a pizza picnic for Valentine's Day.  It was super windy, but we had a good time playing.

Evan answering one of Autumn's questions about the earth.
Evan wanted to take a family trip to the grocery store.
Maverick threw a huge fit at Autumn's gymnastics class.  I held him for a bit and he fell asleep.  I was shocked!  So we stayed extra long to give him a good nap!
Violet and me twinning
One of Autumn's kindergarten friend's had a day off from school so we all went to the Children's museum.  I love that place.  It is stressful and causes my anxiety to escalate, but alas I always have a good time.


Evan and I went roller skating for a date night...which is what we were doing 10 years ago as well when we first started dating.
Rub-a-dub-dub all the kids in the tub.

Learn to skate lessons with the kids
A girl after my own heart
Twinners NOT wanting to take a picture while they were playing with their computers.

I arranged a tour of the fire station for my ward playgroup and for my twin group.
Maverick LOVED the truck's reflectors....
Almost everyone group shot.




PROM

I was driving with the kids one day and saw a sign for "Awesone 80s Prom" so, naturally, I bought tickets and asked my man to PROM.

 It was so cold that day that the knock-off Oreos froze and I couldn't peel them apart.  I had to go inside Evan's work and microwave them in order to get them apart!


The event was a fundraiser for the homeless shelter in town. It was fun but not as much dancing as I was hoping for, but at least our outfits were rockin'.
