Well the 18 year old will age out, 13 year old maybe maybe not, the 2 younger ones should be ok.

No, you'll do that when NVC starts asking for AOS and other documents to be processed closer to visa interview date.

Thank you for your help. Does this mean her husband could also be in the process? 
Because when I applied for her she was not married to the father of her children. Now that they are married he can also process along?

Husband well technically needs to be the one when the visa number becomes current but can also come as well.
