Ficker Family

This weekend I'm going to take a BIG step for me. I'm going completely outta my comfort zone- I'm heading to California on a road trip with the boys. Oh my gosh, scary. I'm going with Serena and her family. It's going to be her and I with 6 boys. We're going to be very out numbered. ;) I'm sure it'll be fine. I'm just a little nervous because I hardly go to the store up the street without having an anxiety attack. I actually think it will be so much fun. We're going to see my family. My Sister, Gina, and her family along with my Brother, Tony, and his family haven't met our newest little additions. The boys are super excited to meet them. They ask me everyday how many more days until they get to meet their Aunts, Uncles and cousins. Those silly boys. ;) So we leave tomorrow for St George. Joaquin is driving me down and staying the weekend with us and then we'll leave for California on Monday afternoon, drive half way and stay at a hotel for the night and drive the rest of the way in the morning. We're splitting it up so it won't be so bad for the 5 little guys in the car. I wish there was a medicine I could give the boys to make them sleep longer. I drove up to Logan with Nickie last weekend and they got a little irritated on the way there and that was only and hour and 15 minute drive. They did really well on the drive back though. Anyway, it should be a fun trip. I'm sad Joaquin isn't able to come with us. He has to work. I kind of think he's excited to have the house to himself. I know he'll miss us but he's already talking to his brother who lives in Boise about going fishing over the weekend. He'll also be getting a full week of sleep which will be the first time in over 3 months.

OH MY GOSH...I forgot to mention that Brock actually slept all through the night on Wednesday. We put him to sleep at 10pm and he woke up at 6:15 am. It was so great. I wish I could say the same for the next night. They both did pretty good. We put them to bed about 10 and they woke up around 2:30-3am, which isn't all that bad.

We had the Boys Blessed on March 1st. Joaquin did a really good job on blessing them. I think he might have been a little nervous but you would have never known it. That day, there were 5 babies being blessed. Holy babies! So fun though. I was really proud of Joaquin since he had to bless two little boys. Talk about pressure. I figured he would get up there and bless one of them and then grab the second baby and just say, Ditto! Hahaha! Just kidding. We were able to have some close friends and some family be there. We can't wait until May so that the whole rest of the fam can meet the boys. Here are some pictures of that day....
