Super Bowl 47

The past week has been crazy!!!  We are huge 49ers fans (since one of our best friends plays for them) and got a chance of a lifetime to go to the Super Bowl in New Orleans, LA!!!  After two Dr visits to get approval to go, we hit the road (now that I am in the 3rd trimester, I was not able to fly).  We drove through lots of states along the way....
We even got to stop in Birmingham and catch up with one of my college friends Allie!
After stopping for dinner and staying the night in Tuscaloosa, AL we woke up Saturday morning and made the rest of the journey to New Orleans!
We ended up renting a house with Rebecca, William, George and Lillian.  When we arrived they had the cutest arrival table set up along with lots of New Orleans treats!
Ryan and I decided to take a cab to the French Quarter and check it out.  It was probably the coolest cab ride ever....kinda like the show cash cab.  He gave us a score card and asked us Super Bowl trivia!  Ryan was pretty good and we even got a prize at the end of the ride...great way to start our time in NOLA!
After shopping and checking out the city we had lunch at the Gumbo Shop.
We then headed to Pat O'Brian's for Hurricanes!
Once it got dark we got a good taste of the real New Orleans!  Mardi Gras is in a week so things are already picking up around there.
Dinner at Bourbon House....
The next day....Super Bowl Sunday we went to a brunch with the 49ers team and family.  Good food and gospel music...great way to start Super Bowl Sunday!
We were then given our passes and tickets!!
We headed to the game early to watch Andy practice and soak in all the festivities.
Ryan got an alligator boudin sausage dog....looked amazing!
Half time was amazing!  That is when you realize you are at the Super Bowl!
The lights going out in the dome was pretty scary.  It was interesting to watch all the security quickly escorting celebrities/politicians out!  After a brief interruption the lights came back on and the 49ers made the second half a lot more interesting.  

Although they didn't win, it was an amazing experience.  Hopefully next year they can go all they way!!!!  Also no more road trips for this pregnant lady:)  Spending the next two months nesting and getting ready for these sweet babies to arrive!

Bless our Nest Shower

I had my second baby shower this weekend and the theme was "Bless their Nest".  Although we had a winter weather situation and several guest couldn't make it due to icy roads, it was still a huge success!
The shower was hosted by my Mother-in-law's friends and they did such an amazing job.
Me with all the wonderful hosts. 
Nest cupcakes....delicious! 


Ryan's Grandmother gave us the twins baby books which are hand done and sold at the cutest local store Fancy Pants. 


Me with Ryan's mom.
Look who showed up at the end to say hey and help me load up the car! We are both so blessed and thankful for all our wonderful family and friends for showering our two little ones with such thoughtful gifts:)
These ladies thought of everything from sparkling cider and champagne when we arrived to these adorable egg soaps as the take away gift.
Thanks again to everyone for making this day so special and blessing our nest.

Atlanta for NFC Championship!

Right after my shower last weekend we (Ryan, Rachel and I) headed to Atlanta to cheer on the 49ers in the NFC Championship!!!!  Last year Ryan and I went out to San Fran for the NFC Championship and Rachel was pregnant...this year it was my turn!
Four Londry's cheering on #4!!
The theme for the niners was "Quest for Six" so I couldn't resist this next pic:)

Since the game was in Atlanta and so close to family and friends, we had a big crowd cheering Andy and the Niners on!  Wish it was a home crowd, but we still cheered really loud!
We all had tattoos and red lipstick in support of the 49ers!
Zac Brown Band sang the national anthem.
Andy had a great game!   The first punt was over 60 yards!!!!
The game was very intense and came down to the final seconds!!!
Andy had to punt with just seconds left....needless to say we were all on our feet and hearts racing!
The niners won!!!!! Lots of hugs, high fives and tears of joy!!!!
We got to see Andy for a few minutes after the game!
I even met a few really nice players and attempted to get my pic made with Randy Moss.  The camera took the pic in the middle of us talking about me being pregnant so its a terrible pic, but I still had to share:)
Now we are busy making plans to travel to New Orleans, LA to cheer on the 49ers in the Super Bowl!!!!!!!
