My mom loves to make Easter Baskets and she and dad stopped by before they headed out to the Dominican Republic for vacation to drop them off. Zach and I got some sweet goodies and Tallis got books, bath time goodies, and toys. He is not even here yet and he is getting Easter baskets! Do you think he is going to be spoiled??

April 6th: 32 weeks and 2 days...
A Busy Saturday...
Saturday, April 4th, was a super busy day. I had 2 baby showers to go to and wrapped up the day with a lingerie shower..whew! We had a lingerie shower for Lindsey at "The Wine Cellar". It was so much fun. We had the cutest little waiter (who I think had a crush on Katie) and the conversation was a pleasure as usual.

Tallis's Nursery
Here are some pictures of Tallis's nursery...It turned out to be perfect. I absolutely love it!! I could have not gotten everything pulled together without the help of my in-laws and my parents, and of course my wonderful hubby. Barbara, my mother-in-law made all of the bedding and window treatments AND painted the strip on the wall. It's finally all come together and now we are just waiting on little Tallis to get here:)

Nashville Trip
Last month Zach and I got the opportunity to go to Nashville to record a music video for his new song "Say Goodbye Slow", you can listen to it at www.myspace.com/zachryan. It was soooo neat! There was hair and make up and a wardrobe team. Zach did great of course... he's a natural.

Bishop came to visit.
This is Bishop Barton who may be the best baby in the whole world. I hope Tallis will take notes from him:) Bishop came to hang out why Mom and Dad (Courtney and Chris) had a date night. Bishop loved playing with Jack, our miniature chihuahua, and Jack couldn't get enough of Bishop's attention. It was precious! Oh and to see more precious moments from Bishop, check out his blog at BishopBarton.blogspot.com.
24 Weeks and counting!
1-31-2009...Wow! Tallis sure is growing fast...I woke up one morning with this tummy. Tallis is about 8 1/2 inches long from crown-to-rump and weighs about a pound and a half. He has being so active lately. He has been waking me up and night and putting on a show...He likes to start around 8pm. I think he has his days and nights mixed up.
Texas Game
Okay, I know that the Hogs aren't having the best year ever, but we did get to see one great game...We beat Texas and it was super exciting! It was Tallis's first basketball game and I think he may be good luck. I guess we should go to another game so we can start winning again!

New Baby Bump Pics...I'm half way there!
So we have found out we are having a baby boy, it's so exciting! Now we have started on the nursery and picking out colors. There are so many cute things out there, it's hard to choose. We've gotten the crib, which is really neat. It converts into a toddler bed and also into a full size bed. How genius! Here is the latest baby bump picks, or the phrase that's been given, "The Gump Bump". This is 20 weeks (or 5 months for all of the guys out there). I can't believe how fast the time is going by. I am really able to feel him moving around now, especially at night. I think he's a little confused on the sleeping schedule. Zach got to feel a couple of kicks a few nights ago. It is absolutely amazing, that's the only way to describe it.
20 weeks and counting... my jeans are starting to get a little snug:-(
Here is The Gump Bump at 16 weeks. I was still super sick at this point, but right about 17 weeks, I started feeling much better.


Happy New Year
Here are a few pictures from New Years Eve. Boom Kinetic played at the UARK Bowl in Fayetteville and it turned out to be a great time. This is Zach setting up his new Christmas present from my dad, a wireless guitar system. So now when he jumps around on stage, he won't get tangled up in his wires. He was really excited about it.
This is my tennis coach, Zach. I was so glad to see him out since we haven't had practice in 2 weeks. Okay ladies, he is cute and single, and not to mention an awesome tennis player!

Merry Christmas!
Gina, Mom, and me on Christmas morning. We woke up at 5:30 to open presents because we had a big day of traveling and family Christmas's ahead of us. First we drove to Nashville Arkansas to have Christams with my dad's side of the family (about a 4 hour drive). My Granny and Pop live on a cattle farm and we always visit on the holidays. Then we left there around 3 and headed to Little Rock to have Christmas with Zach's mom's family (about a 2 hour drive from Nashville).
Zach had a full blown photo session with Jack in his Christmas sweater. This was the cutest one, Baby Jack loves to pose for the camera!
Zach got me a new MAC Notebook for Christmas ( although I think he secretly got it for himself), we told each other we weren't going to do anything big and he goes and gets me this...What a great husband! Oh, and since Christmas, he has really enjoyed my Christmas present.
We celebrated The Gump Christmas on Christmas Eve this year since we had such a busy Christmas Day. We all put on a new Christmas present for the picture. I'm wearing my new maternity vest, Z has on his new scarf, Jacob is wearing his new sport coat and Bruce is wearing his new Razorback hat and fleece vest. I also got a sewing machine, I have no idea how to use it yet, but I can't wait to learn. My mother in law, Barbara, cooked a fantastic Christmas dinner and wonderful dessert, Yummy!



Rock Band Rocks!
If you've never played Rock Band for the Wii, it's a must. Zach was out of town a few weeks ago, so I visited Lindsey and Cassidy and we had a Rock Band party. It was soooo much fun!
Here are Jade and Caden on the vocals, Zach on the guitar, and Cassidy on the drums...Cassidy wouldn't give up on the drums because Lindsey and I scored higher than him.
