Cowboys, Snakes, Studio, & a New Year!

    Cowboys, snakes, the studio, hillbillies, and chickens describe some of our last year. The Double Wide Church Video was an ADVENTURE in itself.  It was my first acting debut, but I did survive with only a cracked but now fixed violin! (Thanks Williams Violin Shop :-)), and everyone escaped the clutches of the snake and Swamp People! I was so grateful to all the fans from across the country that helped us out by being "hillbillies" and meeting them was UNFORGETTABLE!!! Also, thanks to you all for watching and sharing the video on facebook, youtube, and emails.  The DWC SHARE-A-THON is going to be ending at the end of this month, but you still have time to participate.

After the Cowboy Church... Howdy Ya'll! :-)

    We topped off 2 final concerts of the year at a cowboy church, (as you can see by the pics) and a kentucky new years bash at a church. Meeting people different from you allow you learn from the them and learn more about yourself.  The closer I come to know people, the more I realize what we have in common with them!  It was our first time to play on New Years, and hopefully not our last!!!!!  Not bursting bottlerockets and cannons in the air with a raging fire like normal was a little different, but praying into the New Year and seeking a better year was waaaayy worth missing that!!!

Guess who's singing in the studio!  (Hint: banjo)

    Studio time has really taken up a lot of our time, but we can't wait to let out what's gonna come out of our NEW CD!  Some songs that we wrote mixed in with little attitude and sweetness compiles our cd.  A cool beat, a little too much banjo(just kidding Nicole), and our thoughts were put together to make it up.   
   Now for 2012, it has come so quickly! It seems like life is going so fast for me, but so far I've had a good start.  A new year represents a new day.  We can start over each day wanting to have a better one than we had a day before.  God forgiving me for what I did yesterday allows me to live TODAY with a NEW attitude and guiltless from what I did the day before.  So start fresh with me today, tomorrow, the next day, etc... striving to be more loving towards God and others.  Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."

NEW CD Info/Music Video

Hey there!

This is Nika! You usually here from Natalie or Nicole, but today I decided to tell you all what we’ve been up to lately. 

We have been working on some new songs for our upcoming CD that we will be recording soon.  We actually co-wrote a couple songs on this album.  We’re excited to share them with you all! We thank you for your support so we can record another CD! The songs we will be putting on the CD are songs that we have related to in many different ways such as either fun, country, trials we’ve been through ourselves, and just life in general! Just different things God has showed us and blessed us with! He is awesome, and we hope that we can praise him together with this new CD!

We have been to and performed at many places that were special to us!

We have made a New Music Video to our NEW single  “Double Wide Church”  that had a lot of fans and radio DJs participating in it; so be looking for them and also some special guests!

Love yall! Have a Great thanksgiving! God Bless! -Nika

Smokey Eye Make-Up Tutorial by Natalie...

     Hey ya'll!  I love putting on eyeshadow, and it is the funnest part of doing my makeup.  My favorite eyeshadow look is the Smokey Eye.  I usually use the colors black, silver, and white, so it can be a pretty easy process.  I just wanted to make a video to show that getting the smokey eye look can be fun and easy while taking less than 5 minutes.  A few little tips and EXTRA Fun tricks are also included in the video, so I hope this helps anyone in achieving the Smokey Eye!

Simple things

I (Nic) have had some time during the past week or so to relax. I am still playing on weekends and some weekdays but I still managed to get some time to just sit in the front yard and enjoy the sunlight anyways.

My chickens are all grown up now (ha that sounds so dumb) and I get to enjoy gathering eggs and trying to raise more little chicks. It is just neat to see God's creation. I think its so cool how chickens know that they are supposed to climb into a square box and lay their eggs. They can't understand English so that haven't heard anyone tell them to do that. They could lay their eggs anywhere but they automatically know the right certain spot is THE spot to lay their eggs. Maybe I'm easily amazed, but I don't care, that's cool.  God wired that into them. God put it in their DNA. I think he did a similar thing to us. He put it in our DNA to be happy in the sunlight, in nature, so that we would know that there is someone greater than us. So we would ask questions about creation and know in our hearts that there is a greater being that could have only designed everything to work together so well. Just think, the most complicated thing that we can make is still not as impressive as making a chicken from nothing. A skyscraper or rocket ship is a lot of metal (that God created) and impressive electronics, but humans still have not managed to make something so impressive as a chicken. Just think about what we would do without chickens!! -Nic

NO!! Violin Flew Out of Truck! :-(

Me, my sistas and Billy Byrge ("Bobby" from the Ernest movies)

    Ayalin is my violin's new name.  (Aya- "fly swiftly") For the Double Wide Church music video, we were filming a scene of us playing in the back of a truck.  I was hanging on trying not to fall in the back, but then the brakes were hit! I flew backwards without the violin in my hands.  It flew on the asphalt, and I couldn't bear to even look.  Someone picked it up, but, thankfully, it was still in one piece.  There was a large break in the front and on the side. I dropped it by the violin shop today, and the repair man said that it was amazing that my sound post inside did not break.  God was looking out for me because, otherwise, it would probably be unrepairable.  I'm so thankful it did not break completely because I need it this weekend!  It's not everyday my violin takes a hit, but I'm glad it will be bandaged up and will be ready this week!!! It refuses to be shut-up and wants to stay with me a few more years.  I'll keep playin Ayalin as long as she's good to me! -Natalie

Tennessee Titans

My (nika) 1st Official blog, 

     Well here it goes... My sisters and I were performing at the Hard Rock Cafe in Nashville last weekend, and after we were done performing, we just sat down and were talking to some friends.  One of our friends Mrs. Teresa was there and noticed that some of their very own Tennessee Titans football players were sitting down eating by our table.  So, we got to meet them and get pictures! 

 The first one we met name was Rob Bironas.  His number is #2 and is the present field goal kicker for the Titans.     

                                                                                                                               

The other football player that we met was Craig Hentrich.  His number is #15, was the punter, but just retired this year after 15 years in the NFL.        

Sorry for the shortness of the Blog, and usually if it is your 1st blog your suppose to show off and write a really long one, but instead I have a lot of pictures ;) ha Love you all! Thanks for your support!

-Nika
