BIRTHDAY show

We had our BIRTHDAY show @ the Tiniest Bar in Texas and had such a WONDERFUL turnout. People literally came from miles around to see the show.

Check out the link below for a clip preview of one of our songs "I'm Ready"

Our Band
Family

Then we headed down to the FRIO to celebrate with our friends, "even though the river was a record low....we headed on down to float the Frio"

The forecast calls for a busy year

So, I just recently started my job at the Austin American-Statesman placing ads in the Advertising department. My official title is Multi-media Coordinator...I know I know....fancy:)

April and I have been really busy editing photos and taking them, which we are not complaining...we are so excited that the photography thing is doing so well, and also our band is starting to book some more shows. We don't have anymore shows this month but just booked one here in Austin on Saturday the 15th of August at 8pm if you are interested.

We are booking up fast for photoshoots the rest of the year so if you're thinking about doing one you better make it quick:) We will of course be doing our Christmas sessions probably around October. Check the blog www.twintyphotography.blogspot.com

Let's see...what else??? It's been like 105 degrees and we were doing bootcamp right in the heat of it all but are yet to see where we're supposed to be shedding the pounds. We are due to go back into the studio the end of this month....can you believe it's almost August? Just wanted to give a little heads up on what we've been doing. I will be back soon to update on stuff we've done and pics from our shows.

Grapevine Opry

Hey hey hey.....

We have been asked to come and play at the Grapevine Opry June 20th. Not sure on times yet but thought we'd give a heads up. It's like a variety show so we'll actually sing about 3 or so songs with their House Band and then there will be a bunch of other acts in addition...

Hope you can make it!

New sites and such

We've got a new blog that you all need to make sure you're following, well technically it's April's but I will say that some of the pics on there are ones I took:

So, we've been in the studio recording and are now waiting to go back in. We've done the rough tracks and need to get with our producer to fine tune the things we want....and in the meantime we're practicing with "OUR BAND:) " so that we can start playing shows by mid- June. So, stay tuned because we're hoping to be booking shows outside of Austin.

WE're headed to the FRIO this weekend for Memorial Weekend....super excited about that. It's been too long.

So we finally have made baby steps at relocating to Austin. We started our jobs last week and are trying to find somewhere to live that's in between both our jobs.

We also got a couple acoustic shows on the schedule that we are really looking forward to doing. So go and check it out on our myspace page.

We are in Houston this weekend attending the rodeo cookoff that we go to every year. It's so much fun!

Next weekend we will make the short hike down to South Texas for our cousin's 8th birthday. Should be a birthday to remember, just as it was last year.

Ok well I haven't updated this in a while and a lot has happened.....

1. We moved from Dallas and are planning on moving to Austin as soon as we get jobs there.

2. We had an amazing Christmas in both Eden and Portland with the family and found out we will be having another cousin in the mix soon.

3. We spent New Year's in New Braunfels at a little bar with friends.

4. We are planning on recording an album in the next couple months with good friends Keegan Reed and Brandon Hodges in New Braunfels,Tx, while looking for band members in the Austin area.

5. I had a clean bill of health on scans and have been recovering really well.

Wally is gone and Amy is home......We are all so relieved and can't wait to get back to the normal functioning of daily activities and our music. Thank you to everyone for your support through all of this Tumor mess but we are on our way back to normalcy. Here are some pics from pre-surgery as well as post-surgery.

The family made tshirts as to what I needed to remember about all of them and wore them out to dinner.

April was feeling a little light headed when she first saw me so they gave her a wet rag and she wrapped it around her head like mine....

I got my hair washed after they took off the wrap and catheter in my head. It felt good to have off....my ears were killing me. The incision looks like a little headband so that's cool. The nurses kept asking who the patient was once I got to my own room.
