Purple Potatoes

Think you know your foods? Check out this video to see something that was totally new to us. (And trust me, we’re pretty familiar with food so this was pretty cool!)
Meals on the Bus

People comment all the time that we need to have our own TV show… This will prove that it shouldn’t be on Food Network!

Love Me Like This -
Sneak Peak

Check out this video to get a sneak peak of our brand new single Love Me Like This recorded in Nashville with producer Phil Naish! Get updates about the 2013 release on our blog.
Straightening Lainika’s Hair

It’s been three years since we’ve tackled this undertaking. Last time it took 3 hours and turned out pretty frizzy… We’ll see what happens this time!
Talking Tom

There’s an app for that… When you live in the middle of nowhere you have to find things to entertain yourself and we found this hilarious app called Talking Tom. Check out this video for a live demo!
Learning the Lights

We have stage lights! Now we have to learn how to set them up and program them… We’re hoping Dad gets it figured out. Do you think this technique will work?
Tilling the Garden

It only took 23 years for this farm girl to learn how to run a tiller… It started out a little rough but eventually it all got done, and planted and soon we’ll have to pick it all… Oh well, the work is worth it! We LOVE to eat!
Pranking the Prankster

We got Janika!!!! Danika didn’t even give it away this time! Janika LOVES to pull pranks on everyone and so this year for her birthday we thought we’d return the favor. We set it up, planted the camera and you all get to see the results!
Piano Lessons

This is kind of embarrassing to admit but we can’t read music… If you watch this video, you’ll see just how bad our piano skills really are but that doesn’t keep us from competing to see who can play the best!
Workout

Danika is our resident health nut and she LOVES to work out! Often she drags the rest of us into working out with her. Check out this video and see some hilarious and painfully funny moments.
Studio Behind the Scenes

Get an inside look into Live the Lyrics! Check out what really goes on at the studio when we’re recording our vocals!
Radio Spots

So this whole video is one big blooper reel! Now you know why it takes us so long to record an album. As long as it took us to record a 15 second radio spot just imagine how long it takes us to sing a 3 minute song! Just kidding, we practice the songs before we record them! Maybe it would have helped if we would have practiced what we were going to say…
Vocal Week

Want to see where we recorded our vocals for Live the Lyrics? Check out this video to see how everything comes together. You’ll get to to behind the scenes and hear parts of Hold On and Awe of the King.
Arranging Astounding

Want to meet the musicians who made our music become a reality? We’re giving you a look into how they take a song and turn it into something unique and give it a great new spin. Their personalities are great too! HILARIOUS!!!
Photo Shoot

Is there anything more fun than dressing up and getting you picture taken (according to Janika, yes). Our day in downtown Nashville was filled with fun and never ending smiles… literally. We were really tired of smiling when it was all said and done. We now have to narrow down the 1000 pictures to our top 25. We’ll reveal our favorites soon!
Phone Messages

So, our first recording experience EVER! Not in a studio, in our living room… yep, we’re serious. If you want to hear what we used to do before we started traveling, listen to what we used to have on our answering machine.
How Does Danika Do Her Hair

Have you ever wondered how Danika gets her hair that high? So do lots of other people and that’s why we decided it would be easiest to just show you. You’ll see that there is no back combing, ratting or extras (meaning she does NOT wear a bumpit). So, what is her secret? Watch and find out to see the secrets behind her hairstyle.
Hotel Fire Alarm

Yes, really, the fire alarm went off in the hotel we were staying in! Check out the video for the whole story.
Backstage Pass

Here’s a behind the scenes look at what goes on at one of our sound checks and beyond. Will Janika finally sing a solo??? Be the first to know.
Angel’s Medley

We put together two of our favorite Christmas carols and came up with the arrangement that is now the first track of our Christmas Album, the Angel’s Medley. Our producer came up with a great idea for the last two choruses. Be sure and listen to the song and see if you can hear the extras at the end.
Shoes on the Roof

This is what would be on our reality TV show if we had one… Welcome to our real lives.
Shoe Shopping

This is what happens after we’ve been shopping for hours on end. Entertaining ourselves is sometimes hilarious…
Communion Stories

Have you ever been sitting in church and something totally cracked you up at the absolute wrong time??? For us, these things usually happen during communion and prayer when everything is silent and somber and most everyone is having an amazing time with God in His presence… Watch this video to hear about a few of our funny moments during communion.
Wonder

Welcome to Dark Horse Recording Studios! We’re taking you behind the scenes giving you a glimpse of how our Christmas album came to be. We went back to Dark Horse in March 2010 to record the vocals. This video will let you see show you the beginning steps we took to create this new music.
Tubing on Webster Lake

Ah Summer… Fun with friends, steaks and smores, fishing and feuding… yeah I know. It wasn’t a perfect trip (the 7 inches of rain and 60 mph winds kind of crashed our camping experience and didn’t exactly inspire angelic attitudes but overall, we had a great time). Here is what we did during most days. Enjoy watching us crash and splash!
Sound Check

This is not how our typical sound check usually plays out. However, this was too funny not to share with all of you.
Peanut Butter Fudge

I think we’ll leave the baking to Paula Dean… Our Christmas baking didn’t turn out exactly as we planned. It was fun making memories (even if the fudge wasn’t edible).
Mini Golf

We are all professional golfers (as I’m sure you’ll discover after watching this video). Actually, Autumn did have a really good game and beat us all soundly. Keeping score was extremely comical and though we tried, it was sort of a lost cause. There are some moments that are worthy of Sports Center and others that could air on America’s Funniest Home Videos… Enjoy!
White Water Rafting

White water rafting on the Cache La Poudre River near Fort Collins, CO was a blast! A blast of frigid fluid right in your face… We had such a fantastic time that we wanted to go again on an all day trip down river. Though that didn’t work out because of age requirements, we will definitely go white water rafting again someday!
