This weekend was Corbin's first soccer game...enjoy the video!!

A late start to 2008...

Well we have been horrible at updating this so far this year....forgive us?? To start how about a recap on everyone.

Kara is coming right along with boy #4...yes, for those who dont know we are having another boy. We were somewhat overwhelmed and taken back but are now excited to have another Clayton boy! She is feeling well and stays busy chasing after the other 3. Her side business is taking off especially in the custom cake making department. People are calling from all over the metroplex to order cakes.

Chris is staying super busy in the studio and is working with some very talented people. One of the bands he produced was featured in CCM Magazine and another artist had a song he produced go #2 on the Christian Independent chart. As usual the winter/spring is busy with dates on the road. The band and him leave out for about 5 weekends in a row starting this week. His new record is coming very well. Things at the church are also good and busy as the new year starts.

Corbin will be playing soccer for the first time this year. We are so excited about him playing. He is all geared up with new ball, shoes, shin guards and a winning attitude. He will do so well.

Callen is still our little hand full. He is growing up in so many ways and getting tall. He loves to watch mommy (and yes daddy) cook. He also is the best at messing up a clean room in no time flat. amazing....

Cade or "Tubbs" as we have called him is getting his own little personality. Words are starting to come from his mouth and he is taking off like lighting now in the walking department. He has the coolest hair ever and his eyes kills all the ladies.

This last weekend we celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary with a trip to Nashville, TN. We stayed in a bed and breakfast in Franklin (a suburb of Nashville) and just hung out with no agenda away from the kids (thanks to Nanna Dee). Enjoy the pics. Also I threw in some new pics of the boys....ladie killers!!!

Pete and Me..

I had the cool opportunity to go out on the road with my friend Pete Coatney this week. Pete goes to my church and is a great guy who loves Jesus. He plays drums for country artist, Jack Ingram. Jack is a rising country artist who has toured this year with Brad Paisley, Dierks Bently and Sheryl Crow. I had the chance to tag along with the band and crew for a one night run to College Station. - chris
