Dixie Chick Natalie Maines enjoys downtime with her sons

Dixie Chicks member Natalie Maines, 32, is preparing for her role in indie movie Stealing Cars but enjoys spending time with her sons Jackson Slade, 6, and Beckett Finn, 3.

I live at the beach. We play volleyball there every Saturday.

As for the rest of Dixie Chicks,

They live in Texas, and we’re all busy being moms. It’s nice.

Natalie is married to Heroes star Adrian Pasdar, 42. Band member Emily Robison, 35, has son Gus, 4 1/2, and twins Julianna and Henry, 2 1/2, while Martie Maguire, 37, has twin daughters Eva Ruth and Kathleen Emilie, 3 1/2.

Good for them for taking time off to enjoy their children while they’re young instead of feeling pressured to come out with another hit album. I’ve always admired the Chicks’ business decisions.

Emily’s oldest son’s full name is Charles Augustus, but actually they call him Gus. Just a f.y.i.

Aww, that’s nice that they’re just chilling out with their kids. They’ve been busy promoting their album, and touring and stuff so they deserve some time off with their families.

I had heard there was some beach whale sightings down in Santa Monica. How awful for those who must have witnessed this spectacle.

I find it a little hard to beleive that a 3 yeard old is playing volley ball in the sand. Come on. Get real.

FYI. Emily’s last name is actually Robison. She’s married to Austin musician Charlie Robison whose brother Bruce wrote my favorite Dixie Chicks’ song – Travelin’ Soldier.
