My oldest daughter's now 25 going on 26, so that's how fast time flies. And it was just a wonderful memory," Timmons shares of daughter Alyssa. "I remember back then, it was sort of a struggle to get her in the video because the label really didn't want ... It was back in the day when you could hide stuff and they were trying to make it appear that I was still single. And so there was a struggle there. But the video for us at that time was to put the most important and pivotal people in our lives into the video," he recalls. "So finally at the last minute, they allowed that to happen. So I'll never forget that whole ordeal, but the videos, it's very, very special to me in that regard." When it comes to getting back out there to perform for fans, Jeff says he believes the band has "more fun" now than ever before. "Back in the day, there was a lot of pressure compared to a lot of other groups, and the pressure of being on the road constantly to stay relevant. Now, we have so many things going on. Our career has been established, we all have families," Timmons says. "So when we get a chance, an opportunity to be out there in front of our fans and tour together, there's no pressure anymore other than making sure we put on good show, which thankfully, we are still able to do. I think it's more fun for us. It's sort of icing on the cake to what we felt is a really great blessed career."
