Halloween with the Bentley's

 

Most kids look forward to Halloween because of all the free candy.  Dierks looked forward to it because of.... explosives? In an article on GACTV.com, DB discusses his past Halloween tradition of blowing things up and what he plans to do this year:

For Dierks Bentley, Halloween was another holiday he could use as an excuse to get his hands on explosives.  

"When I was a kid, I was all into fireworks," Dierks said.  "Growing up in Arizona, we couldn't get 'em so we'd have 'em shipped in illegally.  I still remember the name of the guy we'd call.  His name was Joe, and he's bring in, ship 'em in a package with no writing on 'em.  We were all about M-80s in the mailboxes and bottle rocket wars.  To me, as a kid, Halloween was fireworks, was blowing up stuff around home."

Halloween is a little tamer for Dierks these days.  As the father of two young girls, Dierks is letting his older daughter, Evie, call the Halloween shots, including what Mom and Dad are going to dress up as.

"Evie's got her Halloween costume picked out," he said.  "She's decided what everyone's gonna be this year in our family.  So, she's gonna be The Little Mermaid, and her younger sister's gonna be a crab.  I think his name is Sebastian.  I don't know The Little Mermaid that well, but she's decided Jordan's gonna be the crab.  And she wants me to be Swiper, who's a character from a TV show called Dora, The Explorer.  I think she has Cassie going as Dora."

It sounds like Halloween will be a family affair... even Jake and George were getting in on the costume action!  Here's some pictures that Dierks tweeted earlier this week:

We can only hope that we get a pic of Dierks as Swiper...  I think we'd all laugh. A lot. haha!   

Happy Halloween!!

Trick or Tweet! Dierks Down In The Mine

A trick or tweet exchange with Dierks Bentley and his 'congrass':

dbcongress: @DierksBentley Happy Halloween! What does Evie's costume look like? We'd luv to see a pic of her wearing it!

DierksBentley: @dbcongress, I was down in the mine, am now up and headed out. hope you all are having a good Halloween #fb

dbcongress: Very appropriate/relevant costume 4 you--to keep the baby in shoes! Thx 4 sharing w/ur congrass! (@DierksBentley)

Dude, that doesn't look like Evie, but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do to keep the baby in shoes! And, uh, it could've been worse--you could have been Elmo!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween to all the DB Congress, Dierks, Cass, Evie and all the guys! Check out the pumpkin that Illinois rep, Jayme Ottersburg carved! Above it's in darkness and below is the daytime version!


Earlier this month, Dierks posted a pic of himself with a giant pumpkin:

"NYCday#4.early happy Halloween with gigantic pumpkin from @Regis_and_kelly.southpaw,Brooklyn 2nite w punch bros"

Last year, little Evie Bentley was "Yoda" for Halloween. I wonder what she'll be this year? Dierks, we're dying to know...please post a picture of her in her costume!

See last year's blog and photo here.

HALLOWEEN COSTUMES COME IN SMALL PACKAGES

No, Dierks Bentley didn't hit the stage last night as a Hip Hop Sideways dancer, like 31% of his fans voted him to do. Nor did he ride in on a Motorcyle (18%),don a little white tank top like Becky (16%), or swing a hockey stick like Wayne Gretzky (13%). And not even so much as a Mexican Gringo get-up (11%) graced Dierks Bentley's JCPenney size Small frame.

But he did share a photo of his baby girl, Evie, dressed up like Yoda. Proud daddy added this wording to the adorable pic on Twitter:

"Size matters not.Look at me.Judge me by my size, do you?Hmm?Hmm.And well you should not.For my ally is the Force."


See explanation of why Evie is Yoda here.

WAS DIERKS A HALLOWEEN HOOLIGAN?

According to theboot.com, Dierks Bentley loved Halloween, "...because as a rebellious little kid I thought it would be cool to go as a Ninja every time," he says. "It was my chance to go out and be mischievous. I'd blow up pumpkins and knock mailboxes off with baseball bats ... I'm so glad I have a daughter, oh my gosh!"

Dierks is in Michigan performing tonight and 30% of the fans voted to see him dressed up as a Hip-Hop Sideways dancer tonight! Will he do it? Maybe the DBC reps going to the show tonight can give us the scoop!

*EDIT: Found this on US99.com Chicago: Dierks Bentley and wife Cassidy are dressing daughter Evie in character for her first Halloween. Dierks explains, “Evie likes to play drums, but then she’ll take the drumstick and we’ll have like a sword fight and she kind of looks like a little Yoda. So we went online and got her a Yoda outfit — the ears and cape. But I’ll be on the road, of course, playing a gig as I am on any important date. I’ll get lots of good pictures though!”
