Sure, I'll hold your candy for you but I can't promise it will all be here when you get back!

We all know how much I love being an aunt.

And we all know how much I love Halloween.

So when those two combine, I am pretty much in heaven. And the result usually means over 200 pictures in a 2 hour window. When I realize I have 4 of the same picture, I knew it was time to start deleting and finding the most perfect ones of that night.

Enjoy!

 

 

I had my own personal bodyguards all night.

Cutest Iron Man and Batman I have ever seen!!! 

My sweet Hummingbird

 

Ok...so I must describe what you are about to look out. The church we went to for their Trunk-or-Treat had a DJ and the boys decided to have a dance off. They danced for a good 15 minutes. And what did us adults do.....laughed....the whole 15 minutes. Kent's dance moves involved the robot and the crab dance. Both boys did a little breakdancing and a little martial arts.

Batman is doing all 3 of his moves in one dance... The Robot, The Crab and a little Michael Jackson!

And you saw how Billie Marie was in the flower costume. Well some other little girl wore that same costume years ago as well. Kristen sent me this picture of them two side by side. Both look like their daddies and both have cheeks galore!

I love it :) :)

The 2nd reason I love the movie Gone In 60 Seconds is Angelina......the 1st reason is........

Dear Diary,

Did you know I have a huge love? A love for something that probably most people don't know about me. A love so huge my husband just rolls his eyes at when I see them. What is this love of mine you ask?

Cars

Trucks

SUV's

Seriously you ask? You, Dani Lynn Lewis, love vehicles.

 

YES, I love vehicles. Ever since I was a little girl. I use to want to be a used car salesmen (high hopes). There is something about vehicles I love. The look, the feel, the touch, the 0-60, the weightlessness, the wind in your hair.

 

I don't like cookie cutter vehicles though. The ones that everyone seems to drives. I like sporty, and boxy. I love different, unique, out of the box cars. I will never drive a mini van or something unoriginal. It drives Bobby crazy but I don't care.

 

Take for instance my cars I have gotten to pick out for myself. My parents bought me a cavalier to drive (didn't get a say so but didn't complain because how nice is it for your parents to be able to afford and want to buy you a new car) in high school and it lasted me till I wrecked it and got my sisters hand me down red cavalier. I drove that till it busted, literally. Then my sweet man at the time wanted to buy me a new car. He tried to get me to get something simple and bland. YUCK! Not for me. I chose a Kia Soul, and not just any Kia Soul. The fully loaded, coffee brown color, fun, light up interior, sun roof, mouse approved Kia Soul. It was my baby. If you are anything like my family, you name your cars. I named this soul Bean (for coffee bean). He was my baby. I loved that car so much.

 

 

I really do still miss this car. It was the best car for me. I would recommend a Kia Soul to anyone who drives a lot or is looking for something really adorable but doesn't cost a lot.

After Bobby and I got married, I decided that it was time for an upgrade. The day I started my new job at Lightbeam, we headed out to Clay Cooley and found my newest car. My 4x4 hardtop, red, 4 door, Jeep Wrangler Sport. OMG....this car is the most fun car ever. It truly gets looks everywhere I go. I have taken the top off so many times and right now the whole top is off and we bought a soft top so when it rains, it can be easily put on and off. I always wanted a convertible but Bobby refused to buy me one. Claims they are unsafe and if I still want one after my future children have grown up, we will talk then. (WHATEVER) So this was a compromise. I named this heavy duty baby Chuck. Why Chuck? Well when we were sitting in the dealership, I googled "red things" and then clicked images and the first thing that popped up besides an apple was a pair of red converse. And then it hit me, Chuck!

 

Side note about Chuck.....Clay Cooley's daughter drove this Jeep. And I took it from her. The dealership man said she was going to be very sad. Oh well. Mine now!

 

 

A couple weeks ago, my boss was going out of town and has a 2 door Porsche he was going to leave in the garage all weekend. But then he looked at me with this sparkle in his eye and asked me if I wanted to take it for the weekend since he was going to be gone. You should have seen my face. Like seriously, I almost had a heart attack. But very calmly I said sure, I don't mind babysitting it. I did not get a picture in it but I did take a picture of it in my garage.

 

 

If you were to ask me what my dream car would be or if someone said, "Dani, I will buy you whatever you want." Wanna know what I would ask for?

 

Mercedes Benz G class SUV

 

This my friends is my all time dream. And surprising enough, it has the same shape of my jeep, just nicer. I am also an Escalade girl but that dream is more of a reality than the G class would be.

 

I seriously could talk about cars all day. When I am the passenger in the car, I look at every car that drives by me. And the thing is, I don't discriminate against brands. If it looks good, feels good, and is different, I am pretty sure I will love it. No matter the price tag. My husband might disagree with you on that, but the one thing he won't deny is my love of vehicles. I could spend hours at a car show. It takes all strength I have for me to go into the car show at the State Fair of Texas and all my will power to keep myself distracted because I would sit in every vehicle I walked by. Short, tall, small, large, fat, skinny, monster tires, low rider, white, black, convertible, flat bed, etc, etc, I will sit in it. I am awful at a car dealership too. Looking for a new car for myself is time consuming and tiring. I wear my husband out looking. But I can't help it. I just love them all!!!!!!!!!!

 

I wonder what my next car will be?

 

Hey....a girl can dream can't she?

 

 

 

Love, Me

 

P.S. I hope I didn't offend anyone who drives a mini van or something unoriginal. These are just my opinions and what I love in life. You don't have to agree. You love what you love and I will love what I love. And I love vehicles!

If there ever happens to be a zombie apocalypse, I want Billy Lewis on my team!

Ok so this weekend went way to fast! Like, I blinked and it was Sunday at 2pm. It could be because I had a lot going on this weekend. Friday night was Halloween and I went with the Lewis' to a church trunk-or-treat and took over 200 pictures that I am still filtering through and will share with you on Wednesday. Saturday morning I went and took my sister's family photos for her and OMG was it cold. We met at 10am and the wind was awful. Granted we were by a small lake but I cant wait to share these photos with you (once she tells me I can). I am not one to brag on myself but I happen to take a killer photo and when your test subjects are that beautiful, it really just goes hand and hand! Saturday afternoon, Bobby and I went shopping for a new comforter and we found one at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Because we have a white hair 4 legged child, we have to go light on the color of the comforter but I didn't want all white. We have cream color walls and are getting new dark flooring on Tuesday so I wanted something with neutral tones and that nautical feel. I cant wait to show you all the before and after photos on Thursday. So right now, my house is a mess. Everything that was in the 3 bedrooms is now out in my living room, office and eating area. Luckily, I don't have children yet so it's mainly furniture. I am so tired of looking at that nasty carpet and can't wait for new flooring!

 

So this leads me to Sunday. And someone very special in my life had a birthday on Sunday. My brother in law Billy Lewis. I cant even begin to tell you how much I love Billy. He is one of my very favorite men of all time. I always feel incredibly safe around him. Like anything could happen from a flat tire to a zombie apocalypse and you best believe I will be sticking next to Billy. I love that he doesn't care what you think of him. Like, seriously, doesn't care. He's tough, he's strong, he is a wonderful man of God. He is amazing at CrossFit and after looking back through photos, I thought Angie changed her hair a lot. Billy has had almost the same amount of different hair styles. He makes me laugh and what most people don't know, is that I met Billy before I met any other Lewis member, even Bobby. I met Billy at church camp when I was a freshman and he was senior. He of course doesn't remember me ( I was blonde hair and braces) but we built a small church together and that he does remember. But I remember walking into Bobby's bedroom for the first time and seeing Billy's picture and said "OMG, your brother is Billy?" You could tell Bobby got that a lot. But that's the thing about Billy, wherever he goes he leaves an impression on people. Rather its good or bad, you will always remember Billy Lewis .

You take amazing care of your family and are such a great husband and daddy. You are tough, strong, stubborn, handsome and funny. Thank you for being you and I love you!
