a Velociraptor and sibling snow photos

Here in Virginia Beach, snow is a rare happening. 
Really, it is a belated Christmas miracle it snowed this year.
so when the heavens do sprinkle snowflakes, us beach bums must take advantage of the  strange  but beautiful fluffy white stuff and go exploring.

yes those are two left handed gloves....
 





the highlight of our adventure was the Velociraptor print we found. look out Virginia Beach, Reptar might make an appearance
The snow makes everything much prettier, i think.
{till it turns to slush.}
But before it all melts away it is so nice to drink in the serene sight of everything coated in a blanket of white.

and the 2013 Temple Trip tradition begins


Last year my family made a goal to attend the Temple at least once a month for the entire year. We were so persistent and had a perfect record for 2012! (and we also gained some fame for it!)

During the last year, we really gained a better perspective on how sacred our temple trips were. Our family would look forward to that one special Saturday when we would drive up and spend the day at the Washington D.C. Temple. 

my amazing parents. they're pretty cute.
This temple is just breathtaking

When 2013 came around we decided to make our monthly Temple trips a family tradition that we would keep the rest of our lives. Best decision ever!
us Brimhall kids (Ishel, Jefferson and Madison) -missing Sarah!


 Looking forward to another perfect record for 2013!

awkward and awesome


Awkward:


  • playing in the water spigot by my apartment by myself cause it is just too hot outside. thanks everyone for walking out of your apartments at that specific time just to see me throwing water on my head in my swimsuit..all..alone...


  • my hair. its wild and crazy. but sometimes it looks okay.

also about my hair; my gorgeous earrings always
 find a way to get caught in my hair as I'm trying to be cool
and swoop my hair into a ponytail in one fluid motion.


  • going with Carter to a Mechanical Engineering Senior Showcase and asking questions about cool inventions they've made. not awkward huh? well it gets pretty awkward when the genius senior who invented his own rocket fuel asks you if you're in Mech Eng and you just stand there next to Carter and say "uhh nope. actually I'm Art Education." and then you feel like you need to back yourself up so you just keep rambling stuff like, "I'm just really into this cool inventions and smart stuff! It's like Myth Busters in real life! haaha ..ha....ok..um.yeah...."


Awesome:
  • rediscovering favorite songs (SUPERBASS)


  • I totally aced my Religion final, YEAH BABY!

  • I have the best roomates in the world.ever.love.them.

  • this wristband some volunteer threw in my face today. it says, "Unlplug and be a bud!"

  • Carter thought bud was a potato (its actually spud) so that made me laugh :)

puppies, roses and festivals

FHE at Brother Seamon's home. Cute puppies!

my lovely twin came on tuesday and we spent the day together laughing, talking and getting so excited for her life at BYU!


Shelby and I rant the Bungee Run
about 10 times before we collapsed.
It was so great!



Notice how I'm laughing while Carter's face shows that he is on a mission
to beat me. I am just NOT competitive at all!


Carter surprised me with a spontaneous date on
the Temple grounds at sunset. I sure love him <3

sun, sand and s'mores

Friday evening at sunset, 20 friends piled into trucks and drove off to the dunes. 
We played frisbee, football, took awesome sunset photos, flipped and jumped off the edge of the dunes, and rolled around and got super sandy.

We had a bonfire and huddled around it with s'mores, ghost stories and s'moreos (oreos with marshmallows in between) 

It was such a perfect night for the dunes. We had such a blast!


 Here is Carter and I doing ariels off the edge of the dunes!



It was such a perfect party at the dunes!
