Camping Season in Texas!

Ok well we may have jumped the gun on "camping season" in Texas.

Turns out January is still kind of cold.

And by cold we mean 50 degrees.

Hahaha.

Anyway! We had such a great time camping this past weekend! 

Beach camping is seriously our favorite. 

Light breeze. Beautiful sunsets. Beautiful scenery. No bugs. Light breeze. Sound of the ocean as you fall asleep. Beautiful sunrises.

Seriously- amazing.

 Our little fire... we really were cold.

And it was only 50 degrees.

I can't believe we've become such wimps.

 This girl is nearly nine months pregnant and she came camping- what a woman!

 Sunrise!

 Breakfast hash, mmmmm.....

 We camped on Bolivar Island- which is just a short ferry ride away from Galveston.

The ferry ride always adds to the adventure.

Camping again next weekend, what?

Anniversary in San Francisco!

San Francisco has been on our "travel radar" for a while...

SO when a FIVE year anniversary, a BYU bowl game, and cheap flights all lined up perfectly- well we couldn't say "NO"!

So off to San Francisco we went!

I'll be honest...

sometimes I wish Jon and I were fairweather fans for BYU football.

It's painful to watch sometimes.

Like their past bowl game.

Although they lost-

we had great seats, it was a fun atmosphere, AND we got to hang out with great friends!

AND I'll let the video tell the rest of our San Francisco adventures!

A Stone Christmas!

Christmas is wonderful.

Enough said.

I can't imagine anything greater than eating pounds of sweets, and spending time with family.

It's da best.

We jetted out Saturday morning over to St. George!

After a quick lil' flight-

 We separated- boys and girls...

Girls went shopping and got pedicures.

 Boys ate steak, went shooting, and played Risk.

Sunday was Christmas for us while we were all together!

We had an amazing Christmas dinner, made cake pops, and played lots of games.

We were even able to catch up with some old friends!

We spent quality time with each other...

all on our own electronic gadgets ;)

Ok, ok... we really do know how to talk to each other.

Monday and Tuesday everyone took off...

but we had some extra time to hang out in St. George!

We Cafe Rio'd it up...

Went to the temple...

And sang songs on "real" Christmas Eve at the tabernacle!

I always get kind of depressed once Christmas passes...

but cheers that it comes around each year!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
