We LOVE that the Powelson's came to our house for Christmas 2010. Such a cute family and we love them so much. There is no need for words when you have great photos.
We love you, Chester, Julie, Rulon, Mads and Mina!

RAGING WATERS
We had a lot of rain, day after day. It melted the snow higher up and filled the rivers here in the St George area.
This is the Santa Clara River. The water is nearly as high as the bridge. The two backhoes are pulling large trees and logs out of the river to keep them from blocking the flow of the water.
Up stream you can see that the road across the river has been washed out.This is the Santa Clara River. The water is nearly as high as the bridge. The two backhoes are pulling large trees and logs out of the river to keep them from blocking the flow of the water.
They definitely helped to control the course of the water.
Where there is water, there will also be water falls.
This one we found in the Kayenta area. So pretty.
Christmas Sugar Cookies
Rulon and Mads made sugar cookies when they arrived at our house. We tried a new way to decorate them this year. We used evaporated milk with drops of food coloring in it to "paint" the cookies before they were cooked. It took about 6 drops to get a dark color in about 1/8 cup of the evaporated milk. Then we gave the kids bowls of colors and a water color paint brush and let them go. It turned out remarkably well, and there was no messy frosting to deal with.
Rulon knows exactly what he wants and is very artisitic.
Julie even got in on the craftiness.
It looks like Mads likes the stars the most.

Monument Valley
We had a beautiful drive through Monument Valley.
The rock formations are incredible and...
the Navajo Tacos and Fry Bread was the best ever!
It was a great trip!
John Albert Scorup Home in Bluff
Dennis's grandfather built this home for his family
in Bluff, Utah. This is the front of the house.
The house from the rear. It is listed on the
National Registry of historic buildings.
