SPENCER...LOVES RUNNING AND WOOD SHOP!

THIS IS A PERSONALIZED PEN HE MADE FOR HIS DAD!

A METAL FLOWER AND WOODEN JEWELRY  BOX HE MADE FOR HIS MOM!

AND THIS COOL CHECKERS SET!  WE LOVE IT AND HIM!

SPENCER HAS HAD SOMETHING WRONG WITH HIS ANKLE SO HE HAS NEEDED TO REST IT BUT IN NORMAL CONDITIONS....HE JUST TAKES OFF AND RUNS FIVE MILES A DAY.  HE HAS ALREADY BROKEN THE RECORD FOR THE MILE AT FARMINGTON JR. HIGH!

HE HAD A GREAT TIME GOING TO THE PRIESTHOOD SESSION OF CONFERENCE WITH FAMILY!

I'M SURE BRYANT WILL BE JOINING THEM SOON.  THEY SEEM TO SEPARATE THEMSELVES FROM THE GIRLS!

I LOVE THE ABOVE PICTURE OF HIM IN THE CONFERENCE CENTER AND BELOW RUNNING WITH SUCH DETERMINATION AGAINST MUCH OLDER STUDENTS.

HE LOVES TO BE WITH HIS FAMILY AND DOING THEIR FUN TRADITIONS!!!

HE HAS GROWN UP SO QUICKLY.  

WE ARE SO THANKFUL TO HAVE THEM LIVE CLOSER SO WE CAN WATCH MORE OF THEIR ACTIVITIES.  HE IS ALSO GOOD TO TALK TO US ON THE PHONE.

HE IS A GOOD SPORT TO PLAY CHURCH BALL WITH THEIR TEAM AND SUPPORT BASKETBALL THAT ISN'T HIS FAVORITE.

THIS IS THE DAY HE WAS ORDAINED A DEACON....AND IT SEEMED WE BLINKED AND HE WAS ORDAINED A TEACHER AND HE DOES HIS CHURCH RESPONSIBILITIES SO DILIGENTLY.  HE MAKES US PROUD!

THE ABOVE PICTURES WERE ALL TAKEN ON ELLIS ISLAND.  SPENCER REALLY LOVED THIS AND I COULD TELL HE REALLY LOVED THE HISTORY OF IT.  THAT THRILLS ME BECAUSE MY FAVORITE BOOKS ARE THE WORK AND THE GLORY SERIES AND HE ALSO  LOVES THEM.  BECAUSE HE HAS READ THEM.....I KNOW IT WILL MAKE THIS CHURCH HISTORY VACATION THEY HAVE JUST TAKEN MEAN SO MUCH MORE TO HIM.  HE WILL BE ABLE TO VISUALIZE MORE CLEARLY THE THINGS THAT TOOK PLACE IN EACH AREA.  I JUSTIN AND TASHA REALLY RELY ON SPENCER'S HELP (AND ALL OF THE OLDER KIDS).  THEY COULDN'T DO A TRIP LIKE THIS WITHOUT THEIR HELP AND I AM SO PROUD OF SPENCER AND HOW RESPONSIBLE HE IS WITH THEIR FAMILY AND EVERY THING HE DOES.  SPENCER WAS NAMED THE OUTSTANDING STUDENT OF THE YEAR IN HIS SCHOOL THIS YEAR....AND IT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME.  HE WORKS HARD, RUNS HARD, AND STUDIES THE GOSPEL SO DILIGENTLY.  WE COULDN'T BE MORE PROUD OF HIM AND WE ARE SO THANKFUL THAT HE IS OURS.  WE LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER AND HOPE THAT YOUR BIRTHDAY IS WONDERFUL!!!!
