Happy Birthday Spencer!

Spencer turned nine years old yesterday.  He is such a good boy.  We had a good time celebrating his birthday.  He opened his presents before school then Marlee, Karalee and I met him at school during lunch time and brought Panda Express.  After school we took him shopping to spend his Toy R' Us gift card from Grammy and Grandpa Sanders and birthday money from Grandma Flake.  He picked out a Pokemon Nintento DS game.  We then stopped at Krispy Kreme because Spencer requested donuts instead of a cake.  We were lucky we got the donuts for free because we showed them the boys' latest report cards and they gave them a free donut for every A.  After that we had Chad meet us at Souper Salad.  Spencer thinks that is the greatest restaurant of all time.  All the kids love it because their ice cream is lactose free and they can eat all they want.  Here are nine facts I love about Spencer.

  1. He is a peacemaker.  He will make sacrifices to help his brothers and sisters be happy.
  2. He loves Chinese food.
  3. He is a good student and loves school.
  4. He gets up on his own every morning.  We get up at the same time, but I hardly ever have to go into his room to wake him up.
  5. He is a good brother.  Each of his siblings love him and love to play with him.
  6. He is a big help.  When it is dinner time and Marlee is hungry and wanting me to hold her, but I can't because I am cooking dinner, I can always count on Spencer to take her outside or in the other room to play with her.
  7. He loves to play sports and is a good athlete.
  8. He is a hard worker.
  9. He reads his scriptures on his own almost every day.

 
Have you ever seen a kid so excited to get socks!

Excited for his new basketball shoes.

He looks so much like Chad in those pictures minus the red hair. Happy Birthday to Spencer.

Krispy Kreme gives a free dozen on your birthday. For younger kids they don't require proof, but adults they do. :) I like his idea of donuts instead of cake. Happy Birthday Spencer!
