Sven

Oh what to say about my older bro.

He is awesome!! I love having an older brother and I’m excited that I had a boy first so he could be an older brother to his siblings, too.

Spencer is so great. He is a man of many talents and he is super smart!! He knows something about everything and I love his tidbits of information.

Sunday dinners are the best when Spencer is around. He always cracks us up with his funny quips and hilarious accents. I also love it when he cooks! Did you know that he rarely follows a recipe? He whips up amazing dishes all the time and you better not ask for a recipe because he has it all in his head. He puts certain ingredients together that I wouldn’t dream of combining, yet it always tastes fabulous!

My brother is my favorite person to scare. Whether it be hiding around the corner, in the closet, or banging on the bathroom door, he is the best to scare. And he always gets us back!

Spencer has a huge heart. He is always thinking of others and what he can do to help, or make things better. He is very generous and kind. He is such an amazing uncle to Phineas and he is always so gentle with him. I also think Spencer is the only person who comes over to play with our doggies. They LOVE him! He gives them quite the workout, and it’s nice to have someone keep them entertained for a while. We have neglected the dogs quite a bit since we had Phineas, but Spencer gives them lots of love.

Spencer is stubborn… in a good way!! He can do anything he sets his mind to. A while ago he thought it would be cool to have a Renaissance Faire here in Utah. As kids, our parents took us to the Faire for several years and we loved it!! In high school, we even worked there! We thought it would just float as a “good idea” for a while, until Spencer set out to make it a reality. Now it is really going to happen, in September this year! He has worked so hard to set up this event. Keep an eye out for more information and check out the facebook page, The Utah Renaissance Faire!

Spence is a great friend and an awesome brother, and I am so grateful for him and that’s he’s a part of my family.
