I really miss him. I miss him with all my heart~bad!
 |
| This was our first day at Panorama school. I was in 2nd grade and James was in Kindergarten. I miss walking to school with him. I miss talking with him. We would always talk and laugh about funny things. Anytime I would see James at school, he would yell,"Hi Spencer!!!" really loud, sometimes he would just hug me. One time we were going to the bike rack, this kid that was James friend, James told him that I was eight years and had been baptized and went to scouts. The kid was like "Ohhh I want to be eight too." I think James was proud of the good decisions I was making. He always looked up to me and wanted to be like me. |
 |
| We went fishing one time. My dad would always take us. James would keep throwing rocks in the water cause he didn't like to fish. One time when he went fishing he caught a fish and he got to scarred to reel it in. Another time ~So I was pulling my fish pole back, right when I was about to throw it into the water, it snagged James in the chin. He was the biggest person I have ever caught except daddy's shirt, and my eyelid. So I guess you could say I like to catch people as well as fish:) I think dad wants to be a good dad and take me out fishing a lot! |

Me and James wanted General Grievous's lightsabers for Christmas and we got them.
Here are some fun baby pictures with my brother James
We were using these bowls as hats and then laughing hysterically when they fell off
 |
| I am hugging James cause he was sad, I wanted him to feel better |
My Buddy, two peas in a pod.

| Rub a dub two boys in a tub |
 |
| Playing the saxophone like daddy |
 |
| It was always interesting to see the trouble James got into. |
I wish you could have heard their favorite game. They would hold hands and jump off the couch. They would laugh so hard, and then get up and do it all over again. Fun brother time!
 |
| When James and I were little we would climb up the stairs of the temple and knock on the door to see if anyone would answer. One time I turned around and said, "I guess Jesus isn't home right now, we will have to come back later." |
Our trip to the Saint George Temple. One Sunday we got from church and my mom asked why we hadn't changed out of our Sunday clothes. We told them we wanted to go to the temple. So we all got in the van and had a really fun time at the temple. This picture is me and James with our arms around each other. It makes me think of love. I am sure there will be many times in my life when I can feel James arm around me. He was my brother friend.
 |
| This makes me think about families, how they can be together forever. Knowing that makes me feel happy. |
 |
| This is our missionary picture. We are both in our suits. Missionaries preach the gospel. James is on his mission now. I will go on my mission when I am nineteen. I think James will be with me cause he loves me, he will always love me. |
 |
| People should go the temple. I learned that is a house of God and we should respect it. It's a peaceful place to be. You get blessed when you go there. Because mom and dad were sealed there our family can be together forever. That means James is still my brother in Heaven, that makes me feel really happy!! |
 |
| We can be a family together forever. James was a great brother for me. Gracie is a good sister for me. My mom is a good mother for me. Dad is a good father for me. I am the great oldest son for them. Jesus helped us be families forever. Jesus Christ lives. He is the Savior, the firstborn of Heavenly Father. He created the earth for us. He helped us with our prayers. When we need Him, always pray for His help. The scriptures are true and if you read it you will feel the Spirit. You will know the truth of prophets. The scriptures are the sacred book of the words of the prophets and the Lord. It is called the Book of Mormon. When I was scared when the lights went out I prayed and I saw a smiley face on the ceiling. I think it was from James, it helped me fall asleep very quickly. |
Dad told James to sled down. I was still on the hill and I kept falling off my sled. Once dad told them to go I turned around and said "Oh great" I tried to hurry down as fast as I can. I love James laugh at the bottom of the hill.

| Spencer and James loved Thomas the train. One summer Thomas was visiting the Heber valley railroad and the boys got to take a ride on it. They had so much fun. Grandma Farnsworth got them their cute railroad outfits and they were ready to climb all aboard. One of the reasons I love this picture so much is because when the train started to roll Spencer got really scared. James on the other hand could barely contain his excitement. If you look closely at James you can tell we are holding the straps on his overalls to prevent him from falling out the window. He wanted to see it all. We showed Spencer how James was not afraid and Spencer crept centimeter by centimeter till he could peek at his brother and enjoy the ride. It was a moment when they both helped balance each other. One of my favorite pictures |
LIGHTSABER DUELS
 |
| James trained me to be a Jedi knight. He taught me how to block the legs from getting cut off. James is a good Jedi master. If you will notice James lightsaber is purple. It belongs to Mace-windu (played by Samuel L. Jackson) We wanted to dress up as Jedi's for Halloween. James asked mom very seriously ," Mom, will you shave me bald and paint me chocolate? Come on, Please." |
James loved rides at Lagoon. He almost went on all of them.
Spencer and James were on the same soccer team. They were two stars on the team. Spencer was really good at getting goals for his team. There was one game we went to and the other team did not have enough players. The ref pointed to three of our players and told them they were on the other team. James flipped over his shirt and off he went. (It really didn't make that much of a difference since it was herd ball anyway.) So about a quarter of they way through Spencer made an amazing run for a goal. It was awesome. He came running over to the side lines to get high fives and thumbs up from Joe and I. James finally made it over from across the field and picked Spencer up from behind and started shaking him. He picked him up three or four times. He was so excited for his brother. (Keep in mind that he was wearing the other teams colors) It looked like it was the other team congratulating Spencer. Everyone on the side lines started laughing. It was funny. In a way I think it is a lesson for Spencer. When the call came from the referee, James didn't hesitate. He's on a different side now. But whenever there is reason to celebrate, or whenever Spencer is happy, or when he makes a great choice, I bet James will be there cheering just as loudly as he was then. I know he loves you Spencer,so much. The hardest things for him is that he can't talk to you, or laugh with you, or play with you right now. I know you were his favorite person to be around. You were his best friend. I know he looked up to you and watched what you did and followed your example. You are still his big brother and are still setting a good example for him. I know it hurts him to see you sad and lonely, he wishes you could feel his arm around you, as he tries to help you everyday. He would tell you he loves you and then declare kissing torture for Spence!!
I hope you always remember he loves you!
