Here's our German Shepherd, Alexis, cutely perched on our picnic table, surveying the pasture, I guess.

Here is the Mt. Vernon Mustang marching band, Oct. 12, 2002, at the state marching band competition. Spencer is on the far left, the second row from the top.

Spencer, sitting with the band, enjoying another Mt. Vernon High School football victory. On his right is his friend Jason Jones, who, besides playing in the band, plays on the junior varsity football team. Kelly, the section leader, is in the foreground.

We all got into the act carving pumpkins. Here are Spencer, Barbara, and Jared (who is concentrating pretty intently).

Here are Jared and Spencer posing with their creations. Jared is holding Maupier - Spencer is by Alexis. Spencer carved the wolf silhouette in the middle - Jared helped with the one in front of him.

Do you recognize Spencer, Barbara and Jared? They're getting into that Halloween spirit.

Here are the Young Men from our branch on a bike hike, Saturday, October 19. Left to right are Alex Yancey, Jacob Starks, Derek Seehusen, Pres. Jeff Cardon, Lawrence Yancey (Eddy), Spencer, and our Young Men's President, Chad Gonzales.
