Trip to Alabama for Papa's memorial golf tournament

We went to Alabama for the annual Steve Driggers memorial golf tournament in honor of Jon's dad hosted by Papa's company. Jon & his brother Brad & their team won the tournament!  Yay!  We also spent a day at the pool.

As we were driving home, we passed alot of utility trucks going to NC after Hurricane Irene.

Dexter's cancer

A little voice told me to go outside & spend quality time with the dogs & to do it now so I did. When I got outside to the dogs area, I noticed Dexter's testicle was ALOT bigger than his other one (the little one at the top is the size they are supposed to be):

We made a vet appointment & they said yes, it's cancer & he had a castration that week. He is fine & cancer free now!  Yay!  Although he might not see it that way!

Jon's 39th surprise party

Jon turned 39 on Aug 8. I figured he would expect a party for his 40th, but not his 39th. A friend from church had thrown her husband a surprise 39th for the same reason. By the time I got the idea from her, I had a week to plan!  I was able to have a few friends & family over to make it enjoyable!  Below are highlights:

                                        They only had 30 sucks lollipops so I added a"9"
