Happy Funks , originally uploaded by GraMomBo . Yesterday, Emma, Graydon and Jackson were going to come over for dinner. But Noah had a seizure in the morning and threw up just half an hour before they were to arrive so Murray took dinner over to their house just in case Noah was contagious. Murray didn't want to take pictures but he did it for me. Thanks, Murray!

Em & Jack , originally uploaded by GraMomBo . After the bath Emma and Jackson worked on their language skills. Eye contact is first and foremost. Looks like they've got that down.

Washing the Goobers , originally uploaded by GraMomBo . Here is Jackson getting a sponge bath. He was surprisingly cooperative, even while washing the goobers from his eyes.

6 Days Old , originally uploaded by GraMomBo . Jackson and I spent a fun night watching movies and letting mom sleep. And taking pictures, of course.

Owlz Fans , originally uploaded by GraMomBo . Tonight we went to the opening of the Orem Owlz game. We have season tickets next to our good friends, Marj and John Eldard. The Owls is a AAA farm team for the Angels. We had a great time. Until.........

Carpe Diem , originally uploaded by GraMomBo . Noah literally "seized the day" at the the Owlz game. We had a great time trying to keep him from lying down after he finished seizing.

Going Home from the Game , originally uploaded by GraMomBo . Noah Goes Home in style. He is riding the Owlz official ATV to the car since he was barely conscious and couldn't walk. It was quite an adventure. The man in the red shirt is Zach the general manager who is driving. Noah is being held on by Murray and the EMT.

Murray does not have a bleeding ulcer. He has diverticulitis. He only lost 1 pint of blood. But as he says, "It looks like a lot when it's all over the floor." He is taking two antibiotics. Cipro and Metro......something. He has to give up all alcohol including vanilla extract mixed in anything not baked, like whipped cream. Apparently, it reacts poorly to the Metro...blah, blah, blah and will make him violently ill. He has until Thursday to feel better or he gets "his cat scanned."

Middle Provo River.JPG , originally uploaded by GraMomBo . On the way home from Cascade Springs we stopped by one of the sites for the Provo River Restoration Project. Years ago the Middle Provo River had been "canalized" which has caused problems with some of the flora and fauna of the area. Over the past few years land has been purchased allowing the river to return to it natural coarse.

Murray & Noah at Cascade Springs.JPG , originally uploaded by GraMomBo . Tonight we went for a drive on the Alpine Loop up to Cascade Springs. We started through Sundance and came home on an unpaved road near Heber right by Soldier Hollow Olympic Park. It was nice to get out and about. We even saw a 2 point buck coming for water.

Home for Fathers' Day , originally uploaded by GraMomBo . The Graydon Funk Family returned home from the hospital today. What a nice Fathers' Day gift. Here are the men of the family chilling together on the couch.

Home for Fathers' Day , originally uploaded by GraMomBo . Look at this precious little Jackson. He looks happy to be home. His PKU test was normal but the bilirubin count was boarderline high so he needs it checked again tomorrow. Meanwhile he is enjoying some rest.

Sick on Fathers' Day , originally uploaded by GraMomBo . Poor Murray spent the his Fathers' Day in bed. At this point it looks like Murray is suffering from a bleeding ulcer. I don't think its just anxiety. I think its all the NSAIDS he takes for his arthritis. We almost went to the ER but he wanted to wait and promises to see his doctor first think in the morning.

Welcome Jackson! , originally uploaded by Grandma Boren . Jackson arrived this morning at 2:59 AM MDT. He is 6#12oz. I have no idea how long he is but I got to help with the delivery. It was really wonderful. Emma did a great job. She is soooooooo happy to have him out. She was in labor for 32 hours. Thank goodness for epidurals. She was so exhausted I don't think she would have survived in one piece without it. It was a wonderful event. Everyone is happy and healthy. Jackson is a little bruised because he was facing right so he could see me. Dr. Glenn suggested that I get on the floor to see if Jackson would look down. LOL It's a good day.
