A Beautiful at the Beach! This was the best day on our vacation. Spent the whole day on the beach! Trey spent hours chasing the seagulls on the beach. Brax spend hours running from the waves in the Ocean with Grandma Diane. Matt and I watched with big smiles on our faces. Just seein our kids have fun and laugh and smile made the whole day/trip!! I will never forget the way Brax looked when he saw the Ocean for the first time, and put his toes in the sand. I laugh still when I think about Trey chasing the seagulls and he could never catch one. Listening to him laugh as he ran towards them. And I cant wait to be able to go on another family vacation so we can make new memories. All though these were tough to beat!!

*Just One Kiss*
It all started with just one look. Me and Matt met when we were sophomores. We hung out with the same friends and became good friends. What he didn't know was that I was totally falling for him. I had the biggest crush on him ever. I wanted to date him so bad! But we never dated until we were seniors inhigh school. He was so cute!! We were inseperable! I remember our first kiss!! We were sitting in my bedroom watching Sleepless in Seattle. I asked him why he never kissed me. That was when he told me he didn't think he was a good kisser. So I leaned over and kissed him. Boy was he wrong!! And that was all it took. I was hooked!! I remember he would come over and be with me after he got off work until my parents would send him home. But when he left my house I would run downstairs to my room and call him. We would sit up all night and talk about everything. On his 18th Birthday I went to his house with him. His grandma just happened to come over to give him his Birthday. We were talking and he all the sudden said, "Grandma when your done with Heathers Dress, will you make Tonya's?" I was surprised. I mean he hadn't even purposed or anything. So we went to dinner and went back to his house and got in the hot tub. As we were sitting in the hot tub with his brother and Heather he tells them that we are going to get married. So on Valentines Day he came and got me from school and we went to lunch. After that he had to go back to work. But after he got off work he came and got me and we went to his house. That was when he proposed. WOW!! So we were sitting in his room and he tells me he will be back. Than he comes in and gets on his knee and asks me if I will marry him. Oh my gosh! So cute and sweet. I of course said yes. We got married exactly a year later: Valentines Day, 2003. And That is where our story begins.

*Who Me?*
Trey was born November 19,2009. He was born 2 months premature. He weighed 3lbs 7oz and 14in. long. He was born at Utah Valley in Provo. Because he was born so early hae had to stay in the NICU. He was there for a month, and came home the 20th of December. Just before Christmas. He was our little Christmas present. His Big brother Braxton was so excited to finally meet hsi baby brother. He couldn't stop hugging and kissing him. Still to this day Brax is very close to Trey!! As a new born baby they tested his hearing and he failed. So after many tests we found out that he is deaf. He got a cochlear implant when he was about 16 months old. The implant is a device that makes it so he can hear. There is a piece that goes on the inside of his skin. So he had to have surgery to get that part. But than there is an outter piece that is basically the hearing part. They connect together by magnets. We call it his ears, because basically it is. Without the outter piece of device he cannot hear. He has to take it off for bed and bath. He will have to have speech therapy probably all through school at least.
Trey is a very active kid. We call him Monster, or Baby Godzilla. He loves to climb on everything. And he can literally desrtoy a room in a matter of 2 seconds. He definately keeps us on our toes, but we love him no matter what!

Me and Brax
I grew up in Springville. I graduated from Springville High year 2002. I have just recently went back to work and I enjoy it. Their are many things I enjoy doing but being with my husband and son are my most enjoyable times. And some of the most memorable. Braxton is my little miracle. Without him I dont know what I would do. I never dreamt I could be so lucky. I feel that I am the luckiest woman in the world. I have an incredible husband that loves me. He is a hard worker and is my rock. I have 2 wonderful sons. Braxton Matt and Trey. Braxton was born July 1st, 2005. He is now 4 yrs. old, and is so smart! He is my little miracle. He was born at 34 weeks, so 6 weeks early, and came home. He has CP but has never let it get him down or in his way. He is getting so big. And we just recently had another son named Trey. He was born Nov. 19, 2009. He was born at 31 weeks, so about 2 months early. He is so tiny, but doing very well. You know what they say great things come in small packages. Both my kids were born early and they were both very tiny! Trey had to be put in the nic unit. So he didn't get to come home with us. He looks just like his big brotherthough. So I now have two of the most incredible children in the world. I seriously couldn't ask for more!! I have everything; an absolute wonderful husband, who still to this day can make my heart skip a beat when I see him. An incredibly amazing 4 year old, who still takes me by surprise everytime he achieves in more and more stuff, and still doesn't let anything get in his way and doesn't give up. And a baby that is so tiny but precious. He is so much like his brother, because the minute you take one look at either of them you fall in love with them. They make my heart beat and I love them more than life itself. They are all my whole heart and soul! I am not a churchy person at all, but I still believe in god and I am thankful that he has givin me what I have! My hobbies are hunting, camping, boating and spending time with family and friends. My favorite place to go boating is to Lake Powell. My favorite holidays is Christmas. I love it because of my son. Being able to experience throu a childs eyes is great. There is nothing better!
About Matt
*Daddy N' Trey*
*Daddy N' Bee*
Matt grew up in Payson. He graduated from Landmark High year 2002. He now owns his own business, called PM Repair and Recovery. He loves his job. Although I wished he was home a little more. But I cant complain. He is a great husband and a wonderful dad. He enjoys a lot of things I think the biggest thing he enjoys right now is being able to teach his son everything he knows. He taught Brax (a 3 year old mind you) how to blow a duck call. I cant even do it right. He is also extrememly happy that we are going to having another son that he can teach. His hobbies are hunting and spending time with friends and family. His favorite hunt is the duck and goose hunt. I love to just sit back and watch him and Brax run around and play. Nothing makes me happier than that. To hear them both laughing and having a good time is all I can ask for. Every night before Matt climbs into bed, whether Brax is asleep in his bed or just laying in his bed watching a movie, Matt always kisses him and tells him he loves him. I love him so much. Every morning before he leaves for work he kisses me goodbye and every night before he falls asleep he does the same. He is my rock! He has always been there when I needed and is an incredible husband. He is such a hard worker. He has never given up on anything he has set his mind to, I really think that is where Brax get's it. He works very hard for everythign we have and he wants. He has never let anything get him his way. He loves to have a good time and he loves for everyone he is around to be having a good time. He is always making sure that everyone is happy. He has so many great qualities, but his best ones are being the best dad he can be and husband.

Brax
He is our little miracle. He is so happy go lucky all the time. Yet he has his moments where he wines, but most of the time he is an up beat child. He is loved by everyone that has ever had the chance to be around him. He has the ability to make you laugh and cry just like that. He has never let anything get him down especially his disability "Cerebral Palsy". He is very full of life. He is so smart. He always ahead of his class. He enjoys many things. He loves to have sleep overs at his grandparents house, and having sleep overs with his cousins. He loves to ride the four wheeler, go camping and play games. He is so excited that he is be a big brother. He loves his little brother trey. He always tells me that he is going to teach Trey everything he knows, Oh Boy that ought to be interesting. hehe! He has many friends, in fact I have never seen a kid that has been liked by all who come in contact with him. His best friends are Blake and his cousin Colten. He is absolutely my Angel! He keeps me going no matter what. Every night when I tuck him in bed he always asks for one more kiss and one more hug! Than he tells me that he loves me. Than we have to spray sweet dream spray as he calls it in his room so that he wont bave bad dreams. Sometimes it's hard to get mad at him cause he will say "You hurt me feelings, when you yelled at me." It almost makes me cry when he says stuff like that. He loves animals. He has 2 dogs, his one dog Shanney he has to take everywhere. The other is Rosie, he just got her and she is a cocker spaniel. He calls her his girl. Him and his daddy are great pals. He loves him so much and wants to be just like him when he grows up! They truly are best friends! He likes to go and see his dad at work, and he always asks him to play boxing or cars with him when he gets home. He loves to go hunting and fishing with his dad as well. He is so funny. His new pal is his grandpa. He likes to come play with his grandpa during the days he dont have school. And they go on four wheeler rides, eat ice cream and watch cartoons. What can I say he is an extrordinary kid and is so incredible!
