Valetine's day 2010

Brit and I had a pretty good Valentine's weekend. We hung out with Travee and Claudi on Friday night and watched the opening ceremonies and had some Mexican food. Saturday we went out to dinner together to chilli's we went a little bit later which was actually nice because there was only a 10 minute wait. We got each other some fun gifts too. Brit got me a sweet pair of nice Smith I/O goggles, and I got J-lo oh I mean Brit a nice pair of sunglasses.

A few weeks back we went to St. George with A-bag, Krid, Trav, Brickelle, Cole, Brit and I.

Here we are at Fiesta Fun getting ready to rub plastic.

Gettin all nasty at the Mesquite track

About 3 weeks ago Brits family had a condo up at The Bird for a week. We stayed up there almost every night. It was really nice and relaxing hittin up the spa just about every night and having friends come up and hang out.

One night she and I decided to hit the slopes.

Brit shred the gnar. Wellll kinda. Gotta practice that toe edge too sweetie

One day Bill, Andy, Trav and I were able to go to Powder Mtn and get our shred on. Fun times.

Drew boy and his I/O's

Tis the season

A quick post on the last few weeks. With Christmas, my b-day, New Years and everything else there was plenty to post about.

I have been able to go up to The Bird a few times in the past few weeks. They have a tunnel there they opened a few years back to access the back side of the Mtn. it is nice to go back there because this time of year that's where the sun is shining.

The Tunnel

The view is awesome when you leave The Tunnel.

This view is awesome too! Yeah boy!

I got a few sweet gifts for Christmas and my B-day. I got hooked up with a Sonicare toothbrush.

And a sick Jazz hat.

One night we were able to head down to Temple Square and see the lights. I got a few cool shots with my camera.

For my B-day we invited a few friends to have dinner at The Rio. I love that place.

Birthday cake, Coley was pretty antsy to blow them out for me, but as you can see there were only two candles. A 3 and a 0 :(

Brit made a sweet Motocross themed B-day cake for me. Instead of saying over the hill, it says over the whoops. Thanks sweetie.

Here are two videos, the first of Cole and shay and their new slot car track, the 2nd is of cole on a sick "twack" I made in front of their house.

Our Wedding! (Just a little late.)

Well me and Ben got married 3 months ago and I am finally posting our wedding pictures from our photographer. Sorry a little late. Some of you have already seen these, but here they are for the others who haven't. It was hard to pick from over 800 pictures. So if you want to see more let me know.

I love the Draper Temple and I'm so glad Ben agreed with me to get married there.
It was a perfect day. Even with the rain and the wind at the reception. At first I was a little nervous that it would be a bad storm, but it didn't ruin anything. People sat in the rain eating and it didn't seem to bug them. It turned out wonderful. It is funny took look at the picture of the temple below and think later that day it stormed. All in all it couldn't have been a better day. What a great experience it was to get married in the temple and be sealed for time and eternity. It is the best way to go!

Thank you to everyone that came that day and supported us. We really appreciate it and love you all!

This picture is great! I love looking at the facial expressions on people's faces. And I love Rachel and Loggan standing in front of us.

The extended Grossen Family

I love my siblings! They were all wonderful help for the wedding! Thanks!

My wonderful parents! Thanks for everything, and letting me have my dream wedding.
Love you!

My friends are wonderful! I'm glad they were all there for me that day, and it was wonderful to have Coral and her girls there all the way from Japan! I'm sure glad she planned a trip to Utah the week of my wedding.

Ben's side of the family. They are all wonderful, and I couldn't have asked for better in-laws! Thanks for all your help at the wedding and for the wonderful shower you gave me. And a great dinner!

Now for just me and Ben.

I love these pictures by the windows. Draper Temple has the most amazing windows.

The reception set up. Thanks to everyone that helped set everything up. And to my amazing sister Melanie who planned all my flower arrangements. She did such a great job. I loved them all. Thanks to everyone that helped her put them all together you are great!

I loved our cake. It was just simple and I was glad to not have to throw a bunch of cake away. I love the flowers that Melanie got!

This one reminds me of that American Gothic Painting by Grant Wood. -Ben

My cute niece Rachel and nephew Tommy. I think this picture is great of them.

It looks like Jack was trying to pick Tommy's nose. Gotta love little kid interactions with each other.

We have the best nieces and nephews!

It was wonderful to have two full rainbows for our wedding. It made some wonderful pictures for us!

Cute little Jack Jack!

Amazing!

Thanks to some wonderful neighbors for bringing some tents and making sure me and Ben had cover the whole time.

Cutting the cake.

I wanted to smoosh it in his face, but he told me not to. So I thought I would be nice.

After people started telling me to smoosh it in his face and here he is telling them no. It sure is a classic no look for Ben.

Getting ready to toss my bouquet. I think Jen really wanted to catch it.

This picture just makes me laugh.

Ben tossing the garter. None of the boys wanted to touch that.

With our photographer Harmony. She was the best!

One of the reasons I wanted the reception in my backyard. We get some amazing sunsets.

My car with smooshed eclairs all over it. Chocolate is not easy to clean off of your car!

Well once again the day was perfect and it couldn't have been perfect without all your help. We have great families that helped prepare days in advance and the day of. Mel I think you need to start your own company, and mom, grandma, and aunts you need to have a catering business.
Our photographer was awesome and got some great pictures! And I'm sure glad we had her for this perfect day.
Thanks again to everyone!!!!

Also here are some of my favorite Bridals if you haven't seen them yet.
