our story

It all began on the evening of Nov 29th 2003, at former Chat Noir French Restaurant in Costa Mesa, CA. Brad approached me [Jana] and we instantly connected; it was love at first sight. The next 4 years that followed were a whirlwind of romance, growing pains, and adventures. We circled the globe, traveling to South America, Europe, and Asia. Then one night, Brad surprised me with a romantic beachside proposal. We made it official on August 23rd 2008 with an intimate wedding at a hip art gallery in Laguna Beach. A year later we finished redesigning our home in the beach village of Corona del Mar.

On May 18th, 2010, we were blessed with a sweet little miracle of our own, our baby boy Taj Leon. He stole our hearts and took our breath away! Then, 19 months later, his incredible little brother, Jax Franz, arrived on Christmas morning (December 25th) 2011. What an amazing gift we received! In an effort to slow down the clock and enjoy our beautiful family, in Spring of 2012, we sold our CA seaside home and moved across the country to our dream lake house in Brad's hometown of Bemus Point, a resort village on Chautauqua Lake in Western New York! Even though we are living a more slow paced life, we are living a life far from ordinary!

From the West Coast to the East Coast, our Grover family adventures continue! So won't you come along and join us on this journey of love, family, and travel we like to call our La Vida Grover!

What will Baby Grover Look Like?

Less than 2 months to go until we meet the little soccer player in my tummy! The suspense is incredible as I often ponder what will he look like, what will be his personality, and who will he most resemble? I thought it would be fun to post Brad's and mine newborn pictures. From what we can see on the ultrasounds, when the camera zooms in on his face, I have this feeling we are in store for a Bradley Jr! Brad's newborn pic is on the right, mine is on the left. With mom's spiky dark hair and dad's mohawk, I bet our little guy will be born with a full set of dark hair :)




More pics of us as babies below (Jana: left and Brad: right)





Couldn't find a pic of Brad's dad as a baby, but i did find one of my Dad! What an adorable baby...... will our baby have Grover genes or Dlab genes?


Either way, our precious little guy is going to be his own person, with his own unique personality. One thing is for sure, he will be the cutest baby we have ever laid eyes on, because he's our special creation and miracle! :) Based on his personality in the womb, I can already make some assumptions: 1) I think he's going to be an active baby because he loves to roll and kick around in my tummy! 2) He might be shy, or atleast camera shy! On the ultrasounds he likes to cross his legs and not let us see his boy privates, and he freezes up whenever I try to record his movements or show daddy how he rolls from one side to the next, 3) he may be a gentleman that prefers blondes! This cracks me up, he gets excited and shows off whenever I am talking to my blond friends at work! We are definitely in store for the BEST surprise life has to offer, the older I get the more I realize how amazing life is!
