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!

4 month goofiness

To say we are having a blast and are entertained by our very own Mr. Dimples is an under-statement! Here is Taji and his many talents:

He sucks on his toes!

He does the raspberry and spits all over himself (and us!)

He fakes cough and clears his throat to get our attention....

Can sit all on his own (with pillows around him in case he falls to the side) for a good 20-30 seconds!
And loves playing with the new musical toy daddy bought him yesterday!

He is also ticklish under his chin and neck!

MAJOR UPDATE: Taj is beginning to say "da" (Brad couldn't be happier!) and this week we noticed a teeny tiny white sharp thing beginning to protrude from his lower gumline..... Taji's first tooth! You better believe it! He is drooling like crazy... and keeping us up at night. Trying baby orajel to numb the pain, hope it works! (Photo of first tooth coming soon......)
