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!

Taji's first Turkey Day

So much fun was had, so many photos to share!

starting with our thanksgiving trimmings! Even though it was just the boys and I (Grandpa Grover, Daddy Grover, and Baby Grover) we still had a lot of food! Taj sat at the table with us, and had his very own place setting! He feasted on yams (which was one of the tasting winners so far) and breastmilk!







Look 'Ma..... no hands!!! Taj sitting straight without hand support, such a big boy!


A nice day for a leisurely cruise around Newport Bay, the older Taji gets the more he likes being on our duffy and looking at the water and the other boats :)



All in all, we had a much needed restful and relaxing long holiday weekend, ending the lounging with a nice nature walk and swinging at the park down the street from us. Taji and I had lots of mommy-son bonding time while Brad and his dad played chess and poker with the guys.
