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!

Meet our soon-to-be second Cuddlebug!

Our little teddy bear we met just a few weeks ago has grown into a sweet little baby, and looking like one too! Taji's soon-to-be sibling and our soon-to-be second Cuddlebug turned 12 weeks old this week (in utero) and we captured his/ her first movie debut! (Listen carefully to the very end of the video where you hear the heartbeat!) Its so amazing to watch and listen to this little being with Taj right beside us, babies are truly the miracle of life :)

And here is mama's belly carrying Baby Grover #2 at 12 weeks:


(newsflash! Mama Jana has already gained 14 lbs. in the first trimester! Pretty nuts if you ask me, but this also happened when I was preggo with Taji). Let's hope I'm able to bounce back as quickly as I did the first time around!

And just think, around this time next month Baby Grover #2 will reveal itself to us even more, in time for our birthdays! We can't wait to find out, but most importantly, we can't wait for the day when we will hold our second little Cuddlebug in our arms!
