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!

Our Littlest Grover

We are honored and thrilled to announce that another beautiful baby BOY is joining our family!!! Jax Franz Grover, to be exact! We wanted a strong masculine and cool first name to go along with Taj..... that's how the name Jax came to be (again compliments of the talented Brad!), and Franz is a dedication to my beloved late grandfather Frantisek. We excitedly found out a couple weeks ago, the 3 of us (Dada, me, and Taj) saw the littlest Grover boy on the big screen and he wasn't shy what so ever! Then earlier today, I had my "official" OB ultrasound through Kaiser, and scored some snapshots of our superstar, so I now I finally get to post the much anticipated announcement and photos!




Heeeeeeeeere's Jax everyone!
The ultrasound technician commented on how photogenic and excited he was to be seen! Check out the pic of him doing a flip :)






definitely a boy, there's no doubt about it! (look where the arrow is pointing to, that is Jax laying on his side, open legs to the side :)

We couldn't have asked for a more precious blessing, only 19 months a part, Taj and Jax will always have a friend within each other, have each other's back, and as a friend of mine pointed out, "be each other's Best Man at their weddings!" LOL Of course, we can't forget that Boys will be Boys, and they will also probably pick on each other and beat each other up! We really do have this "boy" thing down, this last year has proved to be the most fun we've ever had, and like we always say: "it just keeps getting better, especially now with 2 peas in a pod!" We are good at making boys! I cannot wait to get my hands on this new little guy, spoil him and sweeten him up to be a mama's boy like his big brother Taj! Dada can't wait to initiate Jax into the Boy Club, wrestle, and teach the brothers everything he knows about sports, cars, etc. And last but not least, Taj is super stoked to have a little brother to share his room and toys with, play games and sports with, and have a little partner-in-crime to get in all sorts of trouble with! I love refering to my family as "my boys and I." I feel like the luckiest woman to be surrounded by so many handsome little and big boys, and hopefully they will always adore me the way I adore them. I have a feeling our future will be filled with lots of action and excitement.



Here are a few more pics of Jax in my 19th week growing belly:
