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!

JUMP for Chloe!


Last weekend we celebrated Chloe's 7th birthday and originally planned to take the kids to Legoland but because of the rain, at the last minute, my sister organized a little party at Sky High Sports, a huge 360 degree facility of trampoline fun! It was the size of an ice rink except floor to wall trampolines! And it wasn't just another bouncy house kid place, no way, we saw probably more adults than kids and they have a dodgeball team and dodgeball games regularly! We all had so much fun jumping.... especially Taji!





After an afternoon of jumping for joy (in honor of Chloe!), we headed to Dave & Busters at the Irvine Spectrum for a birthday dinner with family and friends. Here is our 2nd photo as a family of 4, and look how big baby Jax is getting, he now has his eyes open for the portrait!
