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!

Taj's Lunchtime Variety Show

Did you know? Taj is quite the comedian and now even hosts his own "baby monitor" variety show! Yep, every day right after he wakes from his lunch time nap, he likes to chit chat, crack jokes, laugh at his own jokes, sing songs, and practice all the things he learned to say that day. I, his mommy and his #1 fan, and of course, the audience, listen in on this show with my ear glued to the monitor. Yesterday, I decided to video the show... actually just the monitor (in case one day Taj does have his own radio show or something, then I can remind him how he got started! LOL)

On yesterday's episode, Taj begins with some monkey noises, then the Old Macdonald "eyayeeyayow" song, a discussion about the park, more animal noises (cat meows), more singing, then he cracks some jokes only he really understands but sure thinks are funny, then a discussion about his pacifier and daddy, pretending to sneeze "ah choo", more jokes, then "all done" and "call" puppy, and some smooching of the puppy..... ( i think puppy may actually be his sidekick on the show because he refers to him a lot!). Its a 6 minute segment, and I decided to start filming directly after he practiced counting and ABC's... that's what gave me the idea to run and grab the camera and document this adorable thing :)

So grab your popcorn, turn up the volume on the computer, and enjoy the show!
