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!

Babi is Back!

We are thrilled to have our Babi back in California :) Perfect timing as well! She arrived just in time to meet Jax as a newborn, and see Taj as a 20 month old in all his glory. Both boys just absolutely love spending time with her and I think everyone is getting spoiled by her delicious Czech cooking and all the help she is providing my sister and I. She is staying with my sister this time around, but we have been so fortunate to see her on a weekly basis (and that's a double bonus for Taji because he gets to see Babi AND Chloe, Teta, and Uncle B!) So far, we have taken her out and about in CDM, to the beach, and Fashion Island. The boys and I can't wait to show her our beloved farm and make many more fun memories visiting our favorite spots with her and just spending good ole' fashion grandma-grandkids time! Here are some photos:
