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!

Deda Time!

Guess who flew in from the Czech Republic to meet Baby Jax for the first time, and spend time with Taj and Chloe?  DEDA (my dad)!!!  During his 2 week visit, we've had lots of great deda-time!  Everything from a Laguna beach day, Taj's haircut at the salon....


Chuck E' Cheese and a Red Robin dinner:

an early birthday lunch (my dad's 60th birthday is in June) at Zov's in Newport Coast:

such a cute pic of the boys with their babi & deda :)

We even hung out at Balboa Island with the kids, and played at "Dinosaur" Park (Laguna Hills) with my sister & Chloe after they got back from their Costa Rica trip!  Deda spent each and every day with each grandchild!  He even babysat both boys on a saturday morning!!! (He took them out on a walk with the double stroller and to the playground, and when I got home he said it was a piece of cake!  I was impressed!)  Deda spoiled Taj, Jax, and Chloe with so much attention, they already miss him so much.
