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!

Sleigh-Ride Sunday!

 Dashing through the snow....
 in a 2-horse open sleigh...
 over the hills we go, laughing all the way!!! 
 After a wonderful breakfast out at Chatterbox, and the boys' naps, we relished the pretty sunshine and blue skies and drove over to Chautauqua Institution for a horse drawn sleigh ride!  Here is what we saw on our sleigh ride:





We weren't sure if we were going to make it on the sleigh ride because the day before Taj woke up from his Saturday nap with a fever.  
 He rested and snuggled with daddy, took medicine, 
got his appetite back, and luckily we were able to enjoy the rest of the beautiful weekend.
After our sleigh ride, Daddy took Taji out on a walk ON the lake.  The frozen lake.... but look at how trippy that is.  My boys are walking on [frozen] water, yikes!

And we captured some pretty fun sledding! 1st video is off just Taji, 2nd video is of both boys, and the 3rd video is Jax by himself!!
