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!

Daddy Brad's Stockholm, Sweden Trip

Daddy Brad had a great time visiting our friends Griffin and Jane in Stockholm, Sweden.  They just moved there and are planning to live there the 2 years that Griffin is contracted with his pharmaceutical company.  They are also having twins!  A boy and a girl, due this February!  Doesn't get any more perfect than that! I cannot wait for their swedish meatballs to get here, and to visit them!  I think we may just have to plan a trip out to Sweden this late Spring!  I have not been to Sweden yet and would love to go and take the boys, and see our good friends while they live there and before their little twinsies get too big.  There's a lot to do there with the kiddos, and maybe we could even hop over to the Czech Republic (less than 2 hour flight) and see my parents! The brainstorming begins....

Anyway, here are some wonderful photos that Brad took while visiting Stockholm.  Sure looks like he enjoyed himself with all those yummy Swedish meals, beer, and sightseeing!
