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!

The First Winter Blast of the Season

Happy SNOWvember!!!  

Look what we woke up to last week??




We got a little 2-day white wintery blast, and took advantage of snow play!
Who knew sand toys were great to play in the snow with!!!






visiting our neighbor's chicken coop!





It was a nice change to bring out our snow gear, snow boots, hats, and mittens!  We played in the snow, and enjoyed the fluffy white winter-land!  By the end of the week, it all melted and the green grass and bare trees were once again visible.  It was a little preview (and warning) that Winter is definitely on its way now!!  Will we have a white Thanksgiving?  Well, if we do, we won't be surprised since we had a white Easter earlier this year!

Last Friday's beautiful sunset!
