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!

January Snow, and more Snow




In the mornings, when i have to take the boys to school it was a serious kind of cold!

We counter balanced the cold with toasty family nights roasting marshmallows over our fire in our very own living room.  Another summer time favorite the boys enjoy, and we spoiled them with it on a few evenings after dinner!

One of the days in January, Jax woke up with a strange rash but no fever and he didn't even feel sick.  The rash spread throughout his back, chest, arms and legs, but not face.  Then within 12 hours and disappeared!
On the days the sun comes out and makes the snow sparkle, we head outside to play and get our Vitamin D.

Who says a play ground and swings is just for the warm months?  We use ours all season long, all 4-seasons!!  Its especially fun for the boys when they get to slide down into a pile of leaves or a pile of fluffy snow!
