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!

Mommy, Babi, & Boys Adventure in Prague, CZ

The boys and I flew solo again from Toronto to Prague (layover in Frankfurt), to meet up with our Babi for another summer of special Czech adventures. Instead of flying into Vienna like we typically do when we visit Babi and Deda's house in Brezova (the closest airport), we opted to fly into the capital of Czech Republic- Prague, so I could show the boys this awesome well-preserved medieval city! Babi joined us on our Prague adventures, and we were so lucky to have her keep up with us and be a part of our Prague memory!
Babi met us directly at the airport (after she took the train into the city), and took this picture of the boys right when we got to the airport, they were so kung-fu happy to see her!
checked in early to our retro vintage hotel right in the heart of the old town, and so close to the castle!  The boys settled right in after napping in the ride from the airport, and naturally had enought space to play with their legos.  We had a 2-room suite that allowed us to have plenty of space to relax in the living area (where the boys slept).

Strolling through Old Town, and enjoying Charles Bridge






The boys loved the medieval armor museum and the impressive showcase of weaponry

Golden Lane ... where the cottages were all miniature and perfect height for these guys

Beautiful Charming red- roof Prague








We covered so much ground in the 2 nights and 1 1/2 days that we ventured around Prague.  The boys had so much energy and enjoyed everything we did! Thanks Babi for joining us!
