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!

Jezisek and Santa 2017
It seems like every year, there is some "big special present" the boys receive from Mommy and Daddy. This year was no different when boys were gifted their first and highly anticipated video game console- X Box with Kinect. The boys could not get enough of the Jurassic World Lego game, of course! Game time is earned only after boys have read, done their chores, and played the piano, Games are also limited or not accessible during the school week, and only reserved for winter weekend indoor fun when we are home and its cold out. Its funny because now the game room downstairs is actually a "game" room! Its important to limit their game time and balance it with other activities so they don't become addicted! We don't want to create video game monsters!!
