I just never seem to have time to sit down and write/post pictures. So I am often really far behind on my blogging but I do keep up with everyone else. So lets see...what's been going on with us??? Grady is almost done with his first year of preschool. The girls are all over the place. Catie is finally walking (at 16 months) My parents were here so we went to Disneyland & Sea World. I went to master Nationals in May and placed 6th in the 100 back. We are looking forward to some down time and possible doing some traveling this year. I have been swimming 6 days a week along with a dryland (a workout such as squats, crunches, etc. for you non swimmers) program. I started doing hot yoga once a week. I am back down to my pre-baby size!! And Lea, Robert & Jaxon moved back to CO last week.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_xWcFKxF-mle1qjZPASoR3yPaKdWP1_aDPtfliqnAlqaTfz__WPu-roKnzTHUSEEXX1sHQp0gTxpFgKjZARY_mA3_afTEpk2OD47iWAgETt54Xv8FfY-GUEqf2IHUPa4d1q3glYIm1Ns/s1600-h/P5120350.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

But they are much younger then he was. It's amazing that at 18 & 15 months they can swim and float. It is worth every penny I have spent on swim lessons to know that they could save themselves if they feel in a pool (even fully clothed)!!! So here is Abigail swimming</p><p><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyTuDGnOVudCBMDpIgQiMT_d46S_aNwbsiehYV7kZKRPKo69Fgsg_yBQDs3xyLPBDQ9NQXC1KRLfDp9hpYVqA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p>The Maples Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02443964321682837774noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976994496885311836.post-49319281189494670812009-06-09T17:00:00.000-07:002009-06-09T17:40:41.081-07:00Catie Swimming<p>Here is Catie swimming...</p><p><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwD6e44KCY8o2mpl4sPVivxV33q1LxJfZHZz79hgnsWArcwXBDF5erML2e5nwVMF1szfT4nnJ9WXlJBEhcK4A' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p>The Maples Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02443964321682837774noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976994496885311836.post-65849417894607444152009-02-05T17:26:00.000-08:002009-02-05T17:41:30.068-08:00Better late then never!So I am not so good at blogging. I never seem to have enough time to sit down and type. But I guess late is better then never. So lets see...December was filled with the holidays. My mom, dad and two brothers came down for 2 weeks. So our house was full, 8 adults and 4 little kids. We had a great time. We did some shopping, hit Disneyland a few times, played with the kids and had a good Christmas.<br />Jan we celebrated Catie & <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Jaxon's</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">first</span> birthdays! The rest of the month was filled with trying to find a new house. Since we can't get a jumbo loan to buy the house we want, we bought another rental property and are renting a bigger house! So this will be the 9<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">th</span> move for me in 9 years, Crazy. The good thing is we don't have to be out of our current house til the end of the month. And we have the keys for the new place already. So we have some time to move but still a pain with 3/4 little kids. But we are really <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">excited</span> cause the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">neighborhood</span> is so great. Grady has 3 friends from preschool who live on the street. So we are looking forward to a family friendly neighborhood which we have never had. Also this month...I will be <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">competing</span> in my first swim meet in about 5 yrs. It should be fun, a bunch of friends are going to the meet too. And at the end of the month we will all be heading to Oregon! So a busy month is ahead of us. I hope everyone is doing well! I will post pictures soon from the holidays and everything else!The Maples Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02443964321682837774noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976994496885311836.post-41986683181732383572008-11-17T20:59:00.000-08:002008-11-17T21:06:26.126-08:00Life in the pool!So I am back in the pool 6 days a week. It has been great and I am loving it. On average we have been swimming 4500-5000 yards in 1 hour and 15 mins. I recently moved up to lane 2 (1:20 base)...which means I am only 1 lane away from the fastest lane. Which is where I would like to be. A few of us are looking at going to Master Nationals. Should be lots of fun. And the best part of it all is getting back in shape, doing something I love. So far I have lost 20 lbs and 13 inches.The Maples Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02443964321682837774noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976994496885311836.post-24086907642212019042008-10-17T16:09:00.000-07:002008-10-17T16:16:49.195-07:00First I must say sorry I have been MIA...it's been busy with the 3 kids...plus Jaxon (& Lea). The last few months have been filled with a new preschool, dr visits, a vacation to Mike's family's lake house, Sea World, the beach, the end of PeeWee sports, Abigail walking and Jaxon and Catie crawling and I have been back in the pool 6 days a week. And to add to all that, we are getting over a nasty cold now. <br />Anyhow I created a slide with photos to fill you in on what we have been doing. I am sure I will have more to post soon...As the next few weeks are going to be filled with my parents coming for 3 weeks, preschools Harvest Festival, our Disneyland trip, the Pumpkin patch, Halloween, and much more. Hope everyone is doing well!<br /><div><embed src="http://widget-9a.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=72057594050207386&site=widget-9a.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=72057594050207386&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-9a.slide.com/p1/72057594050207386/bb_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=72057594050207386&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-9a.slide.com/p2/72057594050207386/bb_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=72057594050207386&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-9a.slide.com/p4/72057594050207386/bb_t024_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>The Maples Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02443964321682837774noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976994496885311836.post-86398753042819513082008-06-26T20:00:00.000-07:002008-06-26T21:48:00.541-07:00The past month in one postOk so sorry for the long post... It's been crazy busy at the Maples house. At the end of May my mom came to visit for 3 weeks. While she was here we spent the day at the beach with her good friend Susie (& family), went to Sea World, Tom's Farm, a few birthday party's, swimming,PeeWee Sports (3 weeks of basketball, t-ball & soccer) and much more. Also during this time my sister Lea and her son Jaxon moved down here to stay with us til Robert moves down and they find a place. So to say the least my house is a bit crazy with 3 babies (Abigail 8 months, Catie & Jaxon are 5 months) So it's kind of like having triplets. And a 3 year old who could drive anyone crazy. So here are the pictures from this past month. <div><embed src="http://widget-af.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=72057594050025647&site=widget-af.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=72057594050025647&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-af.slide.com/p1/72057594050025647/bb_t011_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=72057594050025647&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-af.slide.com/p2/72057594050025647/bb_t011_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=72057594050025647&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-af.slide.com/p4/72057594050025647/bb_t011_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>The Maples Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02443964321682837774noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976994496885311836.post-24764017577567372792008-06-25T20:08:00.000-07:002008-06-26T07:54:03.730-07:00Trying to CrawlAbigail is now on a mission to crawl...I on the other hand wishes she stay still.

We had a great time but Grady had a better time. He was so funny last night. I don't think I have ever seen him so wild. He was asking the other little girls to dance with him. It was so cute. He would get mad when the girls stopped dancing and he had a huge melt down when it was time to leave. But here is a clip of him dancing.<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwE_9sg29snaijyxgVwejU1TkBXgrVR9A4fywjce1s7J605Gos13ybd9tBlROOZc6GY3PRZAbpo2i9OIggQrw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>The Maples Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02443964321682837774noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976994496885311836.post-29565717695145569202008-05-07T21:29:00.000-07:002008-05-07T21:43:35.895-07:00NO DAVID!I bought Grady the book No David!

Now it wasn't perfect but I was amazed at how much he has memorized is such a short period of time, and he let me Video tape it.

And I am afraid he won't do it long enough to get it on video. It's so funny I had to tape it. He is doing so good! This program is pretty amazing. The girls will be doing it next year!!<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxzWh8YdMjliAFt-4jMRt3q38dLSLhlEO0zg9Ueohu9DnZibK_27lKwCH_637j-VzHPtmvSZ5WtgrHn8fm_rw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>The Maples Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02443964321682837774noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976994496885311836.post-60828531416171675562008-04-23T07:38:00.000-07:002008-05-03T17:36:37.675-07:00End of Week 3 **EDITED**<p>*I realized the same video was posted from week two so this is a new video from Week 3*</p><p>So Grady is doing so well! He is no longer whining while he floats. He is even kicking his arms and moving his arms. He told me the other day he wants to be on swim team like mommy. Week 4 will start next week cause the teacher is going out of town. Which works out well cause Grady has bronchitis. So we are all recovering from a few nights of no sleep. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!</p><p></p><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzFd1T2bTmBLruUYwaSWsHqJPB2okqHK-ZjLDfykocVi7sH3O_z24hJwym_cH0Mu3xPBl6Jmf-PmVRg1IyzBg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>The Maples Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02443964321682837774noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2976994496885311836.post-64067658087298024072008-04-12T18:39:00.000-07:002008-04-12T18:43:51.682-07:00End of week 2<p>So we are at the end of week 2 of swim lessons.

They are not your typical swim lessons at the public pool. These are really survival lessons. The program is called Infant Swimming <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Resources</span>. <a href="http://www.infantswim.com/">http://www.infantswim.com/</a> It's pretty amazing to see the progress of Grady and the other kids around him. His first lesson he cried the whole time. Second lesson cried about half the time. Third lesson just cried before getting in and now he is asking to go to swim lessons and doesn't want to get out when they are over.</p><p>I must admit they are pretty expensive for a 10 mins per day for 5-6 weeks. But no amount of money can save your child in an aquatic accident. "Swim lessons teach your kid how to swim but knowing how to swim a few feet in the water is not necessarily going to save your child in an emergency situation. Your child's ability to survive an aquatic accident depends on her ability to orient <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">themselves</span> in the water and get a breath & keep breathing until she can be rescued or get out of the water. Most drownings or near-drowning incidents occur when a child is fully clothed." (from the Parent Resource book) Therefor by the end of the lessons Grady will be swimming fully clothed in both summer and winter clothes (oh and shoes). </p><p>I found out about this program through a friend who had her son in the class at 15 months. I highly <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">recommend</span> it to everyone. I will post a new video every week so you can see his progress. (We can only video tape on Fridays) But check out the site to find an instructor near you.

We also celebrated Grady's 3rd birthday. I made a ham dinner with my favorite <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">cheesy</span> potatoes and green beans. Grady had a great time playing with his cousin Riley & Micah. We had a little Easter egg hunt. Grady opened presents, we had dinner and then mini cakes for the kids and cheese cake with strawberries for the adults. So here are a few pictures.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185036590338117794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjO8QQP0ABXmCPMAWo_pmrIVAr5yAB2lK3pZDjUoFylOHA_aujx9qZhJhuKZ3_vJARLJAQQGbtZurbBtCQZrTC5BlRuIe7Bbnp-67PX7G1AY8xDIWHjVd_dmA2wucWNRUbT6XC_sDYXH2Q/s200/20080329_121+smaller.JPG" border="0" /><br /><div align="center">Grady waiting to dye eggs</div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5185036594633085106" style="DISPLAY: block;

We went to 2 games while we were there in the lovely 90 degree weather. Sat. was a rough day, the kids were not so good and it was hot with no breeze. Sun was a much better day, the girls slept most of the game and Grady made a friend with the little boy sitting behind us. We also went swimming that night. Abigail loves the water. Mon was Grady's b-day so we had a few presents for him and then we went to this place called Castle & Coasters. They have games, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">miniature</span> golf and rides (which were closed) Tues we head home!
