Our Water World Adventure!

This last week my family and I went to Water World in Concord CA, we had such a great time. When we woke up it was so cold and over cast out, we almost didn't go. I'm so happy we decided to go, not only was it semi warm, there was barely anyone there, we had it all basically all to ourselves.

Mayleena was so brave, I could tell how nervous she was to go on a water slide but she bravely stepped up to the slide and made her way down them, there's nothing like seeing your child over come a fear, she was so proud of herself. She loved the wave pool, Uncle Chris Carried her around like a little princess, she was so happy to have her Uncle by her side.

Kayleen loves the Big slides, she started off by going down the biggest slide with three of us, it fits four people at a time. To be honest I don't think we expected it to be that fast, as I held onto her hand I could see the look on her face and she looked shocked. By the time we got to the bottom she was laughing! She spent the day running up stair case after stair case to go down as many slides as she could, and ended at the wave pool with Steven, Kayla, and Collin.

Bodhi was watched after by everyone that day, it was so nice to have everyone help me with him so Dan and I could go on slide together as a couple. We were like two kids going down those slides, laughing, and enjoying the fun. Bodhi stayed away from the water for the first half of the day, he always does things when he's ready, once he was ready he got down and walked right into the kitty pool area, he went in and out and got all the way up to his waste, he so enjoyed it.

Yup I'd say it was a great day, Dan and I had a blast, our kids had a blast, and everyone we were with that day had an equally good time, we must go back.

Love you all, Siri Shakti

Our Family Update!

I started this blog when Bodhi was 5 1/2 months old and then decided not to do it, I don't have any clue why but I've changed my mind. So here I am!

Kayleen is almost 9, Mayleena is almost 6 (next month), and Bodhi is now 17 months old, what a big boy. So let's see, what are we up to now? Our Unschooling adventure continues, every day my three children and I embark on a learning adventure, we explore so many new things each day that I can't keep track of them all, they are soaking up knowledge every day and I'm loving seeing how each one of my kids learn so differently.

Yesterday we spent the day sewing dolls, the girls cut out all the pieces and I sewed them together, we had to take a break when Bodhi woke up from his nap because he tried running off with all the pieces. We also had a "Clean House Day," the kids all chipped in, Kayleen took it upon herself to wash all the kitchen and bathroom floors, and Mayleena took a wet cloth and wiped down any spots on the walls, I didn't even have to ask!

This summer we've been swimming Diva's, swimming all the time. Kayleens swimming is even stronger now and Mayleena just learned how to swim all on her own, she's so proud of herself. Bodhi loves the water, he splashes, blows bubbles, kicks, and likes to soak in the hot tub, oh and he hates water wings and tubes. I guess he'd much rather be in our arms.

Now about my husband... I'm so proud of him, he began Gooroo Media Marketing a few months back and it's going so well. He is confidently moving forward every day, taking one step at a time in building this business and he's so good at what he does. My intuition tells me that he's found exactly what he's supposed to be doing for a career. I know this is just the beginning of a great chapter in our lives together.

And about me... I'm so happy, I love my family, and I love the path our lives are taking. I've been hard at work with my two blogs, just started building my book on LULU and will be publishing it very soon, and in the Fall I will be teaching a class at Cross Winds Church helping young women to over come eating disorders.

Thank goodness my brother Steven has been hanging out with us a lot, he's inspired me to start working out again, he's in such good shape and it's lit a fire under my butt to work out!

So my dear friends and family this is what we've been up to, I will keep you up to date each month and let you know what we are doing, I will post new pictures too.

Love you all, Siri Shakti
