May Memories

May was a busy month with Mesh traveling to 4 different conferences, school activities, birthdays and finally some good weather here in the Pacific NW!

Riley and Ben were in the Wizard of Oz at school. Ben played the mayor of Munchkin land and the lead flying monkey. Riley was the Munchkin land medical examiner and a guard. :)

Happy birthday Ramesh!

Century Rides

Training for IronMan Lake Placid is in full swing! This month I did my first two bike races-both were century rides a couple weeks apart.  They were a fun challenge!  

My first 100 mile ride was the day before Mother's Day - the Skagit Spring Classic.

My second century ride was the "7 Hills of Kirkland" on Memorial day. It turns out it was named after the 40 mile course and the 100 mile course had a lot more hills.  My legs were feeling it!  Mesh didn't train at all but jumped right in and did the 40 mile course. Go team Iyer!

Ben's Golden Birthday!

Ben celebrated his golden birthday-turning 7 on the 7th! He had his birthday at Rough House Sports which included a black light ninja obstacle course, dodge ball and a nerf gun battle.  Then on his actual birthday we went to the Mariners Game.  Happy birthday to our sweet, hilarious, bold, athletic, smart Benny Boy!
