Happy Birthday, Jacob!
Jacob turned 3 on Sept. 6. We celebrated on Saturday with a pool party. Disclaimer: there aren't very many good pictures for a couple of reasons: 1) water + wind = not very photogenic party guests; 2) Jacob is a three-year-old, which means cake, presents, swimming, and pretty much anything else going on is more interesting than looking at the camera and smiling. So, this is the best we could do.
We went to the Murray City Pool because we knew they allowed little kids to go on the slide. This is a big priority for a three-year-old's birthday party.
Here's Bryon taking Jacob up the slide.

Jacob went down the slide with pretty much every relative who was there, and loved it.
Most of the guests (the Poulter family) trying to stay out of the wind. (Thanks for the pic, Trenda!)
Several weeks before his birthday, Jacob requested a Peter Pan cake with absolutely no prompting from me. (Where did he get that idea?) Thankfully, Grandma Carol came through with the figurines, so all I had to do was throw on some blue frosting and brown sugar "sand."
A different angle. Jacob was delighted with it.
Here he is, sharing some of his cake with Tinker Bell. I'm sure she would have said "Thank you," if her head hadn't been buried in it.
Here he is opening presents. He got a Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head, some building blocks, race cars, Toy Story shoes, several Toy Story characters and a book from his cousins, Cade and Ambree, the Peter Pan set and a swimming suit from Grandma and Grandpa Poulter, fireworks from Uncle Andrew (hey, thanks, Andrew!), and Toy Story fruit snacks, a shirt, a book and a Thomas book from Aunt Bethany, all of which he loved.
After presents he played with Ambree on the playground, then we went back to swimming for awhile. He loved his birthday, and it's so fun to have a three year old now!

Cute! The cake came out great! It's Lizzy's 3rd birthday next month... I'm excited!
Happy Birthday Jacob! Swimming is a definite fun party for a 3 year old, especially with a slide! I can't believe he's that old! Also, so sad I missed you at Peach days! Good job on the marathon, I just got back from my first time running in like 3 months and only like 2x before that since oh I don't know, october/november of last year! Crazy. I do miss it. I did pretty well, I've been doing Jillian Micheales "30 day shred" so I think my endurance was higher than if I hadn't been doing anything. I went 40 minutes, and didn't feel burned out, we'll see how I feel tomorrow. Anyhow, We need to get together now that I'm down here!
Hello Poulter family...it's Carolynn Redd, I lived at Canyon Terrace with you, I was reading Cami Jeppsens blog and my two year old started helping me with my mouse...but lo and behold it came to you blog. What a fun surprise...anyway, hope your doing well, I'll be glad to see little updates about your family!
Wow! You have a three year old. That is kinda crazy. I love the cake. Very creative. I am impressed. :) Congrats on your marathons. I am proud of you. If I even a little bit liked running I would think of doing one but...no...never gonna happen. :) love you
