Let's make this birthday one to remember.

31 years old (Born on November 16, 1993)

Happy Birthday, Dakota! May your day be filled with more flips and twists than a trampoline routine—just without the judges watching. Your silver medal at the 2011 Pan American Games proved you're not just earnest by name but also earnestly talented in mid-air gymnastics!

Here's hoping this year brings you even higher jumps, softer landings, and fewer awkward moments when people ask if trampolining is "really" a sport (it totally is!). Keep bouncing through life with style; after all these years of defying gravity gracefully, you've earned every slice of cake today. Cheers to another fantastic leap-filled adventure ahead!
