Happy Birthday to You!

Travis had a birthday yesterday. He turned 31 (whoa)! He has a couple really cute gray hairs starting to come in on the sides of his head. I point these out a lot to him. He isn't a fan of them but I personally can't wait till he has salt and pepper hair. I think it looks so good on men.
For example:


See what I mean...


Anyway, for Trav's birthday we went and had dinner at Gojo's Japanese steak house. It was pretty excellent food.


Then we went back to our crib and had a bunch of neighbors over for ice cream and cake.


Deep Down, I think that I wish I had a 4 year old, because I continue to make Trav cakes that would be for that age... I made a BYU football cake with the help of Brandi of course... she is my mentor!


I honestly thought I could put 31 candles on a cake, but after about 5 I suddenly realized (after burning myself and waxing the cake) that this was impossible and so he only had 5 lit candles.



I'm sure his wish will come true this year!



I know people always give Trav a hard time about his age, but personally I like it. He is older and wiser and mature... Love you Trav.

I cant believe you are SO close to having your baby. I am SO jealous!! Anyways, I couldnt agree with you more about loving a more mature older man!! Afterall, Wes will be 32 this year. But Wes better stop buzzing his head so that gray hair can grow in....it looks hot. (as you can tell from those HOT pics you posted...YUM!)

Happy birthday Trav! Byron will be 31 in May too. Smart women marry older men! good work mill! And Trav I just want you to know that I think your pretty little wife is suddenly quite a good chef. Her skills have once again amazed me. And she will be a really good mom, making all those cute cakes for them. Your kids might be fat, but they will enjoy it.

Hey Milli! This is Texie Criddle and I came across your cute blog! Congrats on the little one and you look way cute! I just have to say that your husband probably would have had a better birthday if you would have made him a University of Utah football cake instead of BYU :) Just kidding, anyways you look like you're doing good and good luck with the baby!

Happy Birthday, OLD MAN. Yeah, like I can talk...I had my 30th birthday in 2003...And I have to agree about the salt-n-pepper thing. JC has been sporting that look for a while now. Love the cake! See what a rockin' mama you are going to be!

Tracie said...

I miss my brother! I am so glad that Milli is the BEST WIFE EVER, so I know for he is well taken care of. (Heaven knows, he can't do it himself.) Anyways, props to you for that FAB CAKE, Milli. And props to you, Trav, for growing one and a half years older than me...forever.

my Rusty is 7.5 years younger then Travis and he has a lot of gray hairs, so tell him not to feel to bad. I like them too! And i love you cake. I had no idea of this talent.

Nate & Lindsey said...

I think gray hair is so sexy! Great job on the cake.

That's so fun that you and Kelsie both live in Missouri! You'll have to tell Bryanne and Kelsie hi for me when you all get together. So don't be mad but I'm gonna add you to to my blog so I can see all your cute pics!

A couple of items: I tried to stuff the ballots for "Gracie", the system wouldn't let me, I think the state of Florida needs to hire you to monitor their voting this year. I WANT Gracie, I think she does as well. Travie, you men have it made, gray is beautiful! Very fine cake, I believe in good luck types; the cake will put BYU over the edge! See ya in a couple
