HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOONER

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOONER

Tanner turns 14 today and what a year it has been. School, sports, family, friends and critters, it has been a big year for Tanner. Last summer it was wrestling camp, baseball, 1 time to the lake (boats fixed now, so should be a few more times this year) paint balling and growing. The fall took us into school, football season and hunting season. Tanner was part of the JH Knowledge bowl team, a wide receiver/running back/corner on the football team and shot a couple of pheasant and a nice doe. Winter brings us to wrestling, where Tanner wrestled very well at 103 and 112. he had several wins at 103, but a very memorable wrestling match at 112 during sectionals against a sophomore from Sibley East, where Tanner was out sized, but not out wrestled. The amount of heart and determination Tanner showed had the whole gym screaming and after the upset win, had opposing coaches shaking his hand. Then there was the addition to the family for 6 months when Rodolfo Gonzalez came from Paraguay as part of a exchange program. The Holidays were a blast and Tanner received his new snowmobile helmet, which got plenty of use and a Sooner jersey which he has wore at least once a week since. Spring had gotten Tanner back outside on the baseball diamond and he also was elected class president for next years freshman class. During the spring awards night, Tanner received his 2nd varsity letter in wrestling and also lettered in baseball. For his birthday, Tanner asked for and received a new puppy, which he has named Pete. One can only imagine what Tanner and he new pal Pete will get into this year, but you can bet Tamara will capture some of it on the blog for you.
