Tanner

Homecoming was September 17th year. Tanner wanted to ask Natalie Leavitt. She had asked him to Sadies last year and was his first date. So, he decided to  buy a dozen roses and on the first day he gave her a card that said:  "When thinking of homecoming, your name 'a rose'.  Will you go to homecoming with..."  He then took the note and a rose and left it on her car.

The next day, he wrote a note with something to the effect of you'll get a letter a day after 6 days unscramble the letters and give me your answer.  He left a letter of his name and a rose somewhere at her house everyday.

Unfortunatly, the roses started dying and Natalie was getting anxious and he was getting tired of remembering everyday, so on Labor day, he got a balloon bouquet and the rest of the roses and letters of his name and said he needed to hurry things up.

The next day, he got a container of real fish in his car with this note.  Of course, it took us awhile to figure out that the fishies swim in the sea and si is spanish for YES!

In the meantime, it was spirit week at school and him and Amanda stuck to their tradition of being twins for twin day and made these super twin outfits.

and wore them to school together.

He also dressed  clownish one day.  The theme for the week was circus and it was kinda lame, so he only dressed up those two times.

He also got together with his History partners and made this poster using my cricut and papers.  He had to convince his teacher to move to his colony.

The day before homecoming, he asked Talon to cut his hair.  Talon did it a little short, but it turned out o.k.

The day of the big date, here he is.  We bought him a tux online for $80.00.  It came with a jacket and pants.  We bought a tux shirt and a cumberbund and tie set.  We figure he's got three more formal dances in his high school career and so we spent about what we'd spend on one rental of a tux. 

They met as a group and met for pictures, then they headed to the Stratosphere to ride all three of those psycho looking rides.  Then they went to Claim Jumpers for dinner.

Afterwards, they broke off and Tanner and Bryant took Natalie and Heidi to the church.  Tanner had made a CD of music because he and Natalie love to waltz.  So he had his own little dance instead of paying $80.00 for a ticket to the dance.  They had the whole floor and waltzed all over.  They loved it.  Then they took the girls to the park and had brownie sundaes and star gazed.  They had such a fun night.  It was fun for me to as Natalie is in YW with me and I got to hear all about it from her point of view and she said it was the most amazing night of her life!!
