Tucker@11

Tucker is SO COMPETITIVE! This makes him awesome to watch in a soccer or handball game, because he is everywhere and stealing the ball, or in a cross country race he is passing people one at a time to make sure he is top 10, or top 5. He is all over the place, and is such a hustler, and loves TO WIN! (This doesn't always apply to football yet.) This competitiveness is hard to watch at birthday parties or in a group kickball game when everyone isn't taking it as seriously as him, or he doesn't think the rules are followed. He got so upset at his birthday party when someone else made the biggest splash off the diving board by doing something other than a cannonball, that he left his own party for awhile.  When Tucker is not playing sports, he has a very gentle heart and is mild mannered. However he recently got to go to Young Men's camp as Dave's kitchen help (Dave was the camp cook.) Tucker got to act like a regular camper and had the TIME OF HIS LIFE! He was Mr. Popular and made his rounds to every ward at night, high fiving everyone. Hank said "the kid won't stop talking!" Tucker keeps a pretty messy room. He loves Ramen. He saved up $300 to buy a Virtual Reality headset by doing lots of different jobs. Tucker loves to hang with Chad, always, and also Griffin, Robert, Gage. Tucker was a BEAST at his 4th grade handball tournament! His team won and he probably deserved MVP if they awarded it.  He ran Southside Cross Country this last year and did amazing. He is playing football. He is going to try out for Southside Basketball, and he still wrestles in the winter. He talks really quietly and mumbles at home a lot. He got good grades this year. His teacher said he can do really well when he focuses. He still sucks his thumb but it has become so rare, I think this is the end of that. He loves to fish anytime, anywhere, and spend time in the woods. Tucker helps Grandpa at the Scipio house with different jobs like stoning the fireplace or doing railing, and Grandpa says he is a really hard worker. Tucker is actually growing some this year! He has an 8 pack of abs. He looks just like Dave's pics at this age. Twins. We love our mighty, little Tuck!
