 Dear Family & Friends, 

Hello everyone. This picture is of the beautiful colors where I live. If you are wondering, I was not feeling it that day and very begrudgingly going with my family.

My cousins came over for general conference and that was fun. Sadly, I had ate too much chocolate so I was depressed all day. 

I got asked to my first dance for high school. For some reason there is a lot of girls choice dances in Utah so yah. Why do I look so creepy in that picture. I need to work on my smile. ANYways, I'm going to fall ball and I think we are doing top golf as well.

General conference was fun and very cool. It was crazy that they announced 20 temples. Bye!

Love, Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

 Dear Family & Friends,

Hello people. Yah, really the only interesting thing that happened this month was that I went to Hawaii. Which I guess is pretty interesting. We went to the island of Oahu. We stayed in a cool Vrbo with a pickleball court. We went to the dole plantation a few times and it was a lot of fun. The dole whip there was amazing and we almost missed our flight home because we had to grab some on our way. The gardens were very cool and it has a very interesting history.

Of course, we went to the beach a lot. We had some beach stuff at the Vrbo including some boogieboards that didn't quite work but were still fun. I would say I liked Bear Lake more though because I hate salt water. It's very annoying and it tasted bad and hurts your eyes. Match that with the sun and your eyes are not very happy. But I did like the sun and the sand.

We went to the Pearl Harbor memorial thing. It was pretty cool but also sad. I'm glad that we could repair relations with Japan because they are cool.  

We went ziplining which was very fun but not the most scenic. It was fun to do lots of tricks on the zipline and it was well worth our limited time on Hawaii. I loved the pink helmets and that just made me feel that much safer.

We went up Waimea Valley twice. The first time we just hiked up to the cool waterfall and swam around a bit. It was also a great time for me and my brothers to get all the sand out of our swimsuits :).

The second time we did the buffet and show. We had some fun activities before and then the food was good and I really liked the show. The fire show was really cool and there was even a little kid that was in it. I wish I was that talented.

School started so yah. I'll opt out of all the usual grumbling and just say that it has started out pretty good. I started my sophomore year at the highschool and I haven't been broken down yet. 

Love, Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

July Letter

 Dear Family & Friends,

We had family pictures. My hair was to long, the shirt makes me look weird, and I couldn't find any shorts. Basically, the worst family pictures I've been in.

I went to BYU soccer camp this month. It was loads of fun. I played soccer really well and had lots of fun. I loved the food and defintly want to try and go back next year.

Me and Eric both got light sabers and took some pretty cool pictures in an unfinished house. The lightsabers are customizable and really quite cool.

Brandon returned home from his mission at 1am. I unfortunately had to make the late trip to the airport while I was sick, but I'm glad he's back. I just hope when I get back from my mission ill be taller than him.

We went to a rodeo. I didn't really get what was going on most of the time, but they did some cool tricks with motorbikes and that was sick. I got a few videos and it was so cool.

We went to bear lake and it was loads of fun. We did wake boarding and wave runners and swam. I saw some friends there and it was a lot of fun to go out on the lake. It was even a sunny day!

Brandon just got back and now Eric is going out. He got his mission call and he is going to indonesia indonesian speaking. He will start MTC on october 30. That sound really cool but i dont think I would like going to someplace like that.

That's July. Love, Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

June Letter

 Dear Family & Friends, 

Hello everyone. This month we went to a temple open house. I can't remember which one. It was really cool and beautiful.

Fathers day was this month as well. Church was fun and once again, we took a nap after. We ate some good food and I have a great dad. 

We decided to redo our driveway so we got to work. Doing cement is tough but also really satisfying. it was awesome to see the different parts start to get done.

We went to the grid, a go kart place. Eric was the best by far but it was really fun to zoom around. We did two races and I improved a lot. 

Eric decided that it was his birthday so we did that. He is 18 now and planning on going on a mission. 

Thats june. Love, Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

May Letter

 Dear Family & Friends, 

Hello everyone. This month was pretty fun. This was my last week of school and I got a Kiwanis Club award. That was cool and stuff.

School ended and summer started. Summer started out pretty fun and I'm just hanging out with my friends a lot. We play a lot of pickleball. Summer is pretty great.

This month was also mothers day. I'm so glad to have my mom. Church was nice then we all took a nap.

Eric graduated from high school. I will in 3 short years. We went to UVU and had a real graduation, unlike Brandon's, where we had it in a parking lot.

We went on a trip to my great grandpas memorial. It was pretty cool to see the military do their thing. We turned the trip into a Yellowstone, grandpa and cousins trip. We went to Yellowstone for a day and that was fun. We saw a lot of cool things. We then visited our grandpa and then went to our cousins in Montana.

That was may. Love Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

April Letter

 Dear Family & Friends, 

Hello everyone. This month, we tore out the kitchen tile. We replaced it with some really cool wood. The wood matches so well and looks so good. Our house looks really nice now. It was a lot of fun to tear out the tile.

We decided to go back to our old neighborhood and visit some of the places. It was fun and we visited Rafa. We went to Gardener Village and no one was there, which I love. 

I had my 15th birthday and we had a little party with the Bastidas. We ate some cake and ice cream and it was a lot of fun. 

I had a game on my birthday and we won. I got my first assist and it was awesome. After we had donuts and it was a lot of fun.

School is almost out. I can't wait. Bye!

Love, Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

March Letter

 Dear Family & Friends, 

Hello everyone! March was a fun month. We started it off with Sam's birthday. He turned 6 years old. Sam got a lot of Pokémon. He also got a sandbox digger. We had some ice cream and it was a lot of fun. 

My high school soccer season continues. We won a lot of our games and tied a lot more. We probably have about 6 ties now. I have a lot of fun with my team and I can't wait for the next few seasons. 

Dad officially left PacifiCorp. After many, many years, dad just decided to quit. We threw him a little party and gave him a lot of food. I'm happy to have my dad around more now. He is doing lots of trips now and looking for some more fun jobs.

We have started doing a lot of home improvement projects. Our house is pretty cool now. Bye!

Love, Kyle Patrick Barnhisel
