July Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Wow what a month!! I have done so much fun stuff this month that I just have to so much to tell you!!

First, at the beginning of the month we had lots of my moms family in town for the 4th of July and we did lots of fun things like bowling, hiking, parades, fireworks and play play play!!

Then in the middle of the month we went to Yellowstone with some of daddys family. It was great! We got to go out fishing on a boat, sight see, hiking, all sorts of fun things!! I loved Yellowstone!

Then at the end of the month we went up to the cabin and had a great time. We spent a morning fishing and I caught 2 fish!! Yeah! It was awesome! We also did lots of beautiful 4-wheel trails and explored some great places, even some we hadn't been to before. It was a great weekend.

I have been having a super fun summer and playing a ton with my friends Peter, Joe and Alex. I am quite a social guy and love to play with friends. I love to play with my brothers too. They are fun!

I hope that you are all doing well. Hope to hear from you soon!

Love Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello there! How are you? I am doing great!

I have been enjoying summer and playing outside. I think that I am much older then three because I always ask mom if I can go to my friends houses to play and if mom doesn't keep a close eye on me, she finds me at my friends houses. :)

We finally made it up to the cabin this month now that enough of the snow has melted. That was super fun!

Eric turned 6 this month and I had a lot of fun at his birthday parties!! Horray for treats!!

And at the end of the month our Sintay cousins came to play for a few days on their way up to Washington and we spent time at the park, playing outside and BOWLING!!!

I hope that you are doing well and that you are happy. I hope to see you all soon!

Love Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

May Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello! How are you? I am doing great!

We have had a very cold and wet May so I got to play in the puddles a lot.

At the end of this month we took a trip to Colorado to visit Mommy's family. We also got to see Daddy's cousin, Jenny in her home in Conifer which was really fun. It was a beautiful place and we got to do lots of hiking and enjoying nature there.

We stayed at Grandpa's house and got to play with our cousins, Miriam, Marcus, Amelia & baby Vivian and Corin & Declan. It was so much fun playing with our cousins and the weather was beautiful the whole weekend.

It was a really nice trip because I got to see my Great-grandpa O'Berry, Grandpa O'Berry, Great-grandpa Barnhisel as well as lots of Aunts, Uncles and Cousins.

I hope that you are all doing well and that I can see even more family soon.

Love Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

April Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello Hello!! How are you? I am good although you will see from our pictures that we are very confused as to what season we are in ... spring OR winter?? We have had a little of spring this month but we have had a ton of rain as well as quite a few days of snow which is just crazy.

At the beginning of the month we went down to Moab. We did a lot of hiking in Arches National Park which was great! I love to hike!

Also this month was my birthday ... I am now THREE!!!


We had two Easter egg hunts this month and had pretty good weather for both. We had one at my cousin Kate's house with the Barnhisel cousins and we also had one at my house with my cousins on the Norberg / O'Berry side. I love hunting eggs. Did you know they are full of CANDY!!

Easter was nice. See how handsome I am. :)

And my "Best Pets" babies finally hatched. We get baby ducks in our backyard every year and this year we have 14 baby ducks. I love our duckies. There is a canal behind our house and that is where my duckies live. They are my "Beautiful Duckies."

Then today, the last day of the month we woke up to 3+ inches of snow on the ground and had to run in Brandon & Eric's school's Family Fun Run in the snow. It was fun. We ran the mile race and I finished it. I love to run!!

I hope that you are all having a good spring (if you are actually getting spring) and I hope to hear from you soon.

March Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello!! How are you? I am doing great! I had a super fun month and our family took a trip to California. It was so great! I LOVED the beach! I got to chase the birds all around the pier and down the beach! I could've stayed there, chasing the birds forever.

Then we went to Disneyland and spent three days there. We got to see Chip and Dale, Buzz Lightyear, Woody and the green army guys as well as Goofy and Pluto.

We got to ride on so many fun rides. I loved it all!!

We finally got some spring like weather this month so we set up the tramp and I spend a lot of time (when the weather is warm enough) outside jumping and swinging on the swings and playing in the sandbox. I love to be outside!

I hope that you have a good spring.

Love Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

February Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello there! How are you? We are doing good. I had a good February and am looking forward to March. In February we celebrated Valentine's Day and got lots of yummy treats!!

We also celebrated mom's 35th birthday.

I am learning so much. I am a puzzle master. I love to go big puzzles that are normally meant for 6 year olds. I won't let anyone help me and I don't need help because I can crank through them all on my own.

I love knowing my letters and spend a lot of my time singing the alphabet. I also love to list all the letters that I see on store buildings and such.

I love to build with Lego's, play with my Potato Head guys, play trains, read books and sing songs.

I hope that you are all doing well and that I get to hear from you soon.

Love Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

January Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello!! How are you? I am doing great. Although my mom has been really slacking on taking pictures. Dad got her a nice new camera for Christmas and now that Christmas is over we haven't been taking very many pictures.

We have been spending a lot of time outside sledding and playing in the snow. Salt Lake Valley in the winter is not fun when the air gets really yucky from the inversion so often times on the weekends we will head up into the mountains to see blue sky and breathe clean air. That makes for some fun adventures and makes the winter bearable.

I have been learning so much these days. I have learned to recognize all my letters and can tell you all their sounds. I can also count to 20 with only missing a number or two. I know most of my colors although I often times do get lazy and just guess green on everything. :) I love to color, to play toys, to build with Legos and to play on the computer. I have learned how to use the mouse and can navigate throughout computers games really well now.

I am very strong willed and there are certain things that I insist on doing all by myself. I am the one who sets the table for dinner every night and go crazy if anyone else tries to do it. I have learned how to dress myself and don't want any help (except with getting my shirt on). I love to battle bad guys and since my brothers are so into Toon Town I go around the house battling Cogs and Flunkies.

I miss my brothers when they are gone to school but like spending time with my mom. I like going to the gym playroom in the morning and hanging out with "my buddies". I also like doing my own "work ups" there at the gym.

I hope that you are all doing well. I love you and I miss you!

Love Kyle Patrick Barnhisel
