May Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello.  This month we celebrated Mother's Day and I had such fun with my mom and my brothers and my dad.  We had a big breakfast for mom.  And in church we sang Mother's Day songs in sacrament meeting.

My season of football ended this month.  I had my best friend Alek on my team.  I had a great time!! I liked my coach and what he taught me.  I got two picks, one was a pick 6!  I want to play flag football again next season.  I had a great season, we had an ultimate flag puller, my friend Max!

Over Memorial weekend we went to Antelope Island.  We were going to go to the cabin but it was too cold and rainy so we decided to go to Antelope Island.  We got to see this really big beach and we got to see buffalos.  And antelope, of course.  I had a really fun time.  Me and Eric climbed together on a mountain.  We were as high as the clouds!!  And we got to see the Great Salt Lake.  There were millions of salt in that.

After we went to Antelope Island we went to the Aerospace Museum.  We got to see planes outside and there was an inside.  It was really big!  We found this cool rocket on the other side of the street.  One of the things I liked was the Jolley Roger.  We also saw some helicopters.  They looked really cool.  

Last week I got a strep throat.  I got a little infection in the back of my neck where I couldn't move my neck.  I had to stay in the hospital to get rid of the infection.  I got my blood drawn two times.  They had to check how much times I peed because they had to see that I was drinking enough water to make sure I wasn't getting dehydrated.  And I got a bed that can move up and down.  It can move my head back and up and it can move my legs up and down.  And I got a table that can move around.  And there was a cafeteria that would make food and bring it up to me.  My mom stayed with me.  And my grandma and dad came to see me.  I had to get a needle stuck into me so they could put the medicine into me.  I got home a day early because the medicine was working and everything was working.  I got to get a few prizes, the game Sorry, the three Ninja Pigs book and I got a word search book.  They had tons of movies that we could pick from.  And they played the movies on an Xbox.  I watched Shrek the Third since we don't have that one.  I am feeling good now.  I think the medicine is working.  The medicine is antibiotics.  On Monday I am going back to school and I am glad to have fresh air and not hospital air.  I am glad to get to see all my friends and family.  I am glad that I am feeling better.  I am having a really good time playing with my friends and playing games.  

I hope you don't get any strep throat or an infection.  Goodbye.

Love Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

April Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello!  I am on a flag football team.  My teammates are Max, Alek, Camden, Colden, Holden, Peyton, Tryzden, Dallin, Garrett and Aiden.  Our first game we won by a lot.  I like flag football.  I've got a great team and it's really fun!  And I have a team that listens really good.

We had a Easter egg hunt at my house.  The littler kids got their own kind of eggs.  Some of the big kids got to hide the eggs.  I really loved it.  I had all my cousins be there.  We got to all have bubbles.  I liked playing with them.

I got my purple belt.  I used to be a green belt.  I am taking a break from karate right now.  I kind of felt bad from taking a break but now I am pretty good now with only football.

I had my birthday in April!!  I invited Alek, Alex, Peter, Kyson, Kohen, Andy and Tanner to my party.  We had a ultimate dodge ball game on the tramp at my party.  We had a fire and we roasted marshmallows and had smores.  And we roasted hot dogs.  And we had a weenie roast.

 I got a kindle from my mom & dad!  I got to play on it.  I've got My Singing Monsters on it and Planets vs. Zombies and Dragons: Rise of Berk and lots of other fun games.  We played a little bit of soccer which I got five new soccer balls.  My friends really know I like soccer!!!  That's why I got 5 soccer balls.

I am really having fun with my friends Alek, Tanner, Kohen and Kyson at school.  We usually play soccer.  They are really good at it.  My favorite subject in school is math.  I like playing with my brothers and also my friends that are not in my school class.  I have so much fun with them.

March Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello!  I went to a Friendship Tournament and West Coast World Martial Arts.  I won a good job medal in traditional forms and I got Gold medal in board breaking.  Me and someone in my class tied for gold.  Her name is Claire.  Karate is a fun sport to learn how to defend yourself.

I love St Patrick's Day.  This month we went to a St Patrick's Day parade and we got to be in the parade.  We threw out suckers to the crowd.  We got to see the mascot for the ReAL soccer team. And sometimes he would do backflips off the car.  It was so fun being in the parade.

I love Aunt Melissa!  She always throws good Easter parties for me.  She always gives us pattern eggs that we get to find and then we just get to find plain eggs and this month we got to find our own stuffed animal bunny.  I picked purple.  My pattern egg was race cars.  I had so much fun!  We ate dinner there and we got to play with our cousins.  And she always gives us sticky eggs!  

I love Aunt Amy!  This month we got to paint eggs at Aunt Amy's house and play sports there.  Me and Ledger love to play with each other.  We played soccer, we played baseball and Amy also has that game where you throw the balls on a string and try to get them to wrap around the poles.  And we also got to color our eggs and take some home.  I colored one that had tons of stripes on it.  It was so fun!

For Spring Break we went to Capitol Reef.  We got a hotel with a swimming pool and breakfast and dinner.  And we also went on hikes and we went fishing.  I didn't catch any but I was fine with that. And it was windy.  We got to have a couple Oreos and blah blah blah ...

The hiking was so fun.  We got to bring our camel baks that have water and I even got to take a lot of my own pictures.  And we also went to the Narrows where the mountains start to squish together but they don't.  And we also got to get ice cream after.  I really loved Capitol Reef.

I hope you have a fun Spring Break.  And I really love school.  I usually play soccer at recess with my friends.  And at school we are learning about the scientific method in science.  We got to do some experiments.  And we also got to race cars and see what one was faster as one of our experiments.  I really love Spring Break because you get to go on fun trips and do fun things with you family.

Goodbye!

February Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello!  This February we had really nice weather and got to play outside a lot.  One day, we went to Temple Square and we got to see the movie "Meet the Mormons" and we got to see Moroni on the top of the temple.  The movie was cool because we got to see different Mormons going around the world.

And it was Valentines Day!  I really loved it.  I got to make my own Valentines box at school in my class party.  We also make a tree in our house where we put up hearts and we write what we love about each other.  I love dad because he loves to do bubble with me.  I love mom because she takes care of me.  I love Brandon because he plays with me.  I love Eric because he loves to play Rubic Cubes with me. Valentines Day is when you celebrate love.

Since we had so much warm weather we went up to test the RZR, we got it for Christmas on how good it drives up and down hills.  We went on a little drive with our 4-wheelers.  Then we went to lunch with Grandma Norberg at Chuck-A-Rama.  I love Grandma Norberg since she's really nice to me every time I see her.

 I love school so much since I get to learn from my teachers.  Learn math and science and phonograms and words.  And I love Valentines Day.  And by Valentines Day is my mother's birthday.

Love Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

January Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello!  We have started a new year, 2015!!

This January I double tested from my orange belt to green belt.  I am in a new class ... YEAH!! I am in the Intermediate class.  What I had to do was the whole entire dosong yong form and I am learning at Green belt Palgae Six.  And I am learning sticks too.  I can't wait to learn the whole entire form. And I am in a blue uniform because I am in XPT!  And I have a katana (Japanese sword) because I am in the weapons class.  And I got new gloves in December at Christmas time from my mom.  And I got a patch with my XPT uniform. And I got a black belt promise.  

First grade is a really good class and I have three really good friends.  Their names are Tanner, Kyson and Alek.  Those are my three great friends.  And there is a girl which chases me around and she has a crush on me and her name is Evie.  I have to hide from her under the tables at lunch time.

I like soccer and football. I am really good at them.  

Goodbye!

November Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello.  This month we went to Los Alamos to visit our cousins.  On the way there we stopped at a hotel in Moab.  In Moab we swimmed at the hotel and we ate at Moab.  At Moab we went on a hike and me and my brothers tried to climb to the top of the mountain.

When we were in Los Alamos we celebrated my dad's birthday and Uncle Steve & Aunt Erin's anniversary.

And of course we celebrated Thanksgiving.  We had a Thanksgiving feast at Los Alamos.  I helped make the turkey for Thanksgiving feast.

It was so yummy.  My favorite part was the rolls!!

After we stuffed ourselves we went on a little hike.  It was so fun and the weather was so warm.  

While we were there me and the boys chopped wood and after me and the boys chopped wood we went to the gas station and got candy!!  And we went to a cool science museum. I loved being with my cousins.

Goodbye!
