June Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello!!! I've been having a great summer. We went on a really fun cabin trip with Sam. Sam made my cabin trip twice as fun. It was Sam's first cabin trip!!!!!! Me and Sam had a fun time exploring and going on rides. Sam had a lot of fun also. I love to drive the Recon on the main road and on trails. I worked on my fort that I have been building for the last few cabin trips. Also, are whole entire families fort is still as good as new. To bad that are cousins are moving out of there cabin that is super close to our's.

We also went cyote hunting. My said he saw one and that is how we went out to go kill them. Eric found the den and my dad shot in the den with his gun. It turned out that the so called ciotes were actually red foxes!! On the way to the den me and my dad fixed a fence. It was a good learning expierence.

Also, we put up targets and I got to shoot at them with a beebeegun. I never hit builsie but I hit the target a lot of times. It was so much fun.

Dive in!!! The pool opened and me and my brothers got pool passes and have been going to the pool ever sense. I can do a front flip and back flip of the low dive. I can also do a front flip of the high dive. I like jumping of the dives, going down the slides, throughing tourpeedos and chasing after them, and playing in the deep and shallow end of the pool.

Also, to add to the fun we got to be in a sweet with the owner of the Real team. Real won 2-1. It was a great game. Also, I had so much fun at the sweet. We pretty much got front row seats! The food there was delicouse. The owner seemed nine. I had so much fun.

Fathers day was this month. It was a nice and peaceful morning. We had some good breakfast then went to church. At church we sung some songs for are fathers. I was very happy.

Also, I had a chance to earn some money. My brother was doing soccer clinics and needed asistants. I got payed thirty dollars. It was super fun.

Also, are cousins that live in New Mexico came over to are house and stayed for a couple days. We had a lot of adventures. One of the most fun adventures was ween we caught ducklings and helped them get to the canal.

Summer has been super fun. I hope you are all having a great summer. See you next time!!!

May Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

This month has been so fun. Sam has been so fun.  He's so cute.  I love him so much.  I like being and playing with Sam.  I wish he could stay this little for ever and ever.  Sam has been making a lot of noises lately.  Sam always smiles at me.  He likes when I dance or make him dance.  I know Sam likes me because he smiles at me a lot.  Sam is a really fun brother.

Mother's day morning was peaceful.  Everyone was being nice.  The breakfast was really good.  At church I sang a song to my mom.

At the pine wood derby I got third place.  I almost won every time I raced.  But, I am fine with third place.  It was so fun.

Also, at school we had field day.  It was so fun.  My class or/and team crushed the other people.  I had fun with my friends.

On the last day of school we had an end of school party at the church field.  And at school we signed each others shirts and autograph books.  We also just partied the whole entire school day!

I also visited some of my ancestors graves for memorial day.  I learned a lot of stories about them .  It was really cool.

Summer break has been so fun. I love doing night games.

   Love, Kyle Barnhisel

April Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

April has been a fun month.  First, there was General Conference!  This month  I got to go to General Conference for the first time ever!  We were on the top level of the Conference Center.  It was so cool.  While we were going to the top level, we looked out some windows and got a really good view of a temple!

Also, this month was Sam's Baby Blessing!  There were snacks and lots of fun cousins.  My dad plus a couple people blessed Sam.  They gave Sam a wonderful and long baby blessing.  It was so fun!

Also, we decorated hard boiled eggs. I decorated my eggs really good. They were so cool. I let them sit in the bowl for a long time so they began to be cool colored. I also would mix to colors to make a really cool color. I decorated a lot of eggs. It was so fun.

This month was our spring break.  We did a staycation.  One thing we did was we went to the Hogle Zoo. We got to see a lot of cool animals and insects. My favorite animal there was the cool bird we saw in the reptile house. It was multi-colored with a really long tail and a mow-hawk. A flamingo flew onto the ropes where me and my family were and it was so cool. I also liked the lions and the tigers. I also liked the sea otters and the sea lions. Too bad the polar bear died and we didn't get to see it. We had some snacks there. It was super cool.

 Also this month we had an Easter party at Lizzy and Wyatt's house. We had an Easter egg hunt there and also swam in their heated swimming pool. I got a lot of eggs because there were only 4 of us hunting and a lot of eggs. Also at the Easter party we celebrated my birthday. They sang happy birthday to me and we got to have some cake. It was super fun.

This month we celebrated Easter. Easter was so fun. 

We had a special dinner to celebrate my birthday ( the next day) because Brandon and Dad were leaving the next day. We went to church and then played and relaxed the whole rest of the day. I got to open one of my presents that was from mom and dad. It was super fun.

This month I had my birthday party. There were a lot of people there and I got a lot of presents. We hung out at my house and ate pizza and donuts. Then after we had pizza and donuts and opened my presents.  Then we went to the park to play.  It was super fun!

We had our school Fun Run.  It was a 5K.  I crushed it!  I ran super fast!  I came in first for my grade and 6th overall! The only kids that beat me were my brother Brandon and Jace.  

I went off sugar the day after my birthday and I'm going to do it for a whole year.  After the year is done I'll get $100 dollars.  I have done this before so it's no big deal for me.

I am doing well in school and am having fun.  I like to play at home.  Goodbye.

Love Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

March Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

HE'S HERE!!  My baby brother SAM was born on March 6, 2017.  He is so ADORABLE and CUTE.  I like HIM so much.  I was REALLY EXCITED when MOM and DAD told me that I was going to have another BABY BROTHER.

Also, to add to this great month, is SAINT PATRICK'S DAY!!  Those sneaky leprechauns turned our waffles and milk green!  Make sure your wearing green or you'll get pinched at my school.  The leprechauns turned our school room upside down. They destroyed our room.  Those darn leprechauns!!

I've been doing well in school.  Speaking of school, both my brothers made the school soccer team!! I am the ball boy and help out with the practices.

Love Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

February Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello, February was super fun.  It is full of super fun activities and a holiday. (Valentines Day).
 
For are school Valentines Day party we were supposed to decorate and make Valentine boxes.  I was fortunate that my grandma was there and could help me and Eric with our boxes.  Our grandma is an artist.  She drew the Broncos symbol on the front of my box, (the box that I'm holding).  My grandma Jinx helped me make my box look like my Broncos hat.  She also helped Eric make his box.

For our school Valentine's day party we went to different centers and played a different game at every center.  We also exchanged Valentine's.  My Valentines were pictures of NBA players.  I tried to arrange them by names to other people in my class who had the same names.  Like I gave my friend Damian a Damian Lillard valentine.  Also I gave my best friend, Alek Russell a Russell Westbrook valentine.  And for the rest of the people in my class I tried to arrange them in what type of basketball player they would be.  Valentine's day party was so fun!

We also celebrated mom's birthday this month.  Her birthday is near Valentine's Day.  She had just barely turned 41.  We made her a heart shaped cake (like always because her birthday is near Valentine's day.)  Of course we gave her the biggest piece!  

I can't wait for my brother Sam!  I am planning on teaching him how to play soccer, basketball and football.  Life has been going good.  We've had some nice weather this month so dad and us set up the trampoline.  Whenever the weather is nice we go out and play on the tramp and play dodge ball.  Bye!  I'm out!

Love Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

January Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

This month has been a fun month.  I am playing basketball and i'm really good.  My dad is my coach!  I have many friends on my team. Too bad Alek isn't on my team.  We are 4-2.  My team is really good.  Me, Tyson, and Marcus are the Big Three.  We score most of the points on are team. Out of the big three only Tyson has scored a three pointer.  Me and Tyson always bring down the ball (or should always bring down the ball).  Me, Tyson, Marcus, and Kynoa learned to set screens.  Kynoa is pretty good at basketball.  He is super tall. In this picture me and my friend Garret are standing together.  He is way taller than me.  Basketball is so fun!

 

Still, math is my favorite subject.  I am now starting to measure perimeters.  I have discovered the game Terarria.  It is so fun playing Terarria with my brothers.

Love Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

December Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello.  December has been a fun month!  We have a lot of family traditions.  One thing we like to do is go up to Temple Square to see the lights and to see the candy windows.  I think it's really cool and it's all made out of candy!  I would love to eat one of those!  It would be so yummy!

While we were up at Temple Square we also went to the Gallivan Center and went ice skating.  I fell a lot of times but at least I tried.  It was so fun at the Gallivan Center because we got to eat at Grandpa Clark's work party before ice skating.  

Another thing we do is go to Gardner Village to see the elves.  Elves are just randomly in places.  It was so fun although I found my name on the Naughty List!  Yikes!

I did a service project where I made peppermint bark and brought it to people who need a pick me up at Christmastime.  We also got a little bit of the peppermint bark so we could eat it.  It was delicious!

I had my school winter concert.  We were supposed to wear a white shirt and dark pants.  I dressed up with a white church shirt and a red tie with school pants.  We sang "Here Comes Santa Claus" and a couple other songs.

We always have a Christmas party at our Aunt Melissa's house.  We eat and have a cousin gift exchange.  What we do is we pick names and we get a gift for that cousin.  I had Tyler and got him a hat.  Tyler had me and got me a football.  At the party we play lots of games and Aunt Melissa always has great prizes for us.  We also played with our toys.  I ate lots of ham.

On Christmas Eve, Grandpa Clark, Grandma Chris, Aunt Amy's family, Uncle Brian & Natalie and Aunt Janeen came to our house.  Grandma gave me one more gift and it was a really cool Nerf gun.  Aunt Amy gave me a cool puzzle.  It is very easy.  We ate there.

Another tradition is we always get to open one present on Christmas Eve.  I got a Broncos blanket with a K on it.  Also on Christmas Eve night we put out cookies for Santa, track Santa on the computer and get to bed early!  We also played with our new puzzles.

On Christmas morning, I got three Star Wars Buildable LEGO sets from Santa!  Also I got lots of Pokemon and me and Eric got lots of Broncos stuff for our new Broncos room.

I got a Broncos sign.  

On Christmas day after we opened presents we went and shoveled for the widows in the ward and then went to church.  That evening we went to a Nursing home and played Christmas songs for them.  I played "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel".  It was nice to do that for them.

Over Christmas break we went up to our cabin and sledded with our cousins Waylon, Cole and Kaylee.  We hung out at Aunt Ginger's cabin for part of the time and traded Pokemon cards with Cole.  It was super fun to be up there in the winter.  At the cabin we got stuck in the snow and dad had to dig the truck out.  We brought all the stuff into our cabin by pulling sleds from the truck out at the road.  The snow was so deep.  We built snow fortresses and had a snow ball fight.  I made a snow angel.

For New Years Eve we went over to our friends the Russell's house and had a party.  We ate pizza, brownies, ice cream, hot chocolate and played video games and Pie Face Show Down.

I'm looking forward to turning 9 in 2017.  I can't wait for the new year!
