May Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello! How are you? I'm doing great. I love having my brothers to play with or "hang out", as Eric says. We do lots of soccer and bubbles. It's very fun!

Summer fun brings summer weeding. We are doing lots of yard work due to all the rain and sun we have been getting. It is hard work, especially when it is scorching outside. It is fun...( not so much but mom says to always put a smile on your face) ;)

We went to Antelope island and went to some cool places. I had the best orange cream soda I've ever had! I had lots of fun trying new things and looking at bison. I had a really fun time.

We have been going on a lot of walks and bike rides over to the local parks. I have a lot of fun on the parks as well as riding or walking. It is so fun when we go with Sam. He is just the cutest thing ever!

I have been having a great summer break. I've been playing with my friends a lot lately. It is really fun. Bye! Love, Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

April Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello! I hope you have had a great April. I sure did. I went to two RSL games this April. One of them was to the Monarchs, and the other one was to Real Salt Lake. The games were really fun, and I got a RSL scarf from one of the games. I went to the Real Monarchs game for my Copper Mountain Soccer Party. I played a couple pick up games with my friends, and it was really fun!

 We also had my school's spring break. My dad took me and my brother Eric to the area around St. George to do some hiking and adventures. It was really fun. Some places that we went to are Goblin Valley, Black Dragon Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Dinosaur Footprint, The Narrows, Grand Wash, and Cedar city. We stayed at a hotel for the first night, and then we stayed at our grandma's house for the other 2 nights. We had fun in St. George and went to some parks. I also did a LOT of climbing. The highlight of my trip was the climbing. There were so many rocks to climb and caves to explore. There were some big caves that I walked into. We also went and watched Shazam in the movie theater.

During my spring break, I went to the Puppy Barn. There were lots of cute and adorable puppies. My favorite puppy was a white fluffy thing, I can't remember the name. I got to play with a lot of puppies, and it was so fun.

The highlight of my month was my birthday!!! I had a friend party and a family party in St. George.

I got some new shoes and shirts, and, like always, I got a new soccer ball. I got a lot of vans merchandise. For my friend party we did cake wars teams. We then did a lot of soccer. It was really fun!!! 

We also had Easter we did some Easter egg hunt and got lots of candies. Yum!

I play for Copper Mountain Comp. Soccer Club. My team is great, and we play in premier comp. I have got three assists, and no goals. But that's okay. I love playing soccer. It is my favorite sport.

I am doing well in school, and having a good home life. Bye!
Love, Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

March Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello! I hope you've had a great March. I sure did. Sam had his second birthday! We had lots of family over for him. Mom bought a cake from a person who was auctioning off things and donating the money to charity. The cake looked awesome. Sam got two new drum sets and a shape tool. I love Sam!

I know play for a new Comp. team. I play on Copper Mountain Venom. They are awesome! I love playing with them! It took me a while to memorize all their names and numbers. I have been getting a lot of awards. In my first two games, I got M.V.P. But that isn't what matters. I like the players and have made friends with all of them. 

I love cooking! I cook German Pancakes, pancakes, waffles, and french toast. I get up every morning that I don't have school and cook. It is really fun!

This month I celebrated St. Patrick Day. I made green french toast! We also had green milk and green grapes. It was a calm day, and we didn't really celebrate it that much. I just cooked.

Well, that is it for my month. I've been reading my early letters when I was younger, and I want to do this part like those letters.

I like to play soccer with my brothers. I like to read books. I like to play video games. I like to sleep. This is Kyle. Bye!

Love, Kyle Barnhisel

February Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

   We are really getting far into Come Follow Me. It has taught me so much. We are also listening to the churches newly released Saint's book. It has taught me many truths that I didn't know from the scriptures.

Choose not to say >;{ Let's just say I was bored and she caught me by surprise, (don't judge me)};<

 

One day, I was flaying, (playing), in the snow when I found a GIANT icicle that was almost bigger than me! It was really cool!!!

My mom's birthday was this month. Brandon and I made a heart shaped cake for her. Her birthday was nice and peaceful.

I like to do tricks on my bicycle a lot of the day. I can stand up on my bicycle and not use the seat. It is pretty cool. It is also fun.

Well that is my life right now. It has been a good month. I'm doing well in school. Bye!

        Sincerely, Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

January Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello! How has your month been? I had a great month filled with many fun activities. Earlier in the month, I went to the So Jo ,( South Jordan), Recreational Center to play some soccer with my best friend, Alek. It was so fun. We played some really fun soccer games.

Another activity I like to do is called Crush Mom At Card Games! I like playing Canasta with mom so much that I do it all day. Mom always says that she we only play if she wins, but she shouldn't be playing because she never wins ;). I also sometimes play with dad too, but mom is usually the only one here. Canasta with mom is one of my favorite activities.

I also had a pack meeting for cub scouts. We were doing a junk build for our activity and me and my friend Garret worked together and built a man. It was really fun. After, we beat the man up with his own legs!

We have also been doing the new Come Follow Me scripture study. I think that it is helping me with my personal study and my family study. We are also listening to the church's newly released saints book. It is teaching me many new things. 

I have been up and active doing basketball for the past few weeks. It is fun to play and I like to score a lot, but my team is, well, to say it in a glass half full manner, not the best. We ended our season 0-7. We almost won a couple but, the other teams would always scrape a little lead at the end of the game. It was still sort of fun, and I enjoyed some of it.

The home life has been enjoyable. I love playing with Sam. Life is easy and fun at home.

I'd say that I have been doing good in school, getting good grades, not getting in trouble, and all of the other related stuff. This month has been awesome. That's all for this month. I'll send next months letter, well, next month. Bye!

Sincerely, Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

December Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello! How has your month been? I hope you had an amazing month. I have to say that my month was amazing! The first snow was splendid. I went out immediately and started making a snow fortress. I had so much fun in the snow. I made snowballs and snow angels. Even though it was cold, I loved every second of it!!!

We went to my grandpa's work party. They had some really good food. I ate lots of fruit and meat. My cousins were also there and I had fun with them. I ran around with Sam and he and I had lots of fun. We also visited Santa and I told him what I wanted. I hope I get what I want or something similar. My hopes are set on Christmas morning!

We also did a family tradition by going to see the beautiful lights at Temple Square. All the lights were magnificent. Another thing is that I always feel happy and uplifted at Temple Square. It always gives me this lovely feeling in my heart. We also went to the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. Even though I couldn't find my money to donate, I loved seeing so many other people giving. It always makes me smile.

We have some widows,(A.K.A our ward grandmas), in our ward. We invited them over for dinner. I had a great time with Sister Febrizio, Sister Black, and Sister Rosier. We had chicken noodle soup and orange rolls, and I can tell they loved the dinner. For such I am very happy. They also gave us a lot of candy but I think we didn't need it because It was our gift to them.

We went to Gardener Village and saw the elves. They were in a lot of funny places, and Sam and I had lots of fun. It was pretty cold, but I had an awesome time. There was only one thing I didn't like, and it is that they didn't have the naughty and nice list up this year. But besides that, it was so fun.

We had our 5th grade concert to. We had some cool songs, and I loved them. Lots of my friends were there, and I had an awesome time singing with them. My best friend Alek was hanging out with me before, and it was an awesome evening.

We made ginger bread houses this year and I had lots of fun. Mine might not have looked good,(I did the other side of the ginger bread house in the picture, but Brandon wanted the picture to be good). My side was a big mess because I glued a tree to the window on the other wall.

We had our neighborhood Christmas party and my mom and dad were in charge. Not to brag, but it was the best party so far. We had a Charlie Brown Christmas Play and I opened it with the first speaking part. The play wasn't the best, but I enjoyed it.

Our family Christmas party was on Christmas Adam, and it was pretty amazing because my aunt and uncle were setting it up. We had some fun games and we even did a puzzle. We had a cousin gift exchange but Sam got me. I got some awesome basketball shorts and I really like them.

On Christmas Eve we started tracking Santa. He took a neighbor gift that was a plate of cookies, and we left it for Santa with a glass of milk. I got some new pajamas that made me look like an elf, and Sam became Samta with his new pajamas.

Christmas morning was a buzz as we were waiting for mom and dad to wake up. When they got us I sprinted down the stairs to our stockings, were I got a mini football and some food. I then ran to presents were I got some awesome stuff. My favorites were an Adidas backpack and some sweet soccer shoes. I also got and DVD of Studio C best sketches. It was awesome!!!!!!!

I had some more fun in the snow when my dad took me sledding behind his side-by-side. It was so fun.

New years was so fun and we did lots of fun activities. We did cake wars and I am pretty sure that I lost, but that is OK. But we did watch a movie until 12:29 so we kinda missed New Years.

School has been pretty easy and fun and I have had lots of fun playing in the snow. Bye!

November Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

 Hello. I hope you are having a good Thanksgiving. One thing I like to do is cook this delicious meal called German Pancakes. They are so good and so fun to bake. I usually bake it during Sunday morning and all the boys devour it. I have to bake a double and a normal batch to feed them. I love eating German Pancakes.

We went to St. George with almost all of my cousins. We played at the park a lot and did some football. We went and saw the monument for the Mountain Meadows Massacre to. It was so sad seeing graves of 7 and 8 year old kids. I learned some new things and had lots of fun at St. George. I'll be waiting for our next St. George.

We also went to Snow Canyon and I had lots of fun climbing rocks and finding very large caves. I found an enormous cave that looked like a hut and I had lots of fun in there. I climbed to the highest peak on one of the hills. We also went to a sand dune and slid down it. I also got buried with sand. I had lots of fun. What made it even more fun was that lots of my cousins were there. We even got animations of us rolling down the hill.

One of my favorite activities this month is that we got to go to Gardener Village and do an escape room. We were doing the wizard one, which was the hardest out of all of them because only 27% get out. We almost got out. The funny thing is that we finished half of the room and we thought we were done. But then a door opened and it lead us into an entire other room with only 18 minutes to go. We got through two clues after that but we still couldn't win. But I still had an amazing time.

Well, I guess that is it for this month. I hope you had a good month. School has been pretty easy and I have had a lot of fun playing my last season with my "used to be" soccer team, Razzia. Now I play for Copper Mountain. I am about to start my basketball season and I am very excited. Love you and Bye.
