September Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

How are you?  I am doing great.  I hope that you had a nice September and end of summer.  I know I am really looking forward to the fall.

We had a lot of fun this month.  Over Labor Day weekend we went up to the cabin and got to play and also go to the Mountain Man Rendezvous and got painted up like wild little Indians (how fitting!)

I am becoming quite the tough little nut.  I don't like to be told what to do and will tell anyone who is trying to tell me what to do that I won't let them in my room anymore or that I am going to break their whole house ... mommy is usually the one on the receiving end of this. 

But I also say sweet things to.  My family always gets a kick out of any "P" word that I say.  I love to eat "Fretzels" and "Fringles".  I love to "Flay".  I love to "flay" Legos and I love to ride scooters and this month I learned how to pedal my bike.  Yeah! 

Love Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello everyone!! How are you? I am doing great!! This month we have done a lot of Saturday hikes and spent a lot of time in the mountains. We love the mountains.

We also had a really fun neighborhood bike parade which I really liked.

"Brothers" started school this month so I have been having a lot of dates with mommy. I love having the whole house to my self. I spend a lot of time in my room or Eric's room building Legos and sometimes mom doesn't see me for a long time because I am just so happy playing.

I hope that you are all doing well and that you are healthy and happy!

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.

Love Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

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
