April Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

This month I signed up for soccer. My dad is my coach! We have won three games and lost one game.  I love soccer so much. I have lots of friends I signed up with so they could be on my team including some of there friends, too.

My birthday was this month and I turned eight!!!!! My birthday party was at my house with more then twenty friends there. There were cupcakes and cakes that we made to look like monsters, fruit, chips and a pinata!  We played soccer and jumped on our tramp.  

For my birthday I got a scout uniform because now I am 8.  I am a Wolf.  I love scouts, all the stuff that we do.  I had a pack meeting this month.  It was the Blue & Gold Banquet and we ate and played games and dressed up like super heros.  I like the den meetings that we have.  

We had a fun run for our school.  It was a 5K.  I ran it and had fun at the Expo after.  Me and my brothers all got first place in our grades.  We got medals and a certificate to go to Boondooks.  I like playing with my friends after the fun run.  

We went to a ReAL Salt Lake soccer game.  We had fun watching them play soccer.  They played against the Houston Dynomo and ReAL won 2-1!  We ate popcorn and cinnamon nuts at the game and my brothers got slushies.  

I had a great month full of activities and fun!  I hope you had a good month.  Bye Bye!

March Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello!  This month I went to the Jazz game with my dad.  I got to watch them score and eat yummy stuff!  I think basketball is a great sport and I like to play.  I spend a lot of time shooting hoops outside.

I like to cook.  Sometimes I wear my mom's apron.  It's fun cooking lots of meals.

We decorated Easter eggs because it was almost Easter.  I liked making Broncos eggs and making colorful eggs.  It was fun cracking the eggs open and looking if there were eyeballs in them from the dye.

We had an Easter egg hunt at my house with lots of cousins, Uncles & Aunts.  I hunted eggs and then traded the candy in for a huge bag of pretzel sticks because I don't eat sugar.  It was really fun!

I think Easter is a very holy and sacred day.  But it's also fun.  We celebrate Easter for the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  I just always feel so comfortable on Sunday but especially on Easter Sunday.  This time we went over to Amy's house for dinner to celebrate Easter.  I had so much fun.

I hope you had a good Easter month.  Hope you are feeling good.  The End.

Love Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

February Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello my dear family and friends.  I learned something new about myself.  I LOVE to play basketball!  And I'm quite good.  I like that I have a really great team and a really great coach.  I hope that I can get the same coach next winter.  Now that the weather is nicer I love to go out and shoot hoops.  I'm out there first thing in the morning and play until dark.  Some of my teammates are Tate, Titon, Olivia and my friends Caioss and Danny.

Yeah!  Valentines day was great!  At school we had a class party for Valentines Day.  It was so fun. My mom was there and helped us do our project.  There was food there, unfortunately, most of it was sugar foods which I don't eat.  But that's ok.  I feel great not eating sugar.  I feel faster and healthier.  

Valentines Day was a nice Sunday with my family.

The weather is getting nice for riding bikes.  So my dad sprayed my bike so it would be faster and loosened my pedals.  I like to ride my bike around the circle and down the street and around the neighborhood.

We went to the Provo City Center Temple Open House.  We had a fun time looking at the temple.  I think my favorite part of the temple is the sealing room with their cool chandeliers.  The temple looked like a castle unlike other temples.  The temple makes me feel warm and calm inside.

Our cousins the Walkers came to visit.  They are such a nice family.  We went to the BYU Men's Volleyball game with them.  It was so fun.  My uncle Ed was even so nice to buy me some popcorn. BYU won.  It was so fun to watch them hit balls and see the half time shows.  

This February has been such a fun month with so much fun activities.  I love to go to school and play with my brothers and friends.

Love Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

January Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello.  My name is Kyle.  For New Years we went to our neighbors cabin/house.  We went sledding on a hill by their cabin.  We mowed down a trail with snow mobiles so we can ride down with tubes and sleds.

I also play in the Jr Jazz basketball league.  Some people on my team are Caioss, Danny, Tate, Titan and Cooper.  My team is good at defense and that gives us a better offense.  We have won most of our games and we still have one more to go.  I score a lot of baskets.  In my last game I scored 7 or 8 baskets.  We won 82 - 4.  I like basketball, I think I'll stick with it.  My coach wants me to play again on his team.  I also like to practice at home and at school.  I can't wait for next time.

I like to play in the snow and to play basketball.  I have really nice neighbors and I like to do stuff with them.  I have all A's in school.  Goodbye.

Love Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

December Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello.  This month we went to Trolley Square.  At Trolley Square, and ate at The Old Spaghetti Factory.  Then we got to see Santa there.  I asked him for a remote control truck or car.  It was fun there.

After that we went to Temple Square to see the lights.  We got to go inside the visitors center and look at some models of the temple.  There was something to show us around the temple.  It was a computer.  I had a lot of fun there.  

We had a ward Christmas party.  We ate there.  And my brother Eric was in the program as the boy from Polar Express.  Our cousins the Sintay's were here in town and got to go to it with us.  After I helped clean up.

We had a party at Aunt Melissa's house.  We ate there and played games there.  We played musical chairs, bingo, ring toss and pin the nose on the snowman.  My cousin who had me this year was Sean and he got me a Nerf gun that could shoot one, two, three or four bullets at once.  You can store 8 bullets in it.  I also got a Star Wars floor puzzle.  The shape of it was Darth Vadar.  

For Christmas Day I got in my stocking sugar free gum, sugar free candy and goldfish.  Santa must know that I've taken off sugar.  I also got a CTR ring and a stuffed monkey that I named Cutie.  Santa brought me a remote control car and mom and dad gave me Benny's Space Ship LEGO set!!! SPACE SHIP!!  I built Benny's Space Ship in one day.  It's awesome!!

I got my brothers Nerf guns for Christmas.  We like to have Nerf wars.

We've gotten lots of snow this month.  So Dad pulled us in the sleds behind the 4-wheeler.  We have been doing snow ball fights and building snow fortresses.

We went to Aunt Amy's for Christmas dinner.  We also got presents.  Grandma Chris brought me a Broncos hat and a shirt.  I love the Broncos!!

For New Years Eve we went to Airborne.  We had fun jumping and playing tag.  I met a friend who was a teenager who liked the Broncos too.

I hope you have a happy and jolly New Year.  Bye Bye!

Love Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

November Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello.  This month it was Thanksgiving.  We had a ward turkey bowl on Thanksgiving morning.  It was the Elders against the Young Men.  I was on the team with my dad.  It was fun.  Even though I didn't get the ball that much.

We went to Aunt Melissa's house for Thanksgiving dinner.  I ate turkey, pineapple, crackers and I totally forgot what else.  It was fun.  We played with toys with our cousins.  I played football with my cousin Tyler.  And we also had fun with our Aunts and Uncles and Grandma & Grandpa.  

We went to Gardner Village to see the elves.  We had fun finding elves and taking pictures.  They had the Naughty & Nice list there and I was on the Nice list (phew!!).  

I am having fun at school with my friends and at home with my friends and brothers.  I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving.  And I hope you have a happy Christmas.  Bye Bye!

Love Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

October Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello!  This month we had Conference.  I took notes with my brothers from the Conference talks.  I really liked the talk from President Monson.

We went on a drive to see the fall colors up American Fork Canyon.  We had so much fun.  We got to see an old mine.  Me and my brothers climbed up to the top.  And we got to see beautiful colors when we were up on the mountain driving home like yellow, red and those colors.  We went to Cafe Rio after.  We had such a fun time.

We went to Gardner Village in our costumes one day.  We were all nerds.  I like the witch hunt there. We found a lot of witches.

We also went to our cabin.  We painted pumpkins there with Grandma Ginger.  I painted a purple minion. Eric painted a yellow minion.  Brandon painted a super penguin.

We had our family Halloween party.  We ate doughnuts off a string but I ate an apple off of a string because I don't take sugar.  It didn't work out that well.  I had to rip it off of the string to eat it. Gobble gobble gobble!

This month was sad.  My great grandma died.  She was 90.  My cousins came in town for the funeral and got to stay for Halloween.  We had her funeral on the 29th.  We had her funeral at a church but it's kind of happy because she will get to see my mom's mom, her husband and her parents.  She was buried in Alpine, Utah.  It was a cold day but at least we didn't get rained on.  When we got back to the church we ate.  This was a sad day but we knew grandma was happy.

We carved pumpkins at our Crazy Uncle Ryan's house.  He's crazy!  He names his pumpkins.  We like to carve pumpkins with him.

We went trick-or-treating with our cousins and some friends.  

I got lots of candy.  Since it was a holiday I got a sugar cheat.  I got to eat 6 pieces of candy plus all my sugar free snacks.  The rest of the candy went to my brother Brandon who didn't trick-or-treat because he's too old.  

Bye Bye!  I hope you had a happy Halloween!
