December Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello! I had a very fun December! I got to go back to Gardener Village with my old best friend, Alek. It was fun and I liked being able to see my friend again.

My new dream is to cook. I love to cook! This Christmas I made a lot of gingerbread. I made cookies, and pancakes! The homemade gingerbread tasted delicious.

Our Christmas family party was on Christmas Eve, and it was pretty fun. I got a stocking full of candy and money! The most special experience I had was that we were able to provide a Christmas for a poor family. We brought them lots of presents and goodies. It was pretty touching.

On Christmas Eve Sam and I got Christmas PJ's. Sam was so excited to put out the cookies for Santa. We went to bed at 10:00. I can't wait till Christmas.

I got some amazing presents for Christmas. The whole family got spike ball, a Foosball table, two bean-bags, and a popcorn making machine. I got an Alexa, a Barcelona shirt, a new Kindle, and some candy. I also got Battlefront 11.

Sledding is great up here. There's great hills, and great jumps. There's a hill called suicide hill. It is crazy, but fun.

We had a cake-off. I made a gummy serpent pit. It was really fun.

I hope you have a great 2020! Bye.

Love, Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

November Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello! I hope you have had a great November, and Thanksgiving! I had a lot of fun baking pies! I baked a lot of pies. They were all delicious. I loved them!

I had a lot of fun during the primary baking contest. We got put into groups, and I was put into a group with all my friends. We were assigned to make cupcakes. My group's cupcakes were amazing. I even snuck a few. We won best use of ingredients award, but they had to give a prize to everyone.

My dad's BIRTHDAY was this month. We made him an amazing three-course meal. I made a homemade German chocolate cake. It wasn't the prettiest thing, but dad said it tasted good. We gave my dad a propane fire place for his birthday.

My FAVORITE cousins came over from New Mexico. I had a blast with them. They stayed for a couple nights over Thanksgiving. I had a really fun time playing games and sledding with them.

We've been getting a lot of good sledding snow. I have been trying to figure out where the best sledding hill is, but I have a few ideas. It is also really good snow to make forts in and to make snowballs. I have a lot of fun playing in the snow with my cousins.

Well, that's my month in a nutshell. Thanksgiving is a very special time. I just want to say that I am thankful for my family, and all my relatives. I am thankful for my nice and warm house, and for my very nice neighbors. I am looking forward to Christmas, and I cant wait for the New Year.

Bye, Love you.
 Love, Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

October Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello! Sense were living in the mountain, we go on a lot of walks. I wouldn't say that they're my favorite thing to do, but they're pretty fun. Walking uphill is pretty hard though.

I went to many fun halloween places, and I really liked Jakers. It was really fun. Sam loved it there. I did too.

We started preparing for winter. We got some wood and coal for our wood burner downstairs. Because we know it's gonna be cold.

There's so much snow!!! All the hills make pretty good sledding hills. I love sledding. I've been going everywhere to find the best sledding hill.

 For my Halloween costume I was a homeless. The school party was pretty fun, and I had blast trick or treating. There was a cool homeless shelter thing that I was able to go into. It was amazing. I got lots of candy.

We had this amazing butter beer. It was delicious. We had it for halloween and it was fun.

Well, I guess that's all. I've been doing good on my grades, and I've loved school so far. Bye!

Love, Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

September Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

  Hello!!! There's nothing really exciting about this month. The only fun part was cooking. I love cooking, IN MY NEW HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE FINALLY MOVED!!! I LOVE IT HERE!!!!! I LOVE LIVING IN THE MOUNTAINS AND MY HOUSE IS AMAZING!!!! I HAVE SUCH GREAT FRIENDS!!! I'M SOOOOOO GLAD WE MOVED!!!! I got a little excited there. It was a joke, if you're wondering why I said nothing happened that was exciting. I still am missing some stuff, but I love living in Woodland hills. Well, I guess I should talk about the cooking. I really like cooking and I like to bake breakfast food the most. It's kind of cool that I love cooking because my nick-name at school is Gordon Ramsey. (because everyone thinks I look like him)

I take the bus to the school. The walk to the bus stop is hurtful. I have to walk uphill, both ways. School is really fun and I have a big group of friends. My teacher is, umm..., lets just say above average. The school is big and recess is really fun.

Before I even moved, I got on to a new comp. team. They are really good. The players are nice, and the coaches are good. They are a lower level then my old comp. team, but they're better then my old team.

You know how I said that I missed some stuff, this is it.😖 My friend group.😢 They were amazing. I found them at a soccer game after I moved. It was a sad but happy occasion. And after the day is done, we said are goodbyes' they were gone, I'll probably never see them again.

I use my four-wheeler to get around everywhere. It's my "Car" up here. I rode it in a parade and Sam threw candy to the kids. It was super fun.

I love hanging out with friends and family. We found a new dump truck hill. And it makes you go quick. We do lots of races and it is super fun.

I've been having some foot and back problems and it was hurting my soccer game. I got it fixed and I am almost as good as new. Bye!

Love, Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

August Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello! I went to the cabin for the last time. It was a lot of hard work. We unloaded and said bye to the cabin. It was pretty sad.

                                                 

I joined a new soccer team. There a shooters team. There a really good team.  They have some good players. We were undefeated. My cousins came over for the wedding.

Grant got married! I went to the reception. It was fun. All of my friends were there. I was the baby sitter. There was lots of good food. I had lots of fun.

We moved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We moved to woodland hills!!!!! Our house is awesome and I have some great friends. I love living in the mountains. It is so fun. My ward is really great.

I went to an arcade which was really fun. Sam liked to play a lot of the games. They had some good V.R sets that were really fun. I loved it there. I hope I will get to go again.

School started! I have a lot of friends. I have a good teacher. School is pretty fun. I love this school. I am learning a lot. I ride the bus to school. Its a workout to get to the bus stop, though. The bus is fun. I have lots of fun on the bus.

I have lots of friends. I guess tramps are really cool to everyone up here. Me and my friends love to jump on it. My very best friend Nick comes over a lot.

My house is very fun. I love this place. See you soon! Bye!

Love, Kyle Barnhisel

July Letters

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello! We went to Beaver and stayed at a hotel. My cousins were there too. We did lots of four-wheeling up there. I caught a fish at a reservoir.

I went to the aquarium with my cousins. It was fun. Sam loved it. After, we went to Cafe Rio.

I've been doing the basketball season. I only went to three games. So I don't really don't know very much about standings and stuff. But they were a good team. Though I sorta carried them.

We are moving!!! We are moving to woodland hills near Salem and Spanish Fork. Our house is big and I've made a few friends.  We are moving into the mountains.

We had a big trip to mount rainier. We flew into Washington and stayed at a VRBO. The second vrbo was big and awesome. We visited the coast and Mount rainier. The flights were annoying. But, the rest of the trip was awesome. We also went to a rainforest and saw some massive trees.

I can't wait to move and go to school. Bye.!
Love, Kyle Patrick Barnhisel

June Letter

Dear Family & Friends,

Hello! How has your month been? Mine has been great. I like kicking a soccer ball with my brothers. It is really fun. This month has treated us well with the weather and temperature. So we can pass for a long time.

We went to the cabin this month. It was very beautiful and warm. Our little stream had filled up with water. There was lots of green and blue. We went 4-wheeling on lots of trails. We made lots of fire's and had lots of treats. It was really fun. 

Fathers day was this month too. We bought him some Traeger stuff and had LOTS of pictures. It was a fun time and we cooked some very savory meat on dad's Traeger.

Sam has found his favorite place in the Entire universe. He nags us every day to play at the pool. He loves it there. He likes pretending to shoot every one in sight. Luckily for us, we got an inflatable pool to meet his needs.;)

I joined a summer basketball team with all my friends. We are doing good and have won one game and lost one game. Our first game we got creamed by a team that was accidentally put in our league. They were 2 years older than us.

We went and saw Toy Story 4 this month for a work party that my mom got invited too. We got lots of popcorn but the price for that popcorn was all the pictures. The place we went was really cool. There were water fountains and shopping places. It was like an outdoor mall!

Eric had his birthday this month. I made waffles for him. He had a party for him. Some of his friends came over and hung out with Eric. He was really happy.

I've been having a good summer so far. I've been playing with my friends a lot. Bye!
Love, Kyle Patrick Barnhisel
