November Letter

 Dear Family & Friends, 

Hello everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We went to Aunt Melissa & Uncle Randy's house and I played PacMan (a lot). Dad played Super Smash Bros. He didn't know how to play that anymore. We had our feast. I ate turkey and rolls and chips. It was fun to see family.

We went to a restaurant on dad's birthday (Texas Roadhouse). I love my dad because he plays games with me all the time. 

We went and got a real Christmas tree this year. Dad picked the biggest one! I love to decorate for Christmas. I liked decorating the downstairs tree. 

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and Christmas. I hope I get to see you all. I miss you and I love you.

October Letter

 Dear Family & Friends, 

Hello. This has a beautiful fall! 

One Saturday, we took a drive in the jeep and went up the trail to Tower Mountain. I liked it because Jessie was up there. You could see the whole valley below from the top of the mountain. 

We also had our annual neighborhood apple juicing party. I helped by putting the apples in the bucket of water so they could be cut and juiced. It was yummy!

I went on a little hunt with my dad. It was just a short one because I was a little cold and tired but we drove the 4-wheeler and went up into the mountains by our house and looked for deers. 

I carved a pumpkin at my house with Kyle. Dad also carved a pumpkin. I love carving pumpkins. It's fun.

For Halloween I was an army guy. Kyle was Bob Ross. And Eric and Cam (our friend from France) wore scary masks. 

We went to the trunk-or-treat and gave out candy and got candy. It was good. My dad and mom went with me. And I saw lots of my friends. Halloween is fun!

I got to make a pretend pumpkin at my school. And leaves for fall. I like recess at kindergarten. Goodbye!

Love Sam Wade Barnhisel

September Letter

 Dear Family & Friends, 

Hi guys. How are you? This month was great. I started school this month and I'm loving it. I had to make a poster about myself for school which was really fun. I put pictures of my family and things that I do for fun on it so my classmates can learn more about me. I have a lot of new friends in my class and I love playing with them. 

We went to swiss days this month which was fun. We had a yummy breakfast in the morning and then we went to a parade after that. I got a lot of candy in the parade and got to see a lot of cool fire trucks and police cars in the parade. I hope that we go there again next year. 

We went to Payson days this month to. They had a super fun carnival there and mom and I went on a lot of super fun rides. I love carnivals and want to go to them every chance I get. I went on the carousel and I loved it. I went on a horse on the Carousel. I went on a frog ride that jumped up in the air. I also went on a dragon roller coaster there as well. The carnival was super fun. 

We went to gardener village this month too. We found a lot of witches up there and they were doing silly things. I did a scavenger hunt for the witches and after I found all of them I got a cookie. We got to go to a fun train store and control some RC trains there which was fun. We went and got caramel apples as well which were really good. I'm glad we got to go to gardener village this year and I hope we go next year too. 

I like to play with my toys when I'm at home. I like to play basketball outside as well. I like playing with my friends. They are so much fun. I'm learning my shapes and how to count to 100 at school. We have a chart at school that we count up to 100 on every day. I hope you all have a great October. 

Bye.

Love, Sam Wade Barnhisel

 Dear Family & Friends. 

Hi everybody. How are you? This month was great. We went on vacation with the Dewey's this month. We went fishing a lot in Beaver and went on a lot of four wheeler rides. We went on a ride and found a big obstacle course that we all went on. Mom was scared that we were going to fall but we were pros and went on some of the obstacles. Our trip was super fun and I'm glad that I got to play with my friends in a new place.

We finished the play place this month. Guy made a pirate wheel that we mounted to the play place. We got a pirate flag too that fly's over the play place. We put a sand box underneath the play place which is super fun. I have all of my sand toys in the sandbox which are really fun to play with. We put a tire swing on the play place too. We have so many things on the play place. I have a lot of fun playing on the play place with my friends and we have a fun time on it. 

I started school this month. I get to ride the bus with my friends every day. I'm learning a lot at school especially my shapes. I have a lot of new friends in my class and I love to play with them. Some of them are Ricky and Anthony. 

I got to play with my cousins this month too. We went over to our neighbors house to see their puppies. There were so many of them and they were so cute. They made cotton candy for us as well which was super yummy. I'm glad I got to go see those puppies and play with my cousins. 

I like to play with my toys and play with my friends too. I walk to the bus stop with mom and chowder every morning and get to go on the bus with my friends. I like to play outside too. I hope you all have a great rest of summer. Bye.

Love, Sam Wade Barnhisel

July Letter

 Dear Family & Friends, 

Hope you are having a wonderful summer! I am! I have been working in my yard with my friend guy. I like building. We have been working on my play place. 

I love Top Golf because it's so fun! I eatted there and I golfed.

I went to Beaver on a trip. I went with my dad and Eric. We stayed in a tent. My cousins Eden, Mila and Emma were there. We played, rode the 4 wheelers and collected flowers. I liked that trip. 

I went on a family trip to Washington. I liked riding on the plane. 

We went to Mt Rainier and saw a big waterfall. It was fun to hike there. I loved hiking. 

Then we went to Seattle. We got to see them throw fish at Pikes Place. 

We stayed at a house on the beach. I loved being at the beach. I walked into the water and jumped over the waves. And I collected sand dollars and we didn't have to pay for them. They were at the beach. I played with all the sand toys and built a sand castle.

We did some hiking by the beach and found some huge trees. It was so cool there. I loved taking a picture of me in the trees. I loved that. 

When we got home I went to Salem Pond and went to the beach there with all my friends. With Leah and Blair and Hyrum and Niles and Tilly. I love to play in the water and make a sand castle. 

I have loved summer and hope you have too. Good bye.

Love Sam Wade Barnhisel

 Dear Family & Friends, 

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a good summer. This month was Father's Day. I like my dad because he's nice.

I like Chowder. I like to play tug-a-war with him.

We did a project. We ripped rock off the wall in front of the house. We put white on it. I hammered the rocks off. I like ripping off the rock because I like ripping off rocks. 

We went on a jeep ride. We climbed up mountains and went through some snow and dirt and mud. I love being with my family and there was so much green there. 

I have great friends! I play with them a lot. I play lots of things like soccer, trampoline, picnics. I like to play with my friends and my cousins.

This month my mom and dad took a big trip! They went to Germany!! While they were gone I got to play with my Mahoney cousins!

We had so much fun!! I like swimming. I like swimming with my cousins. There's a little river that you rush through. And I missed my mom.

We went to the aquarium. There's a little bubble that you can go in. I like the sharks. There was stingrays and fish.

I hope you are having a fun summer too! Goodbye.

May Letter

 Dear Family & Friends, 

Hello, how are you? Summer's here now and I've been outside a lot lately. I was happy when I got to go in our hammock. Even my friends Tilly and Blair tried out our hammock too. We all tried to fit in the hammock but we didn't fit.

We went to a garden this month too. We went with Blair and Blair's mom and it was a lot of fun. We got to see some pretty flowers. My favorite flowers were the red ones. 

Mothers day was this month too. My mom and I sat in the hammock for our picture. I love mom because she gives me yummy food and she loves me. 

Soccer is my favorite sport. I have a good team and we won a lot of games. I'm pretty good too. I score a lot of goals when I play. I even have a special water bottle for my soccer games that I bring with me. Carson's mom was our coach and she was a good coach. 

I love playing at the park with my cousins. We went to the park when all of our cousins were visiting our house. I had fun playing on the teeter totter and I went in the middle of it. I sure hope my cousins come back to our house so we can go play at the park again. 

We went camping up Payson canyon this month too. I liked the fire and I had fun making smoke sticks with Kyle. Smoke sticks are awesome. We cooked hotdogs over the fire and after we ate dinner, we watched a movie because my dad brought a generator with him. I slept so good in the tent. 

We went to the grotto as well. I really liked the waterfall and had fun hiking up to it. 

I've been doing a lot of chores lately. Every time I do a chore I get a dollar so I make sure to do all my chores and do them well. I love helping out around the house and making things clean. I especially like vacuuming. I like the plug because it has a little slider that you can get out. 

I have lot's of fun playing with my friends every day. My brothers are at home all day now that school is over. I like jumping on the tramp and playing with toys as well. I hope you all have a great summer.

Bye.

Love, Sam Wade Barnhisel.
