Kyle's Preschool Graduation

West Jordan always goes over the top on their preschool graduation! Thanks to Grandma Chris, Grandpa Clark, Lizzy, Jenny, Owen & Emma and Emily for joining us for the big shibang!!

Next stop ... Kindergarten!!

Happy 5th Birthday Kyle!

Hard to believe my "baby" is FIVE!

Grandma Chris' came through with some cold hard cash, Aunt Cindy gave him some cool new clothes.

And our little rock star got a guitar from Aunt Melissa and a Zune from Dave & I to rock out on!

Kyle's first day of Preschool

Kyle has been waiting for this day for so long!!  Last night he laid out all his clothes and was so excited to start preschool "tomorrow".  He did have some trouble this morning because he thought preschool was supposed to start "tomorrow" but now it's "today".  He has a bit of trouble with the concept of "tomorrow". :)

 

My third and final Jr. Jag.  I can't believe it.  My baby is going to school and he looks so grown up.  Crazy!!

He had so much fun!!  Nothing like the first day of preschool and the first homework papers.  Kyle couldn't get to them fast enough!!

 

 

 

Three little Jr Jags.  (Eric's 1st day of preschool was quite the fiasco!)

 

Goodbye Training Wheels!

I had to go to a cub committee meeting this evening at a friends house in the neighborhood.  When I left to walk over there, Dave was working on fixing the flat tires on his bike and Kyle's bike.  The meeting lastest a whole 15 minutes and when I got back into the cul-de-sac, all the kids were out riding their bikes and Kyle, who had training wheels on his bike when I left the house, was riding his bike WITHOUT TRAINING WHEELS!  I couldn't believe it!  I mean, the other boys picked it up quickly and I know that it is a skill that my kids have always been able to master in a short period of time but Dave said that Kyle had been on the bike for about 2 minutes.  He can't start himself but he rides really well, manuevers really well and looks like he has been riding for a long time.  Looks like the Barnhisel family is officially DONE with training wheels.  Kyle was already eyeing the next bigger sized bike that is hanging up in the garage and talking about when he gets to have it. :)

Great job little buddy!!

My baby is FOUR!

Dave has been out of town for the week for work so we waited until today to have a little family birthday party for Kyle.  Can't believe my "baby" is FOUR!  His nickname has always been "baby" so Dave and I still call him that.  The sweetest thing is that he tells us that we can still call him baby even though he is a big boy now.

The best part of the whole night was after we sang Happy Birthday to Kyle we told him to make a wish and so he said "I wish I could fly to the moon with my own jet pack."  He has always talked about wanting to have a jet pack when he grows up.  We have no idea where that came from but it's something he talks about often.  Well it just so happens, that I got him a jet pack for his birthday!!!

Happy Birthday BABY!  And remember, daddy says he will always call you baby, even when you are 60 years old!

Celebrating Kyle!

Today we went down to Trafalga in Lehi to celebrate Kyle's upcoming 4th birthday!

Our best friends, the Danielson's went down there with us to play.

We did mini golfing, laser tag, climbed the rock wall, rode the carousel and some other fun rides.

Then we went to Golden Corral for some lunch ...

 ... and of course, desserts, desserts and more desserts!!

Kyle's best friend Alex got him the BEST birthday present ... a daddy spot!!!
