At the beginning of October a cat arrived outside our house. We fostered her for several days, and then we had to return her to APET on base. She was a beautiful white kitten, but she started hissing and Ryan was very allergic to her. On Thursday of this week, a puppy arrived on our doorstep. She is about 6 weeks old with white fur and black markings. She is very tiny, probably about 2 lbs. We don't know if we will be able to keep her, but we are enjoying her in the meantime. Her are some photos of her sleeping in my lap!The Bippert Family Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09677280768879099940noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1241038396405206533.post-18843541541947416732010-10-23T16:26:00.000-07:002010-10-23T16:26:43.534-07:00Ryan's 4th Birthday PartyOur little boy turned four on October 2nd, which happened to fall on a Saturday this year. We invited all of his friends to his birthday party at the Jungle Zone on base. Ryan wanted to have a "Diego" themed party, because we were going to be in the jungle and Diego likes the jungle.

Hiking is not by any means new to Ryan... He has hiked a few mountains and strolled on many trails. This hike was his first walking by himself with no stroller in tow.

What is happening in our world, Who, What I think, How I feel, grow and change, Where, and Why... How to live a Christian Life... Walk with God... This is where my mind/heart is wondering today. <br />
<br />
God grant me the serenity<br />
To accept the things I cannot change,<br />
Courage to change the things I can,<br />
And the wisdom to know the difference.<br />
<br />
Living one day at a time,<br />
Enjoying one moment at a time,<br />
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,<br />
Taking, as Jesus did,<br />
This sinful world as it is,<br />
Not as I would have it,<br />
Trusting that He will make all things right<br />
If I surrender to His will,<br />
That I may reasonably happy in this life<br />
And supremely happy with Him forever in the next.<br />
<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">Here are some photos of our new house in Rosamond, CA. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">We will not be moving into the new house until June, but we are super excited about living off base! The house has 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, laundry room upstairs, fenced in backyard, completely landscaped, 3 car garage, formal living and dining rooms, an upstairs loft, and a sprinkler, intercom and alarm system. The house we purchase was a model home, so we bought it fully decorated with paint and pictures on the wall. All of the house plants came with the house as well. 25 house plants! I am going to be very busy watering! Enjoy the photos and come and visit us!</span><br />

Our friends the Odom's hosted a birthday party for their youngest daughter Ava Claire on Sunday. Ava Claire's older brother Jackson, his best bud William, and my oldest Ryan played so nicely together all afternoon. They entertained themselves by going on a "Bear Hunt" in the bouncy castle (thanks Jules), playing in the sandbox, eating cupcakes, and finally - playing "peek-a-boo" in the family's hammock. These 3 and 4 year old boys just giggled when we all took their pictures and told them how sweet they were. It was another one of those special moments I was glad to have gotten on film! Thanks for the invite Jules!<br />

"Mommy, Mommy can we go to the red tunnel park?" "After your nap, Ryan." "Ok Mommy." So here is Ryan in the red tunnel slide... a gorgeous Southern California day in the desert. Ryan travels down the slide like he normally does, then trips when he lands - and ends up hurting his bottom. Ryan to Mommy, "Mommy will you kiss my bottom?" Mommy to Ryan, (trying not to laugh and cry at the same time) "How about I give you a kiss on the cheek instead?" "Ok Mommy!" We kiss and Ryan runs away and plays with the other little boys on the swings... These are the moments I treasure! They grow up so fast!<br />

Ryan chose to take Spencer with us to get his hair "trimmed." I, his loving mother, instructed the hairstylist to trim his golden locks and make him "look nice" for his up coming Easter photos... I think she got a bit scissor happy, because Ryan wound up with the same haircut as his pal Spencer! I tried not to cry in front of him... He seems to really like it! He laughs and says, "Mommy it is spikey!" Next step - head to the BX to find a suitable hat!</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp_u0EFMohXW-0mTYB8rNTUZKHEqY1O_deqbGg-BAfhIEa7KVcHfsZKYPeYr-Dj8Wlln3RnnY5k07qW0Mr4Hw-B4ZW1oI-H-iUzz-oMCRLVzapr5xN5l7R1L6Fif_Gugz-RIlfsZMW96dI/s1600-h/IMG_5092+copy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp_u0EFMohXW-0mTYB8rNTUZKHEqY1O_deqbGg-BAfhIEa7KVcHfsZKYPeYr-Dj8Wlln3RnnY5k07qW0Mr4Hw-B4ZW1oI-H-iUzz-oMCRLVzapr5xN5l7R1L6Fif_Gugz-RIlfsZMW96dI/s320/IMG_5092+copy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449570403937655554" /></a><b><div style="text-align: center;">At the house with Flat Spencer before the haircut...</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></b></div><div><br /></div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBxSyjhm8n-B1aX0x7xLKjSOLrc49jz7PYjOqjj1vFVNhyphenhyphencHnfAs_SsHJx5vYgSYbnyIS7DzMMeM5hyycCFyBnN0Hvv-WaVjU84PkdkkkitsxRhvN8_qC7xBELmXHMVDcicHdeo9QzjaO3/s1600-h/IMG_5081+copy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBxSyjhm8n-B1aX0x7xLKjSOLrc49jz7PYjOqjj1vFVNhyphenhyphencHnfAs_SsHJx5vYgSYbnyIS7DzMMeM5hyycCFyBnN0Hvv-WaVjU84PkdkkkitsxRhvN8_qC7xBELmXHMVDcicHdeo9QzjaO3/s320/IMG_5081+copy.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449570398703867410" /></a><b><div style="text-align: center;">Ryan and Emily's Current Relationship and a Mommy's Love</div></b></div><div><br /></div><div>Here are my two beautiful, remarkable, wonderful children of 18 months and 3 years - Emily and Ryan Bippert, respectively....
