Stripper fishing

Daddy, Shannen, and I went fishing this week. Once we got there, we got the boat in the water. Then Daddy drove the car up and parked it. After that we all got in the boat and drove to a deep spot and started fishing. After a hour I caught my first fish. Ten minutes later I caught my second fish. Five minutes later I caught my third fish. Daddy said, "how are you getting them so fast?" I said, "I don't know." A couple minutes past then Daddy caught a fish. Ten minutes past I caught my fourth fish. Then I caught two more fish. And then Daddy caught 3 more. But Shannen didn't catch any. But he was happy anyway. Then we went home.

The Wedding

I haven't had a chance to blog lately and I know you all want to hear about the wedding, so I have a few minutes and thought I would update now.

The 21st was the big day for Shyloh and Jeff, and for some of us we just wish that life could have slowed down.


Mama, Shelbie, and I slept in curlers the night beore the wedding and stayed in them the next day too. We were all embarrassed to wear them at Church (Well Shelbie and I were embarrassed, I don't know about mama, she seemed fine).
We went to the church in the morning helped set up then left. Shyloh and mama went to a hair appointment. Shyloh came back looking like a angei. Her hair was beautiful. Mama's hair was very pretty too. Shelbie and I took out our hair and looked like a poodle. It wasn't a very pretty sight.
When we went back to church Annie did Shelbie's and my hair. She made us look WAY better then we did. She was a LOT of help. We were very thankful for her help. Shyloh was getting very nervous and anxious. All of us brides maids already had our dresses on by 5:15. At 5:30 Shyloh went to put her dress and couldn't find her hoop that goes under the dress. We checked the van a ton of times, and still didn't find it. Daddy drove all the way back to Shyloh's house and got it for her. He got stuck in traffic on the way there. Which was bad news. We where already running behind schedule, but this made it worse. He finally got there, got the hoop and got back. Shyloh got her dress on as fast as she could. All of the brides maids helped tie the back of the dress, it took 10 minutes to tie it. We all sat in the bridal room for 30 minutes talking to Shyloh encouraging her and praying with her. When it was finally time to go out Daddy was waiting for us.

He talked with Shelbie and I for awhile until it was time to walk down the isle. Butch and I were the first to go down the isle, then Annie and Jeremiah went down, then Shelbie walked down (she was the maid of honor). Then last, but not least Shyloh and Daddy came down. She was beautiful in her gown and everything about her. Her eyes sparkled with happiness and joyfulness. We were all so happy for her. When Jeff took her arm I just prayed that they would have a wonderful marriage and a great honey moon.

The reception was so so so pretty. We are all so happy for them. The wedding was just amazing. They were so happy that everyone showed up and blessed for all the gifts. It was the wedding of her dreams. (The colors of the wedding were purple and pink).

Faith, Hope, and Shiloh

I was going to blog about this 5 weeks ago, but I forgot. So here it is. About 5 weeks ago Shelbie found a 1 week old baby sparrow. She brought it in side and feed feed it. When it turned 3 weeks old and she know that it would live she named it "Faith" (for she had faith in God that it would live). It is now 6 weeks old and almost off of bird formula.

Just yesterday we went to aunt Lynette's house, why we were there we found 2 baby sparrow. We brought them home feed them also and put them with Faith. They soon became Friends with
Faith. They are about 2 weeks old. Shelbie named hers "Hope" and I named mine "Shiloh" (Shyloh wanted one named after her). Jackie doesn't like any of them and every time she is with them she pecks them. When they are moved to her cage to she is going to have to get used to them. Here are some pics.

Meet Sarah

The other night I woke up in the middle of the night with a really weird looking thing on my bed. My first thought was "What is that!!". Apparently I said it out loud. Shyloh was right there ( she hadn't gone to bed yet) she said it was her new dog. It was on the front porch so she brought it in and gave it a bath. It is a mutt and everyone thinks it is really ugly, but I think it really cute.

Her name is "Sarah". She is really sweet. I call her mine =). We really like each other. Shyloh gave her to me last night, but Daddy says if she leaves it here he will bring it to the pound. I wish he would let me have her, but Shyloh likes her too. Here are some Pics. of her.

Meet "Herbie"

A while back when Shyloh and Jeff told Poppet that they were getting a house, Shyloh joked around and told Poppet that she could live with them (big mistake since she is only 4)!

Poppet didn't know that she was joking and thought she was seriously. A couple weeks later when Shyloh told her she was joking poppet started to cry. Daddy called her over and whispered something in her ear and said "don't tell anyone!" We all soon figured out what Daddy told poppet. He told her if she would stay with us and not move with Shyloh he would buy her a Chihuahua! After he told her that she didn't want to go with Shyloh anymore.

It has been about 2 months after he said that. The other day Mama, Daddy, Aunt Lynette, and Uncle Micah brought Poppet down to the "store". When they arrived at the "store" there was a pen full of baby Chihuahua's! She picked out one that was white and with a patch around it's eye.

She named it "Herbie". He is only half Chihuahua's, which made it even cuter. He is only 6 weeks old.

R.I.P. Molly and Lizzie

After the last post that I posted about everything in the Ney house, something tragic happened. We have been noticing that every time Shelbie would bring her sparrows inside, Lizzie felt cold. We were praying for her and hoped nothing would happen to her. Later Tuesday night Shelbie brought them inside. Lizzie felt cold again, Shelbie turned on the heating pad and tried to feed them. When she fed Lizzie, she started to wheeze, threw her food back up, and flopped around. Within 5 minutes she died. Shelbie cried hard. She loved her. For the rest of the day Shelbie was down. Later that day I was putting Molly and Jackie together in Molly's cage. My brother asked if he could hold one, when I said "no" he reached for Molly on my shoulder. She got scared and flew off my shoulder, she went flying straight to the living room. She flew right into the fan, she fell down to the ground. I ran over there and picked her up. She had a broken neck and maybe more injuries. She also died within 4 minutes. It all happened so fast that I couldn't do anything. I ran up stairs crying, and showed her to Mama and Shelbie. I told Mama the whole story and could barley talk. If you talk about them to Shelbie she will still cry. We know that God is not a cruel God and we know he allowed it for a reason. We just pray that he will show us soon. We also pray that my brother doesn't feel guilty because of this. Please pray for us, for Shelbie, and for my brother. Thank you.

Ney Family Update

Well I haven't blogged for a long time, but here is a update on the Ney family......

Mollie and Lizzie
About 3 weeks ago me, Daddy, Shelbie, Shyloh, and Jeff went to aunt Lynette's and uncle Micah's house, why we were there aunt Lynette told me that she had something to show me. She brought me inside and opened a little shoe box. Inside the box was a baby sparrow. She said it had fallen out of it's nest and uncle Micah found it, put it in a box, and she wanted to give it to me. Daddy said I could take it home and surprisingly he thought it was very cute.
I told Shelbie that she could have it because I had Jackie. We found out it was a girl and Shelbie named it "Mollie".
A week latter Mama came in our room and woke us up and said that she heard a lot of noise in the front. She went outside to look and there was a little baby sparrow only 1 week younger then the other. Shelbie and I agreed to share it. It was also a girl! We named it "Lizzie".
We named her that because it was a "IE" name and also because Jackie was named after "Jack Sparrow" from Pirates of the Caribbean. And Lizzie was named after "Elizabeth Swan" from Pirates of the Caribbean (Lizzie for short). Molly was going to be ether "Willie" (Will Turner) or "Davie" (Davie Jones) if she was a boy. We think she might be a boy because her coloring was a little weird, but we are now 95% sure she is a girl.

Mollie is the one one the right and Lizzie is the one on the left.

WE MISS YOU SHYLOH!!!
For the past month Shyloh has planing on going to Idaho with her friends. She left Friday night and Will be coming back on Sunday. She will be gone for 9 days. Jeff is very lonely without her. We all miss her very much. We can't wait till she gets home. All of us wrote her letters yesterday and they will arrive there on Friday. Whenever she texts or calls we all want to talk to her. We miss her very much. She wasn't even here for 4Th of July. We can't wait till she gets home. We miss you Shyloh!

4Th of July

4Th of July wasn't as fun as it would have been if Shyloh was here. It was fun tho. Uncle Micah, Aunt Lynette, and her brother Chad and sister-in-law Alison, and their kids came. Ethan is 9, and Ella is 7. Shelbie and I asked aunt Lynette if she wanted t go for a night swim ater fireworks. She said yes she would. We did the fireworks then had desert and went swimming. Just Me, Shelbie, and Aunt Lynette went swimming. The water was very cold and Shelbie and Aunt Lynette wanted to get out, so we did. 4Th of July was very fun. We had lots of fun. I hope your 4Th of July was fun too.
