Oh Baby!!


Dixie rolled in cow poop... it was awful to say the least!!
Lake Jennie at dusk.. isn't it beautiful!!
Emmaline was entered in a contest for the Hattiesburg American newspaper... It is called the Oh Baby photo contest.. there are A LOT of babies entered.. guess it is a big deal?! Anyways, you can vote for Emma if you want.. it does cost money to vote so don't do it unless you just want to.. It is for a Baby Calendar they are doing in Mississippi...

Emma is Baby #112... you can go here to see her picture:

Her picture should be first, but if not, go to the right side and type in her number or you can scroll around to see them all!!


We are excited about hanging out at home this weekend and getting some cleaning done.. Also, we plan on finishing the deck benches out and planting some millet for deer season!! Daniel took off Tuesday and stayed at home with us.. it was great.. we went to Laurel and shopped and had lunch! Emma has been doing great lately.. she is eating so well; she eats solids 3 times a day and has been sleeping better too!! Still no teeth!! Hope it all continues!!


Hope the Aggies and Bama come back strong this weekend!!

Rain rain....

is welcome to stay... It has poured here today and we enjoyed it all.. I really love the rain on those lazy days and you can't beat it while watching from a nice big porch! Emma loves it too!! We had a great weekend in Alabama.. Emma slept for like 10 hours straight in the hotel room.. I told Daniel we may have to move in! We met up with our friends who tailgate with the RVs... and there was a playmate for Emma.. The Quad was really fun and full of fans and crazy people! Gameday was also in Tuscaloosa and we tried to get Emma on tv. So what if our teams lost this week, there is always next week and more football and fun to watch!! Here are a few pictures...



Daddy & Emma (look at her expression, what attitude!)
Amelia (7 months), Lulu, and Emma (6 months), and then Emma and Mommy at Gameday!!

Emma is now sitting up perfectly by herself, likes sitting in the highchairs at restaurants, and is now officially crawling.. She isn't very swift, but can get wherever she wants!! It is so precious to watch and she is making new and louder noises, too! We are so proud of her and love seeing her change daily..

Emma wearing her "outfit" from the Sicilian cousins we met on our honeymoon... They sent her this whole outfit.. socks, shoes and beret included.. Also, the sweet bracelet you can kindof see, it has her name engraved on it!! I think she is lucky she is American and isn't required to wear a beret on a regular basis!!

Gig 'em Ags & Roll Tide

GIG 'EM AGGIES!! ESPN tonight at 6:30

Emma is so excited about watching her Aggies beat the hell outta Miami; let's hope for the best!
Emma loves the new pool Ma-Ma gave her... it has all kinds of toys to go with it!! And Mommy can get a tan while Emma is in the shade!!

Emma even likes to try and swim around in the pool.. I think it is helping her crawl!!
Emma & Mommy enjoying the great Fall weather.. in the mornings it's in the low 50s and the high is in the low 80s!! Can't beat that!!
This weekend the Listis are heading to Tuscaloosa for some football.. we all get to watch Bama beat the Bulldogs, eat some Dreamland BBQ, and show off Emma's cute BAMA gear!!
We are excited to see Ronnie and Lulu and can't wait to hang out in their nice RV.. we also can't wait for the family to come and see a game with us!!

This face makes me laugh so hard... what do you think she was thinking???



We had visitors to Louin!!! It was so great to spend a weekend with Marigene and Daniel's friend, Chad, who now lives in Biloxi. We had a fun time playing Catchphrase for hours, hanging out by the fire, enjoying the cool air (it was 52 degrees here on Sunday morning), eating at Daveys, and of course watching football!!

Emma had her 6 month check up today..She has gained 2 pounds and weighs 16 and a half pounds.. she has grown 1 inch and is 26 and a half inches long..

She is still in the 75th percentile for height and 50th for weight!!

Wild Weekend!!

Emma is now 6 months old!!! She is almost crawling and scoots around all over.. She was so excited to see Dixie and Gauge!
She goes to the dr. next week for a height/weight update!

Mason wedding: Beau, Chuck, Daniel, Andy, Mike, Jimmy, Tim

Daniel is 28 now!! I know he had a fun celebration at the wedding with everyone!Chuck & Pepper Kroll - Congrats to them! It was so much fun!
Carrie, Stephanie, Christian & Erica


The wedding in Mason was great... It started at 6:30 on Saturday, which if you don't recall was during the 2nd OT of the Aggie game. It was pretty funny to think about all the guys having to leave to go take pictures at the wedding while the girls stayed in the room to watch the game! We get to the wedding and the guys are still over by the trucks listening to the game on the radio.. Fortunately, the Aggies won!! It was fun to catch up with everyone at the wedding and hang out.. Big thanks to all the grandparents for taking care of Emma while we relaxed..


Now we are back in Mississippi and ready to welcome Gene to Louin for the weekend!

More babies to play with and Football is here!

Kayden, Kylee, Emma, Blake & Lauren

We were able to finally introduce Kylee Harms and Emma... and Blake and Lauren were there too!! It was fun to see all the babies at the different stages and looking so much like their dads! It looks like Emma is wearing a toupee - her hair just started to lie down and looks so funny to me!!


Amy and Avery Cornett came to visit and we had so much fun with them swinging and having icecream! Early Happy Birthday to Avery who will be 1 this month!!












Brett Tyler, Emma's cousin, came over on Saturday and went swimming with us! He is so sweet with her and always gives her kisses! They are so cute together!










We also had fun on Saturday parading around town in Aggie gear! Emma looked so cute in her onesie- she even gave me a little Whoop!
