February SC Trip

A few fun Things for You to know...

-Seth's favorite candy apparently is Peanut M&M's (I never knew it in all our years together.  I just recently found this out!)-

-When purchasing a home Seth and I have decided that we will be picky regarding two things 1. The kitchen (it has to be large and spacious, lots of storage, loads of counter space, and an inviting atmosphere) and 2. The Master Bathroom with His and Her sinks-

-I like to brush my teeth with warm water.  Seth likes cool water.  We somehow seem to ALWAYS brush our teeth at the same time; therefore we are always turning the water and getting slightly frustrated with the other for turning that said water to the preferable cool/warm.-

-Oddly enough, Seth and I are more of a breakfast or lunch date type of couple.- 

-Our next fun purchase in life will be a dehydrator :).  Man oh man I can't wait!-

Now moving along to the remainder of our trip to South Carolina!

Which mainly involved This little guy...

His mom totally told him to smile for Auntie E and she got a chuckle out of him because he was so excited to send me a picture :).

I may have just made that story up, but isn't he precious??

After spending the weekend with Seth's family, we traveled back to my parents to enjoy an afternoon with my whole family.

Sweet Mackay with his Aunt Macka.

Mackay and Gammaw

It appears in my previous post I had the wrong name for what Mackay will call my Momma.  I may or may not prefer Ganma.  Just as I may or may not prefer Auntie E.  Either way it doesn't matter, we will allow sweet Mackay to call us whatever he wishes :).

My cousins JohnThomas and Carsyn hanging out and chit chatting about life.

It was so great to see all my family that we haven't seen in 7 months!  Everyone was looking good and we had a wonderful time catching up and cooing over Mackay.

During the week we were able to visit my grandparents in Union as well as Seth's Nana & Grandmother in Camden.

Nanny meeting and Holding Mackay for the first time.

During our trip my Nanny was participating in Rehab after breaking her leg.  She looked great and appeared to be working hard with Rehab and recovering. She is now back at home!

After visiting with my Nanny, we headed out for lunch with my Pops to a local Southern BBQ joint in Union.  Man o Man was it divine.  I got a BBQ Chicken plate with fried okra, baked beans, Mashed potatoes/gravy, Cornbread, and Peach Cobbler.  I  got pretty full pretty quick, but I tell you what I ate that WHOLE ENTIRE plate.  I wasn't letting any of that yumminess go to waste.

Now, I love okra.  Love Okra.  LOOOOOVE okra. love OKKKKra.  It is on my top list of missed items from South Carolina.  That joint in Union was just delightful and I'd recommend it to anyone.  I do very much plan to eat there again.

Now our trip to Camden to visit with Seth's Nana & Grandmother.

Now with this Zach kid.  He is now twice the size of Seth (not literally, I'm exaggerating a tad).  He has grown up so much and we are all pretty impressed with this fella.  While in Camden we were able to see Zach's crib and his not to shabby work truck.

While in South Carolina, Seth and I attempted to make a few things we love for my parents.  We tried pizza, biscuits, blueberry pie, and cookies this trip.  Nothing compared to what we make back home :(.  Seth and I were pretty disappointed with all that we made, but we've come to the conclusion that we cook better in our own home-with our own pots/pans/utensils and ingredients.

My semi-annual Troupe picture.  

As many of you can see this dog just continues to get fatter and fatter in between each visit :).  My daddy gives him WAY to many treats!

One day my parents took me shopping in Greenville.  It was a beautiful warm sunny day.  We shopped, ate good, and I finally got to see what the big hype was regarding Trader Joe's!  After purchasing a few things to ship back to Utah, we realized (once we had gotten back to Utah) that Salt Lake City just opened a Trader Joe's.  If only we'd known prior we wouldn't have purchased anything to ship to us, we would've gotten it in SLC!

It has become somewhat of a tradition every time Seth and I visit SC, that on our last evening in Joanna, my family from Irmo will travel to Clinton and we'll eat dinner at Dempsey's Pizza (where my brother works).  I very much enjoy this last evening with them and at such a yummy place to eat.

The Sinclair's, Greer, and Sineath's at Dempsey's :).

After two years of not having family pictures taken with my family, we FINALLY updated our family photos!

Mom & Dad with their kiddo's and GBaby.

Look-a-likes ;).

The Sineath Clan :).

We had such a great visit to SC!  We got to visit with most of our buddies.  I got to see Beth and meet her little Abagail, visit with my good ol bud Laurie, and have a Valentine Date with my fav Sarah.  Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of those visits :(.  We got to see most our families, which was much needed!  And meet our little joy of a nephew Mackay.

Very much miss this little Stud.

What a cutie he is.

Even though we hated to leave everyone, it was such a nice sight to come over the hill and see our Valley.

Absolutely Beautiful.

Well that concludes our recent SC Trip!  Hope y'all enjoy the pictures and Have a great week :)!

The Cook's :)--Plus a little Sineath :).
