What we have done now to the Remodeling of the House!!

Dustin and his dad have been working hard on the house. They have done so much in a short time spanned. Can't believe how beautiful our house is coming along. I love it more and more each day. Just the thought of coming home every day to something new. Here are some pictures of what all they have done along with some before and after pictures.

Before picture of the wall along with the Kitchen bookshelf thing. As you see in this picture above where the cabinet is at is where we have now built a bar area. Now it looks like the picture to the right. All custom tile and steel pipe beams. Along with our granite counter tops.
As you see closer the granite counters and a bar sink. Along with our beautiful cabinets. Which will also be going into our Kitchen as well.

Then you have Dustin's custom built wine rack and wine glass holder he built. It's all built out of steel.
We also got a pool this weekend!! Something to stay cool during our Texas heat! Looking forward to a summer filling with lots of food, cold beer, cool pool to float in and great friends and family to enjoy it with us!!

New Babies Four legged ones that is!!

We have a new addition to the Marroquin family. We would like y'all to meet her.
HI!! My name is Bella short for Isabella. I'm a daddy's girl!!
 We love our three four legged kids more than anything!! For now we have Annie the Dog, Ali the Cat, and Bella the baby kitten. The cats get along great and keep each other company when we are at work. Annie and Bella get a long great! Bella loves being outside. Although I think she is still to little to go out by herself. As for Ali I believe she will always be an inside cat.

Our new baby in the yard!! It's only a few days old when this picture was taken!!

I noticed this morning that we now have two baby deer in the yard!!

What a cute little thing!!
It's nice to see the life cycle happening this spring in our front yard. Yes, I will still go hunting in the fall for a buck! LOL it's all about the world going around!!

Jeremy's High School Prom

Dustin's younger brother Jeremy who is a Junior in High School went to prom the second weekend of May. He took his sweet beautiful girlfriend on three months Katie with him. It was at the TPC Marriot of San Antonio. This hotel is amazing and so big! Lucky them who got to have prom there!! Dustin's mom who was on the prom commity and was there for the night. We decided to go crash the prom!! Note Dustin and I have both been out of high school for 6 years now. Still some of the same teachers we had where there as well. So it was nice to see them. We not only crashed the party but we stayed to help tear it all down for the night. As for Jeremy and Katie they had a blast!!!
Jeremy and Katie!!

The whole group they went with. All the guys drove their TRUCKS!!
Oh yes we did have a little fun!! Jeremy's truck when he came out of prom!! It's the things we do when we love you so much Jeremy!!

Birthday and Easter

The crazy month of APRIL!!!

Lets just say we have a lot of birthday's to celebrating in this month along with Easter!! We don't have any pictures from these events but stories to tell.

We start the month off with April 2nd Dustin's Mom's Birthday, we spent the evening at a nice restaurant called Hungry Farmers. We all ate good that night with salad, steak, shrimp and all the side fixings. Along with a great big cake topped with fresh fruit. Dustin and I decided to custom create a wedding album for her to always have of our wedding day.

April 9th we celebrated Ama's Birthday(Dustin's Grandma on his mom's side), we met them for dinner at the restaurant called Maverick's Cafe, another great place to eat!! They are known for their chicken fried steak so the guys all got that along with sides and a salad. Now for the ladies we all got fried shrimp. Dustin and I got her a beautiful plant...she loves her plants and to be outside. Plus the flowers were purple her favorite color. 

As for April 23rd it was my Mom's Birthday!! We again went out to eat at a new restaurant in Spring Branch serving Italian food. Another great night out, food and the people we were with! There was about 12 of us out that night and man did we all just about order everything on the menu. So many great dishes and everything tasted so good. Dustin and I got her a custom wedding album that she can treasure for ever. The neat thing about the albums that we did for the moms they both are geared more towards their child and their side of the family. So both very different. Along with that we got her a pool float cause we all know how she loves her pool. Dustin even custom built a iron stand that hold BBQ tools and even a beer.

April 24th was Easter Sunday!! Man was that an Easter of a lot of fun and a lot of work too. We decided to have an Easter party at our house. So we had all the cleaning before and after to do but well worth it all. With everyone who came thank you!! We had about 50 people here for the day. Had a kid Easter egg hunt for them and even a pinata. Then for the adults we did an adult Easter egg hunt with a five dollar gift in the end you got. Kind of like white elephant. All in all we had a blast with our families!! Plus there was good food too!! Look forward to many more parties with the families!!

Coming to the end of the month Dustin's Dad's Birthday was April 29th. We went out to a restaurant called Firewater Grill. It is walking distance from my elementary school I work at. Celebrating the night with drinks and appetizers from chips and salsa to Buffalo wings. All so good. Dustin and I got his dad some things he needed to get closer on filling the endless list of tools a guy could want.

As we go through this crazy month, I spent the whole time on crutches from slipping and falling at work because of a wet floor on April 8th. With it being sprained and a nerve messed up. Got off of the crutches about two weeks ago now(Note it's May) LOL. Now spending three days a week at physical therapy, a cortisone shot and off to see the next doctor on June 2nd who is a nerve specialist. So we will see.  

So all in all I believe to think we had a good one. Spent a lot of time with family and eating! LOL Still we wouldn't change it for nothing!!
