I am such a dork

Can I just say something so random?
I love blogging! Not actually what I blog about but reading other peoples blogs. I could do this for hours! From fashion to Mommyhood to cooking to being craft and saving money oh my it's so fun to me I don't know why. I guess I love learning about things that I've always admired but never had anyone to teach me about. Even just learning different ways to do things or what places have really good deals when shopping for kids. I think I am really turning into like Suzie Homemaker or something. I used to get hurt when people would tease me with that name but honestly I don't really mind anymore. If I am a stay at home mom what is better to do in my very rare free time but learn ways to brighten up the house for really cheap? Learn how to make a new recipe that's quick and easy, find really cheap earrings on etsy and see the beautiful knitted things that other mommies make, that I know someday I will have on my blog to show off.
The other day I told my friend I wanted to try an organic garden and then can the veggies and fruit. She laughed at me and said that is what her Grandma used to do. I don't know why but this kind of thing really sounds fun to me. I don't know if it's just the kind of girl I am or if it's because my own mom was domestically challenged. Either way, I can't wait to post pics of the pillows and curtains I plan to make. As far as the garden goes, I will keep ya posted. It's just now spring in the NW and still some very cold mornings.

Life

So here I am back in the NW. I keep saying Oregon even though it's actually Washington. But it's right over the bridge so I still go to Oregon all the time. Anyway the kids are great. Gabriella is in school and seems to like it. The boys have been talking about and wanting to go so bad but with the whole process I have to do with them it's been taking a little while so they're starting on the 6th. They'll have pretty much the same schedule except no fridays. We have a townhouse.

It's only two bedrooms but they're just fine for us for now. And we have a garage which makes it so much easier, we have a lot of junk.
I have been able to visit with family and it's all been really good! Javier's Mom is coming home soon and I know that will be so awesome. He's still looking for work but right now we're still doing good! I've been able to get more done than I would've been able to if he were at work that's for sure!
I've decided on Cosmetology school for sure I just need the right timing because of the job thing and the kids being out of school soon.
It feels a little different than I thought it would being back but it's pretty nice. I miss Tulsa though. The peace and quiet and the calm. But it's really nice to see people I know. Anyway not a lot to say but here are a couple pics of the new place and one of the boys playing on the stairs. Oh and notice I painted my ugly gold mirror!
