Introducing.....The G Family! Part 1. Mama & Papa.

I'm still new at this Blogger stuff and I'm always so inspired by everyone's super cool personalized blogs where they can put stuff like this right on the front page.  But alas, after an hour or so of looking at tutorials on how to customize my blog, change backgrounds, edit fonts, etc.  I gave up.

Computer stuff is not my forte, along with sewing, crocheting, patience, and hugging people I don't know.  So my blog is what it is, unless someone out there wants to help me? ;)

So our intro will go here.  In a blog, cause I know how to do that without pounding my fists into the keyboard and scaring my children.  Aloha!

The Gutierrez Family

Our family's Pacific Northwest trip we took this past February. 

At infamous Gasworks Park in Seattle, WA

Introducing Mama G.  aka Hippie Housewife aka Nicole Fury

I'm Nicole Hope.  28 years old.  Pregnant with Baby G #4.

I love my family, faith and children more than anything.

I am VERY pro-life, Republican with less and less liberal leanings everyday.

I play drums for our church, can cook like a beast & slowing getting better at baking.

I like lists, order, organizing, watching Hoarders and Modern Family.

I am what you would consider a Crunchy Mama, I guess?  And some would consider me an Attachment Parent although I'd rather not be put into a mold that I might not fit into.

I cloth diaper, try to eat organic when we can afford it, [not often] & drink iced coffee pretty much 24/7.

I love reading and learning.  Currently working on my birth doula certification through DONA and looking forward to going back to college this Fall after an 8 [!] year hiatus.

This is Papa G.  aka Andy Panda aka Andy Crowder Band [did you like that one babe? ;]

Also 28 years old.  Praise & Worship leader for our church, Risen Lord Community Church

and better at it than he would ever let himself believe.

Never voted in his life, tsk tsk.  Likes to eat everything I cook and also washes all our cloth diapers.  

We met in high school as Juniors and from the minute I saw his thrift store puffy vest and corduroys I knew it was love.  It took him another year or so to agree.

Loves music, playing the guitar & his children.  God gave one of us patience and it wasn't me.

Enjoys road trips, juicing, tapping on EVERYTHING, gardening,

 and being the spiritual leader of our home.

This man can calm my anxiety like no other and I truly believe we were intended for each other by God.  This year we celebrated our 10 year dating anniversary, which he says "doesn't count" and will celebrate our 8 year wedding anniversary this November.

Song of Solomon 4:7 ♥
How beautiful you are, my love; how perfect you are!

So I guess for now I'll start off with us!

The kids will be in the next edition, since I noticed this was getting a bit long.

I think I'm getting a little too excited for this blogging adventure cause I've started a list of "fun topics to blog about" that and I'm always looking for a reason to make a list.

Recipes to come soon as well!
