Bottling

Should my beer be foamy when I bottle it because mine was not this is my first time sorry for the noob question

Not sure I understand your question:
Are you asking if it should be foamy at the time you are bottling?
If so, the answer is no. The purpose of adding the priming solution is to generate CO2 which is responsible for the foamy goodness. You store the bottles somewhere warm (70ish) for 2-3 weeks, then chill and voila nicely foamy beer.

Foamy? Do you mean having a krausen remaining on the surface. Bottling would be well after the krausen has dropped and your hydrometer confirms the specific gravity is no longer dropping.

How long was your beer fermenting before you bottled it? Sometimes you may have a stubborn krausen that refuses to drop but we need to know how long your beer was in the fermenter or if you took any gravity samples.

It was in the fermenter for two and a half weeks and I did not take a gravity sample

I prefer non-foamy when bottling because when removing bottling wand, there is perfect air space in the bottle. With foam, you'll have over-flow.

After re-reading you post and knowing it fermented for 2 weeks plus it sounds like you are fine. I do get bubbles when I bottle but I believe it's primarily due to the starsan that is still in the bottles when I fill them. Your beer should be flat when you bottle.
