Halloween Fun!

I was sick on Halloween which was pure torture...I had the flu AND a urinary tract infection that spread to my bloodstream. Talk about sick! My boys still had a blast though and although I tried to talk them into dressing alike as always, they picked Bumblebee and Army Man!
The school also held a fall festival so we went there with some friends and Ace went to his first "haunted house."

The boys always look so happy in their pictures. That is something I will never be able to forget. They have made my life worth living and the little moments I will treasure forever.

Happy Halloween - a little late :)

Love, The Jacksons

The Task Of Moving

The View makes it all worth it, right?
We brought this trailer - three times!

Of course the boys were a big help...picking flowers from my garden.

This is what is left...yes, poor pitiful me!

Kitchen Area

So, I know these are pretty much just blank rooms. I promise there is more to come... I have been working so hard. In between moving and working, I still haven't managed to do much...but it will come together eventually.

A Trip To The Zoo

We took a trip to the zoo back in September when DJ was on vacation, but I never posted the pictures. The boys had an absolute blast. We also went to the fair, but for some reason I didn't take a single picture! Too much fun I suppose :)

My three little monkeys had a great time visiting one big monkey! :)
The boys looked so cute in their Titans gear!

New And Improved!

So, I realize that most of you have forgotten about me completely due to lack of posting so let me just go ahead and tell you - I'M SORRY!

We moved jobs, switched schools, sold a house, bought a house, and had a few minor complications along the way, but we are finally settled a bit! I thought about my blog daily mainly because this is the perfect escape for me... So, let me say this - I am back, but not the same me. I am a better me. I learned things about myself over the last two months that I didn't even know I could. I learned that a few things in my life had a hold of my mind and it was making me less of a mom, wife, and friend. I also realized that I am a "people pleaser." I couldn't be my complete self - even on the blog - because I didn't like who I truly was.

There wasn't something that happened or something that was said or some magical moment...it just happened and I am happy with who I am today. I'm content with my life, I'm thankful for what God has given me, and I'm at a good place.

So, here I am - and this is my new blog starting today. "Life In The Fab Lane" was started in hopes that I could share a little piece of my life, but my new blog, "Ashley's Avenue", is all about me - the good parts, the bad parts, and everything in between. You will find a more opinionated Ashley, but I am still me. I will still post about my adorable boys and my amazing husband, but I will also whine about the little things that get on my last nerve because I am not perfect. I am not here to sugarcoat my life or make myself look good - I am here to share my journey with all of my readers.

So, if you want to walk with me along Ashley's Avenue then come right along. This may not be easy street, but the view is quite nice! :)
