Monday was our belated 4th of July celebration. The whole Jensen crew (plus some welcomed others: Shannon, Karlee, and Justin). The evening was filled with wonderful food, good company, and an excellent firework show.
I had my pleasure of some great one-on-one time with some of my nieces and nephews. I just love them all to pieces! I am not quite sure how I am going to handle the transition from everyday life with them to not seeing them so often. It makes me tear up just thinking about that.
Kids are everywhere with any Jensen gathering, but always so fun!
Grandma Teri is for sure in her element among her kids and grandkids. She just loves it all.
The boys were so excited for the fireworks, from smoke bombs, to crackle-ers in the bucket, to parachutes and the main event. Their faces in this picture pretty much depict their happiness.
There was lots of help with the fireworks, we just couldn't get them out and done fast enough for the kids.
Does this picture not scream "old people"? Just kidding, but it does pretty much illustrate the "grandparent" role of these two, and luckily they love it.
The night was capped off with an exciting firework display. The boys loved sitting on the curb watching. Their excitement for it all reminded me of the joy of being a kid, those were the days when the simplest of things were the greatest. I should work on seeing things in my life like that.
Overall it was a great night and so fun to get together. Trent and Amy sure know how to throw a party and are so nice to always share their house. I'm a bit nostalgic that it will no longer be my house and I don't get to be a part of their everyday life anymore. I was so lucky to get to live there for so long and be there to be involved with their cute kids so much. I am going to miss it all! (Can you tell I've hit the realization that this phase of my life is almost over? Sadness.)

I loved all your pictures. You got so many cute ones! It is sad that you are leaving us. I don't like to think about it...
Looks like tons of fun, but don't you have a house to close on today?
You are such a cute aunt. And I love that picture of the "old folks". They deserve sit back and enjoy life now.
Such a fun day!
