Saturday, the 4th, Brooke and I headed up to the traditional 4th of July destination: Our Cabin. The ride was, as always with this girl, enjoyable.
We joined the rest of the group up there and were in for a wonderful day. One of my favorite surprises of the day: Horseback riding. The Neff's stopped by for a visit and let me and Jenny take a ride. I loved it, although a little hesitant when Jenny made them go trotting down the road, I might have fallen off and died, but still fun.
The rest of my afternoon was spent laying here reading...
...and relaxing...
... and loving the beauty, sounds, and calmness of my surroundings...
Sleeping Beauty finally awoke from her nap and joined me. We cuddled like two bugs in a rug (don't be jealous!).
Dinner time rolled around and little did I know what we had in store for the event. But it involved this cute girl... 
These fun girls (note the twinner hair-do's, braids courtesy of Yours Truly)...
My cute mom (although, she was mostly the audience)...
We got a little crazy...
And then this happened. In order to get in the Ro-De-O Spirit, Jenny provided country music and shortly after, singing and dancing ensued. We all had our pseudo microphone and were loving every minute of it...
Almost as much as this guy, he was loving it, can't you tell? (So not amused)
The time came that we were off to Oakley...
We were so excited to be there! Cowboys here we come!
All the girls...
Shannon and Ashlee drove up to join in the fun. I was so glad they came to join us! They are some of my favorite people.
My beautiful sister Brooke!
The girls so excited for the rodeo to start.
The Crew: (left to right) Brooke, Me, Shanon, Ashlee, Jake, Candice, Jenny, and Karlee.
These two girls were so much fun to hang out with. Being almost 16, they were a little boy crazy and all those cowboys were making them so happy.
Loving the experience! I was so happy to be there with these two, they always make everything so fun!
Isn't she stunning? Seriously, I should learn to not take pictures next to her.
I love my mom! I was so glad to be there with her.
The 4th just wouldn't be complete without some fireworks!
The girls headed back up to the cabin for a sleep over after. Another dance party broke out during our midnight snack.
Overall it was a PERFECT 4th of July! I can't think of a single thing I would change to make it better! I love July and the celebrations, it just makes me happy. It also makes me appreciate the wonderful blessing it is to live in America and enjoy the freedoms I do. Being able to celebrate that freedom and honoring the many men and women who fought and died for that makes me so proud to be an American!

Sounds so fun! Nothing like a good rodeo, family and fireworks for the fourth!
Such a great way to spend the Fourth. I'll take any opportunity to hang out with the Jensens! I'd have to say y favorite part was the rodeo royalty hand wave and in close second is your mom's dance moves. Love it!
I think you all look so cute in the pictures! Looks like a great time. But I did think of one thing that would have made your holiday celebrating much better....ME! ;)
Wow. Nice work documenting. It all looks like a fabulous time! Just imagine how much MORE fun if I had been there for it all.
And I love your bang-less hair. You are beautiful.
Jill, well done on documenting the 4th. And you are far to nice to say those things about me! I always think the same thing about you! :)
It looks like you all had a wonderful time. I guess the feelings of loving the cabin came after the weekend. I am glad the Rodeo was fun. I am sorry we missed it. Better luck next time. FYI...You are so cute in the pictures. Brooke....just so-so!
Glad you had such a great 4th---thanks for documenting for us!! Loved your pics and your cowboy hat!!!
