FIRSTS

Since this is my fiRst post...I thought I would catch everyone up on our fIrStS. This is our FiRsT picture as "The Rollo's"!!! Shad and I were married May 16, 2003. Let's just stop at this picture of "firsts" for that day (he he he). Next comes a picture of our fIRst Christmas tree... in our fiRSt apartment in Cedar City. Don't ask Shad where he got it from 'cause he's not telling. I was happy that we got a REAL Christmas tree for...lets just say... cheap...and the fresh pine smell made me feel like I was back in Ephraim. Then came our FirsT pets. Shad saw them on the news and had to have them...they are sugar gliders. Pixy and Rocky were their names and we only had them for a little over a year. They were actually really fun pets and definitely attracted a lot of attention when we had them in their fleece pouches. They were fun until we got our fiRSt dog. He is a beautiful Cocker Spaniel named Bo and he is now 3 years old! I think he is the cutest puppy I have ever seen!!! What do you think? Shad & I went on our very fIrSt cruise for our 2nd Anniversary. We met a lot of great couples on the ship and had a blast! You can tell we got some sun too...which we both love!!

Then in Sept of 2005 came a big FIRST for us...we bought our fIRSt home in Las Vegas. Here is a picture of the front of the house and we just barely finished the backyard this year. We love it here in Las Vegas and will probably end up being here for quite some time...because Shad became the FiRsT cop I could say I truly LOVED (I know cheesy - right). Well...it only took us three years of marriage but we finally carved our fIRsT pumpkin. I know you're thinking it isn't too spectacular but at least we finally got into the holiday spirit...more importantly it never got smashed in the streets at night...that's saying a lot in my neighborhood (just last month my neighbors across the street shot each other in the early morning hours...one was shot five times and the other twice. Yes, they are still alive! Now do you think we're crazy for loving Vegas... ) We also got our firSt Bull Mastiff...he is super cute too and a ginormous baby. He is 2 years old now and weighs around 130 lbs...but this is him on the FIrst day Bo and Obi met.

I still can't believe this one... the firST time I grew my hair out and it actually got passed my shoulders. It only lasted for a year and it got too heavy and started giving me headaches...but it was fun having the long locks anyway. Here is a pic that shows a couple fiRsts in the same photo...my First cop crush (as mentioned before) and my firsT pregnancy (I am almost 6 months along in this pic). We definitely had a lot more fIRsts that I can't even begin to put them all into words. These past five years have been so awesome and I'm sure there are many more FIrsTs to come.....

TO BE CONTINUED....with all of Kyson's fiRsts!!
