One of a kind

Everyone has an 'Uncle Bob!' (If not, you should. They are the best kind of Uncles.) Noone has an Uncle Bob quite like mine. He is unique and one of a kind! Today is his birthday. He is not around to celebrate his birthday but I like to think of him and what a great person he was.
What a one of a kind Uncle he was!

He was a great man. He and I were quite close. We had some great memories together:
  • He had such a love for sports. He would fly into Utah to attend some BYU football games.
  • He worked for ESPN at one time and would tell me one of a kind stories.
  • He lived in Tahoe and I would love to visit him. He worked for this Tahoe sports channel and when I went to Tahoe for a basketball camp, he put me on the show one morning.
  • I attended a celebrity golf tournament with him where I got to see him hard at work.
  • His real name is Robert (Bob, for short!) I use to call him Uncle Bobert!
  • My dad loved spending time with his brother. They have some funny stories together! They were like two peas in a pod, but one of a kind as well!
This is a picture at my Grandpas surprise party. From left to right: Aunt Jen, the MAN (my pops, Bill), GPG (Grandpa Gibson), Aunt Jen and Uncle Bobert (Uncle Bob).

This was taken at GPGs funeral. Not the best pictures but they were all I could find.

  • He was not the one that liked getting a lot of attention or having people make a big deal about him. (In fact, if he saw this I would have probably gotten into trouble. Lol! )

So here is to you, Uncle Bobert. Happy Birthday! You really were a one of a kind guy who is loved very much and missed greatly!

Welcoming Sophia Machelle!

Welcome Sophia Machelle Prinkey! Born on July 8, 2009 (07-08-09) at 07:08 am. She was 8 lbs. 15 ozs and 20 inches long. She is such a doll. She is loved so much!



Proud Parents: Shawn and Natalie Prinkey! (My sister. See any resemblance? She is the older and wiser one and I am the younger and prettier one. Lol...jk)


Proud Sisters: Emily and Addilyn

The ARMY of One, One for the ARMY!

My brother in law Shawn is in the ARMY Reserve. He got promoted to Captian. We now call him "CP" (Captian Prinkey). WOOOHOOO!


Most of the Gibson gang (including former Gibsons too!) went to celebrate his promotion.

We are an ARMY of ONE!

They had an ARMY promotional awards ceremony for him. It was neat!

#1 for Shawn and the ARMY.


Afterwards, we had a PARTY to celebrate his new rank. My sister knows how to throw parties. The theme was "Red, White and Blue". All of the attendees had to either wear Red, White and Blue or Camo. Every little detail fit together so perfectly. The party was a big hit. GO Nat GO!


ARMY WIFE: Don't confuse your rank with my authority! AWESOME...


Grandkids: Look how cute they are!


Kenny and I: We LOVE dress up parties!
