10 Reasons Toni is the Absolute Best:
- Whenever I visit Toni, I can always count on cookies. She always always ALWAYS has cookies. She always tells me the way she messed them up, but they are always delicious!
- Toni went to school to be an accountant. That's right - she's so smart she made it through the Marriott School of Business, unscathed and awesome. She's great!
- Toni is a reader! I love that someone understands my passion for reading and even defends it to my well-meaning mother. She also gives me hope that as a mother, I will be able to put the book down and take care of the babes!

- She is the most thoughtful gift-giver. She honestly tries to think about you would want. She agonizes over it and always remembers your special holidays.

- Speaking of special holidays, Toni actually celebrates Kelli's Day with me! Like with cards and confetti sent to me. It's always so nice! What a sweet girl.

- Toni is so welcoming. Sage and Toni were always so kind when I lived in Provo, and I never felt like I was intruding, or making them annoyed no matter how often I wondered over to their home. I was always welcome, even though I often just fall asleep on their couch! #lamesister
- Toni is an awesome sister. Despite the hardness of traveling alone with children, Toni has made her way down to Utah with her young children to support me in my life. Like for the Taylor Swift concert and again when I graduated. Sage can't always make it down because of work, but Toni comes anyway because she loves me!

- Which leads me to say that Toni is a great mom. She is doing all kinds of stuff to help those babies of hers succeed. Like starting her own home-school preschool to Aubrey and all the other neighbor children get ready for school. Isn't she amazing?
- Toni is also a fun mom! She's always doing fun thing with the babies! Case in Point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUHAY8uArUQ
- She is full of genuine love and nurturing those around her! When I was getting ready to leave, and I couldn't handle the stress of packing up and sorting through all of my junk. Toni sat down with me and helped me form a plan. She did this in-between patiently teaching my dad some accounting principles and keeping her children entertained. Isn't she great?!
I'm so glad Toni and I get to be sisters because she is the BEST!
Love you Bones! Happy Birthday!
Kelli you are too sweet! Thank you for this post and making me sound better than I am. :) You're the best!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a great summary of a great woman, mother, and wife. Well said Kelli! -Sage
ReplyDeleteOh my lands... this is adorable and all so true! I was telling Camilla the other day that she chose to be the first baby in our family so she could lead the way and teach all the other babies that came after, like Henry. Thanks for doing that in our family Toni! We all owe you one.
