"VANITY" or... "If Brianna Were a Twin"

I couldn't decide which blog post title to use for these:

Debbie said...: Is this an announcement that Brianna might have a lil brother or sister on the way?; March 11, 2009 at 10:09 PM
gilliay said...: That is an adorable post. I love that she is holding on to her bottle amidst all the fun. For some reason that made me chuckle. This would be a great idea for a professional shoot too, you can see ALL of her cuteness at once!; March 11, 2009 at 10:52 PM
chelsea mckell said...: why mom - are you saying i LOOK preg?! Thanks a lot.
Just for that, when I do get preg again someday, you'll find out via blog post like everyone else.; March 12, 2009 at 7:23 AM
Dan and Anne said...: She is so cute! I agree with your mom... she needs a little bro or sis to play with. Honestly besides the whole pregnancy thing I think another little tike would be great to entertain Beckett... then I could just read all day or do other "important" things... not sure if it will work out that way but worth the thought.; March 12, 2009 at 8:58 AM
Marilyn said...: How did you get some of these pictures? I can figure out the ones in the mirror, but some of the others do look like two separate Brianna's sitting next to each other!; March 12, 2009 at 9:24 AM
Crystal and Jordan said...: super cute!!!!; March 12, 2009 at 11:21 AM
Unknown said...: I love kids fascination with mirrors. These pictures are great she really loves herself!; March 12, 2009 at 11:29 AM
Amy Hunter said...: Those are some awesome pictures! Great photography, and a darling adorable little girl!!

In answer to your Mmm cafe question, I totally blogstalked her from you because I loved her stuff. Hope she doesn't mind. It seems like she caters to a large crowd...I'm a fan!

Any luck in the computer area? Eric and I have both mac and pc, and there are pros and cons of each. It is a tough decision! Good luck. I guess, it's a nice thing that you've probably got your tax returns coming to help out with the extra expense?!?!?; March 12, 2009 at 1:33 PM
Trevor Holms Petersen said...: Such a cute little girl!; March 12, 2009 at 8:09 PM
Debbie said...: Actually, that was Dad's comment - sometimes he forget to "sign".; March 12, 2009 at 8:43 PM
Mandy said...: Love the pictures! I have pictures of my girls doing that, but I am not sure if they knew it was them or thought it was their sister! :) Brianna is so stinkin' cute! :) She looks so happy all of the time! (except when Daddy takes over her playpen . . .); March 15, 2009 at 10:29 PM
BBS said...: OK- this is just adorable. She is soooo cute! You also are so creative in your blogging.; March 16, 2009 at 6:03 PM

Quotes I want to remember

"The Lord knows our bearing capacity, both as to coping and to comprehending, and He will not give us more to bear than we can manage at the moment, though to us it may seem otherwise. Just as no temptations will come to us from which we cannot escape or which we cannot bear, we will not be given more trials than we can sustain."
- Neal A. Maxwell

"It is a fundamental truth that the responsibilities of motherhood cannot be successfully delegated. No, not to day-care centers, not to schools, not to nurseries, not to babysitters. We become enamored with men's theories such as the idea of preschool training outside the home for young children. Not only does this put added pressure on the budget, but it places young children in an environment away from mother's influence."
-Ezra Taft Benson

“Perhaps there has never been a time when we had greater need to pray and to teach our family members to pray. Prayer is a defense against temptation. It is through earnest and heartfelt prayer that we can receive the needed blessings and the support required to make our way in this sometimes difficult and challenging journey we call mortality.”
-Thomas S. Monson

“Live the gospel as conspicuously as you can. Keep the covenants your children know you have made. And bear your testimony! Don’t just assume your children will somehow get the drift of your beliefs on their own.
-Jeffrey R. Holland

"We hold in our arms the rising generation. They come to this earth with important responsibilities and great spiritual capacities. We cannot be casual in how we prepare them. Our challenge as parents and teachers is not to create a spiritual core in their souls but rather to fan the flame of their spiritual core already aglow with the fire of their premortal faith."
-Neil L. Andersen

"Certainly there are times when getting the family together to read the scriptures does not stack up as a spiritual experience worthy of a journal entry. But we must not be deterred. There are special times when the spirit of a son or daughter is just right and the power of these great scriptures goes down into their heart like fire. As we honor our Heavenly Father in our homes, He will honor our efforts."
-Neil L. Andersen

President Hinckley admonished both men and women to be nurturers. He said, ‘How much more beautiful would be the society in which we live if every father . . . and . . . mother regarded [their] children . . . as gifts from the God of heaven . . . and brought them up with true affection in the wisdom and admonition of the Lord.’ ”
-Susan W. Tanner

"Children are like trees. When they are young, their lives can be shaped and directed, usually with ever so little effort. Said the writer of Proverbs, 'Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it' (22:6). That training finds its roots in the home. There will be little of help from other sources. Do not depend on government to help in this darkening situation. Barbara Bush, wife of former U.S. president George Bush, spoke wisely: 'Your success as a family, our success as society, depends not on what happens at the White House, but on what happens inside your house.' "
-Gordon B. Hinckley

“I give counsel to husbands and wives. Pray for the love which allows you to see the good in your companion. Pray for the love that makes weaknesses and mistakes seem small. Pray for the love to make your companion’s joy your own. Pray for the love to want to lessen the load and soften the sorrows of your companion.”
-Henry B. Eyring

“Reverent behavior is not a natural tendency for most children. It is a quality that is taught by parents and leaders through example and training. But remember, if reverence is rooted in love, so is the teaching of it. Harshness in our training begets resentment, not reverence.”
-Margaret S. Lifferth

"There is no one perfect way to be a good mother. Each situation is unique. Each mother has different challenges, different skills and abilities, and certainly different children. What matters is that a mother loves her children deeply and, in keeping with the devotion she has for God and her husband, prioritizes them above all else."
- M. Russell Ballard

“As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘I want to follow my dad,’ or ‘I want to be like my mother’?”
-Thomas S. Monson

“Security for our families comes from learning self-control, avoiding the excesses of this world, and being temperate in all things.”
-Kent D. Watson
