Fashion Friends

What do you do when you web-caming with a friend and you feel like doing something really funny with her?

Why, you start a fashion show of course! :D

Hannah, and i did just that the other day. For a little bit, she'd pick a dress and i'd have to find a pair of shoes for that outfit, and then we switched halfway through, while listening to Newsies! :D

No, these are obviously NOT outfits. Hannah found some really cool photo's and i decided to post them! :)

LOVE

Aren't they funny?

This would certainly make you want to go barefoot outside!

Okay, here we go! 1st outfit!

What do you think?

Yes, Hannah and i laughed at this one

the dresses reminded me of fairies so i thought that the shoes was like totally perfect!

we called this the pregnant woman dress

AWESOME shoes, eh?

I would SO wear 'em

And before anyone says anything the shoes are ICE not skeleton shoes like Hannah thought :P

The dress reminded me of a governor and i thought she would need a little COLOUR, don't you agree?

One of the outfits we both liked

the dress here looks like its just cloth that wrapped itself around the girl, but i do like the shoes! :P

yes, that's a sketch of a dress, but i still liked it

another favourite

we thought this one looked so much like a witches dress, and Hannah got the perfect shoe for it!

Okay, before we continue i'm going to warn you! Hannah had a slight "obsession" with boots okay? All the following boots you see she picked! :D

hahahaha :D

favourite

Is that not awesome or what?

we LOLed at this one

love the dress! <3

the shoes are awesome!!

I have NO clue who choose the boots for this one (sarcasm)

Yes, that's a beach dress with boots, is that NOT awesome!

AWESOME CHOICE IN FOOTWEAR HANNAH! <3

sparkly shoes or what?

another favourite

So what do you think?

Hannah and i should totally go into the fashion industry right? sarcasm

I didn't post ALL of the outfits we did because that would be like SO long, and you'd see so many pairs of boots, weird outfits, dresses, etc that you'd think something was wrong with us! :P

"I would love to see favorite pictures of where you all live and how you got to know each other. :) It sounds very interesting. Also, your favorite color, Chavonne. :D I'm intrigued"

No, Andrea we did not forget your question! :D

So to answer your question each of us has taken a picture of where we lived, and then have wrote a few sentences on how we met! I hope you guy's all enjoy! :D

Hannah:

So let's see, how did we all meet? Well, I was supposed to get a pen-pal for an English assignment and my mom asked around for someone I could write. So, Chavonne's mom suggested her, but to email since she lives in Canada, so we became email pals. A few weeks after that Chavonne introduced me to Emily(they had met a year or 2 before), and we all became fast friends. :) So yes, that's how we met. We've never gotten to meet each other in person which is really sad, but we're still trying. :)

PICTURES OF HANNAH'S PLACE

Emily:

Hi! As you already know,I am a friend to Hannah and Chavonne.And honestly,I couldn't ask for better friends.They just seem to always be there for me with the perfect words. Chavonne and I met each other through our Mom's. Chavonne and I started emailing in 2006,and have been awesome friends ever since! We haven't actually met each other seeing Chavonne lives in Canada,and I in Pennsylvania.I met Hannah through Chavonne,and I am SO happy Chavonne put me in touch with her,Hannah is always making me laugh.Even when it's not that funny.She just has that way about her (; I met Hannah sometime around 2008.Us three have had so much fun together doing voice chat,talking on the phone and emailing.I've never met Hannah either :( Our dream is to one day get together(: We all hope it's very soon.

Here is a picture of where I live.I have a beautiful dog named Molly,and 9 people in my family total.

PICTURES OF EMILY'S PLACE

Chavonne:

So how did us girls meet?

Well, in 2006 Emily's mom and my mom knew each other, and they decided to get me and Emily emailing and we immediately became the best of friends. Then a while later i got this email from Hannah, introducing herself and all. Confused as to how this girl got a hold of my email, so i asked mom and she shed some light on the matter. She knew Hannah's mom and Hannah had been looking for some people to email so my mom gave her my email. Soon Hannah and i were emailing several times a day (when we probably should have being doing school). Then a while later i was chatting with both Emily and Hannah and telling each about the other and they wanted to meet each other so we started group chatting, and after that we became very close friends.

PICTURES OF CHAVONNE'S PLACE

(this is part of Kelowna)

And Andrea Chavonne's favourite colours are:

• Dark Purple
• Chocolate brown
• Navy
• Lime Green

Thanks for the questions Andrea. :)

Hope you guy's have a great week! =)

Johnny English Reborn

MOVIE INFO

In the years since MI7's top spy vanished off the grid, Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson) has been honing his unique skills in a remote region of Asia. But when his agency superiors learn of an attempt against the Chinese premier's life, they must hunt down the highly unorthodox agent. Now that the world needs him once again, Johnny English is back in action. With one shot at redemption, he must employ the latest in hi-tech gadgets to unravel a web of conspiracy that runs throughout the KGB, CIA and even MI-7. With mere days until a heads of state conference, one man must use every trick in his playbook to protect us all. For Johnny English, disaster may be an option, but failure never is.

MY THOUGHTS:

If any of you have seen, Johnny English and liked it, i think you'll enjoy the sequel, Johnny English Reborn.

I throughly enjoyed watching Johnny English Reborn, but i must say my favourite part was watching it with my grandmother. I don't think i've seen her laugh as much as she did in a movie for a while. So not only did I throughly enjoy it, but so did my grandma.

What i like about the movie is that, Rowan Atkinson, makes it so funny with all of his silly faces, comments, moves, etc. So its very much also a kids movie. :)

So if your wondering what movie to watch sometime, i'd definitely recommend, Johnny English Reborn.

Have a great week guys! :)

busy school year

What can i say? We're having a busy school year? :P

Isn't everyone else?

We're also running out of idea's on what to post about!

ANY idea's would be appreciated! You can email us at:

live.laugh.love.teenagers.blogspot.com

So.......I guess i should do a quick update:

Emily:
As the rest of us is having a busy school year and has gotten a part time job.

And also is very excited for Christmas, as we all are!!

(well at least we are! :P)

Hannah:

Unfortunately, Hannah's family is sick, so please pray that she doesn't get sick as well.

(Well she's actually kinda sick but not like bed ridden because she's SO sick, so just pray that she gets better and doesn't get TOTALLY-BED-RIDDEN sick)

Hannah has being reading the series, "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" and says its a very good series. So if you're looking for something to read, you might want to look into that! :)

Chavonne:

Chavonne has being very busy with work, school and life.

She's also started a photography course so her school week is pretty much always booked up before it even starts.

She's also going to start reading a series of "Sherlock Holmes". So whoever wants to read mystery books, Sherlock Holmes is a total classic and is suggested! :)

Well that's about it.

If you guy's have ANY question, (even random ones like, "Hannah, what are your favourite movies? or, "Emily, what's your favourite bible verse?" or "Chavonne, what's your favourite colour(s)?"

ANYTHING at all you can totally ask us and we'd be thrilled!

You guy's have an awesome week, and again if you have ANY suggestions on things we can post about, or even if there's something you want to "get out there" but don't have a blog you can totally ask us and we might be able to publish it on our blog (just as long as its not insulting anyone, hurting anyone, or not honouring God).

Have a great one guys! :)

PhOtO COnTeSt WiNnEr

The winner of THIS month's photo contest is:

ANDREA CLARK!!!!

Andrea, just wanted to say that what i really liked about this picture is that, its not JUST your sister, but it has a really nice background and its very colourful!! Great job!! :)

Now for the surprise that i posted about last week. One of the girls brought it up that she didn't think that it was fair for the photo contest to have different points every time. And that she thought that everyone should have the same amount for every contest. I didn't really think about it until now, but that IS very unfair. Everyone of you are doing the SAME thing. Why should the reward be different? So everyone that has won a contest (including Andrea) now all have FIVE points. And from now on, us girls have agreed that every contest will have five points as the reward! =)

I hope that you guy's are all having an awesome week and school year.

And if there's anything you want to bring up, ask, or comment about please let us know at:

live.laugh.love.teenagers@gmail.com

You guy's all have a great week! :)

-The Three Of Us

7 Reasons not to Mess With Children

7 Reasons Not To Mess With Children A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, 'When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah'. The teacher asked, 'What if Jonah went to hell?' The little girl replied, 'Then you ask him'. A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was. The girl replied, 'I'm drawing God.' The teacher paused and said, 'But no one knows what God looks like.' Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, 'They will in a minute.' A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to 'honour' thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, 'Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?' From the back, one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, 'Thou shall not kill.' One day a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink. She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head. She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, 'Why are some of your hairs white, Mum?' Her mother replied, 'Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white.' The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, 'Mummy, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?' The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. 'Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, He's a doctor.' A small voice at the back of the room rang out, 'And there's the teacher, she's dead.' A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, 'Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face.' 'Yes,' the class said. 'Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?' A little fellow shouted, 'Cause your feet ain't empty.' The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray: 'Take only ONE . God is watching.' Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A child had written a note, 'Take all you want. God is watching the apples..' It doesn't matter how many people you send this to, just remember if it made you laugh, your friends will laugh too.

Hello, dear blog readers!

How's the summer going for all of you?

Well, i don't know about you but we're having the worse summer weather anyone could possibly have! No joke! 90% of the time its raining, windy, and cold! :(

But today and what looks like for the rest of the week its supposed to be sunshine! YAY!!

So what have you guy's being up to?

Maybe i should do what i did last time. List one of the girls names and talk about them! ;)

So Hannah, a few weeks ago was watching kids at a FCA camp (I forget what the FCA stands for) and i know that she had a BLAST doing that. She posted pictures of her adventure with the kids at her blog. Click here to visit her blog. Also, she's being visiting her aunt and has being going to the beach lots. Also her photography is amazing! You definitely need to check it out! Click here to check out her blog (again!)

Emily, just got back from a Missions trip in Indiana and from what she told me, it was an awesome experience for her. She's also being pretty busy with the summer months, (as are we all) and was expecting a surprise visit from her brother! ;)

Those were the last things that she told me when we last chatted so, i can't really think of anything else she told me! :P

Chavonne, (me) has being very busy with finishing up a summer school course, volunteering at VBS (if you want to read the post click here..) After the summer course is finished i plan on hanging out with friends, and siblings, and finishing off my summer with a tan! (Although, my little six-year-old brother is WAY ahead of me! :P)

Winner

So most of you guy's are probably wondering "Are those girls even alive?"

Yes, we're alive! =D

The reason why it took so long to post who the winner was, was because one of the girls was on a Mission trip and got back the day OF or the day after the photo contest ended, but we didn't get a hold of her until later. And then we had to decide who was the winner and then we had to talk some more. And yeah! :P

So we have a WINNER people!

The winner of the photo contest is

Andrea!

I gotta tell you girls, this one was like, super hard, no joke. We had some chats about why some one should win, what we loved about the picture....etc

So congratulations Andrea! :)

And thank-you to all of the girls for such amazing pictures! They truly were amazing!!

I pray that you all are having a great summer!

Love is patient.........

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

1 Corinthians 13, 4-7

three of many verse we should always be paying attention to.

~The Three of us

Destruction of Tornadoes

So many people are left devastated without a home in Alabama,Mississippi and Georgia.Nothing to go back to.All their life's work torn apart in an instant.All we can do for them is pray.Prayer goes a long way....
