  5. O.M.G.!!! Seriously soooo funny! Loudest laugh out loud in a loooong time. Thanks Katie!! Hahaha. I think I’ll be laughing about this for a long, long time.

  8. Bahahahahaha!!!!!!

    Katie, OMG hilarious! I had to do a double-take because I could not believe that was you and Jeremy!!!!! You make a PERFECT redneck! And I say that with the utmost sincerity and respect! (no back-handed compliment here!!!) Love it!!!! 😀

  9. You are so unhinged. And I love it. We Southern girls gotta represent.
    On a related note, I was just in Boston last week and one of my husband’s cousins seriously kept asking me about/telling me that marrying your first cousin is a common occurence in the South, right?
    I just stared.

  10. O.M.G……

    I am still laughing over this. I came to finish looking at your last post and got this instead, love it! Will is still uber cute and not hick-looking at all really, you two on the other hand….

  14. There is no way that is your stomach! This is hilarious! Don’t be giving us Georgians a bad name.

  20. I think it’s legal in Georgia. And Jersey. And Tennessee. So basically anywhere where we are from 🙂
    I don’t personally know of anyone that has done it…although I did have a friend in highschool that dated her first cousin twice removed or something like that.

  27. wow. i laughed out loud. then showed my husband, who said, THAT’S katie bower? lolol. I said, “She has an off-putting sense of humor, that’s why I like her,” he said, “ya think?!”

    My favorite is the cigarette AND the dip can in your pocket. Classic.

  29. The sad thing is that about a mile from house I could see this for real! (I live in TN) My favorite part is that crazy vest you have on and the plastic lawn chairs in the back. I would love to know the story on that vest though!

  31. SO funny and it’s definitely not the same old boring family photo! But then again, I also thought the picture of you covered in embroidery hoops was hysterical too. 🙂

  32. You are CAH-RAZY, but totally fun!
    I’ve been reading your blog for a few months now and really appreciate your sense of humor and your genuine approach to blogging. Looking forward to reading more this year.
    Happy new year!

  33. Wait, how did you make this happen??? This is hilarious for sure. Other than the denim, I agree that the dip can is my favorite.

  40. I’ve never commented before but need to tell you how hilarious that picture is. You guys are good sports 🙂

  49. The craziest thing is that my mom’s backyard actually has all those chairs stacked up in it like that 🙂

  51. Um no. I just have on a pair of jeans that are two sizes too small and this uncanny ability to suck in and stick out my stomach. It freaks people out.
    xo – kb

  55. Oh my word, cannot.stop.laughing.

    There is no way that is your belly, you are as thin as a pencil, lady!

    SERIOUSLY hilarious!!!! Hope you don’t leave us (or Will) hanging too long on what the story is behind this… 😉

  61. This is fan-FEAKING-TASTIC! Love every single piece it, makes me feel back home. I would have totaly made this our Christmas card if I was you.

  62. Pure GENIUS!…….coming from a fellow southerner, woohoo Louisiana. All you have to do is look in the car next to you to see this on a daily basis. I love it though!

  69. LOVE IT!!

    And boy, is it nice to know someone else out there has that weird belly ability too… I had to stop that party trick a long time ago because most people over the age of 12 don’t find it as funny as I do. Although, I have to ask- have you ever stuck your stomach out like this & faked pregnancy so you could walk/waddle around Wal-Mart after eating a little too much at Golden Corral?

    Yeah. Me neither ; )

  72. You guys have a Golden Corral? Whoa. Fancy.
    We have a Bubba’s BBQ. And no. never. not this year at least 🙂
    xo – kb

  74. OK…long time reader…first time commenter…this was just tooo good! I want to stop looking at this picture…but I just can’t! I love your blog, Katie…you are too much!!

  75. O.M.G. I almost peed when I saw this. I love the alligator clip and scrunchy…that’s my favorite. I saw your comment about doing PX90. Are you for real? I get up and watch infomercials on saturday mornings while drinking coffee and wait for my baby to wake up. One of my favorites is PX90 but I am always wondering who is crazy enough to actually do it! It’s like the informercial that is biggest loser in fast forward. Sort of. If you really are doing it, you have to post before and afters in really embarrassing body building positions. I figure you can handle it after the embroidery hoops and belly sticking out redneck pick. All of this assuming you are doing PX90. I’ll cheer for you. While I read your blog. And continue watching Biggest Loser. While eating ice cream.

  76. Oh my Lord…this is the funniest picture ever! Will looks like he’s thinking “Whats wrong with my parents??” lol. I can do the stomach thing too, stick it out far enough and i look 6 months pregnant! 🙂

  78. Actually, we don’t. The next town over-ish (Winder) does.

    Had that been a local Wal-Mart? I wouldn’t have dared! But I figured, it’s Winder. Who cares?

    Bubba’s, huh? Wonder if that’s as good as our Hot Thomas BBQ…? I don’t know Thomas & I haven’t a clue if he’s hot or not, but his BBQ is deeee-lish!

  82. Oh my!!! How do you come up with this stuff! Sooooooo funny! And of course you still look hot in the picture!

  88. HILL-ARIOUS!!!! You crack me up girl, can’t wait to hear how you photoshopped your belly or is there some announcement you’re about to make? Seriously, I wish I could hang out with you – you make me laugh out loud!!!!

    xoxo
    Kate

  90. I’m trying to read all the comments but I keep scrolling up and laughing. 🙂 I wish I knew you in real life. You’re hilarious. 🙂 lol

  94. Girl you need to warn us before posting a picture like this…….I almost choked on my meatloaf!! Lol. Will you be my friend???l. This is def pinterest material…….I have to remember this for our white trash bash this summer!! I told my husband he needs to knock me up cuz girl I don’t have balls as big as yours…….ya I just went there 😉

  96. I’m imagining so many stories about how this came to be now that I know (after reading all the comments) that it is in fact you and you didn’t just photoshop your faces in the picture. I was seriously looking at the photo for a good 5 minutes trying to see how you got your faces so perfectly placed and then I was thinking where in the world did she find a picture like that that works so perfectly for all three of you? Make no mistake…YOU ARE ONE FUN FAMILY! That’s my idea of a Sunday afternoon of hilariousness….thanks for the giggle!

  98. This. is. amazeballs. Can’t wait to see more. I think my fave part is the Bud Light Lime…and maybe Jeremy’s teeth!! 🙂

  101. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

    I seriously had to check the website to make sure I clicked on the right one. This is TOO FUNNY!!! I agree that the dip in the pocket is icing on the cake.

  102. Katei~

    I have to tell you, you are so funny. Yes, this pic is hilarious but in general, you are hysterical. I find myself giggling on a regular when I read your posts. On a side note, I love your style and get some cool ideas from you (even though you are almost half my age)!! lol You guys are just too cute, always keep your spunky attitude in the forefront!! Btw, this is the first time I have ever commented on a blog even though I stalk them pretty regularly! ~Stacey

  104. This is the best! At first I didn’t think it was you guys! Love the bra straps hanging out and the smudged eye liner! Can not wait to hear about this and see more pis! Your next post maybe?!

  105. that ‘s it…new favorite blog. I was just telling my husband that I was late on finding yours, but love it so much because you are so funny and real. You still manage to do a million things that I love to read about, but I don’t find myself feeling like a loser for not doing enough after I read…which was how I was feeling about some other blogs that I recently decided to quit reading…even though I love them. I still can’t believe you did not photoshop that belly. We saw your holiday card pic!..you are tiny

  106. This picture is too funny! I had to stifle my snort/laugh at work this afternoon. Also, I’m glad I’m not the only one that can inflate my stomach and look 5 months pregnant.

  110. Yup – there was no alcohol involved. Kinda makes it scarier, huh? And our cigarette is actually just rolled up paper 🙂
    xo – kb

  112. Can we be friends?? With an awesome sense of humor like this, we are bound to hit it off! And I can also suck in and poke out my stomach really well and sometimes I don’t even have to poke it out because it hangs out all on it’s own. 🙂 Hence the reason that I ,too, am starting P90X.

  114. Oh. My. Word. Your mother must be so proud! HAHAHAHA!

    Redneck to perfection. I am digging your hair, girl. And Jeremy’s beard, that takes skill! I CANNOT wait to see the explanation!

    You never cease to amaze me, Katie Bower!

  116. Dear Katie Bower,
    Are you accepting best friend applications at this here time? Between our love for bacon and our ability to contort our bellies into side show acts, we’uns is a match made in BFF Heaven. As a bonus, (and if it makes me sound like a stalker, then completely disregard this statement) I live thur close. I can show you’uns around all of the ‘burbs to the best redneck-watchin’ Walmarts and then on to a cow tippin’ field trip to the cauntry.
    I’m happy to send my resume and BFF references.
    Sincerely,
    April

  121. Wow. Haha.

    Took me a minute to realize IT’S YOU. You can be the very opposite of photogenic when you want to be. That’s meant as a compliment only.

    Can’t wait to hear the story. Soon, yes?

  127. OMG! I love this! I love that you guys are brave enough to send out an awesome picture like this 🙂 Huge fan of your blog and your ‘salt of the earth’ description of things…love when people can tell it like it is! Happy New Year 🙂

  129. You, girl….are hilariously funny with that pic. That is crazy!! OK, still hoping to meet up with you this year at some point. Let’s make it happen!

    Just for the record, my first cousin (a guy) married our 3rd cousin (a girl) in FL, perfectly legal. Did I just admit that? They had 2 cute girls and are now divorced.

  131. Haha, I definitely passed the phone to my husband to show him the picture! He said he liked the Skoal in the pocket, classy. I came to the comments to see if it was possibly photoshopped, guess not! Happy New Year!

  132. It’s legal here in Virginia too! But not in West Virginia (ha! no offense W. Virginians) I actually know a couple … eek!

    AWESOME photo btw 😀

  134. For real..i thought you photoshopped this. It looks NOTHING like you, I stared and stared. The only give away was Will!

    So funny…and creepy…and just plain groovy

  135. WHAT?!?! You have got to be kidding me! HAHAHAHAHAHA

    P.S. My friend can do that with her stomach too. lol. xo

  136. Oh. Two more things – 1) You look just like Tina Fey in character, and 2) Did you cut your hair? xo

  138. Thought we were the only family to go with a “redneck” theme on their card. We all held shot-guns in our pic. LOL

  142. It will happen Rhoda! And I promise I won’t look this way 🙂
    xo – kb
    p.s. I love how the conversation has gone to marrying cousins 🙂

  144. haha…….I noticed that too! But I totally thought it was photoshopped.

    Cute cute idea…..love it!!

  146. Wow! I had to look carefully to see that it really was you guys!! Brilliant!

    Happy new Year!

    “May all your troubles last as long as your New Year’s Resolutions!” ~ Joey Adams.

  147. oh, wow! Have you ever thought of going into acting?! This is hilarious! And the stacked plastic lawn chairs works so well. I hopped on here to see what cute things you posted about Christmas and kinda got smacked in the face w this crazy awesome pic. Love it!

  148. Oh. My. Goodness. This is so stinkin’ hilarious. I cannot stop giggling. All the crazy details just make it even funnier.

  149. I love that you can see your camera lens cap in your pocket! I wasn’t really sure it was you till I saw that … 🙂

  150. Darn it, I got so excited thinking this was a very “Katie” way of letting us know you’ve got a bun in the oven/baby on board/insert euphimism here, especially with the “baby bwer” tag (although I’m sure no one is more disappointed about that than you xx).

    HILARIOUS photo, love it! Happy New Year Bowers!

  151. Hysterical!! I actually know two people who married first cousins…scary I know and I grew up in Northern VA, close to DC, hardly a place people would think of having family marry!

  156. Love it! So funny, thanks for the laugh! It’s great you and your boyfriend don’t take things too seriously and know how to have fun.

  164. Oh my goodness, this is hilarious! Love that you and your family are such good sports and have a crazy sense of humor. As for your belly, thought it was fake as well. Wow, girl, you have skills, lol! Happy New Year!

  165. This seriously made my day!
    It looks like so much fun! I’m not sure if I could convince my family to go through with that though.

  166. This is HILARIOUS. And, is even more hilarious when you juxtapose this “New Year’s Card” with your Christmas card!

  168. And this is why you are my favorite blogger! I so need to do this with my family. We’re from Alaska, and we’re our own brand of redneck!

  169. I have had tons of crazy fun times with my unique family, but now after seeing your Christmas pics, I’m feeling inspired to take our family gatherings to a new level of fun!

  170. I keep thinking who the hell is this couple you gave your son Will to hold??? You’re completely UNRECOGNISABLE what with those bangs and what with that stuck out belly (I was sure it was a very realistic looking rubber belly that you attach to your body during Halloween, until I read it’s yours). And Jeremy with the sunglasses (that cover up his trade mark eyes) and those teeth… You’re one HILARIOUS family!!! I wonder how anyone could have a straight face even for a second – loads of great photos! 😀
