Turtly's High Old Time with Poppa Momma and Poppa made a special trip to the North Pole to ask Santa to fulfill all your wishes this year. They had so much fun.. they felt like kids again! 
Li'l Turtlylag never misses an opportunity to spend time with Gramma and Grampa Lag because she knows Grampa will always find a chance to swing her way up high over his head. Although it takes her breath away and makes her dizzy, she LOVES it! So when Dreamylag invited some of the family over to sample his latest cooking accomplishment, Turtly begged her mama to say yes. Swissy was reluctant as she's never appreciated Dreamy's cooking skills. Neither has Birdlags...so she was glad to have her hands full.. Mon had forgotten li'l Grandbabylag's diapers and asked Birdy to hold him while she was gone to buy some. Clarabowlags brought along some suckers and other goodies for little Jordielag, just in case the pizza might not be fit to eat. Momma was sure Dreamy's pizza would be the best she ever tasted and Poppa was so happy when it came out of the oven, he grabbed little Turtly and gave her that big swing up in the air..just what she'd been waiting for! TLC said the pizza smelled so good she couldn't help dancing and KILTie of course, hiked up the kilt....pic by Momma and Poppa
The Lags now have their own tv show. Here they've gathered for a "family portrait" promo pic. That's Gramma and Grampa WaLAGton (portrayed by Momma and Poppa) in the center, flanked by Jasonfen on Momma's right and little Dave-Bob on Poppa's left. Elizaspirit is perched on Grampa's lap 'cause she's his favorite and he's got her spoiled (also true in real life... Spirit's our firstborn, so it's not surprising.) Behind them, are Monlivia and JohnFungo, the mama and daddy of the WaLAGton clan with Wink Boy, their firstborn between them. In the front are ProzieEllen, DreamyBen and Erintina. The show centers around this large, loveable and loving family...much like the real-life Lags...and their friends and neighbors, of which there are so many that all the Lags will probably get a role or guest appearance in the show sooner or later. Be sure to check your local listings! With the rapid expansion of the Lag family, space is at a premium. Momma said that with over one hundred kids in the family, we could establish our own town so Poppa decided it's time to pack up the clan and head west where there is said to be plenty of land for homesteading. So.. we've loaded up the wagons and headed out. There was some argument over whose wagon would be first so everyone drew straws. Pongo and Jack won the draw and asked Tiggy to ride with them so she could scare off any would-be attackers. She looks ferocious but as you can see, a few little arrows from the OgalalaG Sioux and she's hiding behind her sissy and bubba.
Aubrey wants to be sure and capture all the sights along the way for future reminiscing so she keeps her sketchpad and pencils always at the ready.
Davey took that town idea right to heart.. finally a chance for his own pub! He's brought along a whole barrel of his favorite brew to get started. Those arrows have him a little worried though.. if one should happen to put a hole in his precious cargo... He's trying to get SirLagsAlot to let him have some of that armor for his barrel.
SirLagsAlot was wearing his helmet at the time this trip was being planned so he wasn't able to hear properly.. when Davey said he'd need to keep his brew in the shade, Shinin thought he said "crusade." He was a little embarrassed the first day out but after the arrows started flying, he was all 'neener neener' at the rest of us.
Leelala and Katrine have come up with a name for our new town and painted it on their wagon. See how they're grinning broadly over their own cleverness?
Poppa looks all cool and collected but with that arrow through his hat, he's concerned for the family's safety. He's thinking up some good jokes so he can get those OgalalaGs laughing too hard to catch up with us. He's quite clever that way and in other ways too. For instance, he rigged up that backpack carrier so little BabyShy could ride close to Momma. He doesn't realize it but later on other pioneers are going to ask him how to make them for their own younguns and the invention will catch on. A hundred years from now, they'll be standard equipment.....pic by momma and poppa
The family recently took another vacation to Hawaii to escape the winter blues. While Poppa, Momma and the rest of the family relaxed on the beach, some of the teen Lags decided to try their skill at surfing. There weren't enough surfboards to go around, so Lizziesmama hitched a ride on a friendly dolphin. And that turned out to be a good thing as they were able to do a little rescue work… Kazzie thought it would be really fun to sit on EP's shoulders .. until he decided to pull some dare-devil tricks. She saw disaster coming when he tried to knock Davey off his surfboard.. of course they wound up being the ones to fall off! Leelalag was grinning like the Cheshire cat because she could see EP was about to get his comeuppance. Tinalag, in her new red bikini, was too busy posing for the guy in the helicopter to notice what disaster was about to befall her siblings (or the one about to befall her!) Luckily, this picture was taken before that gull caught up with his target.......pic by Momma and Poppa
