Once upon a time...


In a land far far away, there lived a king and a queen and their four beautiful children... Unfortunately they were way too boring to write about, so you're all stuck with the Dimmock's instead!

We're a bit of a fractured fairytale.I can't promise to update every day...I'm a bit slack like that (shhh), but I'll do my best to keep it up.

And they all lived happily ever after...well that's the plan at least :oP

Choo chooo!!

Bye bye terrible 2's...hello terrific 3's! Hey, I can dream, can't I? I know I'm deluding myself. But he's asleep right now, so I can in all honesty say that he's absolutely perfect at this moment :oP

We had a lovely day. This morning we went to a play center so Wyatt could play on his favourite thing ever - the jumping castle. Daddy even popped out of work for an hour to surprise him. Brother and Rabby got a day off school as well, at Wyatt's request. It just happened that it's the last week of school before the holidays and not much work gets done this week, so they didn't miss anything.

After that we came home for Saxon's sleep time, and mummy got to decorate the birthday cake. They're having a big (hopefully) flash cake for their party on Sunday, so this was just a little one for the family tonight.

Mama, Nanna, Grandad, Lisa, Teagan and Lucas came for pizza and birthday cake. Grandad was a bit tired...he's been to Brisbane today to see the eye specialist, but I think he enjoyed playing trains with his great-grandsons.

We're all very excited (I say all...but mostly it's the girls!) because Lisa found out today that she's having a GIRL!! Yay!! Pink pink and more pink! Steff keeps reminding me that it's not mine...he's such a spoilsport. But that's ok...it means I get the best bits. I can play dressups with a baby girl and give it back when I'm done :o)

The birthday boy. Cute, isn't he? And his cake...not my best work, but he was happy with it :o)

A little about us...ok, mostly me...

Hey there! I'm guessing that most people who drop by to visit us here already know who we are, but just in case...

My name's Nikki. I'm mum to 4 (yeah, 4...can you believe it? No, me either *shudder*) kids, aged from 16 down to 4. My husband, Steff, is originally from the UK - I stole him away from the cold and the damp to live in Central Queensland, where he must endure almost endless sunshine and blue skies. Somehow he manages ;o)

I started this blog as a way to keep family in England up to date with our comings and goings. And it lets me show off how cute the kids are getting!

A little about me...I'm a professional photographer, I'm obsessive about Buffy the Vampire Slayer, love Harry Potter, Sookie Stackhouse (only book Sookie, not True Blood Sookie. It's an important distinction!), (the 10th) Doctor Who, cupcakes, and Spuffy fanfic (although not necessarily in that order). I'm also an extreme perfectionist with a love of the creative and original, who has a very low tolerance for stupidity. If you ask my husband, he'll tell you I'm a huge snob - I'm really not. I just think I'm better than everyone else :oP (That's a joke, ok? Pretty much).

Oh, and please leave a comment to tell me how fabulous you think I am...it makes me write faster and more often ;o) No really...that part wasn't a joke...
