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

On the first day of Christmas...

Santa gave to me...a baby girl all dressed in pink ♥

Oh alright...so technically she belongs to Teags and Chris. Shhhhh...



I love how this one has Nanna's, Lilli's and Lucie's hands...

Nanna (73) and Lucie Mae (12 hours!)


Disclaimer: I am aware that traditionally the 12 days of Christmas are actually Dec 25th through Jan 5th, but that's just stupid if you ask me. All the good stuff is over by then :oP So I'm making up my own. Because I can.

Oh hello December!

Your visits seem to be coming around faster every year. I remember the 6 week Christmas holidays lasting forever. Now its like I blink and they're over...

I really have nothing to say today. I just thought I was about due for an update and found a bunch of unblogged pics all ready to go that somehow or other seem to have been overlooked before. Unless I did post them but just can't remember...which is a distinct possibility.

My bubba...


Balloons rule!


Rab. She doesn't look like this anymore.


The monkey again...


Another oldie.


Baby and the kitty...


Cute boy...


Lunatic boy...


Wyatt took this!


Grumpy the Christmas fairy. She is NOT your friend :oP


Now she is...


Pretty sure everyone keeps a cow in their freezer, right??


She's not my friend again...


And now she is...


Reminder - ALWAYS microchip your pets!


This is Gus...wandered into Lisa's place. If Lisa was a less than honest person it would have been very easy to keep this beautiful boy.


Graysons Christmas card. The verse inside read: Roses are red, birds fly high. Christmas is awesome and so am I. She wrote it herself lol.


That's it...I'm done. You can go now.

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...
