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

9. Nee ner nee ner nee ner...

That's Saxon's police car sound he makes when he's wearing his police helmet. So cute (and only a little bit annoying...really :oP).


Are you sick of him yet?

8. Peek-a-boo!

Lilli... We all *heart* her so much! Except Saxon. He's scared of "him" :o/


Except when she's doing stuff he wants her to do...like push him around on his new dragon bike...


Honk honk!! A Worthing bus driver in the making?

7. Saxon's the king of the castle & Wyatt's the dirty rascal!

I'm not sure what's going on with the spoon here...


Wyatt, reunited with one of his many "Babies" after a long school day...

6. His "birthday" face...

I don't ask. I just take the pictures. Do you think someone needs a haircut?



And check out my new iPhone case! I found these a few months ago and have only just got off my butt and ordered one. And now I want to order MORE!! Lots more!

3. A gentle reminder...

About copyright.

It doesn't just apply to images. Copying and pasting text is STEALING, and changing a few words does NOT make it yours. While it's flattering to think someone likes my style enough to want to emulate it, plagarism doesn't feel so hot, YK? It's one thing to try and imitate someone's style photographically (hey, we all did that to some extent in the beginning until we found our own, right?), but stealing the words out of my head? Not cool. Not cool at all.

Don't make me password my personal blog...I don't wanna have to do that.

Now we have that outta the way...

I want one of these! *stomps foot* Pleasssseeeee???


It's not fair...her mum wouldn't let me keep her :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...
