Kevin and I had debated for awhile about putting Halli into anything competitive, but finally decided that Swim Team would be fun and beneficial. Not to mention, this girl is a total fish.
So we've been having practices every day for the past three weeks.
That can be a little tiring.
Especially cause it's right at dinner time. But, she absolutely loves it.
She wasn't real sure what to think of her first meet. They let all the kids get in and do a warm up early that morning, and she was kinda disappointed that she had to get out. After that, she spent the majority of her time asking to go to grandma's house to go swimming.
But, I am glad to say, that after doing her one event she loved it and want's to keep going to all the meets! Glad it was worth it for her, and she's learning a bunch and doing really well, so, I suppose it was worth it for me too.
looking like the real deal in her swim gear.
Right after her warm-up, and ready to go.
This was Peyton's face the majority of the time. She did NOT want to be there, and was hot and tired. Good thing we love her, and think that face is cute!
Halli waiting on deck for her turn to race.
Getting some pointers from dad.
The signature "halli" move. Her eyes are ALWAYS indented with the oval of her googles. I really don't know why she doesn't loosen them up, believe me, we've tried.
on the block and ready to go! Doesn't she look like a tough competitor?
In the start position. See how she's checking everyone else out to make sure she's got it right? I love this funny kid.
There goes everyone! Except Halli, who seems to be making sure it's the right time to jump in.
Not quite the last one out, but close! Not to worry, she still finished 2nd! 
Look at that form! Now we just need to teach her how to breath, cause she stops and doggy paddles when she needs to take a breath.
Our little athlete. She was very proud of herself, as she should be. 
Peyton and her Grandpa, she loves him!
daddy's girl. She adores him and I love it!
Look at my tough guy, isn't he just Handsome! I love that he's trying not to smile here.:)
Halli and dad goofing off.
I have way too many pictures of her swimming around, but thought this one was kinda cute.

Way to go Halli!! She is just getting so old... I remember like it was yesterday her being the same age as Savannah & Ky.
The girls were looking at the pictures with me and Kylie really wants to go watch Halli swim. :) When is her next meet? I guess they are probably every Saturday right? Let me know. Love the pic of Peyton's face. Totally looks like a face we get a lot from Miss Kylie. :)
Good Job Halli! I love swimming and competing in swim events. That's great that she's in it. Love the picture of Peyton upset at the pool. She does have the cutest face when she's not happy.
Again, you are a great photographer. You captured "swim team" moments so well. I am going to have to copy them and get those moments of my girls. Priceless.
Your girls are adorable! You've inspired me to take more pictures.
I found your site through creative parties and showers and so ecstatic that I did. You blog about the BEST things and are such an amazing photographer.
