Poor Landry (okay, and poor Samuel)

During the Hlivko's bash, a bunch of us were sitting in the living room, chatting having a good time. Landry, Kari & Tony's little girl (who is about as adorable as they come) and Sam D. are great buds. She adores him and vice versa. So, Sam is telling us all a lavish story, entertaining the crowd, so to speak. Landry is right next to him, and thinking she has his attention, throws him a toy ball (small plastic ball). Sam was taken off guard and tried to catch it, but instead (sorry, Sam, I am literally laughing out loud as I type this) it ricocheted off his hand and onto his face, just to the left of his left eye. He grabbed his eye and kind of double over. We all started laughing, until we noticed poor Landry was extremely upset and worried, crying because she thought she had hurt Sam. So Sam reached his hand out to comfort her and tell her it wasn't her fault...and that's when we all saw blood (and stopped laughing...at least temporarily). We distracted Landry with cookies (no one is really sure how many she ate?) while Sam was tended to with frozen veggies. Kim & Matt have more frozen vegetables than anyone I know. Sorry you had to sustain an injury at our last night of fun in Cheyenne, but at least now you'll never forget us! :) Here's Sam and his injury:

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!! Your story was so much funnier then mine! You should have seen his eye two days latr-stupid me for not taking another photo- it was so bad!!! Even yesterday I saw Landry and she said to me, "Sam's ok?! Sam's not hurt?" She is still so worried about him! You are a great story teller- thanks for rehashing the night- SO FUNNY!
