At the beginning of this year, Scott and I started the Tackling Autism Foundation. We were still in the process of organizing everything when we were approached by my brother Adam about having a golf tournament in Orlando. We didn't know if we could pull it off in such a short amount of time. But thanks to him and his group called Fore Charities, we had a successful event with 103 golfers. The tournament was covered by the Orlando Sentinel in this article. Everyone had a great time.
Here are some pics - 
Here is Alex and I with our dear friend Molly Dempsey...who happens to be the one who took all these great photos (both at our event and for our beach trip). Thanks Molly, for always being the one with a camera, because I never am! Check out her site...she really does amazing work.
I was excited to have an excuse to go see my family in Florida. While Scott was stuffing envelopes for the tournament, I decided to go visit New Symrna Beach. The kids had a blast.
Evidence -
There is no sign of Luke because he was helping his dad stuff goodie bags. I'm sure he had just as much fun as his brothers.

Hey Ashley this is really cool. I found out today that you and Michelle Spencer know each other. I told her about this foundation and she wants to know more. I gave her your blog spot address (sorry I hope you dont mind) so she could go look it up. She also want to talk with you abour it.
Great pics - thanks Molly! We were so glad you guys had a reason to come into town. . .we love us some Jacksons.
I am SO excited that the event went so well. I work with young autistic children every day and so I'm always thrilled when I see the support growing. Love you guys!!
