Two sisters from Iowa are being recognized as heroes for their quick thinking after saving two kids who fell through the ice in a pond behind an apartment building.Fifteen-year-old Jasmine Morris and 17-year-old Jacora Morris were scrolling through TikTok when they happened to look out their third-story window at the right time. Watch the full story in the video player above. "I immediately screamed, 'They're drowning! They're drowning!' And then me and my sister, we ran downstairs. The dog chased us. We were falling down the stairs to get back here," Jasmine said."I just stopped what I was doing. I just got up, and I was just running out. I was just in shoes, shorts and a tank top," Jacora said.The Morris sisters jumped into the icy water to help the kids."I am numb, and those kids, they have been in there longer than me, so they have got to be numb. At some point, they were going to just stop moving. And I didn't want them to stop moving, so it was just, come on! Get them out. You can get out later, just get them out is all I was thinking," Jasmine said.One boy was trapped underneath the ice with only a finger above the surface."I grabbed his middle finger and that is how I pulled him up and we got him up there. He was kind of heavy too, honey! I got him though," Jacora said.The sisters turned into heroes in seconds."You could see the relief and the happiness that he was out of the water and both of them were safe," Jasmine said.The rescue happened so quickly, medics didn't get there until it was over."I was amazed. Not many children would drop what they are doing, or adults, and just run out and wade into water up to their shoulders to pull two other kids out," West Des Moines EMS Division Chief Doug Harms said.Jasmine and Jacora's mom, Jaqueline Morris, said all those years of swimming lessons paid off."I am very proud! I don't even have the words to say. Wow, those were my girls," Jaqueline Morris said.Jasmine and Jacora don't want praise. They are just overjoyed at the outcome."I am just happy they're OK," Jasmine said.So what did the girls learn about themselves through all this?"That I have quick reaction skills! And when I have a sense to look up and do something, I need to look up," Jasmine said.The city of West Des Moines plans to recognize the sisters with a lifesaving award at a later date.

Whether singing to a crowd or jammin' at home, 9-year-old JJ Day was an entertainer."Whenever we had our friends over, he would always play along with us. He would always be making poses for the camera. He would always make us laugh," his sister, Morgan Day said. JJ's older sister, Madison said, "Potty humor, that was his favorite. He made jokes constantly ... He told me a few of his new year's resolutions, and one was to have more friends."The Mason third-grader, who wanted to be Mickey Mouse at Disney World one day, knew how to dominate a room. "His personality, it was explosive. It was so big," said his mother, Kristen Day. "He was our source of huge laughter." JJ's presence was always filled with love."He made sure that each of us knew that he loved us, and we loved him," Kristen Day said. JJ Day unexpectedly last Saturday. While his family still doesn't have answers about how he died, their focus is on how he lived. The term "Love like JJ" has spread through the community and on social media."I mean, he's everywhere," said his father, Jon Day. "He would want to be everywhere. He would want to be in everyone's face."

We see you and we feel you," Jon Day said."We feel the prayers. We feel the support. We absolutely feel it. I know my girls feel it too," Kristen Day said.The Days said they believe JJ was destined to change the world, and now, they will help him do so.A foundation, https://www.lovelikejj.org/ has been set up in his name.
