Technically Max took his GED last year and went to BYU-Idaho instead of graduating HS.
But the HS didn't do much of a graduation program and so my friend Laurie through the kids a ceremony. I'm so glad she invited Max! Even if I was the one more excited about it!
Laurie went all out, I loved everything about it!!

Spotlight:
Max was born on May 6, 2003 weighing 9lbs 1 oz. He was a chunky happy baby and was the center of attention for almost 2 years. But by the time he was 5 he was pushing the shopping cart at the store, because moms cart was full of his 4 younger siblings. Max had to grow up quickly being the oldest of seven children. Max finished High School early and already finished a year of college in the automotive program at BYU-Idaho. He is home for the summer and working hard to save money for his future. We are proud of Max's accomplishments and for overcoming some very difficult challenges as well. We're thankful for his friends and the many people that have supportive Max through these years. Congratulations Max! We love you!
*Fun Fact: His highest bench press is 295 lbs.
Here are some old pics of these kids.
The next day the boys left to the beach! The Freeman's (Laurie and Shaun), got the boys a beach house in Newport beach for a week for their graduation gift! Say what?! Right on the beach!
These boys have been friends since 6th grade they are lucky to have each other!
