For those of you not from the LDS culture, FHE stands for Family Home Evening. We have set aside 1 night each week (typically Monday) where we spend some time together just with the family. We sing, pray, learn about the gospel (and other good stuff), play games and ALWAYS have a treat. A few Mondays ago, Cole was in charge of FHE. He put together an awesome lesson about the scriptures. The date was Sept. 22 and while preparing for his lesson about the scriptures being a treasure, he realized that Joseph Smith dug out the Gold Plates (Book of Mormon) on Sept. 22. He thought that was REALLY cool. He assigned us some scriptures to read about why we have the BOM and then about how Joseph Smith came to have it. To illustrate his point, he made a treasure map for us to find some sort of treasure in our back yard. The picture I took of the map didn't turn out well, but you can get an idea what it looked like here.
After we grabbed our shovels and headed out back, we were lucky to find the X right away and began our dig. We found a wrapped package and took it back in before it was completely dark outside. Corbin was the lucky one who got to open the wrapped treasure. He was so excited!
Cade got to choose the song, which was "Book of Mormon Stories". 
Grandpa Jay was trying to help Corbin do the actions, but it wasn't going that well. 
As usual, Payton was in charge of treats. She LOVES to make brownies and that is what we had.
