"I know a little German - He's sitting over there!"
Since Jake served a mission for our church in Germany, we look for opportunities to share German culture with our children when we can. However, this isn't quite what we had in mind:
And the salute:
When the fudgesicle missed it's mark, the resulting mustache just tickled our funnybones! And then he REACHED for the chocolatey mess and it looked like a salute. We couldn't resist the pictures.
After a whirlwind long-distance summer romance and an even longer-distance engagement, we married 3 days after Christmas in 2002 and have had a blast since. Our four little ones keep us on our toes and entertained daily. Country life suits us and we are currently residing in the boonies of Nebraska on our farm/horse ranch and livin' our dream of owning and operating a world class horseshoeing school.

I'm a stay-at-home mom who's madly in love with my Buckaroo. I try to stay busy with 4 little ones, craft, sewing & kitchen projects, gardening and daily life on a farm/ranch. I find strength in the restored gospel of Jesus Christ and by finding little things everyday to be grateful for. Contact me at: millicentbutler@hotmail.com
My Buckaroo
A horseshoeing hottie! Tall, dark 'n handsome and the sweetest hubby & daddy in the world. He's a deep thinkin', hard workin', tender hearted cowboy that completely swept me off my feet and continues to make me swoon somehow everyday. Not to mention the daily laughter! What's not to like???

Chocolate Zucchini Cake with Orange Cream Cheese Icing
We have zucchini coming out of our ears here at the ranch. I've frozen tons of shredded & sliced zucchini to use all winter, and we're running out of freezer space (we have to leave some space for that pesky Blackie the lamb!) So I've been trying to find new, tasty ways to eat the green veggie. Clayton is the only family member, I think, who doesn't mind having it at every meal as a side dish with salt, pepper & butter. I came across this tasty cake recipe and it is a hit!

Beat cream cheese & butter until fluffy. Add orange juice & vanilla. Gradually add powdered sugar & mix well until fluffy. Fold in orange zest. After icing, garnish top of cake with a sprinkle of cocoa powder and chocolate shavings.
