No, the quads will make your thighs bigger. Glutes will make your azz shapely, plus cutting the bf so that the waistline slims down and leads into a rounded azz. If you do ATG (azz to grass) squats, it's all glute activation on the concentric to get up to parallel.
Deadlifts will work the posterior chain (lower back, glutes, hams).
Some other body weight exercises:
Lunges
Bulgarian Split Squats
Bulgarian Deadlifts
Bulgarian Romainian Deadlifts
Basically, single leg exercises.
Yes, milk is extremely good. It has 1g protein per fluid oz, so drink up. I use milk in my PWO shake, along with yogurt.

I thought you weren't supposed to bend your knees more than 90 degrees???

I love this debate and quite honestly have left a few forums because of bad advice from others...
Cynic you said it nicely. Going below parallel or below the knees is only okay if you are at that level of fitness/health and if you can sustain the form safely. Otherwise going as low as you feel comfortable and in control is best.
Edited to add: If you do not want to go a$$ to grass, then keep all of your weight on your heels. This also stimulates the hamsrings and glute muscles.

Thank you miss. I've had to stop doing back squats because I posted my technique on another board and found it was terrible. The prescription: front squats.
A squatter should be doing this anyway. Putting weight on the balls of the feet promotes too much lean and a tendancy for the posterior to begin movement on the concetric before the back.

is riding a bike a good butt exercise as well?? someone told me that, but it feels more like it works the legs than anything else.
It'll work the leg muscles and a bit of the glutes... but it's mostly a cardio exercise.

I thought the trick was as long as your knees DO NOT go over the toes azz to grass was ok?
Currently I do azz to grass without weights...That's hard enough, besides I'm afraid if I put weights I'd drop them because I extend my arms out for balance and comfort. I guess I could place small ones (5 pounders) on my shoulders...

There is debate on both issues... but more and more people agree that bending knees below 90 degrees is okay... so long as you are doing it properly and can maintain balance and form.
Most people also agree that knees going past the big toes is a bad idea.
