Carrie Underwood is loving her life as a mom in Nashville. She recently shared a series of videos and photos on Instagram as her youngest son, Jacob, celebrated his fifth birthday playing hockey on a frozen pond near the family’s house. She wrote in the caption, “A\u00a0special birthday for a special 5-year-old!!! Our pond was frozen over in perfect condition for a night skate! What a treat!!! Happy birthday, Jake! I know you wouldn’t have wanted it any other way!”<\/p>\n

Underwood is also mom to son Isaiah, who will turn 9 next month, with husband Mike Fisher. The family embraced the snowy weather ahead of her return to\u00a0Las Vegas for her residency\u00a0at the Resorts World Theater in March. They purchased the Tennessee property in 2011 and have been living there since 2018 when work on the home was completed. The property is affectionately referred to as EH-OK Farm by the family and features a barn where they house cattle and horses.<\/p>\n

In 2016, Underwood told Country Living <\/em>that she and Fisher were building their “forever home,” but she tends to keep her home life private. The same year, she explained to Redbook<\/em> that her onstage persona is different than the “real” Carrie Underwood. She said, “I love being onstage, but that’s different. That’s not Carrie. That’s Carrie Underwood. The rest of my life, I feel like I’m incredibly disappointing to people. Like, if I run into someone at the grocery store, I really don’t know what to say because I don’t have a microphone in my hand or bling on. They expect me to be ‘Carrie Underwood,’ but I’m just Carrie. I’m sorry!”<\/p>\n

But when she does share glimpses of the at-home Carrie, it’s clear she’s a proud mama. When Isaiah was almost 2 years old in 2016, she spoke with Redbook<\/em> about being a\u00a0first-time mom\u00a0and working on the road. She said, “I definitely feel like it’s changed me as a person. I’m happier. I’m in a better mood a lot of the time. He’ll be watching cartoons, and I’ll be watching\u00a0him. I’m completely in love. I love it when he’s sleepy, and I get to hold him and smell him. He doesn’t know I’m staring at him and being all googly-eyed!”<\/p>\n
