Carrie Underwood is on the road with her husband and two young sons on her "Cry Pretty" tour.

Carrie shared with us, “It’s kind of crazy to think, sometimes I will literally look at my husband and be like, ‘We have two sons. We have two kids. We’ve been married for nine years and we have two children. We live on a farm.’ Life is very different with two. We kind of got out of that baby stage with Isaiah."

She continues, "He’s much more self-sufficient. He can brush his own teeth and put his own clothes on. He’s making decisions for himself, and then we start all over with the little squishy one [Jacob] again. It’s just kind of crazy. You forget how hard it is to be honest, but you just figure your way through it. I’m so blessed to have Isaiah, who is super helpful and super sweet, and he loves his little brother.”

Underwood plays shows in the United Kingdom this weekend.
