Last Tuesday was a day of jubilation for Carrie Underwood and her family as they celebrated a significant milestone: her eldest son, Isaiah, turning nine years old.
In honor of Isaiah's birthday, the Underwoods orchestrated a party that paid homage to one of his cherished pastimes—taekwondo.
The highlight of the celebration was a bespoke two-tiered cake, adorned with colorful belts, the ATA Martial Arts logo, and Isaiah's name, topped off with a figurine of a young boy executing a high kick in a taekwondo black belt.
Carrie took to social media on March 2 to share her reflections and some visuals from the event, expressing her amazement at how swiftly time passes.
"Today we got to celebrate our sweet Isaiah turning 9!!!!" she penned, capturing the bittersweet nature of watching her children grow up.
Yet, the prevailing sentiment was one of joy, particularly in witnessing Isaiah and his friends delve into taekwondo. She lauded the cake from Ivey Cake Store for its craftsmanship and taste, highlighting the joy in these small yet significant details.

This inclination is hardly surprising given the family background. Mike Fisher, the boys' father and Carrie's husband, is a former NHL player with a career spanning the Ottawa Senators and the Nashville Predators, while Carrie herself is a fitness aficionado, owning a workout clothing line and a fitness app.

The Underwood family resides on a 400-acre ranch, a serene setting where Carrie indulges in gardening, harvesting a vibrant array of fruits and vegetables from her greenhouse and grounds. This lifestyle choice not only aligns with her fitness and health ethos but also involves her children in these nurturing activities.

In an intimate revelation on Today's Country Radio With Kelleigh Bannen on Apple Music Country, Carrie shared, "I don't want to go to restaurants, I don't want to travel. I don't want to go anywhere."

"He's got a million friends and we're always hanging out with them," Carrie noted.
