Mariah Carey relaxes with her favorite twins as Monroe and Moroccan take in mom’s embrace. Monroe looks away from the camera as Moroccan allows the lens to catch his gaze.

Mariah recently told In Touch that her husband, Nick Cannon, was her inspiration for becoming a mother. I never thought I’d experience motherhood. My career was my life,” said the singer. “[But] when you find the right person, you [want to] go through it.”

Now, with two adorable twins with unique personalities and a loving husband by her side, Mariah doesn’t believe that life can get much better. “I’m so in love. Every moment is incredible,” says the artist.

Monroe and Moroccan will celebrate their second birthdays on April 30, 2013. Mariah and Nick wed over four years ago on the same date.
