Mandy Moore is celebrating motherhood!

The This Is Us actress, 39, marked Mother's Day with an Instagram post on Sunday, May 12, showing several mother-child moments between herself and sons Oscar "Ozzie," 18 months, and Augustus "Gus," 3, whom she shares with husband Taylor Goldsmith.

She kicked off the carousel post with a shot of her two boys sitting side by side on a playground. She followed it up with a few more photos of the brothers playing and even cuddling together under the same blanket.

The actress also shared her own special moments with the boys, including a snap of her hugging one of the boys to her chest and laughing with Gus in her arms. She also included a sweet photo giving one of her sons a big hug as she bent down, as well as a mirror selfie capturing her laughing with Ozzie.

"Cheers to all those who mother," Moore captioned the post. "I salute you today and always (especially my mom, stepmom, mother in law and community of mom friends I stand in awe of). It’s the greatest club and truly the most exhausting and exhilarating job I’ve ever been lucky enough to get to do. Thanks to Gus and Oz for choosing me."

She then thanked Gus and Ozzie "for choosing me" and also sent a shout-out to people who may be having a hard time this holiday, writing: "Extra love to those who find today difficult for any and all reasons. I see you. 💙🩵."
