I didn’t know that Gus’ full name was Gustav. Nice.
- Brooke on
I’d never heard him called Gustav either. I like that alot.
- Miche on
I wish this hadn’t been posted as ‘Boisterous Boys’. The same wouldn’t have been said if she had three girls, so please let’s not add to the gender bias. Perhaps this should have been ‘Beautiful Boys’.
- Angela on
I love the names of all her children! So cute.
I also have never knew ‘Gus’ was really Gustav.
- Micheley on
Really Angela? Gender bias? There really is someone to to take offense over every topic, isn’t there…
- meghan on
Angela, I agree completely. Boys seem to get such a bad rap sometimes, it’s not fair.
- Rosy on
Angela, I agree. The definition of the word is violent; Loud, noisy, and lacking in restraint or discipline; unrestrained or unruly. Whether talking about Boys or Girls the word should not have been used.
- Wendy on
Such a cute picture!

Gustav seems like a strange name for a very American boy, but hey, whatever. They’re all very cute.
- Mallory on
Beautiful family!I love julie bowen and her boys are so adorable.I like their names -short,normal and masculine- is sooo my taste for boys names.I knew Gus was Gustav and I think his name is so much better than his nickname.
- me on
You people are so nitpicky it cracks me up! Lighten up ladies!!!
- Y on
Her boys are so cute!

Could the word “boisterous” have been chosen SIMPLY for the alliteration?
- Jen DC on
Angela, I completely agree!!! And, look at her 3 boys….the only one that looks ready to be “boisterous” is the one on the left. The others are very well behaved. Love her!
- Karen on
People really get their undies in a bunch over the most trivial things… It’s actually quite ridiculous. Julie’s sons are adorable. Julie looks great too.
- A. on
totally agree with angela….adorable family
- ej on
Well, since it looks like she’s holding onto one for dear life to keep him from running off, maybe the boys were actually being boisterous! That’s a thought!
- S on
Julie Bowen has also mentioned in other interviews that her boys are very rowdy. Boisterous can also mean that you are have incredible energy and high spirits.
I also agree with Jen DC. Boisterous was probably used for the sole purpose of creating a catchy title, using alliteration. Come on ladies!! Sigh… Where do you get the energy to nitpick everything?
- Jessica on
I don’t know…the first hit when I googled “boisterous definition” was noisy, energetic, cheerful, and rowdy – sounds like a pretty good description for a lot of little boys (and girls). Why on earth would somebody take this meaningless little two-sentence “article” and make it into something negative?!
