Updates :)

Well as most of you all know we just celebrated Billy Ray's 50th birthday! So many years have passed since we have gotten together and I'm just so blessed to share these years and many more to come with him. Sadly we didn't get to celebrate the actual day together with the kids since he's still working but we did go see him. Billy, Braison, Noah, and I had a wonderful time zip lining. The kids had a blast but sadly Brandi, Trace, and Miley weren't able to join us due to their own schedules so i'm sure there will be more celebrating when he returns although we did all spend a day together before his birthday.

As i'm sure everyone has heard online our son Trace's girlfriend Brenda is pregnant. I will not be confirming or denying this, because that is something they should do. That's their news not mine to share. So please respect them and my family and not ask questions because when they are ready to release statements or if she starts showing then everything will be cleared up :)

Miley is not currently putitng together a new album although it may be in th future. She's been in the studio and recording but mainly because she loves to make music. She's enjoying having some downtime and sometimes that's the best way to get songs out is to not feel pressured.

I think that's about it for right now, I hope everyone is doing well!

Here ya go.

I have had several people ask when i'm going to be doing another blog so here it is :) I'm so thrilled people actually read these things, it's normally just a way for me to vent. I'm glad you all enjoy it though!

Things have been great here in the Cyrus house, although Billy Ray is currently working and not anywhere close! Right now he's in Canda filming a new movie, which we are all excited about. I'm so glad that he's having fun working and making new music although we miss him dearly. It's never easy when he's away! He traveled to norway also this past month and I must say he amazes me everyday with his huge heart!

Miley is back in LA and enjoying every min of being home and being back in the studio! She's just like her father, workaholic! But who said that was a bad thing? Sometimes dedication is what it takes and i'm so proud that she's been able to follow her dream and become such a beautiful and talented young lady. Hard work is key! She's been in the news for smoking and people have been in an uproar. She's eighteen years old and it's legal. Do her father and I approve? Absolutely not! There isn't much I can do but express my concern and lecture which doesn't always work with teenagers. She's trying to explore the world and sometimes you make mistakes. If we don't let her make mistakes she will never learn and grow. She's legally an adult and although parental guidance is always best it doesn't always work either. She's a strong person and has to decide for herself what she wants in her future. We can't control her and make her a puppet on a string. Many teenagers smoke but because of her status and role model title it's a bigger problem than what it should be. I'm not agreeing with her that smoking is something she should do but I'm still going to defend her because she's my child. We thank everyone for the concerns over this though.

I'm not sure what else to write about or to clear up, i'm extremely tired today. Coffee is wonderful though I must say :) I hope everyone has a great week and weekend! It's that time of year again where school is starting so I hope that it goes wonderfully for both students and parents :) Hope you had a great summer!

A little bit of everything.

I know I've posted about Facebook before but as everyone knows I had to create a new one since my old one got deleted for unknown reasons. It was nice to be able to start over though I must say. When I originally created a Facebook account I had every intent on keeping it personal and private. I never imagined how popular and crazy it would truly be but I opened it up to the fans with an open heart. It's honestly a shame that people want proof and I constantly get the questions..."can you send me autographs, can i have your number, can you call me or text me" everything imaginable. The answer is no and always will be. I have to keep things somewhat private in my life. I get a lot of fan mail and I respond to everything I can when I get the chance. I try to keep interaction with the fans seeing as you all look up to me and everything else. I try my best to keep everything updated and everything else but sometimes it can be difficult. If you honestly don't believe me why do you waste your time? I've never understood that and I don't have the time or the want to deal with the drama and problems. I have enough of that already in my life. Sometimes I wonder why I have it all. And then the people that add me and don't really care as if I'm just another number on their friends list. What's the point in that? Someone else would love to be on my list and be able to talk to me and know about our family. I hope you understand all of this and that I don't mean to be harsh or rude it's just how I feel. Another thing is that I post statuses that aren't always happy go lucky but that doesn't always mean something is wrong. I post things because I find them cute, motivational, or they might just have a secret meaning to my life. You might not know so don't take everything to heart.

Gypsy Heart Tour is officially over. It's a bittersweet ending. I missed the last few shows because I came back home early. I wish I would have stayed but I'm glad to be home finally. The tour was a blessing and it was so fun getting to visit new places and see all of the fans who had waited for Miley. The shopping was fantastic too although i'm not sure Billy agreed. :) It was a blast and Miley's so excited to get home and work on some new music. Yes, I know many of you wish we would have toured in the US but at the same time we wanted to get to tour places where they don't get to see her as often or where they have never seen her before. We have toured in the US with each tour but this one and Miley just didn't want to which is her choice. The US media has been extremely hurtful to her and she was going where her heart was leading her. That's the joy of following your heart. Now that tour is over we can all kick back and relax, (Yeah Right!) but we can dream. :)

Billy Ray's new album just released and I'm so proud of him. His career is taking off again and he's loving every minute of it! Yes, that means he's not home as much as I'd like but if it means living his dream it's something I will deal with. He's excited and happy and I love it. I'm so glad he's happy and having fun with his fans. He has missed being out on the road and I know he enjoys every second of it. I hope you all are enjoying the new album!!!

Well I think this is it for the night. Hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday weekend!!! God bless.

So i've come to the conclusion that most people think my life is easy. Remember, things aren't always what they seem. Just because my husband and daughter are in the public eye and are considered Famous, Stars and everything else doesn't mean our life is always happy and perfect.

I'm a mom, above everything else I'm a mother and wife. I get up early, I do laundry, clean house, cook meals, and help with schoolwork and everything else that comes along. That's my first and foremost job in this world and always will be. I usually get up before everyone else and go to bed late because I'm constantly doing something. Sometimes I forget to take time out of the day for myself too. It's not always easy. I've had 5 wonderful children and I wouldn't trade them for the world but raising 5 kids can be tricky at times, especially when my husband spends a lot of time working. These past few years after Miley has a made a name for herself one of us have been with her the whole time. While she was doing Hannah her father was with her since he was also on the show but other than that the responsibility fell to me. I enjoy every moment I can get with my children and being able to spend time with her and watch her grow into a woman and watch her career grow has truly been a blessing. Does it take time away from my other kids? Of course, but they understand. They all know that when someone needs something I'm the first one they can call, no matter what the situation. I'm my kids biggest fan, and I always will be. My day consists of feeding them, laundry, cleaning, everything that a normal wife and mother does. Do I have some help, yes of course I do but I try to do most things myself especially since I'm a perfectionist.

A lot of people also think that because we have money or are considered rich that it makes everything better. That's not always true. Money doesn't buy happiness and it never will be able to. Sure, it can buy you something and make you stop thinking but that problem is always there. Feelings don't go away just because you purchased something. Money is nice, I won't lie. I don't have to worry about how my bills will be paid and I know I can go out and not worry about it. Do I enjoy it? Of course. I'm a shopaholic but my husband and I still budget and watch our spendings just like you. We don't want to blow it just because it's there. We do save and put money aside. Our kids have always been blessed to be able to have what they want when we feel they deserve it. But money also can cause a lot of problems because you do have it and feel it's just there to be spent, and it does that with everyone. You have to be careful and responsible whether you have a little money or a lot. There's the good and the bad with every situation.

People don't realize that things in my life aren't perfect. I've got a husband who is constantly gone and we can go weeks at a time without seeing each other. It's hard, it causes strain in a relationship and when you have people in your ears saying things that aren't true or see articles about yourself or your children that aren't true or are nasty it can hurt. Everything we say has to be taken with a grain of salt. Everyone has our bad days including us. We have lived this life since before the kids. We've rode the wave of being on top to being on the downside and having a break and then back at the top again. Things in our lives change everyday and it causes a lot of stress but we handle it, know what's true, and move on.

I really wish people would stop and think that maybe they aren't perfect either and see that we deal with the day to day stress of being a family too and I hope these blogs let you see that. We do our best to be role models, and inspirations to our fans but sometimes we snap and say things or do things that aren't always the best. I'm not the one in the industry but I feel the pressure and see what happens. I've been behind the scenes and up front, I've gotten hate mail, I've gotten fan mail. All that matters to me is that my family is happy. Do our fans make us happy? OF COURSE. We love our fans and can't believe there are so many of you.

Well i'm done rambling on and I think i've covered what I needed to. I hope this gives you a little insight on my life and how it isn't always perfect. Thanks guys. I hope you all enjoy these blogs.

Just a quick one.

Well I just logged on and i'm glad to see that i've gained some new followers! That's always exciting and makes me want to do more on here, I hope you all are enjoying the blogs and I'm doing my best to keep them coming and frequent. It's hard with the crazy schedules that all of us have and trying to think of what to say without saying too much, so if you ever have something you'd like to hear about or anything please feel free to let me know. I'm always open to more suggestions!

I just wanted to say how blessed I truly am. I thank GOD everyday for giving me the wonderful family that I have and letting my husband and kids live their dreams. It's amazing to be able to experience it with them! Without our fans we wouldn't be here, you guys keep us going. It's really fun for me to not only be able to interact and see Miley's fans and Brandi's and Trace's but to be able to connect with Billy Ray's fans and people who have been there since the beginning and watched our family grow. We've been in the public eye for a long time now and to hear about the old days from people who were fans before Miley even started Hannah is just amazing. People that have shared with us memories from when we first came into this industry to the present to me is just a wonderful feeling and a blessing. I'm just so amazed that people have even wanted to follow us and stay with us for that long. Through our journey our fan base has expanded and that is just equally amazing. Through the good times and the bad our fans have supported us and have shown their love and we couldn't be more thankful. We always know someone has our back and our fans really do mean the world to us. I just wanted to say Thank you, and to say I love hearing from you all. I hope you all continue to grow with us, and if not we understand.

I'm off now, and am always open to new suggestions on what to blog about. Please feel free to give feedback, I don't bite. :) I hope everyone has a marvelous and blessed week. Remember that love is stronger than hate and family and friends are important so don't forget to thank them and let them help you when you need it. God Bless.

Updates!

So the tour is going AMAZING. I'm loving Australia and don't want to leave. There have been a few problems but nothing too major. The volcanic ash decided to make it hard to get to our next destination but it was nothing too bad, although the poor crew had to take buses. As i'm sure you all know a fan rushed the stage in Melbourne. It was a scary thing for not only Miley but also myself. That's my little girl. Things like that are extremely risky for us. That is why we have such tight security. Thankfully our security got her off the stage and Miley brought back stage safely. My heart skipped a beat and I almost rushed out too. I'm not going to say much about this topic other than I'm happy nobody was hurt and everything is okay. Just remember how we feel when you do things like that too.

These time changes are so difficult on me! I'm not getting much sleep and my body has still not completely adjusted but it's getting better. Glad to be here though and all of our fans are amazing. All of the places we have been on this tour have been beautiful and the fan support is overwhelming. We appreciate the support, love, and can't wait to come back to these places one day!

It's been rough not being able to share all of these amazing experiences with my other children and husband. I definitely do miss all of them and can't wait to be home with them. But absence makes the heart grow fonder :) Being on the road has been something I've done for awhile now but that doesn't mean it makes it any easier. I think it's time for a family vacation!

Yes, I have a Facebook, Twitter, Formspring, and this blog. I try to keep as in the social sites as possible for the fans. If you need think you can comment on here and I will be more than happy to post them for you. Sorry i'm not blogging much, trying to do my best! God Bless!

Reflections.

You know I've been thinking a lot over how my life has changed in a year. A lot has happened, some bad some good. Things happen, people change, and we grow as a person and move on.

This year has been one crazy ride in my life. I've held on tight and I've come to terms with it all and things are still changing, happening, and it's not slowing down. It will never slow down because that's life, that's just the way it is. People don't realize I have my good days, my bad days, my okay days, and i'm still a hormonal woman with 5 kids and a husband. I'm not perfect, I've made mistakes in my past, with my kids, in my marriage, and i'm still making them and will continue to make them. I'm not going to go into all of my mistakes because honestly I don't believe that is really anyone's business.

I remember falling love with the man I call my husband and my other half. It was not planned, but it was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I was a wild child and he was the one to change everything. He took in my other two children that weren't even his. He became their dad. Anyone can be a father but it takes a real man to be a dad, and my husband is a great one. He loves all of the kids with all of his heart, he would do anything he could for them. He loves me unconditionally and just like every other marriage and couple we have our days when we fight and days when we don't want to leave each others side. Our marriage is very different from most marriages as i'm sure you can tell. We aren't a normal couple, or family. We aren't very affectionate in public, and we are separated a lot and not by choice. As you all know my husband is very involved with his career and I couldn't be happier for him. I'm very involved with my children and Miley's career and I couldn't be more proud of them but it does separate us at times and cause us to be away from each other and the kids. It can really cause a strain on a marriage and I think anybody could understand why. Last year we went through a really rough patch and it took a toll on every single one of us in the family. Things were hard but we got through it and are happier than ever and we know that we are meant to be and nothing will ever change that.

I remember the day I told Billy Ray that I was pregnant, he was shocked, happy, and scared. This was his first baby other than Christopher who was not part of his life. His mother and I got pregnant around the same time. She gave him a son, I gave him a daughter. He was there by my side through the whole pregnancy and when he couldn't be my phone did not stop ringing! During my pregnancy he knew that her name should be Destiny Hope, so that was her name. She was such a happy baby and her nickname was Smiley which was shortened to Miley. We are so proud of everything she has accomplished and she still amazes us to this day. She's become a wonderful and beautiful young woman and she will have our support no matter what. She is our baby girl and always will be.

Not too long after I ended up getting pregnant again. This was another experience that brought us together. This time I gave him a son, Braison Chance. He just turned 17 in May. It's amazing to think that I brought him into this world 17 years ago. I remember him taking his first steps, his first bike ride, his first girlfriend, and his first break up. Boys are a lot of different than girls, but I'm glad that I had the chance of giving Billy a son. He is growing into a young adult and I can't wait to see him grow into a man and have a wife and family as his own. He is a lot different from the girls but reminds me so much of my older son and his dad.

I got pregnant a few years later with our youngest Noah Lindsey. She's the baby of the family and she's a mommy and daddy's girl. They are all like that. They know who to go to for what and they love us both. This time, he knew I was pregnant before I did. Sure enough, he was right. He knows me so well. I gave him another girl. Noah Lindsey. She's our youngest, our baby, and our little princess. She's a daddy's little girl, and mommy's princess. She's hyper, crazy, and can always make you laugh and she loves to snuggle. She's only 11 and starting to notice boys and I'm not sure i'm okay with that! I can't believe my baby is starting to become a teenager but we can't wait to watch her blossom into a young lady and see what she does and see what happens in her life.

My kids are truly my world. I'm a mother and wife and that's what is important to me. Nothing else in this world matters as long as I have my family. When we are all apart we are constantly calling, texting, or online together. We have a strong family connection and I hope that never changes. My kids are very grounded, and what's kept them that way is our family. Yes, we love to shop but what woman doesn't! We are so grateful for everything in our lives. Our fans are wonderful and we are so glad that you all have decided to support us in everything we do. The fans are what let us continue and let my children live their dreams and I couldn't be more thankful as a mother.

Things are still changing, my husband and I are getting older and my kids are growing up so quickly. I've learned this year and over my life not to take things for granted and to keep those that you love close to you. Things can change in an instant and you never know when that may be. It's hard seeing my kids grow up but it's time to let them make some mistakes and grow into adults. I've learned not to regret things and to accept the past and what's happened because if you don't you will never move into the future. I can't wait to see what life brings my family and I in the years to come, and I'm ready to take on whatever life throws at me.
