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.

Shocked!
Well I'd like to start out with this, I don't watch much t.v. if that is any shock to you! But I was flipping through channels and had seen clips and heard about it and decided to just leave it on. I'm not sure if any of you all watch it but it's called "The Real Housewives of Orange County". I just want to say that I don't know if it's real or fake because i'm not friends with any of the women, but I have to say that you can see the tension and the real emotions.
From what I've gathered two of the women are going through a divorce. My heart goes out to them, and the fact that they have televised themselves going through the emotions and the heartbreak is very hard to do. As everyone knows my husband and I filed and started the process. It was a heartbreaking time for everyone and we had enough to contend with but when other people get involved and the media it can really take a toll. Luckily my husband and I realized it wasn't what we really wanted and that we truly did love each other and we reconciled.
I watched the episode where Tamra threw the wine on Gina because she was getting involved in her divorce and Vicki had just filed and was a mess and trying to put on a happy face for her party guests. That takes incredible strength to do. As far as throwing wine on someone, that was a little out of hand but I don't know everything behind that story either, but I must say that I was shocked by that. These women have way too much drama at times and seem to practically hate each other but yet film a show and hang out all the time which makes no sense to me AT ALL. If you don't like someone and they have done you wrong you don't hang out with them or act like their friend.
Well i'm done, let me know what you all think of the show!

Media.
Okay, well I would like to say that my family is doing great and still to this day even after everything that has been happened I still get questions about Bret Michaels and I. That truly hurts and is a shame! Bret Michaels and I were business friends and Miley helped him on a duet and he helped her with a song that was on her "Can't Be Tamed" album called "Every Rose Has It's Thorn", which was his song to begin with. The fact that they started trying to claim that I was having an affair is not only disrespectful but just embarrassing to the both of us. We have both denied the claims and then once my husband filed for divorce it was the so called reason for our divorce. People need to realize that we are still human and we have feelings also. We don't always show it when walking around but we go home and it's hard when your kids hear from friends at school or online or in a magazine that mommy is having an affair and then come home with the news. I try to keep my kids as sheltered and away from that kind of things as possible but obviously it's hard. It's sad that when our family was in a hard place and when we truly needed space and support that they would only intentionally make it more difficult. Those kinds of allegations are just ridiculous because you can really hurt someone or a relationship with that. It puts a strain on your relationship even if it isn't true because of the stress. I think i'm going to lay this topic to rest now and just say that i'm still very hurt over this and it needs to finally be dropped.

SONG.

I found this song by accident and have fallen in love with it. I hope you all do too. It moved me to tears and has been on repeat a lot of the day.

TOUR!
Tour has been so amazing so far! We love seeing all of you fans out here supporting us! We can't wait to keep going to new cities and we are so thrilled that we have so many fans all over the world. We love seeing all the new places and Miley just absolutely loves touring and singing her heart out.
It's sad to be away from the rest of the family, and we miss them dearly but we have grown accustomed to this life and we know it's only for a little while. We video chat, text, and call each day so we keep communication. Today is Mother's day and it's tough not being able to spend it with all of the ones that I love but we are sharing our love with the rest of the world and that means making sacrifices elsewhere. Tomorrow is my son's birthday which is another hard day and then comes Brandi and my birthday. May is a busy month in our family and tour is making it hectic but we couldn't be having more fun out here with all of you.
We want to say thank you for the support. we hope you are enjoying the show, and we can't wait to see all of you as we continue our travels on The Gypsy Heart Tour!
