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!

Upsetting.

You know, some people think just because we live in Hollywood our lives are perfect, that is far from the truth. We deal with everyday struggles, and some that other people don't have to go through. Fame only makes life more complicated and being in the public eye all the time we have to watch every move we make and get criticized for everything. Nobody is perfect and we are no exception.

Something that is really upsetting to me is seeing all of the posers on Facebook, Twitter, and everywhere else.  I mean we don't pose as you why pose as us? If you want to show us support send us fan mail or make a fan page, don't lead other people on though. We love seeing the fan pages, and we respond to most of our fan mail. I don't understand why people do it but no matter what it's going to happen. Everyone is beautiful and special so live YOUR life to the fullest. :) That's my rant on that subject, although I could go on for hours.

Miley's tour is almost here and I can't even tell you how excited we are! Some of these places she has never been to and we can't wait to get out there and reach out to people who don't get to see her as often! She hasn't booked any US dates because we really don't feel like dealing with the US media and we want to spend time in other places that we don't get to visit often. It's amazing going there and seeing all of the fans, the support, and everything else!

Well i'm going to go spend some time relaxing and maybe sleep if I can! I hope you all have a great week, and my only Fan Page on Facebook is http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tish-Cyrus/113295355422599

Issues.

Not everyone realizes all the issues that are going on this world, and no i'm not referring to the Japan crisis although that is a horrible thing that nobody should need to go through or experience.

Teen pregnancy is becoming a HUGE issue especially here in America. Miley stayed home yesterday because she wasn't feeling well and we ended up laying in bed watching "Teen Mom".  What these girls are going through is extremely tough and our heart goes out to them. Being a young mother isn't easy. I was young when I had my first two kids, although I wasn't 16/17. At that age I don't feel that you are really ready to be a mom but sometimes it causes you to grow up and be responsible and other times it can really hurt you. As a young mom you don't have all the answers and are still so young yourself and being a mom impacts your life in such a  huge way. I give credit to all of the teenagers, male and female, who are stepping up to raise their children though. If it is in God's plan it will happen, although more parents need to inform their children about the issue in my opinion and the kids need to be aware of the consequences and try and prevent it.

Bullying, will it ever end? I don't think it will ever end completely, but we have to try. Kids will be kids but there has to be a limit. My kids were bullied and are still bullied today, and as a parent it is very sad and hard to watch your kids go through. Nobody likes to be picked on or labeled so why do we do it to others? If you don't like someone or something someone does just don't associate with them. It's as simple as that.

Obesity is another issue and I know I do what I can to make sure that my family stays active and that we eat healthy. I'm not saying that we don't eat junk food but we try not to eat it constantly. There are many ways to stay active and options for eating healthy and it really does improve your health which is something everyone should strive for.

Well my hands are starting to hurt from being on the computer all day and typing so much on here and so fast so i'm going to go spend some quality time with my family! I hope you think about some of these issues and what you can to do to change your life or someone else's.  :)

thank you

I just wanted to take a few minutes to blog and say THANK YOU. Our fans honestly mean so much to our family. We have fans that have been with us since the beginning when Billy Ray first started through now. It's so fun to watch our fans grow up with us and we are so happy that we have had the chance to share that with you.

The reason I wanted to do this blog was because tonight was the Kids Choice Awards. Miley was so happy that she won tonight! She was thrilled, and we were so proud of her. What makes the KCA's so special and different from a lot of the other awards that she attends is that the fans are the ones that choose the winners! You guys decide and to see that you all still love, care, and support us is the most wonderful feeling. It's more than we could ever ask for and you guys are the ones that allow us to do this. If it wasn't for you buying the CD's, movies, concert tickets, and everything else, we wouldn't be here. You guys made my daughters dream come true and as a mother it just warms my heart that she can live out her dream! So I wanted to say thank you to all of our wonderful fans out there!

I'm still getting questions about Billy and I getting a divorce. NO! WE ARE NOT DIVORCED. We never legally went through all the steps to become divorced, although we did start the process. We did spend the evening together and yes of course, we were followed by the paparazzi. No they don't just follow Miley. We did just buy a new Lexus SUV and I love it! It's beautiful, although I don't know much about cars. Haha.

I'm going to get off of here, and spend the rest of the evening with my family and try and get some rest. I think I'm coming down with a cold, which is never fun. I hope everyone is happy and healthy! God Bless!

Facebook.

Well I'm having trouble sleeping tonight, seeing as it is 12:35 am here in California so of course I'm messing around on the computer. When I originally made a Facebook I never intended to get so many requests and people wanting to be my friend. I didn't even understand the concept of it, I made one to have it just like anyone else but it has started to turn into a problem and a hassle. There are so many of you on there that once again I am having to watch what I say, what I post, and what pictures I put up. I think at the moment on Facebook I have 5,000 friends which is the limit and over 800 friend requests waiting to be approved. I get so much junk on there such as event invites, game requests, and everything else that I simply can't keep up with it. I made it originally to have one to connect with people and maybe try and find some old friends and ended up getting a huge fan base. I love all of the fans on there but I need my privacy just like the rest of my family so I am giving you the option to follow me on the fan page, which I will update just as often. I will still be posting blogs and everything else but as far as my actual Facebook page, It's time that I make it private. I know this will upset some of you all but I have to do what I feel is needed and right and this is it. I have way too many people on there and it is way too much to try and create a whole new facebook because I won't ever use one of them. I do appreciate all the support and hope that you all follow me on the new Facebook page. I hope everyone understands my reasonings, and that you respect my decision. I will miss all of  you on there constantly sending me messages, wall posts, photo comments and everything else but you can do all of that on the Fan Page too! I look forward to seeing the fan page grow past 5,000 because I believe that you all can make it happen!

I'm going to try and get some sleep now and will start this process in the morning! Thank you and God Bless.

Divorce.

Divorce is never easy on a couple, or on a family. Everyone knows that. When you go through a divorce you like to try and keep things private and you go through a lot of emotions. What people never understood was we went through it too, and we had the whole world watching. It broke news and that was it, let the flood gates open. We had paparazzi everywhere, we had questions coming in galore. It was difficult, we had nowhere to run, and we have to be extremely careful what we say. Our kids were being harassed for information about what was going on, we had stories in the news that weren't true, and so much more.. It was devastating. We were watching our lives fall apart and there was nothing we could do. We felt helpless and angry that people were so inconsiderate about it.

We went through the paperwork and the lawyers and were trying to keep things as quiet as possible and as normal as possible for our kids. It's one thing for them to go to school and tell their friends or be asked by peers that they know, that's going to happen but when you have paparazzi following you asking questions that's just rude. We wished they would have shown some respect during that difficult time. Our kids were trying to cope with it which was hard enough but to be honest the media made everything a million times worse for not only Billy ray and I, but also our children. We knew it was going to be hard but we never expected it was going to be that bad. We felt even worse knowing that our children had to deal with it and see these stories and everything else.

Like I just stated in my other blog, Billy Ray and I have decided to NOT go through with a divorce. We had decided to work things out for ourselves and more importantly our children. We have been together for quite some time, and celebrated our anniversary while we were separated. That was very difficult. We were both very upset and hurt at the time that he filed and then realized that it wasn't the right thing for us to do. He filed March 11, 2011 to basically "cancel" the divorce. We had spent the holidays together for the kids, putting all differences aside and then we had talked and discussed what was going to happen between us and that is when we decided to officially try and reconcile.

Communication gets lost, and I think that was our biggest issue. We were all on different pages and everything just got out of hand. Things are a little harder for us because we are in the public eye but we keep things as normal as possible at home. Things aren't much different than any of your households. We are happy now and everything is slowly returning to normal between Billy Ray and I, and with our kids. It was heartbreaking to see the kids reactions and watch them go through this as well. They took it pretty hard. Our kids always looked up to us as being "true love" and when we fell apart and things slipped out of hands they definitely didn't take it easy. We have learned that no matter what, you have to be honest and communicate and keep trying. When things get hard, don't give up. We did go through the process, we had lawyers and had looked at the paperwork and everything else which was nerve wracking and if you've ever been through a divorce you know what I'm talking about. We are very happy to be back together and are excited to rebuild our connection as a couple and our family.

I'd like to say God has definitely gotten us through another chapter in our lives, and our fans were amazing during this time of need. I don't know how many people said that they kept us in their thoughts and prayers but it was overwhelming! We appreciate the love and support and I hope these blogs help you see that we are a normal family too. This one was especially hard for me because it means letting my guard down and opening up to you all. Thank you once again and God Bless. <3

Update!

I'm sure a lot of you all read gossip sites and believe most of it if not all of it. Most of  it is unreliable. So i'm going to take some time real quick to clear up some stuff :) I'm not sure what you have heard and what you haven't so I'm just going to blog about it anything I can think of that needs to be clarified.

There was a rumor going around that Miley was seen out in public drunk. She went to Chateau for a meeting with Dr. Luke. The meeting ended up being late that night but there was no drinking or drugs involved. It was strictly work. She was not "stumbling" she was blinded by all of the flashing camera lights though. People don't realize how bright their flashes are and when you have several cameras going and snapping photos back to back it can be blinding especially at night. That's another reason why it is so dangerous.

I'm not sure how many of you all watched "The View" when my husband guest stared. Yes, I did just say my husband. Billy Ray and I have decided to reconcile and he has officially filed the paperwork to "cancel" the divorce. We are both happy and doing much better, the whole family is. This was a very hard and stressful time for not only Billy Ray and I but also our children and when people constantly tried to get information it made it worse. Communication was a huge issue in our marriage and even in our family, just like everyone else's. When everyone is always on the go, doing something different and never on the same page things just get out of hand. We realized that even though we had fallen apart that maybe it wasn't the best option to be divorced, and that we still had a chance of working it out. We have started working things out and like I said everything is much better. We are focusing on rebuilding our marriage and our family and we thank everyone who has given us and continues to give us support during these hard and rocky times! Our fans are truly the greatest support system and we appreciate everything you all do. 

Billy Ray's GQ article was seen as bashing the family and Disney. What people don't understand is that he had done that article in December, in the midst of everything. He was angry and he was watching his whole life fall to pieces just like the rest of us. He did admit on "The View" that it wasn't the best idea to let them in and to do the interview but he did it and we can't do anything about it now. What he said was mostly out of anger. Were we upset when it first came out? Yes, of course we were because of the way he handled it and said things but you have to look at the whole picture.  He was alone, it was near Christmas time and we were in the middle of filing and going through a divorce, and watching everything spin out of control. Those times were hard and December was the month we got married which didn't help at all either. He has apologized for what he said and he realizes that some of what he said came out wrong. We as a family have forgiven him and we hope that you all do too. Everyone makes mistakes, ours are just shown everywhere. 

"Every Rose Has it's Thorn" will be released soon! We are excited to be releasing it, Miley and Bret both worked very hard on this song. I know she is excited to finally be able to release it as a single, since it was supposed to be done awhile ago.  The reason it was never released was because when it came time to release it and everything started falling apart there were rumors going around that I had an affair with Bret. That is NOT true. I did attend a concert of his, and we had talked on the phone and through e-mails but everything was business related. When the rumors came out, we had to delay the release. We are excited that everything is back on track though. Everything has just been falling into place, in every area of our lives. 

I believe that is all that really needs to be cleared up right now, I will do another blog soon. I'm going to try and do this at least once a week. My family and I would like to thank you for all of the support you have given us during all of this and the hard times. We appreciate the prayers and concerns, we are just trying to live day to day like everyone else. We are happy, and glad that things are working out and thankful that God let us see the light! We are going to be focusing on bringing our family back together and staying positive. Thank you all once again, we really do appreciate our fans and the love and support and we can't say that enough. Without you all we wouldn't be here!
