In the second swipe, Emily added a video of the Bushman family gathered with their loved ones for a gender reveal.

Emily held her toddler Micah Jane on her hip as daughter Andie Mae, 4, stood in between her mommy and daddy.

The couple did a quick countdown before their handheld smoke-filled props popped open to let out a cloud of blue smoke.

On Feb. 1, ahead of Super Bowl LVIII, Emily posted aTikTok videoin which she revealed how she was “preparing for the Super Bowl." She said her two girls would be staying with her mother for the Feb. 11 festivities.

“So, two weeks before the players have to get all of the logistics figured out. The players get a certain amount of tickets for the Super Bowl and only two of them are comped,” she said while walking with a then-7-month-old Micah Jane, who sat in a carrier.

“The tickets are about four times as much as they usually are,” Emily said, noting that each player gets two tickets comped, but any other seats would have to be purchased separately.

“If a great opportunity presents itself in the NFL again, I’ll take it,” the former pro athlete told theY’s Guyspodcast in April, perDeseret News. “But after a lot of prayer and a season of thought, I felt it was time to take the next step and move away from football.”
