Welcome to the Blogcast Archives. We had a blast creating the Abbott-y Blogcast, and we’re delighted that many of the episodes were so well received by the viewing public. It remains a very nice piece of family history to have, and I highly encourage other families out there to start your own blogcasts! 
Episodes in Season Two (2011)
Our first episode after a holiday break. Mostly leftover footage from 2010. (Not our best episode, to be honest, but still fun.)
Luke and Kyle take a trip to Redwood City to attempt 2011 karate kicks for charity! Is such a thing even humanly possible? Only one way to find out!
Kyle and Luke hone their plumbing skills while trying to install a new water heater. Hi-jinks ensue.
Meet the Bomber. In this episode, the Abbott boys use it to haul the old water heater to the dump. Only on the Abbott-y Blogcast does this become entertainment.
Trouble at the mechanics! Will the beloved Bomber survive? (This is one of our FAVORITE episodes of 2011!)
Three unrelated stories that I didn’t realize were related until I went to write the episode title.
On January [hmnahmna], Papa (Carl Abbott) turned…a year older. Celebrate with us at the one and only burger-dot.
Luke has discovered the perfect dance form for he and Kyle to conquer: Argentine Tango! But will Kyle be able to find a tango partner?
Go behind the scenes of your favorite bi-weekly reality-based family-style documentary!
Attendance the karate class that Luke and Kyle teach has been dwindling as of late. What will they have to do to keep the club together?
The Abbotts welcome you into their home and backyard (as always) to come cook some chicken with them.
The Abbotts are all ready to teach their beginners’ playing-by-ear course in Santa Cruz; but wait, is that someone in the classroom already?
The Abbott-y Blogcast is back after a four-week hiatus to bring you a “feel good” blogcast about their garden. It’s good to be back!
The Abbotts have big plans for reorganization, plans too big to tackle today…but, after all the excitement of thinking about it, *something* needs to be done…
Luke and Kyle go to Tokyo to test for their black belts in karate. But will they have the endurance to keep up in class?
The second installment of Luke and Kyle’s Japan 2011 chronicles.
The final chapter in the Abbott Brother’s 2011 Japan Trilogy, culminating in the big test for the Shotokan black belt!
