First Soccer Season

Well we are experiencing our first season of Soccer. Isabella and Sofia are lucky enough to be on the same team. Their aunt and uncle John and LaRon are their coaches. They are the "Sharks" and so many of their good friends are on their team! They've had 2 games so far and it's been quite entertaining. After finishing T-Ball this summer, on their first soccer game, they were blown away at how fast and aggressive soccer is. They put Isabella in at goalie and we soon found out how good she was at that. Her second game she played more offense and with her long fast legs she scored her fist goal. She was so excited, and now her confidence is built and she is not so afraid anymore. Sofia still would rather be playing in the dirt or on the playground than running around kicking that soccer ball. Her and her friend Brooklyn are in their own little world out there. It's funny though, and we have to remember they are only 4! We have a good time going to their games every Saturday!


Isabella is so fast to get the ball out of the goalie area

First Lost Tooth



It was an exciting day around here on October 25th. Isabella's first loose tooth that was hanging on my a thread for more than 3 weeks finally fell out! She was more than excited, and could hardly wait for the tooth fairy to come! Before she went to bed that night she asked us if the tooth fairy will leave like $100 so she could buy a video camcorder that she's been wanting. We both said...well not exactly. The tooth fairy doesn't leave that much, but whatever he does leave you can save that towards a camcorder. He left her 9 quarters, and She was happy with that! I can't believe she's already lost her first tooth. It's said for me, but also fun to see how excited she is!

Baby Boy Stosich is Here!!!!

Our Sweet Little Boy was born on October 19, 2009...one week ago today! We named him Luka Hartman and we are all so in love with him!
This was me leaving for the hospital getting ready to be induced. They started the induction at noon and it was the calmest, easiest labor I've had yet! The whole process was so smooth and Hartman is a great support for me. He was born at 6:54 pm and weighed 8 lbs 15 oz & 21 inches long! He is perfect and we are so blessed to have this sweet little boy in our family!

Me trying to force a smile between the contractions!

Can't quit looking at him

My sister LaRon was with us for his birth and took all the pictures. She's been there for all 4 of my children's deliveries.
We were so lucky to have Hartman's Mom at the hospital as well. She has also been the biggest help for us this past week while we recovered at home!

Getting ready to go home!


Home at last. His 3 older sisters are so in love with him. They can't quite kissing him, and thinks he smells really good! They run in everyday from school anxious to hold him!



Needless to say, We've got many more pictures to post! But I thought this was a good start!
We just love our lil' Luka!!!

Happy 6th Birthday Isabella

Happy Birthday Isabella




Isabella turned 6 on October 15th. She had a fabulous Hannah Montana Rockin Birthday Party with all her friends and family! It was so exclusive you had to have a VIP Backstage pass to enter. We had face painting, make-up, and a lot of dancing and singing. Hartman is the best and made the IPOD CAKE! It was a fun party and we can't believe our baby is getting so big. We love you Bella and you are the sweetest daughter we could ask for!
