Sum Total File Size By Year

I have the following data:

Time FileName FileSize
5/4/2010 stuff.txt 151
7/15/2010 whatever.txt 252
6/5/2011 things.txt 353
6/7/2012 yes.txt 454
8/5/2012 no.txt 555
9/10/2013 blah.txt 656



What I need is an output showing the number of files from each year and the total size of files from that year. I got the first part by doing:

index=temp_index | stats count by date_year

This outputs:

Date_Year Count
2010 2
2011 1
2012 2
2013 1



What I need is a third column that adds the total file sizes for each year so:

Date_Year Count TotalFileSize
2010 2 403
2011 1 353
2012 2 1009
2013 1 656
