What color hair/eyes do you have? Your hubby? And your kids? What's your heritage? Whose genes are stronger?

 

I have light brown hair naturally (although it was nearly white when I was little), blue eyes and my heritage is 3/4 Norwegian 1/4 German. My hubby has brown hair and green eyes and is mostly of English decent with some other stuff thrown in there - LOL. My kids both have blue eyes and light brown/blonde hair. It's very apparent that my genes are strong! Much like my personality :DDD

I'm just a white girl, blonde hair (although it is constantly dyed a million different things now) and grayish-blue eyes.  DH is Hawaiian/Filipino dark skin, dark hair, dark eyes. The kids look just like him. I'm going to go to Maury and get a maternity test cause I don't even know if they are mine!!

I have blue eyes and naturally light brown hair it keeps getting darker though LOL I'm not too positive what my heritage is but I know I have German, Irish, and American Indian in me. My man has black hair and brown eyes I'm also not sure about his heritage but his mom is white and his dad ( whom he has never met ) is Indian straight from India. Our daughter has blue eyes and dark brown hair she also has his eye shape. She's only 16 months so her eye color could still change..... She looks exactly like her dad but has my personality all the way ;)

we all have brown hair and eyes. my son's skin is darker then both of ours but that is probally from my dads side because they are all dark skinned. my genes are stronger than my hubby, my son looks like I did at that age.

My hair is naturally dark brown and I have dark brown eyes.  My mother is full blooded Cherokee Indian. My father has some Cherokee indian too(though I don't know how much).  My husband has blond hair and blue eyes.  I have one daughter that is the spitting image of me and my middle daughter and the baby looks just like their daddy. On an interesting note, my husband has very slanted eyes..everyone on his father's side does.  When my oldest was a baby, she had the shape of her daddy's eyes and my dark brown eyes. With her complexion, people used to ask me and her daddy if the other was mexican or oriental which of course we are not.  All my babies got my brown eyes..I had hoped that one would have their daddy's pretty blue eyes..ahh well.

 

Truth is like the sun.  You can shut it out for a time, but it aint going away *Elvis Presley*

I'm Italian. I have hazel eyes, almost black hair. DH is Albanian, he has brown hair, and hazel eyes.

DS has hazel eyes and brown hair and DD has brown eyes and brown hair. No one got dark hair!

Aside from that I'd say our kids look a little like both of us. Like, DS has the same shape head, and hairline as DH, while his eye shape and mouth is like mine. DD's eye shape is like DH's but somehow people say she still looks like me.
