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 have brown eyes and blonde hair
My ex husband has brown hair & green eyes.
We are both white, English descent some German and Irish but not very sure how much.
Our kids: our 6 yo dd has light brown hair and blue eyes that look more green every year, our 2 yo dd has blonde hair and brown eyes and our son has blue eyes that are very blue and very light blonde hair.
My ex dh's genes are more dominant.
Your pic Reminded me of DR.G!

Quoting Rllshamrock:
I am white, very white lmao I'm 5'1" and I have hazel green/blue eyes lol (mostly green, tho), Medium-dark brown, pretty thick hair, pretty much BLACK eyebrows and eyelashes, some freckles on my cheeks under my eyes. I am Irish, english (on my dads side), german, french, and I think a verrrrry small part blackfoot native american (on my moms side).
Hubby is also very white (lol) and also has medium to dark brown, thick hair. he's 5'10". His eyes are greenish-blue, also. (i think he has gorgeous eyes and lashes lol) he is half Czech (his moms side of the family is 100% Czech, she was the first generation to marry someone who was not of Czech heritage). On his fathers side, he is apache, comanche, cherokee (all very smal parts), scottish, and possibly some german and irish? He's told me before but its a LOT to remember lmao. We were both blonde-headed as small children, up until elementary school, and then both of our hair got progressively darker. (shrug). We dont have any children yet (except for furbabies! :P), but we are trying to conceive, and its very exciting to wonder what our children will look like! Green eyes? Blonde hair? Brown hair? who knows, eek! lol
(this pic is almost 3 years old lol but I don't have any of our others on the computer yet!)


I have red/auburn curly hair, green eyes (they were brown until I was about 14), pasty pale white skin, and freckles. I'm 1/4 Polish 1/4 Puerto Rican, and the rest is made up of Italian, Irish, and English.
Hubby has light brown/dirty blond wavy hair. He was bleach blond as a small child. He's got green eyes and he's pasty and white as well. He's mostly German, Italian, and English.
Madelynn has red hair and pale pasty white skin. Her eyes were dark blue for a long time, but they're starting to change. I'm thinking either brown or green. Hoping for green. And she's too little still, but hoping she'll get my freckles too. So the red hair won out even though it's a recessive trait. And the rest came from both me and hubby I guess.
I have blue eyes, fair skin, black hair. DH has brown eyes, dark skin, and black hair.
I am Italian, Irish and German. DH is Palestinian.
She got ALL his genes!!!!
Us:
Her:

My eyes are blue, and I have light brown hair. When I was little it was black and curly. Now it's straight. I am part German, French, English, and Swedish. 
He has medium-brown eyes, black hair, and dark skin. He is 100% Mexican. I forgot to mentio nhis hair is curly. He keeps it short so it won't curl. 
Our Daughter has medium-brown eyes. Her hair was black when she was born, but now it's lightening up. It'sa medium brown. It's odd because she has strands of BLACK hair, but she also has strands of RED, BLONDE, DARK/LIGHT BROWN. Her skin is a light brown color. She's not nearly as dark as him, but she's not as white as me, either. She has curly hair.
My oldest has blonde hair. Underneath it is black. It looks like I dyed her hair. IDK why. LOL... She is 100% white. Her sperm donor is white. I know he bragged about being irish, but I don't know what other decent he is. He has blonde hair and blue eyes. So, naturally, she got the blonde hair thing, and blue eyes. When she was born, it was sort of wavy, and had a reddish tint to it. It was like a strawberry blonde. Not anymore. You can't really see her darker hair here. I will try to upload her school pic. It's really noticeable there. She has straight hair.
I have light brown/brown hair and hazel eyes. My fiance has dark brown/black hair and dark brown eyes. Kyle has blonde/light brown hair and hazel/blue eyes. I'm Irish, Polish, Lithawanian, little bit of Native American, all sorts of stuff lol. Mainly Irish and Polish though. My fiance is Mexican and Native American. My genes seem pretty strong with the hair color, eye color. Kyle has lighter skin, but it's still pretty dark, way darker then my skin lol. But Kyle takes his father's features, the hair line, the eyes, lips, nose, eye brows, head shape lol even TOES! Lol!
