I have brown hair, and my husband has blonde. Our oldest has brown hair, that is just like mine, but our 5 other kids all have blonde hair like my husband. I was just curious. How many of your kids have the same color hair as you?
My son has my exact same shade of blonde as me (and I have been this shade of blonde my whole life). My daughter has a honey brown that neither my husband or I have. She also has brown eyes and both my husband and I have green/hazel. I joke all the time that she's the mailman's kid. lol

My husband had that hair color as a small child as well, but it never occurred to me in a million years that I'd have a blonde baby. I even have strangers comment on "where did that blonde hair come from?" because mine is so dark.

We joke that I was just the incubator for these kids. They look nothing like me! I have straight, fine, light blond hair and green eyes. My husband's hair is thick, jet black and curly, and he has brown eyes. Our older daughter has super-thick, wavy auburn hair, and her eyes are a darker brown than her dad's. Our younger daughter has super-thick, straight light brown hair (that keeps getting lighter as she gets older) and her eyes almost exactly match her dad's. I've often wondered how kids get the hair color they do. When both parents have blond hair, the kids will have blond hair - as blond hair is recessive. I get that. But how my kids ended up with hair color that neither parent has, I have no idea.

My husband and I both had blonde hair as children. Mine turned darker blonde with reddish tones (depending upon how much time I spend in the sun) and now brown, with reddish tones, as I have aged. My husbands is more just light brown.
Both of my parents also had blonde hair as children, and my dad's turned dark brown and mom's did too. (now my mom dye's her hair blonde/red tones)
Our kids were both born with blonde hair (and blue eyes, like me). Son is a true toe head... white blonde. Although, now that he is 15, it has gotten a little darker... and is pretty much the spitting image of the same hair color his dad had at the same ages. And the same darker eyebrows--to the point that people think he colors his hair, because they don't match.
Daughter has dirtier blonde locks, like I had. I wasn't the toehead white blonde like husband was... mine was more golden blonde. That is our daughter. When they get out in the sun, it lightens up considerably, too.
I expect as they get older (20's) their hair will darken more.
Son's eyes have also gotten a little less blue as he has aged. I took a picture of them the other day and posted on my facebook asking what color it was and got a variety of answers. From blue, to grey, to green, to hazel. Daughter's are still blue as the sky, like me. Husband has green eyes.

I have black hair.
My Husband has brown hair.
My kids have brown hair and very dark brown hair.
But they also have, unnoticeable strands of hair, that are blonde or red even.
This is per my Husband's background. In his family, hair color varies from blonde, to brown to red.
In my family, hair color is black.
My Husband had blonde hair as a kid.
As he got older, it turned brown.
This is common.
Kids hair color, changes until adulthood. Especially if it is blonde and the family has other hair colors in their family.

People with blonde hair normal have really blonde hair as a child (I did and my husband and now my kids do). My husband has brownish (with grey) hair as an adult and I have dark blonde. I think a lot of blondes turn darker around puberty. I started highlighting in college because my natural hair color looked homely. Also what i consider blonde might be different from other. I heard the Kardashian girls saying Khloe has blonde hair and I was thinking they were crazy. It might not be black, but defiantly not a blonde.

My husband had dark brown almost black hair that is thick and wavy. I had brown with red highlights and now have brown with gray highlights. Okay maybe it is more gray with brown highlights, but we will never know thanks to hair coloring. I also (before kids) had very thick curly hair, not it is no longer thick and is wavy.
My oldest has my color hair brown with red highlights and is very thick but straight and grows like no ones business. That girl donates hair to locks of love every year to year and half. That is saying a lot since it needs to be a certain length.
The youngest one has very blonde hair that is very fine and thin and has a little curl to it, but it barely grows. She is now 3 and it barely goes past her shoulders and has never been cut. She has my sisters hair, poor kid.
