We are wanting a Siamese himalayan
Hmmm...  Guess you are wanting a cat with points.  Siamese and Himlayan are two breeds at the opposite ends of the spectrum in just about every way, except they both have the pointed pattern.  Siamese are slender, long-limbed with huge ears and a very short coat, Himalayans (pointed Persians) are stocky, small ears and a huge dense longhair coat.

All pointed kittens are born white and the points start to fill in over the first week or so.  They develop where the kitten is coolest - ears, feet, tail, nose. 
The kits may darken a bit as they age. I know. Orientals do and sometimes other breeds. The points also can darken.
Orientals don't darken with age - I know, I have three of them.  Siamese and other pointed cats do, and some seal-points become very dark with age.  Also pointed domestics are often darker as they haven't got the selective breeding for a pale body.

tonymel's litter doesn't contain any pointed kittens.  It does look like a couple have a fever coat - the two with a gradient from head to body.  I think they will end up black.

you Hi :) well I didn't really see any signs. she didn't have any milk I'm her nipples until the day she had them. She was really vocal for a couple of days but she acted normal the day before she had them. She was also very calm with the birth.

If the fever coat does go away, they will be a dark grey. They have a dark grey face with white underneath their ears

A fever coat is when the mother or the kitten has a fever at the time of birth and the coat of the kitten goes from dark to light. It will usually go away.

UPDATE: all of the kittens found a new home. A very nice lady took four of them. She volunteers to help feral cats and find them homes. One of the kittens went to a friend of mine. He's doing great :) Mrs. peppers got spayed on Wednesday. She had trouble climbing on my bed and she was slow at first but now she's acting fine. Thanks everyone for all the help throughout this thread! :D
