No. In my human biology class (some time ago now) It was explained to me that brown eyed parents can have a recessive gene which enables brown eyed (or mixed blue/brown) parents to produce both blue and brown eyed children. But as blue eyes are made up of recessive genes blue-eyed parents can only have blue eyed children. If it was possible to produce a diagram to make it easier to understand I would.
